HE committee on statistics of the
Fraternal Congress, has issNed its re-
port. 1t finds the per capita cost of
doing business last year to have been
Sl.o5 or 81 cents for each $1,000.
This was an increase OF ~ cents per

Congress also found the death rate to
have been S.87 per 1000. Lapses
amounted to SO per cent, taking all
fraternal orders together. There is
food for much thought for jraternal
