reason that the proportion Of persons of

the same may be said with regard to the
DEATH rates from particular causes. such
as cancer. diseases of the circulatory sys-

If the data for population and deaths
were sufficiently complete to permit the
computation OF MORTALITY STATISTICS for the
United States as a whole and for each in
dividual state, which statistics should be
as accurate as those for the principal Eu-
ropean countries, the results for such
large and diversified areas would be Of
but little greater interest and value than
those we already have. We know that
the death rate of the country. taken as a
WHOLE Is low. and that there are differ
ences In the death rates of different
states amounting to four or five per
thousand for the whites. but these facts
do not answer most of the questions
which are of the greatest interest in
sociology, in political science. in practical
hygiene. and in life insurance.
Inc ideal answers to these questions
would be an extensive series of life tables
which would show for each sex of each
race the expectation of life at each age,
for each city Of say 10000 Inhabitants and
upward, and for each of a certain num-
Der of occupations. with corresponding
| tables for each group showing the princi-
pal causes Of death.
We cannot compute from the census
data life tables of sufficient accuracy for
useful comparisons-not even for the
states and cities which have fairly COM

| data for the number of living persons in
each group are not only incomplete and
| inaccurate. but irregularly so, varying

different parts of large cities.

One of the items on the program of the
Governors visit to the federated Malay
States is that of 'meng-gelunchOr." or

Of Perak. and is know nto be of ancient
origin. The game is arranged as follows.

mcnt. warn their followers of their in
tentiOns. As ii is a game which abOunds
with much merriment and fun. several
hundred men. women and children soon
busy themselves In making preparations
for The picnic. which is usually part OF
the program. A spur of hills, from where
leaps a waterfall. and at the base OF
day appointed all instructed overnight
wend their way toward the foot Of the
hills. After climbing up the hills until the
pleasure seekers reach great rock on
which they can accommodate themselves

then made, and the business of cooking
started by the women folks.

the awkward slider to grasp hold of
something. his tumbling and humping as
he descends and final plunge into the
pool is sight which will provoke laugh

The exercise is continued till about !
O'Clock in the afternoon. by which time
everyone is tired and a hungry crowd
does justice to the meal. After an hour
spent in gossip and smoking. the picnic
is at an end. and the pleasure seekers
return to their homes. The novelty and
charm of the exercise is that there are
SO few casualties in the game. Beyond a
few scratches and bruisers. the sliders
seldom get the least hurt. Most of the
sliders are of course. trained men, and
used to the game. Sometimes the tough
flower sheaths of the Pinang and Nibong
palms, called by the natives ''upeh.' are
used to help them in the sliding, but they
