Wasting $527,546 a Day.

Every day for the first six months
of this year fire consumed 1927, SAG
worth of property.
That's a pretty big waste bill.
But what do we care about it? The
insurance companies pay most of it
and, anyway. the loss isn't ours.
Well, the insurance companies do
not eliminate the damage, however
widely they distribute the loss, and
the loss falls upon every owner Of
property and every rent-Payer in
the United States. For the insur-
ance rate-which levies itself on
every citizen whether he owns his
house and pays direct OF rents his
house and pays through his land
lords gagged with mathematical
accuracy upon the average destruc-
ton of property through fire.
Better building, better building
regulations, and better enforcement
Of those regulations would save two
thirds of that S527,546. That is the
estimate of men whose lives are de
voted TO study of insurance. To be
sure, we cannot obtain these bene-
fits without higher cost to the land
lord and higher rents. But it is be-
lieved the advance in cost would,
for any reasonable period, be more
than offset by the lesser rate of in
surance. This Is worth thinking
about. 1t ought TO make US of the
District the reader TO accept the
new building regulations when they
are announced this fall.

Stretching Life.

To a world that declines to be
Oslerized comes new hope in the
shape of a prediction by DR.. Wiley,
the Government Galen, that an aver
zee span of life will soon be in fact
the hitherto theoretical three score
years and ten.
DR.. Wiley is not dreaming. The
common actuarial table has it now
that anyone who has lived to be
twenty-one is likely to live to be
over sixty, sixty-two and one-half,
we believe, is the exact compute
ton. Why not add on seven and a
half years more and make it an
even seventy?
1t is largely a question for the in
dividual to decide for himself
There is today a better knowledge
of how to live well than there ever
was before. Living well-living ra-
tionally-is the result of longevity.

Hence, for instance, this truly
twentieth century tendency to en-
gage a physician, not to cure the
ills of a family, but to keep the
family in good condition all the year
around. mostly through the agency
of advice and suggestions. Pills and
powders are fast going out of fash
ion. 1t has taken the world about
sixty centuries TO understand that
the stomach is Of some Importance
as we'll as the soul, and that tenn

right and healthfuI way of eating
and drinking, is as fundamental a
factor in the happy and useful life
as piety-

not only were the Jews great in

Hampering 1900 Children.

Philadelphia has built this past
year new school houses sufficient to
accommodate 1000 children. Her
school registration last year was
III, 900, and her buildings were then
seriously crowded. Meanwhile the
registration has increased to 175,OOO.
Obviously, the overcrowding has not
been ameloriated in the least.
The lesson of this experience ap-
plies with special force to Wash
ington. Our school accommodations
are inadequate. To prevent seating
children in corridors, the Board of
Education has been forced TO rent
about seventy empty houses and
convert them as best it could for
school uses. Meanwhile about $780,
600 has been available more than a
wear for the construction of new
buildings-and not a single new
building has been completed in that
period. Like Philadelphia, we have
spent our money, but we have made
no real progress.
Relief must come through sharper
activity on the part of the District
Building Department, and a report
from the District School House Com
mission, with the least possible de-
lay. Neither Congress nor the
community meets its obligations 70

1,5OO of them are consigned to
