Gen. Rucker Beats Mortality Table

The action is declared a startling
innovation in insurance annals. Local
experts could not recall any previous
case OF such action, at 90 or any other
age. But when they looked up their
tables of logarithms and trigonometry
they were convinced that the ac-
ton was not only justifiable, but
logical
These tables showed conclusively
that out of 100000 individuals at the
promising age Of ten just three may
expect to round out 95 full cycles.
Those three in turn have no right at
that age to expect that Father Time
will dole out to them an average Of
more than six months apiece. More
than that would be overdraft, for hon.
oring which the guardian of the hour
glass and the scythe should be held
directly responsible.
According to these same mortality
tables life Is seen to be thing of uncer.
tainties. They prove unquestionably
that the longer you live the older
you are likely to be before you die.
That is to say, while the expectation
of life decreases as the age advances.
1t does not fall away nearly so fast as
that advance.
