Theory of IN English Socialist Seem"
ing1y Endorsed by Figures.
G. C. Hill, an English Psychologist
]nounc that It is automatically a
mistake to suppose that human life IS
lengthening. He thinks that in the
British islands at least it can be
proved fundamentally that everything
done to prevent sickly children from
dying soon, cuts down the length OF
the average lifetime after 40. Writ
ing in the Sociological Review he
| shows that in thirty years from 1870.
the death rate among male infants
under ) years, was cut down from Is
| to IS in the thousand. The rate was
| cut down in one degree or another so
hat there were fewer deaths at all
ages under So. At So there was al
most no change in thirty years. AT
from 45 to So he shows the British
death rate going up from 1916 to POS
in the thousand. Between 55 and Is
years it rose from 1873 to $50.
His argument agrees with that OF
a considerable school OF Psychologists"
h agree with the sociology Of the
| American Indians. By putting their
| babies in the cold water of the nearest
stream, the Indians learned easily
which were too weak to make a sue
cess in life as fighters and hunters
On the other hand, the biographies OF
men who have done most to civilize
the world by great discoveries and in
ventions show hat as children they
were often so weak that they were
kept alive only by the greatest and
most loving pains.
Others who have minds as mathe
NAUTICAL as that of Mr.. Hill are now
working out calculations showing that
as the people of Europe get more to
! eat from the United States and South
America they are growing taller and
living longer for the same reason that
natives of Missouri, Kansas and Texas
measure half a foot taller than natives
of Japan and China. Until a genera
tion ago, sociologists of the highest
Chinese education took the view taken
now by Mr.. Hill in England. They
applied it chiefly against girl babies.
It was a Chinese sociological custom
to leave the understood, superfuous
girl exposed in the open air to starve
to death.

Michael Ryan, president Of the

During the fourth annual convention
Of the meat packers at Chicago a COM
mittee reported to the effect that
prices, which are now higher than ever
before, will never go lower, and prob
ably must go still higher. This, 1t was
said, was due to the rising cattle mar

no power to Danish or even to allay

With several bodies lying In the
own hall and heaps Of dead discov-
cred in the workings of the st. Paul
mines at Cherry, and with hundreds
Of overweight relatives waiting near
the mouth OF the pit for more bodies
to be brought up, the little OWL was
in a state OF feverish excitement Fri
day.
Early in the day three bodies, those
Of two men and n boy, were brought
to the surface. -Four others were
dragged from the debris of the sec
ond gallery and taken in each Of the
cage, but were allowed to remain there
for some time. Fifty or se~venty-fve
other bodies beyond reach for the time
being because of the fire were seen
by the fire fighters among smoldering
timbers and mud, mingled with those
OF mules.
AL night dozens OF fremen and
mine experts had worked in the main
shaft with successful results. The
flames, after raging six days, were
practically subdued, the heat in the
shaft was reduced materially and the
big fan was driving fresh air into the
workings. Chicago firemen and a
group of miners penetrated the dismal
depths of the galleries in the night,
and for two hours and a half fought
the smoldering fire in the coal veins
without trouble. At 6 a. m. a second

gases or smoke.
The heart-wrenching prospect for the
day became apparent when fremen I'M
rolled a great strip of canvas on the
prairie beyond the main shaft. Here
the three bodies which were the first
to be brought out were laid. Grief
stricken men, women and children
formed a great circle about them and
sought to identify the dead as their
own, but the condition of the bodies
made this difficult.
The ambulance, bearing the bodies
and guarded by militiamen, was fol-
lowed by crowds to the town hall,

bodies lay a. the opening of the first
seam of the mine. Between fifty and
seventy-five bodies were piled nea
the shaft in the middle vein, where it
was evident the panic-stricken men
had tried to climb the shaft in a fran
tic effort to escape death.
Rumors Of discord between mine OPP
orators and miners spread and $50
miners in the Marquette mine, about
eleven miles distant. struck. Hundreds
of others threatened to walk out. The
attitude Of the miners OF the whole
section is the expression of their feel
