SPAN OF HUMAN LIFE
MAYREACH 15O YEARS
SCIENCE AND TRUTH WORK
ING TOGETHER MAY FIX
THAT LIMIT.

NEW YORK. May when tu-
berculosis and other preventable
causes OF excessive mortality are
mastered, when those less than fifty
tell the truth about their youth and
those more than eighty do the same
about their age, it may be possible
for actuaries to figure on $50 years
as the span of human life. The Ma
tional death rate has largely de-
creased, but the decrease is almost
entirely confined to the infantile
period.
Over so years old, the decrease has
been but small or an actual increase
has been shown by statistics. From
1889 to 1901, there was decrease Of
seven in each 1000 Of population in
the total number Of deaths but the
rate Of deaths from heart disease
cancer, certain functional ailments
and suicide is so per cent higher in
the United States than the mortality
m the same causes fifty years ago.
These and many other interesting
facts about the duration of human
Iife were presented by John K. Gore
Of Newark N. J., the president OF
the Actuaries Society Of America, at
the Twentieth annual meeting Of the
association in the Metropolitan
Building.

risey of Newark. N, J., famous as i
contender in amateur long distance
races in which he has won many
laurels turned out professional last
night and was accepted as an added
figure in the International Marathon

$4,000 in prizes prompted him to

DANNlLLE, ILL.,, May While

Father Serippo Of the Westyille Ro,

by three men armed with shotguns.
The walls were riddled with shot
from five charges and the glass door

cents per mile auto fare Just be-
cause we have no railroads to

1t Is probably largely due 30 the
fact that the laws of Texas are

WHAT WIFE SAYS ~eoEs.-
But 1t Sometimes Is Bad for the
Painting.

When a propcrty-owner knows moth
ing about paint it is bad for the
property-owner, and bad for the paint
er. 1t would not be so if the property
owner would always hire a skilled
painter, and then really leave every
thing to him. But the HORSEPOWER so
often fools himself on one or the other
of these things.
The skilled painter in every commu-
nifty has some of the most incompetent
competitors that ever vexed consci-
entious workman or contractor, and
the incompetents get jobs generally by
working cheap. In the next place,
when the skilled painter is hired, they
do not leave everything to him, as so
many property-owners boast they do.
They interfere most ignorantly and
most fatally. They insist sometimes
on using paint materials without in
vestigating whether they are good or
not. Or perhaps they insist on the
painters huIrying the work.
I'm not going to have that painters
mess around my house month"; the
wife says, and what wife says goes
at the cost of a lot of wasted painting
money.
