when man says he has lived hun
dred years. he merely means that 1t
seems like that long Or perhaps he
has simply grown short Of breath, and
so. when asked how old he is, re-
plies "A hundred, which is brief. in
stead Of "eighty-seyen," which is long
er. This IS especially true of French
genarians. When a Frenchman
has reached ninety-seven he has to
say: ''Four-score-seventeen,s whereas
Gent win come out much quicker.
Dr. Hutchinson's investigations show
that almost Invariably your centenari-
an Is TOO ignorant to know his age
or comes from place so remote that
nobody can verify the date of his
birth The doctor Gains that when
we hear It said that people don't live
