Waste Of Death Is Greatly Lessened

is like stopping the waste Of life In a
great war. 1t is equivalent to ward
ing off death $3.50 times every month,
1857 every week, 241 times day.
1t averts ten deaths every hour. one
every six minutes day and night,
from one years end to the next.
If the economic value of the lives
saved by lowering the death rate ia
the United States-the results of bet
ter and more careful living lis placed
at no more than an average of $1,000
apiece, the effect Of cutting down the
mortality $1,000 In year is much
the same as preventing the waste Of
$81, 100000 dealing with this great
economy in human life on the hardest
and narrowest industrial and COM
mercial basis.
The gradual change for the better
in respect to saving life and warding
off death is not confined to the United
States. 1t is going on in other coun-
tries. also Throughout the civilized
world, there is a general change for
the better i'm the conditions OF liv-
ing and in the chances for life itself.
The conservation Of human life is one
of the great interests and one Of the
best signs of the times.

I Asst year the death rate in the

lowest ever known. 1t certainly was
less than the mortality of any other

spe ial Michelin prize of 100000 for
a no-stop flight from Paris to Cler-

many respects thu flight Is consid-
cred far more dihlcult than previous
aeroplane feats. not merely because
OF the passenger and no-stop stipu-
lations, but because the flight must
end on the summit of the Peyde

where the strong and erratic air cur

The report also said that Lloyd
