costly, indirect way; there is no escap- ing this alternative"
 This was an appeal to the civic im- agination of Boston's 67O,O00 inhabitants. and they responded Business organ nations, labor organizations, charities, churches and womens clubs took fire with the idea, formally sponsored by . committee of the City club.
 In six months Filene had seized the unorganzed purpose of the town and turned it into an organized campaign for prosperity, civic development and social regeneration. To make the goal tangible he proposed time limit. Boston will give an exposition in 1915 to mark the completion of her first reforms.
 This exposition will not be a dream- land of stucco and electric lights reared overnight outside the city, but (and here it is unique) it will be display of Boston itself-of Boston's government and finances; of the streets and parks and schools; Of public buildings and civic centers; Of shops and factories and stores of their construction, equipment and operation, of the housing and general living conditions of the people; Of in- stitutions for the help of the sick, the injured and the unfortunate; of every factor in the life of a. great city. And this display Is to be one of the actual things, just as they exist and are used in the communitys daily. life, It's yisltorn being taken from exhibit to exhibit m automobiles or in street cars Wnicn ID themselves shall be an exhibit of the best achievement in their own ways.

REAL NOVELTY IN
 CITY GOVERNMENT

Boston has evolved a new idea-muni- cipal efficiency. The Boston idea is creative. The object of the truly eff cient government is not to be efficient itself, like a smoothly running machine, so much as to make it's citizens efficient, by creating conditions under which they shall be able to lead lives of the maxi mum effectiveness The city which con- ceives its responsibilities in that light will be able to pay bigger dividends in men and money and happiness, and com pete successfully with other cities, says writer in Hamptons for April.
 This idea is practical in its purpose. and an important movement-the "Bos- ton-19l5 movement-is already on foot to put it into effect. Citizens and organiza- tions of all sorts are working together to this end, and novel exposition has Teen planned for the year 1915, in which the Improved and reorganized city it. self will form the exhibit

perience in conducting a large business on new lines. Edward A Filene was born the son of poor Polish immigrant h. heriting a small retail business, he built it up into a great department store by knowing how to capitalize the energies of other men. In his store and in his public activities he makes other people do the work-and they profit by it.
 The executive and administrative work of his store he has turned over in large measure to his employees, and 1t is to- day a strikingly interesting and success ful experiment in industrial democracy.
 Every employee, from the cash boy and ribbon counter girl up, has an oppor- tunity to share in the profits of the business.
 When Filene launched the Boston 1915' movement, in 1909, he was only ap- plying to that field the principle of great CT human efficiency through democracy and education that he had found sue cessful in his own business.
 Boston was to be made to pay bigger dividends, not by attracting immigrants and industries, as in other boom move ments, but by making it a model indus trial city, where .'it shall be possible for willing worker, earning an aver age wage, to live, himself and his fam fly, healthfully and comfortably, to bring up his children in good surroundings: to educate them so that they may be truly useful, good citizens; and to lay aside enough to provide for himself and his wife in their old age A city which provides less than that directly mus make up for the deficiency in more

It WAS Sir James Crchton Browne Who said, Every man Is entitled to his century" Supposng this 10 be correct, records of vital statistics show that very few men and women enjoy the span of life they are entitled to. Why this is so and why the span of life is gradually lengthening is interestingly set forth in an article prepared by pr. A. II. Stew art of Lawton, Okla, for the medical board as follows:
 Prof Fisher of Yale University in recent address at New York said: Tt has long been known that there is no iron law of mortality but that mortality depends upon the hygiene state of the community. Rains, in a recent paper ill the Journal of the Royal Statistical So- cietv has calculated that the average duration of life in India is only twen- ty-three years for males and twenty four years for females, or less than one half the life space Of the advanced coun- tries of Europe. The estimates of Fin kelburg show that in Europe human life has probably doubled in the last three hundred and fifty years. More recent and more reliable figures show that life is lengthening more rapidly today than ever.
 If we take life for different periods for England France, Prussia, Denmark, Sweden and Massachusettes, we find that human life heightened during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries at the rate of four years per century; that during the first three-quarters of the eighteenth century it increased at the rate of nine years per century that at present it is lengthening in Europe generally at the rate of seventeen years per century," For this country the rate perhaps the home of preventive medi- cine) at the rate of twentyseven years per century. Forthis country the rate can only be judged by the statistics of Massachusetts, which show that life is lengthening by about fourteen years per century .or approximately one-half the Prussiad rate. If the achievements in preventive medicine and sanitary science increase in the future as they have in the recent past the present average du- ration of life of about thirtyfour years in this and most European countries ought to be materially heightened before the end of the present century.
 An eminent American physician said recently that the cause of nearly all the

SEEKS DYNAMITE SUBSTITUTE
Explosives Commission Hears Testi-
monY from Several Experts.

The Explosives Commission. with Charles
Maywold in the chair. set out yesterday to
learn whether or not there was any manu-
factured explosive which is as powerful as
and less dangerous than dynamite. An ex-
pert from a Pottsville. Penn, concern told
OF an explosive which his firm made that
could be set off without the use Of a
double cap and which he said was equal
20 40 per cent Of dynamite. Fire or shock,
he declared had no effect on It.
Other experts who were there came 10
the rescue OF dynamite. They said that
more care was needed in thawing out nitro
glycerine. ". F. Jordan. an engineer for
the New York Central Railroad. said that
after experimenting widely his company
found that dynamite was meant TO explode
and that substitutes Of all kinds were in
ferior agents for that purpose. He agreed
that thawing was the cause of most of the
trouble arising from the use Of nitro
gycerine. He described for the commits
sion the hot water plants which the New
York Central Railroad operated for thaw-
ing explosives.
