IF ex-President Eliot, of Har-
ward, is correctly reported he
must have been in a more
than usually respondent vein when
he opened the International Con
gress of Social Hygiene at Buffalo.
1t may be that the reporters mis-
understood him; but they repre-
sent him as sounding note OF
warning over the deadly and de-
structive life which we all live in
the big cities According to the
reports, DR.. Eliot said that
THE progressive civilization OF
the last hundred years has worked
terribly against the health and per
petuity of the whole race; and
that such cities as Paris, London,
Berlin, New York and Chicago bear
witness to the fact that modern
civilization is all the time prepar-
ing and promoting its own destruc-
ton"
Precisely the contrary is true.
We are adding to the healthful-
ness of great cities every year. We
are successfully battling with al
most every one Of the more dan
gerous diseases. And each sue
cessive generation sees an enor-
nous span added on to the aver
age duration of human life.
IN the latest edition of the En-
cyclopedia Britannica, an Eng
lishman of science, in an article
upon Longevity" speaks with
great positiveness and in a sense
diametrically opposed to DR.. Eliot,
He says:
There seems to he almost no
doubt but that the average dura-
lion OF life has increased with civ
ilization; the generally improved
conditions Of life, the greater care
of the young and OF the aged, and
the advance in medical and surgi-
cal science far more than outweigh
any depressing effect caused by the
more strenuous and nervous ac-
tivity required by modern social
organization. The expectation Of
life OF those who attain the age Of
sixty varies with race, sex and Oc-
cupation, but is certainly increas-
ing, and an increasing number of
persons have a chance of reaching
and do reach ages between ninety
and a hundred"
The decline of the death rate in
practically every civilized country
on the globe during the last fifty
years is one of the outstanding
facts of experience. It varies from
Is per cent in Russia to % per
cent in England and 80 per cent
in Holland. The expectation of
life" has, to be sure, proportionate-
ly increased, SO that at birth the
human being has an expectation"
of As years of life-and that is
more than at any period of the
worlds history which has pre-
served statistics. The "expecta,
ton Of life" agreed upon by the
great life insurance companies Of
this country is necessarily worked
out on a lower scale-else there
would be no profits. Yet accord

noon the pennant will be hoisted aloft to
it's towering summit. Between the first
and second struggles of the double bill.
the trophy will be ushered to the pennant
pole by the Barons and the Crackers and
then raised to its lofty pinnacle.
Encouraged by n favorable forecast of
the weather, everT indication points to a

en- masse as the tickets in the ladies' book
will be honored at the gates, while the at
tractiveness of a double bill in connection
with the festive occasion should gather
many other thousands
The inclemcncy of the elements was a
great disappointment to President w. NJ
Kavanaugh, who iourneyed from Little
present the trophy to the victorious
Barons of 1912. Last night he was forced
to return to Little Rock, while the deega-

GULLS TRIUMPH IN
OVERTIME STRUGGLE

Mobile June 9.-Moble took the first
of the series from Memphis this after
noon in a spirited 12-inning battle, an err
ror by Butler giving the locals the win
ming run in the twelfth. The score was
3 to 2. Mobile scored in the fourth with
out hit, fast work on the bases ac-
counting for the run. Memphis tied 1t
in the eighth ON hits, and then went
one to the good in the eleventh.
In Mobiles half of the same inning the
locals tied the score again on walk,
n sacrifice and Paulets two-base hit.
Mobile won in the twelfth on Stocks hit,
sacrifice, infield out and Buffers error
on Clarkes grounder. Hogg was hit hard
but Mobile fielded sensationally behind
him, brilliant catches saving him de-
feat several times. Parsons pitched fine
ball, but was wild and this with errors
beat him. Score:
