In Europe kings and ministers have
shown such longevity that II has been

ed at the average of about 40, making
] the average under 62 for the cabinet
as reconstructed. This compares with
the average for the Canadian. cabinet
Eof 81. There. were only ten British
ministers under 80 and only three Ca

der 40. whereas there were two in the
British cabinet In the thirties.
| Although Mr.. Roosevelt was young
er than Mr.. Wilson, being the young
est of all presidents, his cabinet was
older, averaging 81. II Is odd that
when II Is so often remarked that SCI

statesmen are growing younger. In the
days Of "the Fathers" the age Of pres
ident was nearer go than 80. J. @.

first half dozen, and 56 being the aver
age for twenty elected presidents. This
does not include presidents succeeding
to the office from the vice presidency,
