COMMENT
Mstrlmony and Longevity.

The New York State department OF health,
through Cornell professor, has made some IN
vestigations relative to the mortality rates o.
married and unmarried men, with the result that
it has been established that benedicts live longer
than bachelors.
The compiler Of the statistics comes to the
conclusion that the lower mortality rate of mar
ried men is due to the supervision of their food.
lodgings hours and habits by their wives and
to greater incentive for sef-restraint and care
of health than the bachelor
All this may be conceded. But the figures
submitted show that the mortality rate of wild
overs and divorced men Is greater than that or
the married men or of the bachelors. Also the
death rate of single men at 70 is greater than
that of the married men of that age. This
would lead to the conclusion that divorce Is a
peril to health and life, which is new angle
from which to view the divorce problem. Fur
thermore, the contention of relatives that mar
rage on the part of septuagenarian Is I'M
ton Herald.

Every Fashion Has Its Day.


Mere men, substantial citizens of good inten-
tons, but still mere men, continue their hope
essly futile efforts in various parts OF this land
of the free and home Of the brave to regulate
womens dress Modest mayors and blushing
police officers have swept down upon the wearers
of slit skirts and subjected them to various
penalties and Inconvenience.
In most cities. however, the vigilant guar
dams of the peace and morals of the COM
munity have pursued the wise policy Of allowing
fashion to regulate its own follies which fashion
in it's most freakish moments has sagacious
way of doing.
1t is a little strange to remember that when
the first slit skirts were worn by two dress
makers models on the Longchamps race course
three or four years ago the wearers were mobhed
by jeering crowd of outraged Parislans. On
that occasion the designers of the gowns that
gave offense asserted that there was no intention
to reveal the stocking, but that accident had
resulted in tearing the lining under the slit
producing the censured condition. In this pres
ent heated summer there Is no pretense OF a
lining and the stocking-but there are things
tbs better not to dwell on.-Philadephia Press.

Law Puzzles.

The operation of the law is often mysterious
to the laymen.
Harry Thaw acquitted of the murder of
Stanford White the ground that he was
insane when the crime committed and that
he was not responsible for his act.
He was confined in the State asylum for the
criminal insane and late June 1912, he
denied writ of habeas corpus on the
ground that he still insane and not fit to
run at large
AS he could not gain his liberty otherwise,
Thaw took the law in his own hands and es
capped from the asylum
And now that Thaw has been captured in
Canada the New York authorities asking
for his return the score that he guilty
of bribery and conspiracy, while an inmate in
the asylum.
But II Thaw irresponsible when he
committed murder, how can he be held respon-
sble for the crime of bribery and conspiracy
which he Is alleged to have committed while
an inmate of the asylum?
And II he IL responsible for the crime, how
can he be returned to the asylum as insane
person?
OF course these queries are plain to those who
are trained in the law. but they puzzling
we repeat. to the laymen--Danve Bee.
