AGED 400 YEARS.
Trinity House Celebrates Its Quadri-
centennial Anniversary.

London, May 2O.-The 4OOth year
of the foundation of Trinity house,
the world famous corporation of mas
ter mariners. chartered on May 20,
1914. by Henry VIII. was celebrated
today. At the time Of its chartering
the organization was described as
the guild or fraternity of the most
glorious and undividable trinity of St.
Clement It's founder was Sir
Thomas Spert. commander of the ia
nous battleship, Harry Grace de
Dieu. and comptroller Of the navy.
At first the guild was mainly con-
cerned with supplying pilots for the
ships entering and leaving Deptford
Royal dock yard, but Henry VIII. in
creased its prestige by handing over
to the corporation the entire direction
of that dock yard.
Queen Elizabeth entrusted the cor
poration with what constituted it's
chief modern duty by giving it au-
thority to erect beacons and other
marks for the guidance of navigators
around the English coasts. These
duties have been carried out by Trim
ity house ever since and it has always
led the world In the matter of coast
lighting.
The history Of Trinity house is the
story Of Sritain's rise to the COM
mand OF the seas. 1t was Trinity
house which by a bylaw in 1887
made a written agreement between
the master and crew Of a ship COM
pulsory.

DEATH RATE LARGER.
Returns for 1913 Show a Slight In.
crease Over Previous Year.

Washington. May 20.-The death
rate of the registration area Of the
United States in 1918 was III per
1000 estimated population, according
to a statement made public by Direc-
tor William ]. Harris, Of the bureau
of the census. department of com
merce. This statement was prepared
under the supervision Of DIR. Cressy l.
Wilbur, of the division of vital sta
tistics. This figure Of III as the
death rate for 1913 was based on $780,
S23 deaths returned from "a registra-
ton states, the District Of Columbia.
and Al cities in nonregistration states.
The total population included in the
registration areas reporting is $780,
1874, or 65.1 per cent of the estimated
population of the United States While
the figures are not complete for the
entire country, they serve as an index
to the general sanitary condition Of
the United States.
The death rate for 1918 (14.1 per
1,OC0) slightly exceeded that for 1912.
which was 1879. but was less than that
for 1911, which was 14.2. 1t also is
markedly lower than the average rate
for the Swear period 1sO1-19O5. which
was 1872. The decrease in the death
rate amounts to Is per cent, or to a
reduction of about 1 death in every
8, during the interval of 10 years.
