WOMEN BETTER
 RISKS THAN MEN

San Francisco, April 2.s-Accord- ing to the records of the life insur- aUce companies of tn, country, slender women are better risks than stout women and single women live longer than their married sisters "A woman who is 30 pounds under weight" said George II. Beaudry of a coast life jusurance company lis Is per cent better risk than a woman who is 30 pounds over weight Mortality among women who are 80 pounds under weight is onIy 94 per cent whereas among women overweight the mortality is 112 per cent,
 "The spinstcr's chances for long life are 30 per cent Detter than those Of her married sisters. Out of l49,o00 single womeu fnsuring mortality rate was only Sl per cent, while among the women insurjng with their husbands as beHeficiaries the percentage was 126 per cent The married woman has not an even chance with the married man, at least in the first few years ot married life. The. percentage among the men increase with age. For the first two years of insurance women have a high mortality rate, whether they be married or single, and this fact the companies attribute to B premouiuon which women are de- cIwed to possess. The insurance people call this instinct and they say women feel possibilities of death so keenly that often the companies lose during the first two years Of policy holding.
 Two per cent of all the policies the companies grant 10 suicide, and the figures relating 10 wOmeu's suicide throw an interesting light on the facts. Death from self-in- Utc-el causes among 5p.nsters to- taI only siX-teuths of ole Fer cent, while among married women the percentage is less than one-tenth higher The companies make a dis ,tucdou. however, among the mar rieI women. Between the happily married class, or women whose in
 umuca is drawn in favcr of their husbands. end the single women there is almost no difference.
 Tae women whose bcHeliciarie5 gre people ouler than -0etr hus- bands show one and onc-tcuth per cent. wn.l. amur the widows and divorced women the percentage from suicide climbs to IT."

 Patronage Trouble.
 The close vote for senator in-the pri- maries in Arkansas is attributed to the dissatisfaction over the distribution Of patronage in that state Senator Clarke is not responsible for all the patronage but nearly all the disap- pointed office seekers were against him Congressman Floyd of that state says that patronage has been a great detri- mcnt to men who are holding office. He attributed it tU tue fact that the Democrats have been out of office for sixteen years and that in that time many men have given their support to the party and worked hard and feel rhat they are entitled to rewards As u consequence. there are fifteen or twenty candidates for every office, and when an appointment is made the dis appointed men are almost sure to be antagouistic to the man who is re- spousibIe for the appointment
