that it would serve in large measure
TO show the worse than inefficient ad-
ministration the navy was receiving
at the hands of Secretary Daniels.
Moreover, such an investigation intel

which prudent administration had

The October number of the All Alaska Review is now on sale and is apparently being received with great CT interest than any preceding num- Der. The beginning of the Richardson Wickersham controversy ought to be of immense interest. If Delegate Wickersham desires, the pages ot next months issue will be open ." him for an answer. There is pros pect at present that the story of the Valdez railroad appearing in this number will also be refuted by a prominent man who says the account is misleading. The Review wants the truth and all the truth for it's read CTS.

The Sex of the Insane.

Of approximately every five
hundred persons in the United
States in 1910, there was one in
an inmate of an insane asylum.
The exact figures expressed in a
recent report of the Census Bu-
reau, state that in a typical COM
munity Of 200, 900 persons,
equally divided as to sex, 2O8 of
the males and 200 of the females
would be found in the insane asy-
lum. In the course Of a year,
Y males and 60 females would
be admitted to the asylums. In
1880 the total number Of inmates
in insane asylums in the United
States included 20,635 males and
20,307 females. Thirty years
later the number of male inmates
had increased to $685., and the
number Of female inmates to
80,096. The excess Of men a.
mong admissions in 1910 indi-
Gated a still further increase in
the proportion, namely, 1913
males to 100 females. An analy-
sis of these admissions as to the
specific forms of insanity involv-
ed brings to light the interest
ing fact that if alcoholic psyche
sis and general paralysis are de-
Quoted, the proportion of the
sexes is practically the same. The
diseases mentioned, says The
Journal of the American Medical
Association, would seem to be
those which, generally, are the
result of dissipation. Alcohol
and syphilis again established
their superiority as mans most
dangerous allied foes.
