1920 AND TIIIs ROCK.

(New York Evening Muil.)
They are making careful prepare
tion In New England to celebrate the
30Oth anniversary Of the landing of
the Pilgrims at Plymouth. The ten :
centenary Is five years and more away
but IN New England the people like
To take plenty of time 20 do a big
thing. And the tercentenary of Ply
mouth Rock is really big thing. The
Pilgrim people brought political idea
with them--the one that they turned
loose upon the world in the compact
drawn up In the cabin OF the May
fiower--which was fundamental 20
the future American republic. and
Plymouth Rock, though inert granite
--or is II pudding stone managed
TO wriggle around until II got under
the corner of the temple of American
liberty.
SO II is proper that the 300th an
niversary Of the rock should be eele-
brated; and II Is To be hoped that the
New England people viii make a
good Job of it, with 100000, 600 Ameri-
cans at their back. or course 1t does
not matter in the least that there is
not shadow of evidence that the
Pilgrims ever set foot ON Plymouth
Rock. That IL all assumption. But
the rock is there, and 1t ought to
have been used for the purpose, in
default Of a more convenient wharf.

ALCOHOL AND MORTALITY.

OFrom the address Of Arthur Hunt
er, actuaIy of the New York life In
surance company. 20 the Association
OF Life Insurance rrcsidents)
Nothing has been more eonclusitely
proved then that a steady use Of alco-
hnllc beverages, or occasional excess
Is detrimental 10 the individual. In
my mind, 1t has also been proved be-
yond perauvciiture Of doubt that total
abstinence from alcohol is Of value TO
humanity. il Is certain that abstainers
live longer than persons who use al
coholie beverages. The low mortality
among abstainers may not be due
solely from abstinence from alcohol,
but abstinence from tobacco, and to
a careful regard for ones physical
wellheing.
Among The men who admitted that
they had taken alcohol occasionally
20 excess IN the past, but whose habits
were considered satisfactory when
they were insured, there were 2S9
deaths. while there would have been
only 100 deaths had this group been
made up Of insured lives IN general
The extra mortality was, therefore
more than 60 per cent, which was
equivalent TO a reduction Of more than
four years in the average life of these
men. II this meant that four years
would be cut off the end of the aver
age normal lifetime of each man there
are many who would consider that
the game was worth the candle" but
II means that In each year a number
Of men will die at an earlier age than
they should. For example. at the age
OF 3s the expectation of life Is 32
years. In the first year after that age.
instead of, say, nine persons dying,
there would probably be twelve deaths
that is three men would each lose
80 years Of life. In the next year
probably four men would each lose
SO years of life. In the next year
probably four men would each lose
81 years of life, etc. AS matter o.
fact, many immoderate drinkers
would live longer .hsa. 90 wears hut
not nearly SO many as would live II

ROADS NEAR WARSAW
ALL CUT TO PIECES

/ Warsaw, Jan. 1.-THE state of the
roads for a distance of many miles
in front Of Warsaw Is such as to pre-
clude the movement Of heavy trans
ports or artillery except with the
greatest difficulty.
| The truck roads We're all ploughed
up and rendered useless during the
earlier German advance in this direc-
ton. Troops and wheeled traffic
thereafter had to move through the
fields by the roadside, but rains and
thaws soon rendered these unuseable
SO that soldiers and transport drivers
had to run still more to the side.
This process has continued until the
roads in many places now extend to
a breadth OF a quarter mile. The axle
deep marsh which lies to the left of
the newest track is Uttered with
abandoned trucks, automobiles and
refugee carts.
Although there is no fighting at
present nearer than thirty miles or
more from Warsaw, the distant rum
bic Of artillery fire can almost be
heard from suburban points. staff
officers estimate that over 1000 field
guns are In use on this front.

London, Jan, 20. ~ Private Harry
Jones. the well known Cardiff boxer
has returned home to recuperate from
wounds received In the battle on the
Meuse. where he underwent many ad-
ventures as member Of the South
Wales border regiment.
After passing unhurt through the
lretreat from Mons, in which his bat

broken last spring in his ring con-
/ test with BAL Roberts, was rebroken
by the recoil Of his rifle. This laid
him up for a few weeks, although he
lost no time getting back TO the front.
one of the Incidents of the retreat
was this. Jones was holding an Off

His most surprising adventure was

While fighting on the Mouse, Jones
got lost and fell into the hands of five
Germans. 1t CHANGED that all the five
had lived in London and spoke Eng
lish well, and one had an English wife
and seven children in England.
Jones ability to make himself en-
tertalnlng at least procured him good

watch on him until late that night,
but grew drowsy just as a thick fog
came on, which enabled Jones to

away a few yards. Running into the
French lines. Jones there CHANGED

his day who defeated Gunner NOR

Hearing from the French that two
German spies had been seen in a wood
nearby, the two veterans of the prize
ring started out after them. They
bagged the two spies and brought
them to camp.

THE LEGISLATURES.

News from Santa ro * that the

The belief is growing that quite a
number of the lawmakers OF both

II II said there Is fear that the
DELEGATIONS from the various coun-
ties would be ground between the

the compensation fixed for them.
The result Of II all Is likely to be
a sIraddle that Will not be just to the
majority Of the counties OF any classi-
iication, paying some Officers too
much and others too little for the
services rendered.
Upon one point, the majority seem
ITO be agreed THAT education is not
desirable IN the public schools of
New Mexico. 10 be sure there is talk
of making term of seven months

10 drink to excess. The mortality III
the second group was found to be
fully so per cent greater than IN the
first--an excellent argument for mod
erailon In the use Of alcoholic bever-
ages.
The foregoing result does not mean
that the large excess mortality In
Class u was due to their drinking a
little more each day than those In
Class A. II Is probable that among
those who were very moderate users
OF alcoholic beverages there were
comparatively few who eventually
used liquor immoderately; but among
those who took more than glass Of
whiskey or its equivalent a day there
were probably good number who in
creased their daily consumption after
having applied for insurance, and who
eventually drank 10 an immodefate
extent. Part OF the hazard from alco-
holic beverages lies in the user losing
the power 10 limit himself to a mod
crate consumption.
Among the men whose habits were
formerly imnoderate, but who had
reformed for at least two years prior
TO their acceptance by insurance com
panies, the extra mortality was fully
30 per cent---that is, their average
lifetime was reduced by about three
years. This excess mortality is purely
due to the effect OF previous immoder-
ate habits In undermining the system
and partly to a proportion of the per-
sons relapsing into their old habits,
