THE marked lower mortality Of the

greater protection from life hazards. by
greater moderation. restraint and per-
laps greater adap,ability 10 the increas-
ing effeminizing conditions OF modern
life, woman is the healthier animal and
as fittest Is surviving to a greater extent

DR., Wilbur has computed death rates
by sex IN New York and other States
and In cities OF 100 900 and over. and
he said that h" agreed that "a falling
death rate Is found among men below

he meant by the term degenerate sons"

that what he really intended TO tell
the commission was that the Pennsyl-

former soldiers and the incompetent and
inefficient sons of middle class families
who Were glad to have their worthless
boys employed In any service that would
accept them.
