ADULT DEATH RATE TOO HIGH
Australian Commission, After lnvesti-

taIity in Middle Age.

The statement made in az recent
bulletin of the New York board OF

the expectation of life for a MAY of
forty was actually at least Year
shorter than it was ten years ago, re-
ceives confirmation from Australia in
the report of commission appointed
to inquire into the causes of death and
invalidity.
The Lancet (London) quotes this
commissions report as saying that the
principal risk of middle age is in high
blood tension. The principal causes of
this are found in overstrain and in
chronic poisoning of the blood by foods
and drinks, and from the bowels and
the throat.

David Lloyd-George Accepts a
Commission to Organize a
New British Cabinet.
BONAR LAW TO AID IN WORK
New Government Will Probably Meet
With Strong Opposition by As
quith and His Friends.

London, Dec. David Lloyd-George
has overthrown the -Asquith cabinet
and will become prime minister him.
self.
The new government will be coali-
ton, like the old one, but probably
without the same measure of harmo-
NOUS support which attended the for
nation of the first coalition cabinet
because its birth has created addition
al factional differences.
The King Called Conference
There was a prospect this afternoon
that the personal offices of the king
might solve the situation, and many
believed that the Asquith regime
might be continued. The king called
the party leaders to Buckingham Pal
ace and conferred with them for more
than an hour. Mr.. Asquith and Mr..
Lloyd-George of the liberals, Mr..
Bonar Law and Mr.. Balfour of the
Unionists and Mr.. Henderson of the
Labor party were with the sovereign.
1t is many years since a British ruler
assembled the representatives of the
different factions face to face when
they had shown themselves unable to
settle their differences. But no such
serious crisis has arisen before to re-
Quire such action by the king.
Whatever passed in council is held
secret, but the inference that the king
tried to arrange a reconciliation APP
pears a most natural one. The five
statesmen departed separately, four
in their motor cars and the working
mems spokesman afoot.
LIoyd-George Accepts.
Afterwards the king gave an audi
ence to Mr.. Bonar Law, who declined
to undertake the formation of a new
ministry, and then to Mr.. Lloyd
George, who accepted the responsible

BIDS FOR WARSHlPS OPENED
New Battle Cruisers Will Be Largest
and Swiftest in World-To
Cost $21 ,OOO, 900.

Washington, Dec. Bids for the
battle cruisers authorized at the last
session of Congress, and the first YES
sells of this type to be designed for
the American navy, were opened to-
day at the Navy Department. The
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock Company and the Cramps of
fered to build the battle cruisers at
cost plus 10 per cent for their profit.
The Union Iron Works of San Fran
cisco and the Fore River Shipbuilding
Company offered to build the ships
at cost plus Is per cent. None of
the companies made flat bids.
The ships will be the largest and
swiftest fighting craft ever built, so
far as American officials know. They
will have a maximum horsepower of
100000, which is expected to drive
them faster than thirty-five knots an
hour as against less than thirty knots
for the fastest European battle
cruisers now afloat. When fully load
ed they will displace more than 32,-
900 tons. Each will be $50 feet long

BONDS FOR KANSAS RoADs7
Treasurer Akers Urges That the Nee
essary Changes Be Made in the
State Constitution.

In his biennial report submitted to
the governor the other day, State
Treasurer Earl Akers urges change
in the constitution SO that the state
can issue bonds for the building of
permanent roads. In the meantime he
wants the various counties authorized
to issue bonds for road improvements.
1t takes about two years to change the
constitution The counties can go
ahead with the work while the people
are changing the organic law.
kansas needs roads real roads,
hard-surfaced roads-and can afford
them 1 hope your excellency will rec
ommend to the coming legislature
a real, progressive bodybuilding pro-
gram.
IF the laws are enacted making it
possible for counties or benefit dis
.tricts to vote bonds for road building
the way will be speedily provided for
great era of permanent road con-
struction. If effort alone is made to
better earth roads no great good will
come to us in the next biennium- A
start ought also to be made toward the
submission of a constitutional amend
ment providing for the state to engage
in road building. With such a pro-
vision the state would no doubt again
enter into debt, but it would be a
worthy debt and of benefit to all the
people,"
Treasurer Akers also intimates that
Kansas has been stingy with her de-
partments and institutions. Notwith-
standing this, he says the state is be-
hind with her bills. 'And this will be
the case" said he, $50 long as we con-
tinue in our attempts to do business
without budget system. 1t is impos-
sible for the legislature to act intelli-
gently upon appropriations without
such guidance, and quite too often it
acts unwisely with regard to the inter
ests of certain institutions of state.
The state tax rate is also too low, has
been made so for several years and
for no good reason.

PROFIT IN GROWING PECANs
State Forester Scott Advocates Plant
ing the Trees on Lands Sub
ject to Overflow.

That thousands of acres of Kansas
land subject to flooding and now agri-
culturally Improbable might be made
a source of revenue, through growing
pecan trees, is the opinion of c.. A.
Scott, Kansas state forester at the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
1.-The possibilities of pecan orchard
ing as an industry throughout the
southeastern section of the state are
excellent said Mr.. Scott. 1.-The land
along the water courses is well adapt
ed to the growth of pecans and re-
peated floodings in no way injure the
trees after they are few years of
age. If this land were utilized for
growing pecans, the loss caused by
floods in this section of the state
would be reduced to a minimum, and,
inasmuch as the flood season usually
is in early summer, there would
be no injury to the nut crop.
1.-The northern limit of the natural
growth of the pecan is the Marias des
Cygnes river and its tributaries, while
the western limit is the Walnut river
and it's tributaries. Under favorable
conditions pecan trees attain a large
size and produce large quantities of
nuts. Some of the largest trees are
fully three feet in diameter and IS
feet in height.
I'm years of heavy production, such
a tree produces from 600 to 500
| pounds of nuts. During the last Is
years the price paid for these nuts has
varied from to Is cents per pound"
