study OF original insurance statistics

nor contagious according to a paper
presented to the Association Of Life
Insurance Presidents here today by
President Arthur Hunter of the
Actuarial Society Of America.
After referring to the annual toll
OF eighty thousand deaths from can

said:
No sooner do we become interest
ed IN the vide prevalence OF a dis
esase like cancer. than we begin to
wonder whether 1t is contagious or
hereditary. Such questions must be
in the minds Of hundreds OF thous-
ands OF relatives OF persons who have

There seems little to support the
view that cancer is the result OF CON

for insurance were reviewed and It
was found that in 48S cases one only

stated to have died from cancer and
in four cases both parents were stated

were 122 times as many cases IN.
which one parent had died Of cancer
as of those In which both parents
had died Of that diesage. There could
hardly be a stronger test than the
case OF husband and wife
AS to heredity, Mr. Hunter said:
My first investigation consisted of
cases Of persons insured in six COM
panies both parents having died OF
cancer prior to date OF application for
insurance. OF 472 parents Of the In
sured, the cause Of death was given
In 234 cases OF which two were from

in 184 Of these as old age, tho aver
age age at death of which was 90

parents the cause OF death was not

neither the age nor the cause Of

to conclude that IL only two died OF

FIRST sheep Ten Years Ago.
The first importation OF Karakule
was made in 1905. although for ten
years previously I had been seeking
permission to import them When my
small and poorly selected herd was
brought TO the port of New York in
the spring OF 1898, they were kept in
quarantine in Athena, y. J., for
months and then removed to Texas.
Here they were bred together and
also crossed TO ShroDshires and other
fine wool breeds for ar that time we did
not know to what extent fine wool in
terfered with tight curl formation.
Some Of the progeny Of the Astrakan
producing type Of the first importa-
ton have been sold TO two persons in
Texas and one in Kansas. From these
animals no tight curled fur persian
lamb can be expected. although they

Only an Average Lot.
Owing to the fact that the first lot
was secured through a European Rus
sian agricultural society. which was
permitted to import sheep TO European
Russia from Bokhara whose officials
did not know the necessity OF securing
animals free from fine wool, only
fair average lot was secured Just one
of the rams proved TO be the sire of
the high priced Persian lambskins.
One or two OF the ewes we're also val
liable, but the remainder contained the
undesirable fine under wool and yielded
only Astrakan fur.
Tnbreeding will destroy all chances Of

tial to valuable lamb fur and hence

two importations becomes a necessity,
as the good lambs Of the first importa-
ton are the descendants Of one ram
only.
In October, 1912. after we had dis
covered that IL was the presence Of
fine. soft wool which was deteriorating
the quality of curls. 1 went to Russia
again for more. I attended the great
sheep convention at Moscow, and it was
my pleasure to be able to exhibit beau

skins that were produced by three

akuie-Lincoln and Karakule- Persian
Fatrump rams bred TO Lincoln and
Persian Fatrump ewes, free from fine
wool contamination. 1 was shown
similar skins produced in the same
manner in Russia from best Karakule
rams on Bessarabian Tshushkas and
other coarse wool breeds From this
il must be evident that IL is not neces-
sary to buy karakule rams at ruinous
prices TO produce S12 and SO skins. 1t
won't be many years when grade tight
curl producing rams viii be sold for
800 and less.
@Money In TT
When lambs can be reared for the
meat market for an average price of
$3.50 each at four months Of age, the
immense profits Of rearing three day
old lambs at $40 each is appreciable-
The profits are all the greater when
dead lambs, usually disposed Of as gar
bage. can be skinned for a profit OF
from s. TO SO each on an average.
Women should remember when they
pay several hundred dollars for Persian
lamb fur coat, they are not buying the
skins at S12 and $40, but are paying
twice and often three times more
Thus. If they want to secure a coat
for the right price, they should engage
in raising KarRkuie sheep. The price
Of Persian lamb skins has risen 800
percent in the past 20 years.
AS a further evidence Of the greater
profits of the raising of Karakule
sheep. I will say that on account OF
the much quicker growth Of the lambs.
they can be shipped to the market
much earlier. and hence command the
highest early spring lamb price. 1t

 LONDON. Dec. 19.-In presenting tie policy Of the government in the house of lords. Eari Curzon. who Is q member Of the new war council said:
 The policy of the new government k that the war must be conducted with the utmost prosecutions: that there must be an ample return fo, all sacrifices: that full reparation must be made by the enemy for his countless crimes. and security given that these crimes will not be repeated and that the sacrifices made shsil not have been in vain.
 "Thc governments aim is that ihe peace of Europe shall be rc-estab- lished on the basis of the free and in- dependent existence Vf nations. great and small and that as regards thi country. it shah bc free from the menace which tho triumph of Gcrmany and the German spirit would entail

 Alluding to fhc positlDn of Rumania Lord curzon said that Gcrmany's sue cess was by no means so great as she was trying to make out.
 Lord curzon spoke for an hour aIl twenty minutes and was followed by th. Marquis of crewe. lord professor of the council in the late government who approved in general terms the policy oulined by his successor. Lord Curzon, touching pence He said:
 We haven't much hope that Cor inaHy's peace offer- uill lead to any thing. The offer, however. seems an indication Of the strength of Inc pres- sure of our blockade. If peace were made on German terms. while the present age may not see war again. nobody can say that our children will nos witness another war with greater horrors. We must carry it on to the last man and the last shilling.
