what, on superficial view, could be
more utterly dissimilar than red
light and the means OF livelihood
adopted by certain members Of the
submerged tenth?' Even the sugges-
ton is bold, fragrant and shocking. 1t
bIazons the unpleasant, ruthlessly
dragging before us the existence OF a
condition in society on which a moral
stigma has been placed. The moral
repugnance here entailed is patent
enough. We, therefore, use instead
a symbol which in its remoteness is
quite harmless.
What could offer less outrage to
our sensibilities than the concept
red light? What could be more free
from any immoral connotation? And
so, when the church, society or the
press wishes to speak of evil resorts.
it has recourse to this disguised and
innocuous metaphor OF the red light.

with the concept for which 1T stands
by reason OF that organic correlation
of which we have spoken? If we will
look into the history of the social
consciousness as expressed in the
different spheres Of symbolism, in
folklore, religion. literature and

years of age was A years for males
and 46 for females"
DR.. de Haviland Hall. an English
authority on arterio-sclerosis and its
relation to life insurance, is quoted
as saying:
Though the average duration OF
life has increased during the last so
years, there has been all actual in
crease in the mortality rate among
males between the years of 45 and
65, and one-third the total deaths be-
tween the ages of SIS and 65 are due
to diseases of the heart and blood
vessels.
But why should more women live
TO old age than men? In average
viiility stature, weight and physical
power they are inferior to men. We
should naturally expect the life en-.
durance of the male to surpass or at
least to equal that of the female.
Has nature endowed woman with a
higher vital resistance to fit her to
be the nourishlng mother of the
race? If this be true, we must no
.onger refer to her as the weaker
SEX"
DR.. Burr says that this apparent
strength of woman. which appears
only during the later years of life,
is due simply to the fact that she
does not poison herself as man does.

XVToMEN live longer than men,
w according to DR.. Albert II.
Burr of Chicago, who refers
to vital statistics compiled from re.
ports of the 1910 federal census, &C.
cording to which there were under
years of age 1000 females to 1915
males. This ratio in favor OF the
males steadily increases for each
succeeding fve-year group, with only
two slight exceptions, up to so years,
when 1t reaches a maximum in the
age-Group so to 81 inclusive, showing
ratio Of 1000 females to 1888 males.
From this highwater mark in the pre-
ponderance of males the tide begins
TO ebb until at the age OF 20 the ma
3ority is reversed in the ratio OF 1893
females to 1000 males. and at 100
years there were 1875 females to
1000 males. In the state of Massa.
chusetts in 1897 there were IS cen.
tenarians, 30 of whom were women.
In this connection Dr.. Burr says:
I'VE should bear in mind that in
1910 there were 1852, 2SS more males
than females in our population; SO
that, other things being equal, mals
centenarians should far outnumber
female centenarians. How shall we
account for the fact that more fe.
males than males reach 30 years and
that they make the century.run in an
accelerated ratio?
