Furthermore, he will probably die a.
forty-three years Of age, but he carries
more life insurance than the composite
average citizen OF any other nation in
the world
All Of which and great many other
facts were told yesterday at the tenta
anniversary convention OF the Associa-
tion Of Life Insurance Presidents a.
the Hotel Aston. where executives rep
resenting about 80 per cent Of the ga
100000 old line insurance in force In
the United States gathered for a two-dsy
discussion Of business patriotism, eco
nomic preparedness and other nation
ally vital topics of the day more or less
directly related to life insurance.
The most frank Of all the speakers was
L. Z. Rittenhouse, Commissioner Of
Public Service and Conservation Of the
90 A. of y n
dissected Mr.. Composite Average Amer
can most sesrchingly in q paper on
"Thc Relationship of Life Insurance TO
National Physical Preparedness" He
came 90 the conclusion that the call for
national physical preparedness of the
individual is urgent; that the evidence
Of declining physical endurance Of the
American people emphasized the need
for immediate action.
Habits of People Changed
"A marvellous increase has occurred
he said, "in wealth, in time-saving and
labor-s saving devices which have radi-
caliy changed the living habits Of
vast number OF people. Physical eXer-
ton has materially declined, while the
per capita intake OF food has increased
much of il over-rich and injurious.
"A sudden demand for physical eXer-
ton finds the average individual easily
winded, weak and fabby muscled, joints
stifened by Gisuse; he is lacking in
both agility and endurance. The NOR
talty rate from wear and tear Of life
is abnormally gaining. The low-pow-
cred or sub-standard group of our pop.
ulation is apparently increasing. To
check this vital waste is an imperative
national duty
To facilitate matters, Mr.. Ritten-
house visualized The Physical Ameri-
can. And some of the things he said
about that individual were as follows:
ole is amazingly prosperous. In two
generations his wealth has increased
$40 per cent. He looks smooth, pink
and healthy. lie is & good liver. lie
hurries. He has no time 10 waste. The
age at death Of the American people
is about forty-three. His hair is aged
and he is getting bald. Nature asks
why hirsute protection is needed in
doors. His eyes have been strained by
close-focus and inside work. hence the

CORRIGAN WINS
S35, 900 VERDICT
IN SUIT FOR LIBEL
"Vindication What | Wanted, y
Says Magistrate Bobbs 'Mer'
riII Company to Appeal.

Magistrate Joseph Z. Corrigan won
verdict for $4,000 in the Supreme
Court yesterday in his 100000 libel
suit against tn Bobbs-Merrill Com
pany. The suit was based on certain
chapters Of the novel "God's Man,
written By George Bronson Howard, in
which tho author wrote csusticslly
about Justice Cornigan."
Magistrate Corrigan contended that
Howard intended his criticisms 20 sp-
ply TO him, and to prove the malice OF
the author brought into the trial the
fact that Howard once had been ar
raigned before him on a criminal
charge.
"Vindcation is what | really want
ed.y said Magistrate Corrigsn yester..
day. "and what have actually received
at the hands Of the jury. That is OF
more importance TO me than the size of
the verdict, whether it was 80 cents or
$4,000"
An appeal will be taken by the Bobbs-
Merrill Company.

Will Initiative and Referendum laws have an influence in interesting citizens 10 take greater interest in politics and depend more upon theIr own thinking and less upon political leaders? We think both of these questions should be answered yes
 Under present systems of making laws the average citizen takes little
 interest as he knows the sole power is vested in the legislature and that he must put up with what is done re gardless of whether he likes it or not, and the legislator takes the same view very often. knowing that he can find seemingly good excuses for un- filled campaign pledges
 But with initiative and referendum laws in force the humble citizens at home know that they have sure means of introducing legislation if their representative fails to do 90 and an equally sure means of pre-. venting obnoxious laws going into effect, therefore they take a keencr interest in studying the effect of pro, posed legislation. and have greater incentive To pay theiI poll tax know. ing that thoir votes will be counted where they will do good ou an m.- lia'No and referendum p.ugm i- re guir.a
