AND The BARBER WENT ON WITH HIS

Otero County News; 1t ID somewhat OF
an axiom that BARRIERS are great conyersa-
tionalists and that the regular 'tonsorlal
artist" usually throws a lot of natural
gas for good measure, and it sometimes
serves as an anesthetic. However, this
does not apply to Alamogordo BARRIERS,
for they are all very quiet and can hardly
be induced to converse while shaving a vic
tim. Sometimes they break over and one
did this week, so the story run A strang'
err was sitting in the chair of a local artist
and the latter proceeded to discourse upon
the Smith Bank case" and volunteered the
opinion that the defendant should be taken
out and hung, shot, or otherwise summarily
disposed of. 1T was quite apparent that the
mar in the chair took little interest in the
conversation, but the barber did not learn
until afterwards that he was shaving Mr..
Smith, the defendant, when he delivered his
personal opinion on the case.

Women Living Longer

AAtN AR 500 - tN%@E-@F
Here's a howdy do We are running into
an age OF old women and caliow youths
The old men will, under the present rate q
dropping of, disappear entirely in due course
Of time. But the women-old womeA-we
will have with us. t
All this isNdue to an exhaustive, searching
comprehensive investigation into Facts and
figures as made by the bureau OF census Of
the department Of commerce. SO its ON
cial, if not absolutely authentic and depend
able.
1t is time for the men to sit up and take
notice, If not out Of a pride in the boast OF
masculine longevity, then at least out OF
consideration for the coming generation OF
women. For experienced women, aged wom-
Ell, as a rule, don't like senseless youths OF
anywhere between 20 and 40 years old. And
that's the condition that is rapidly approach
ing. According to the new tables OF the
census bureau the women are living longer
than the men-that is, they are not dying
SO quickly. There is nothing to show that
they are living better; simply longer, The
male average expectation of life at birth is
oficially 1873 years; the female expectancy
lat birth 43.2. OF course that includes an
races, colors and occupations. The white
population of this country has another aver
age. White women average $50 years 70
one lifetime the disappearing males are
making only a record Of 50.2 years,
The first deduction from the above, In the
light OF all the reform talk of the age, would
be that man had better settle down a sim
pier form of existence. immediately upon
the report that the women are outliving the
men we nave visions of whitening frames
and disappearing flesh as the result OF wine,
cigarettes, cabarets, chorus girls, poker, pc
nuchle and late hours. The deduction Is en-
tireIy false. The statistics show that the
women get the edge on life in the early days
Of earthly s%ojourn. And they retain the
owing to the fact that foursfifths
of the annual violent deaths are among
males, and to the further fact that such
form about s per cent Of the total
deaths In infancy, the census bureau flg-
ures show, the females have a lower death
rate than the males for the first IL months.
There are two things left for mere man TO
do. One is to interest himself more thor
oughay in the various movements for say
ne the babies" the other is to play safety
in after years. He must keep out Of
accidents. He must get more attention dur

Citizenship Sunday

All the churches of the United States have
been asked TO observe July 2, 1916, as Citi-
gonship Sunday, On that day sermons deal
frg with citizenship will be preached in most
o the pulpits Of the country.
The establishment of Citizenship Sunday
Re q part of the significant and far-reaching
campaign of the bureau of naturalization to
.rFovide for the education in citizenship Of
the adult alien population of the United
States.
We have always had schools for our for
eign-bOrn childen, and there have never been
lacking people whose business it was to see
that the school were attended, but before
tlis year there has been no organized effort
70 nrovide adequate and inexpensive instruc-
zion in citizenship for the thousands of ali
ems who have needed and wanted it and who
hive been naturalized without it.
With the help of the judiciary, whose bust
ness it is to naturalize, and the public
schools, whose business it is to educate,
the Federal Bureau of Naturalization, which,
under the act of congress creating II, has
charge Of all matters concerning the natu-
rsligation Of aliens" has caused to be estab-
iished courses for the education in citizen
SLIP OF adult aliens in the schools of more
tFan $50 cities and town Of forty-five states
of the Union-and every day new places arc
being added to the list.

grow a manual in citizenship, for the use OF
alien applicants for that privilege, and a
defnite, permanent national policy With ret
card TO this new branch Of governmental
activity.
The bureau wants the assistance Of that
force that makes for Righteousness" Aci
o0rdingly. il laid It's plans before the heads
OF all the churches Of the United States and
asked for advice and suggestions.
The response was immediate and euthusl,
astic. An denominations agreed to help,
and, because that day immediately precedes
Independence Day, July ?, 1915, was chosen
as eur first Citizenship Sunday. North,
south, east and west. the clergy Of the Uni
ted States have agreed to preach sermons
on citizenship and to observe in this way
from year to year the Sunday preceding the
