Duration of Human Life.

The average duration of human life
is about thirty-three years. One-uuar-
ter Of the people Of the earth die be-
fore the age of six; one-half before the
age of sixteen, and only one of every
100 lives to the age of sixty-fve. The
average age, however, is slowly in
creasing, probably owing to better SAM
tary conditions, and greater medical
skill.

GARDEN PRIZES
Old High Cost Was Badly
Bumped By the Miner
Gardeners.

Judging of the gardens cultivated
by Consolidated Coal Company en-
ployees is little more than half COM
pleted and the employees who are
competing the contest are awaiting
the results with a great deal Of eager
ness,
The garden contest is being con.
Quoted this year very much as it was
last year. with this difference, that
more stress is being placed upon the
cultivation of vegetables than upon
the growing of flowers. The West
Virginia mining towns owned by the
company are divided into ten groups
for convenience in Judging and three
prizes are offered in each group for
the best gardens. In order to elm
mate the possibility Of unfairness or
prejudice in the judging, the work is
done in each district by superin-
tendent from another district,
In addition to the prizes which are
offered to the winners in the groups,
there is one prize Of fifty dollars Of
fered for the best garden in the state.
This prize is the one towards which
they all are striving and the honor is
no mean one, although the prize It.

first prizes offered in the group COM

Chiefton took the state prize last
year and this year she has gone after
it again with renewed vim and a de-
termination to hold the honor for an
other twelve months. Other towns,
however, are equally determined to
cop" the prize for themselves and the
rivalry this year is more intense and
more productive Of good than ever be-
fore.
Miss Marguerite Walker Jordon, of
the Employment Relationship depart
ment, has outlined number Of points
to be used in judging the gardens and
they are given as follows: 1. The

The quality of the vegetables pro-

SPECTACULAR FIRE
At JENKINS HOME
Rear Of Valuable East Side
Residence Destroyed
Early This Morning.

The fine three story frame resi-.
dence of Cletus H. jenkins on Pitts
burgh avenue, East side, caught fire
shortly after two o'clock this morning
and before the flames could be extin-
guished much damage was done. Dam
ages are estimated at least $4,000.
The cause Of the fire will perhaps al
ways be mystery, although it is the
opinion of many who visited the scent
that spontaneous combustion was re-
sponsible.
At the time OF the fire Mr.. and Mrs.
jenkins were on their way TO Atlantic
City on a pleasure trip. Mr.. jenkins
is president of the Central West Vir-
GINA Coal Operators Association and
together with D. R. Lawson, secretary
of the association, had been at Wash
:ngtOn attending meeting in that city
for the organization Of the Nationa!
Coal Operators Association. Last
night Mr.. and Mrs. Jenkins went to At
lantic City where they were planning
to spend several days.
A member of the family of ]. H. Kin
kade, of 500 Pittsburgh avenue, dis.
covered the blaze, 1t then appeared as
though it had started on the back porch
from pile Of rags, although this was
uncertain, as the fire had by this time
gained considerable Roadway and was
rapidly spreading to the upper parts Of
the building.
Immediately the East side fire de.
partment was summoned and within a
few minutes after the alarm was at
~ house extinguishing the fire. The
Central fire station was then inform
ed and Chief Watkins and crew Of
uremen rushed to the East side. By
this time the fire had reached the at.
tic and there was an eight.foot blaze
coming from the roof. With the aid Of
the fire apparatus from both depart.
ments It took just forty.five minutes
to get the blaze under control, this be.
ing from 1870 a. m. to 3:O5 o'clock.
The furniture In the home was re-
moved before much damage was done,
although some Of it was water soaked.
The chief damage was done to the back
part Of the house, completely destroy.
ing the back porch, three bed rooms
and the attic.
Painters were located at the home
yesterday and it Is the belief that a
combustion Of their materials might
have caused the fire.
