MOST AMERICANS
BALD AT 43?
Doleful Portrait of Physical
Decrepitude of Average
Citizen

New York. Feb. 12.-Life insurance
officials, says the World" are accus-
toned to view with alarm the physi-
cal condition of Americans. 1t is
their trade, and they are exceeding
apt at it. But not often do they
paint so doleful a portrait of physical
decrepitude as is contained in L. e.
Rittenhouse's diagnosis of the aver
age citizen, or per capita person"
This is typical American, it seems, is
bald at 4S from trying to crowd the
experiences of two lifetimes into one.
Muscularly weak and stiff jointed, be-
cause he never walks when he can
ride; the health of his teeth and gums
is impaired from eating too much
soft food; his digestive organs are
showing signs of rebellion, and "he is
seriously overstraining his heart, art
cries, kidneys, nerves and digestion" ="
doddering and prematurely old
young man, sans teeth, sans taste,
sans everything at the very time of
life when he should be in his prime.
1t is pathetic picture. But where
do the insurance men find the orig
inal? 1t is to be feared that their
typical American their per capita
person, is an insurance type only-an
actuarial and not an actual man.
There are, of course, men of whom
this is a correct diagnosis. They exist
III 4NSW OEh anu OIner large cities
and they are paying the penalty of O
life of self-indulgence, a life of equal
excess in the pursuit of money and OF
pleasure. Even they are finding in
sgolf and in motoring a partial anti
dote for the processes of decay. But
how negligible is their number by
comparison with the tens of millions
of workers in industry and agricul.
ture, the vast armies of toilers who
mako the nnnlllafinn nf ha IDf !
States, and who more truly deserve
to be considered average Americans
They, at least, are manifesting nc
conspicuous signs of physical deca.
dence. There is a general impression
indeed, that their relatively GOOD
health and length of life is what en-.
ables the insurance companies tc
show such marked prosperity.
But an insurance company which
did not hold the mirror up to physical
decay would be untrue to its tradi.
tions. Yet 1t is hardly necessary to sci
up a bogy man of disease and de.
crepitude a type of American citi.
zen.

Pay Envelopes linked; No
More "Hold- Out" on Wives

Pittsburgh, Feb. 10. - The pay
master of the Carnegie Steel Com
pany, on complaint of hundreds of
Homestead wives, have taken the joy
out of life for many of the companys
employees by marking with ink on
their pay envelopes the amount con-
tanned therein, instead of using lead
pencil as heretofore.
The wives of many employees as
serted that their husbands were hold
ing out on them" Only one way to
prevent this appeared open to the
Carnegie paymaster - to use ink in
stead of the easily erased pencil
marks.

NEW MINIMUM
AUTO LICENSES
Twelve Dollars Is Now Being
Talked of Among Some
of the Legislators

Suggestions for a new minimum
automobile license of $12; State tax
of one mill on the dollar value of real
estate for. road improvement and
maintenance; increase of public
utility taxation; removal of exemp-
ton of manufacturing capital from
taxation and taxation of sleeping car
companies are among those heard
about the Capitol as means to afford
for schools and road appropriations.
The Governor has expressed himself
in favor of more money for schools
and O higher appropriation for roads.
The propositions are being discussed
In advance of the meetings of the new
joint committee on revenue, which
was provided by a resolution intro
duced into the House by Speaker
Baldwin and which will go to the
Senate tonight. This committee will
discuss the suggestions and decide
what to recommend.
There will also be some suggestions
for q new coal tax to cover all kinds
of coal. but it, like some of the other
suggestions, may not get very far. The
proposed fishermen's license and the
State wagon tax will also be submit
ted to this joint committee.
Chairman woodward estimated to-
night that the new minimum license
of S12 would add $75O,000 to tie State
revenues. The present minimum is
now IS. The State wagon tax would
bring much opposition from farmers.
1t is interesting to note that al
though much revenue raising legisla-
ton is being discussed there are few
advocates of any special measure.
There is an undercurrent among the
legislators that it would be better to
cut down some of the appropriations
and trim charities and other objects
than to lay new taxes. s..

Steps To Save
Food Fish Made
BY VIOLET ATHERToN.

+. The annual meeting Of the Hawaiian
Fisheries, Ltd, Is being held this after
noon. According to Mr.. A F. Cooke.
the prospective reports look very en-
couraging. Among the topics to come
up at this meeting are two items Of
general interest. There Is an effort
being made to put a closed season on
other varieties Of fish aside from the
mullet, such as squids, Holsters and
turtles, for these varieties are be-
coming scarcer every year. Efforts
also are being made for harbor and
wharf space for the feet Of sampans
which are shifted about from place to
place. This makes 1t hard for the
feet to get their water. ice and other
supplies.
There are 121 sail and power sam
pans that make. daily and weekly
trips. Most of them catching by hook
the deep-sea fish.
Just now is the closed season for
the mullet, and the fish in the market
are all deep-sea fish. There have been
many very unusual catches this year.
1t may not be generally known that
the three Of the markets sell at auc.
ton about $250,00o worth of fish every
year.
