HEALTH STANDARDS IMPROVED
Bulletin Shows Printers Live Longer
Under New Conditions.

How health standards OF the print
ing trade are improving are shown in
a bulletin Just issued by the bureau of
labor statistics after Investigations
made in 100 printing plants located in
seven of the largest cities Of the
country.
The experience Of the International
typographical Union is noted. From
1900 to 1915 the average age OF mem
hers at death increased from 41.25 to
50.s4. The number OF deaths due to
all causes in the ffve-year period, 1893
to 1897, was 2.061, and IN the three-year
period. 1919 to 1915. the number was
identically the same: but in the earlier
period 66S per cent were below forty
FIVE years of age, while in the later
period 3S.9 per cent were below forty
five The per cent of deaths due to
tuberculosis decreased from 31.2 in
1900 to 1871 in 1915.
The following measures for the pre-
yention OF occupational diseases among
printers are recommended in the re-
port: Ample ventilation in all sorts of
weather: electric heating of lead pots
Or exhaust ventilation to carry off gas
fumes: scrupulous cleanliness OF the
premises; no dry sweeping or dry dust
ing or blowing out of type cases, or
dry cleaning of casting machines and
plungers: proper lighting; separation
of processes which produce lead dust
or fumes from other processes: pre-
yention of excessive heat, especially
moist heat, ample washing facilities;
no excessive speeding up or excessive
ly long hours, and prohibition of boys
work in processes involving exposure
to lead dust or fumes.

CASTLE SENT TO NORFOLK.
U. S. Army Steamer to Tow Coal to
Dredge Dalecarlia.

To take lighter Of coal from Nor
folk to the United States Army dredge
DaIecarlia. At work on the Rappahan-
mock river. the United States Army
engineer service steamer Castle has
left this city. The Dslecarlia was
sent from tn Eastern branch for work
on tributaries of the York river sew
eral weeks ago. and from there she
was taken to the Rappahannock and
is now deepening shoal spots in that
waterway few miles below Fred
ericksburg.
on completion OF this work the Dale
carIia will be brought back to this city
and will. it is stated. resume work on
the Eastern branch improvements. The
steamer Castle will return to this port
early in the coming week to prepare
for an inspection cruise over the Po-
tomac river and the portion of Chesa-
peake bay under the control of the

HEARST PLEADS ILLNESS.
Gives Reason for Refusing to Run
for Mayor of New York.

NEW YORK, September Wv. r.
Hearst's refusal to be candidate for
mayor, announced yesterday, was ac-
companied by a statement in which he
said he had been i'll for some weeks
and had been unable to take an active
part in either politics or business.
Il am still incapacitated," wrote Mr..
Hearst. but this is not my chief reason
for withdrawing my name from the
primaries l have run heretofore to aid
in the accomplishment of some great
reform. the establishment of some vital
principle, and when there was no one
else ready and willing to lead the fight.
In this instance there is n vital prin-
ciple at stake, TO be sure, the principle
of whether the city government shall
be in the control of private privilege
seeking interests or whether 1t shall be
at the service of the public who elect it.
and pay it, and have every right to its
undivided loyalty. But the committee
of one hundred an seventy have select
ed Judge Hylan to lead the fight for
this essential American principle of
popular rights and popular govern
ment and j see no reason whatever to
question the wisdom Of their selection
