ALCOHOL HAsTENs DEATH
According to Statistics of Fall River,

From an industrial standpoint, death
at less than old age means fixed and
definite loss; the worker has at each
age certain expectancy of life, vary
ing according to certain factors, but
still definitely calculable which makes
his death the loss of so much potential
industrial activity In bulletin No. PSI
entitled, "Preyentable Death in the
Cotton Manufacturing Industry" just
issued by the bureau of labor statistics
Of the { S. department Of labor, is
shown the real death hazard. by age
groups, for wage earners, especially for
those engaged in the several processes
of cotton cloth manufacture. and also
what factors have been especially ac-
tive in cutting Off the lives of wage
earners during age periods which are
nominally of greatest productive actiy-

In this report, which Is supplement
tary TO an earlier report upon the sub.

ard of the non mill operatives of the

elusive, and a study is made of the
death rates Of workers in the different
rooms within the cotton mill, i. e., the
card room, spinning room, spooler room
and weave room.
By a comparison OF death rates, by
sex, of the whole Fall River population
aged Is to A. il i shown that females
have appreciably the higher death haz-
ard. From tuberculosis their death
rate exceeds that of the males by IL

true of the population as whole, it is
untrue of that portion of it t6l per

mills, for among these three-lfths the
male death rate exceeds the female by

The total death hazard Of the native
born exceeds that of the foreign born

LEAVE GOVERNMENT SERVICE.
Because Of Poor Pay in the U. S. Geo
logical Survey

The fact that there have been II
designations from the scientific force
Of the United States geological survey,
department Of the interior, during the
last year III per cent Of the force
suggests inadequscy Of compensation,
and the percentage of designations in
the clerical and non scientific force was
even larger. This statement Of course
does not include separations to enter
military service.
The largest inroad upon the geologi.
cal survey efficiency comes from the
oil companies the final result Of the
pioneer work Of the federal biologists
in applying geological methods to the
search for oil and gas is that a large
proportion Of the leading oil biologists
the world over are United States geo
logical survey graduates Indeed, the
future decline in popularity Of the geo
logical survey as recruiting station
for oil-company personnel viii be due
simply to the fact that the expert
enced oil biologists who remain in the
government service are from personal
preference immune 10 outside offers.
The relation between government
salaries and outside salaries of geol.
ogists has been definitely determined
in a combination of the record of 20
biologists who left government serv-
ice after receiving an average salary
of S2,27l. The average initial salary
Of these men in private employ was So
l2l, and after about two years Of ag-
erage service this compensation aver.
aged 81 ,004 and eight Of these biologists
receive $4,000 or more. The disparity
is even greater il consideration is Civ
en- to the large financial returns from
investments made by the private geol-
ogists in connection with their pro.
fessional work, a privilege properly de-
MED by statute to the official geologist,
That the value Of these men as spe-
cialists and consulting biologists is far
greater to the country at large than
to private corporations is undeniable.
Furthermore, 1t Is important to note
that most Of these biologists had per
sisted to the limit of endurance with a
magnificent spirit based on their love
Of scientific research and their desire
to contribute to the sum of geologic
knowledge, Most of them have been
forced out of the service by sheer finan.
cial necessity. Unless adequate meas
ures are taken to ameliorate the situa-
alton, the geologic staff is destined to
suffer far greater deterioration of mo-
rale and depletion in its ablest, most
responsible, most experienced, and most
valuable members.
