"T1IGH LIVING" MOTIFS COST,
BRINGS DEATH TO INSURED
Mutual Life Report Shows Luxury and the Lac OF Outdoor
Exercise Mean High Death Rate Among
Rich Persons

High living is held responsible for
death rate among holders of large in :
surance policies in excess Of the norma !
in report covering the experience OF
the Mutual life of New York. The
company has issued circular advising
it's agents that the mortality rate among
men holding policies calling for more
than $50 900 was 112.G1O Of the eX :
pected. according to the records kept
by the actuaries of the company.
This is moro significant because the
actual mortality is on the average
about 20 points lower than the expected.
Many of the big insurance companies
experience only Is per cent of the ex-
pected mortality. This figure covers all
ages and gives the average for a year
Other companies run from so to w per
cent of the expected. but 1t is only
rarely that the companies experience the
full mortality expected.
The fact that the mortality tables
are so often out Of line with experience
was responsible for recent agitation
for the adoption of new table. rms
agitation was based on the theory that
the high mortality tables enabled the
companies to hold more of the FUNDS OF
policyholderS than would be the case
under table more in line with the
actual experience of the companies. Tho
recent influenza epidemic, which demon =
strated the wisdom of using table
broad enough to cover all contingencies.
was responsible for the cessation of the
agitation for new table. The com :
panies fully demonstrated their position
and there has been much less talk OF
change.
The experience reported by the
Mutual Life covers 3742 policies for
amounts in excess of $50, 900 Ninety
two per cent of the polcyholders in
the group carry insurance ranging from
| $50, 900 to 500, 900. Seven per cent
carry from $4,000 to $3.50 900, and

 Hayakawa plays difficult role like the artist he is and is ably supported by Tsuru Aoki in the role Sada with which she created a sensation on the stage.

RIVERSIDE PARK IS
 READY FUR THRONcS.

With most everybody in Phoenix, Sunday is spelled R-i-v-e-r-s-i-d-e for Riverside is the Mecca for all who would escape the heat and at the same time be assured of a day of sport and fun in the open air.
 This afternoon, in all probability, the pool will claim the attention of the park patrons. There have been several interesting contests arranged, includ- ing diving and swimming events and these never fail to arouse any amount of excitement Aside from the con- tests. the big crowd which is always "in'' on Sunday afternoon, makes the pool an irresistible magnet for all who love to frolic in the water.
 The restaurant announces they are prepared this week to take care of the dinner trade. Their initial Sunday special dinner last week exceeded all expectations, and the result was that the dinner was all gone before the crowd really got started to go to din- ner. But this has been remedied this time and there will be service for all who would take advantage of the op- portunity to have meals without the necessity of having to come back to Phoenix for them.

 This promises to be one of the most widely different vehicles that this star has ever brought to the screen.
 It tells of the perfidy of a young divine, in charge of the parish in the little village which forms the locale at the beginning of this story, which centers around beautiful peasant girl.
 Marie Bernais (Theda Bara) poses- ses a remarkable voice and beauty. Only her father hates her voice. The young minister returns from the di- vinity college and is struck by the girls beauty. He falls in love with her. Her folks object because the girl is beneath his station and Marie learns the first bitter lesson of life, the preacher casts her aside. She attempts suicide, but rescued by a travelling musical troupe, who take the unhappy girl to Paris. Here her voice soon comes into it's own, and she be- I'eomes the idol of the Parisians. Cas- pard Provost, a wealthy manufacturer is her lover, but he cannot marry her l for he is separated, but not divorced, 1 from his wife. Then comes the young divine again, who goes to seek Marie's service to entertain the soldiers. She returns to her native town, but the news that she has a lover kills her father, and the preacher has no dif- ficulty in convincing her that she is on the crimson path. She casts aside tn man who loves her, in the belief ] that the preacher is speaking for her good, but is mortified when she learns that this divine is engaged to a girl,
 and that his interest in her IS prompted purely by lust, as he covets her. Her unhappiness is complete, and she suf- 1 fers severe shock, which leaves her
 in a condition that the doctor said
 would mean the ruining of her voice were she to make the attempt to stage the concert. But having made one
