The average age OF the men killed
in France was 90 years. This is
one of the startling revelations of
some figures. recently published by
the bureau of war risk insurance.
1t was a war of youths. For every
man of 33, there were two of IS
who fell on the battle front.
That the American fighting unit
took heed for those who were left
behind is shown by the fact that
$40, zoo. 600. 900 in insurance was
carried by men in the service. To
quot, the publication of the bureau:
Some idea of the magnitude of
sac, 000, 0O0, 900 may be gained by
figures compiled by the actuarial
section OF the bureau, showing that
if this amount were in dollar bills,
end to end, the line thus formed
would extend to the moon more
than Il times"
The organization required to
handle this stupendous amount of
insurance was until recently
housed in 16 buildings in Washing
ton, ranging from garages to the
new national museum. At present,
Is, 900 persons are engaged in ad-
ministering this insurance of the
World War veterans. If the women
workers of the bureau stood finger
tip to finger tip, they would extend
more than 13 miles.

portance Of getting to work on the
roadway leading to the Island,
just as quickly as possible. Once
the residents of Jefferson Is

business with the Abbeville mer-

inducement to turn them to New

ferson Island at the present time
is in a deplorable shape. Almost

The market Quieted down In the early

but most attention was directed to the
motors. Chalmers featured that group,
opening more than two points higher.
There were sales In United Motors for
tho FIRST time in several weeks. Hupp
Motors also was strong.
Oils were in good demand. Houston
OIL stock and rights moved to new
high levels and Midwest Refining closed

Jersey was prominent, with a gain of
more than 20 points. Lower priced
oils were rather quiet and irregular.

part OF the session with an advance Of

In long time. Merritt OIL rose about

Remington Typewriter again sold to

demand due to reports OF q merger
with a large motor manufacturing con-
Germ. Aetna Explosives was higher,
and improvement was shown in Con-
solidated Cigar common. Cramp Ship

higher. Savold Tire issues were quiet.
IL is believed that the New York COM

centres of the state instead of selling
county rights as contemplated.
Mining stocks were more active and

The advance of yesterday in cotton
was longer and even more sensational
than of Saturday. In January deliveries
the upward movement was not checked
until tho price reached 31.70c., making
the full maximum gain permitted for any

were 120 to IFS points net higher
Uneasiness about the new crop outlook,
which had been largely responsible for
the strength of late last week, was in
