The rate of mortality the life insurance compan.
les had to meet in 1918 was about 80 per cent.
greater than in 1917 and IA per cent. greater than
the average death rate for a score of years. This
great advance was due mainly to the influenza cpl
demic the rsvages of which continued during
eral months of the current year. Thirty-eight life
insurance companies reporting to the New York
Insurance Department called upon to pay for
death claims and endowments about $93. 900 900
more than in 1917 The 1ncrease in death losses
paid by legal reserve companies approximately
$123, 900 in the United States and Canada
mainly due to the influenza, lives under age fifty.
To meet the exceptional mortality the surplus funds
of legal reserve companies they stood the end
of 1917 were depleted more than $37 900, 900.
Normally the increase of surplus should have been
about $40 900 900. indicating direct draft on sur
plus of about $77, 100000, owing to the abnormal
mortality. Fraternal orders having limited surplus
es and small reserves suffered very severely.-Sel

Be An American

Be an American. Be true to America, her const-
tuition, her laws, her institutions whether you were
born in America, or foreign SOIL 1t matters not
very much after all where person was born, but
it matters very much how he lives. America is very

And,what does it mean to be an American?
To give every man his opportunity according to
his inalienable right according to the law of
equality. That does mean that all men are equal
in the possession of property, or in social standing
but that Americanism gives all men equal oppor-
tunity to compete with their fellowmen for the
prizes of life. liberty and the pursuit of happiness
according to the rules with the penalties
for all. To make, interpret. and enforce one and
the same law for all classes and individuals. and

Padding Our Years

1t seems to be the the habit of each generation
to wonder If preceding generations did not possess
some magic formula for longevity. Have we lost
valuable secret? Or is just taking her course
and giving moderns bad deal. There's grain
of comfort in the old saying that the good die young
perhaps we're better than ancestors Anyhow,
it is not established beyond dispute that ripe old
age is not for one day? We have it nearly settled;
then comes a knock at the door-and in walks Sci
ence to laugh at us.

remark: Now. folks, what say is SO, is So even if
itisn't So" Science cannot be ignored because we
know it has been dealing with facts and marshal
them If necessary.
II happens that Science has just spoken on the
subject of longevity through of those brilliant
surgeon brothers of Rochester, Minn Says DR..
William j. Mayo
Since the end of the Civil War Is years have
been added to the average length of human life.
With present knowledge and present conditions Is
years might be added to the life of man in this
country within the 20 years. 1t is certain that
10 years will be added, the most productive age,
from the standpoint of industry"
Thus speaks Science. Its distum cannet be set
aside, even by such formidable old standby as the
family album Perhaps, after all. we have been
sonng too generally from our family album. Per-
haps we had better nlose it and look about little
more in the present. 1t may be that have been
mised by superficial observation Many of
shy about admitting our exact ages. This may he
modern weakness.
Certainly there are some old folks to-day. As
rule. those among us who have ACHE sed the high
rungs the ladder of longevity not given to
conspicuous display of their attainment Old age
keeps pretty much to the iresde. Just because we
do much of it is sign that it does not exist
Middle age is by means the end of route
in our time. Oftimes the busy mother. her children
all raised and accounted for, takes long, deep
breath and says to herself: Nov I'm going to have
some fun. myself" Old age has not come for her
she just shifts her sphere of activity She may go in
for suffrage. AS for the men. DR.. Mayo says times
have changed since his boyhood. when it was diff
cult for man of 40 to get job.
In fact it is middle-age in which the famous
surgeon seems most interested. He talks about add
ing 10 years at the most productive age from the
standpoint of industry" He 10 more years
of activity. And then:
If Nation We advance the time of produc-
tion of each person. we can we'll afford to shorten
the hours of work and improve living conditions,
and shall be able to compete with those
in which long hours and poor living conditions short,
en- human life and eventually decrease production
and increase social unrest
How characteristic of the scientific mans view
point 1t is long distance perspective He thinks
about what is best for civilization
If we keep at our jobs later in life we can
all afford to work less hours per day. Science plans
to make possible this wiser distribution of leisure
without hampering, but, the contrary, increasing
production thereby. As things are, many persons
have little leisure they go along that they new
learn how to use t-then it was thrust upon them
in lump at the end.
Longer life is possible. says SCIENCE and par
tcularly longer life of productive activity, which
would make possible wiser distribution of work and
leisure.
Will not the measure of our civilization be de-
termined by its in arranging this distribu-
tion.-Sel.
