instances OF Remarkable Gases OF
Longevity Which Seem to Be
Well Authenticated.

The death at Nenagh, County Upper
airy, Ireland. OF Mrs. Bourke. who was
reported to have reached the age OF
121 years, has led the London Daily
Express to make a record of some of
the other famous cases Of longevity.
In 1904 the regimental chaplain of the
18th Bengal infantry was still conduct
ing services in Calcutta at the age OF
40. In 1908 Andrea NikoIaievitch
Schmidt, a Russian, produced papers
which showed that he was i36 years
old, and had enlisted in the Revai
battalion in 1896. The same year
Hadji Raouf was 133, and was still
earning living as a saddler in Con-
stantinople, but he was a juvenile COM
pared with QuO-Ka-Num, an Indian
chief who roamed the shores Of Puget
sound at the age of $50. He was gen
orally conceded by Europeans more
likely to be 200, and he claimed to re-
member the time when iron was I'M
known to his tribe. He was feet 3
inches in height and did not weigh so
pounds. a few years ago a, Chinese
woman reached Montreal She had
left her native land when 20, and had
lived in Demerara for 100 years. In
1912 Europe had 1000 living centenari-
ans, of whom 3.SSS were Bulgarians.

the month of grace during which the
policy was in force, and one for the
month in which reinstatement is made.
This is a very generous provision, and
will make it possible for all eX-service
men to retain their government insur-
ance after they have become adjusted
again in their normal civil life. Indeed,
look for very heavy reinstatement
and conversion as soon as the Sweet
bill passes the senate and becomes an
act and it is made known to all those
who are affected.
"The bureau appreciates tremendous
ly the cooperation it has had from
the insurance officials and the men Of
the insurance profession, and it is to
be regretted that there are some few
who disregarded their moral obligation
to assist the eX-service men by encOur-
aging the men to drop their govern
ment insurance and take out insurance
in private companies. 1t is my per
sonal opinion that all eN-service men
in such instances should combine in
their dsapprOval of such action, anC
should in some forceful way express
their utter disgust for those who are
found guilty of such practices. Indeed
in the years to come, l feel confiden
that in such cases where ex-servict
men have been advised in such way q:
to allow them to lose their government
insurance, that there will be at leas
one man in the world whom the ex
service men will utterly despise, an
distrust, and that will be the un
scrupuous agent who in time Of ties

Col. Edwin Jadwin, now in command
of one of the engineer regiments in
France, disregarded war department
red tape, formalities and regulations,
to get his troops over to France fully
equipped for work. The record made
by Colonel Jadwin in getting his men
speedily ready for service and the eff
cheney of his work has already been
the subject Of widespread comment in
army circles. 1t develops now that the
reason for his success was primarily
due to the fact that he ignored red
tape membranes which are required
legally by the present system. 1t will
be for Secretary Baker to decide
whether Col. Jadwin is to escape the

course or whether he will be com
