Our Gift to France.

This week has been set aside for
Americans to contribute voluntarily
to testimonial gift to France, in
recognition OF the heroism with
which France stemmed the tide of
German invasion at the Marne in
1914. This is not a Embarrassing
campaign, as funds have come to be
considered. The amount sought
throughout the country is only $780,
600. No solicitation is being made,
but Americans are expected to make
volunteer contributions.
Forty-one years ago, the PEOPLE of
France subscribed popular fund
and presented our Statute of Liberty
to the American people. Our oppor-
tunity to reciprOcate is low at hand.
Americas gift to France is to be
placed in a position overlooking the
Marne, near the village of MeauX,
where the tide of battle was turned
and democracy was saved from the
ravages Of militarism. 1t will be a
statute of colossal size. Every in

1900 Years of Life

DR.. Eugene l.. Fisk. in an address
before the Medical Society of the
State of New York, made the state

longed for 1900 years Such a thing,
he admitted, would be terrible, but
he said that if the life cycle of men
and women should be heightened to
the proportionate extent that science
had stretched the life OF the fruit fly,
it vas quite possible. DR. Fisk did
MT explain i'll detail just how this
terrible" change might be brought
about, but if radiUm (Which was the
subject of discussion before he began
to speak, is to figure in it the terrors
of longevity are due for an increase.
