AFFECTS EXCHANGE IN INDIA
Brokers and Currency Dealers FlRG Business Greatly Influenced by
 tho Marriage seaSon.

Among the TDhuences which affect the currency of a country. probably none but experts in exchange would be inclined to include -narrSiug and giving in marriage. says the Detroit Free Press. Yet 1t Is a fact that the Indian 7mGE- rlage season, which cOines In May, dOea actually have an adverse effect OD the rate of exchange In India, just as the exports of wheat and grain from India form another seasonal influence which turns exchange In favor ,Uf India. ,.
 Custom In India dictates athals tlIs bridegroom, or his father should sgiNs gold and silver ornaments 10 the bride at the time If the marriage. These ornaments are called "stree-dhau," and they represent, in reality. a marriage settlement. They are the 'w0maIl's 'ab- sOlute property. and she naturally PEe- serves them with great care.
 At the marriage time a great te- masha," or feast, Is given to the .lmme- diate relatives and followers Of the two families, and this, of course, neceS. sItates a lavish expenditure of 'SilVeF. Bankers, brokers and B&eteFB 7GG- change dealers have found by reZVsTi. ence that the coming Of theNmaFFiaso season ln India is heraldsd b3 a -ds- mand for vast amount Of silver cur rency, and they accordingly take 6tspa ln advance to enable them to meet it.

Biu RaiIroadeTs Hobby.

Carl K. Gray, the new president of the Union Pacific system, has one hobby-that is his family in which he takes the greatest interest aud pride. When his two boys, who are now at college, were attending pre- paratory school at Baltimore" says J. G. Donley, Jr. in Forbes Magazine, ''he never missed a baseball or foot ball game In which the school team participated unless he was away from home. And he knew every boy on the teams by his first name. One of his greatest delights was to get out on the baseball field on a summer evening and bat flies to his boys. When not on the road or in his office, he spends all of his time with his family"

What tuberculosis Is
Costing Each YeaI

From 2 LIZ TO 5 years of life fol
each individual in the United States
can be saved in this country If fAtn,
of money value at 500 a year per
person, which is s~ te''ate esti-
mate this means p <7vtive saw
ing of about 25 to so Aillion dollars
to the people of the United States.
These are the concl asions reached
by the National tuberculosis Associa
tion on the basis of figures compiled
for the Association by Miss Jessa-
mine S. Whitrey, Research Secre-
tary, and DR.. Louis |. Dublin, Sta
tistician of the Metropolitan Life In
surance Company.
Miss Whitney and DR.. Doublin ar
rived at their conclusions by an inge-
nious method Basing their studies
separately on the population OF the
United States according to the CEN
sus for 1910 and upon the expert
ence of the Metropolitan Life Insur
ance Company from 1911 to 1916,
each of them prepared life tables
showing the normal number of years
a person might be expected to live
if tuberculosis were present as it is
now, and if there were no deaths
from tuberculosis whatever in this
country.
DR.. Dublin found that the number
of years lost lo each individual in
the United States on account of tu-
berculosis varied from 20 for white
women to years for colored women
The average loss for white men is
3.48 years, and for colored men A.
95 years. Miss Whitney's figures,
taking into consideration the entire
population, both white and colored,
show that tuberculosis shortens the
average lifetime of every individual
in the United States by approximate
" IL wears.

Man With 'DuCkitis''
Rejected By Marines

Kansas City, April 6th.-Because
a thin membraneous f1lament con-
Meeting his toes made him web-foot-
ed, Frank F.. Adams, of Wichita,
thought he would make a splendid
recruit for that semi-aquatic organ
ization, the United States Marine
Corps. and was keenly disappointed
when rejected for enlistment here
for that very reason. Now Adams
believes that if Uncle Sam can't use
a man-duck, he still has a mission in
life, and is contemplating applying
for a position as traffic "cop" in the
city of unfixed leaks-Venice.
The recruiting sergeant suggested
that Adams acquire water on the
knee and a floating kidney with his
other accom- plishments and then en-
ter the Patagonian Navy.
