 Senator Townsend proposed such an amendment, which Senator Cara- way is studying and which he will decide whether it is satisfactory when consideration of the bill Is resumed Thursday. Senator Cara way denounced the bill brought in by the committee, declaring he did not believe Congress has the moral right to coerce state changing it's constitution by denying it participa- ton in federal aid for road con- struction, while at the same time it's citizens are paying into the federal Treasury taxes which would be dis- tributed among the other states for road work.

 ARE PRAISED
American Novelist Finds British Women Less Mem tally Alert, But More Fond of Sports.
international News Service)


 London, Aug. 17-"I find on the whole that American women are better informed and more alert on world affairs than English women. You have few women of expection- al ability
 This is the views expressed by Mrs. Mary Austin, the well-known American novelist.
 There is d great demand in Amer ica, she says, for womens points of view on feminist questions, as we have not had the vote very long and are keen to know how other countries are dealing with all the women problems which arouse out of the war
 A democracy does not tend to pro duce exceptional types. Women at home are doing very great deal in local matters, and our men are dis posed to turn over the local matters to the women, who are working to SCEuIG DCLLcl OdhltutlOht SNutot'O''t etc.
 A man who votes will call up his wife on the telephone and say: Mother, how did you tell me to vote on the new sanitation ques- tion?
 Do you see any difference in England since you were here be- fore?
 Ut is ten years since I was here, Mrs. Austin replied" l see vast improvement in the dress of the working classes. l do not see any more dingy hand-me-downs on the women, and the men are better groomed.
 Then I notice, too, changed at titude in the way the English peo- pie treat Americans they are more cordial. I think the working classes have improved in every way enor- mously.
 I'm rather distrubed to see so many American films in London. I've walked miles to find British film. I am particularly interested in films, as l write scenarious my self
 But what worries me is that the films do not represent American life, and therefore give false ideas of our social and working life.
 Our stenographers do not wear ropes of pearls and sables wraps as the films from over there would lead one to believe.
 Mrs. Austin is the founder of the Community Theatre movement and it is to lecture on this subject also that she has come to London.
 Now about the fallacy that Amer jeans are always being divorced it is entirely wrong The average people in America are happy. But all the literature we get from Eng land deals with marital troubles, of unpleasant subjects in life.
 Oriticising Englishwomen, Mrs. Austin expressed surprise that so many were so keen on sport and

WOMEN LIVE LONGER THAN MEN, INSURANCE RECORDS SHOW
 FAIR SEX IS BETTER EQUIPPED
Statement of Dr. H. F. Biggar That Both He and John D. Rockefeller Will Celebrate Their 1OOth Anniversary Sets Experts on Longevity to Figuring.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Dr. H. F.. Siggar, physician to John D. Rocke- .eller, threatens to play golf with his famous patient in their hun dredth year. We say 'their" advis- edly, since both men are now eighty two years of age, and the doctor says there is no good reason why they both shouldn't reach the cen tury mark.
 Anyone who follows his sensible way of living can live to be cen- tenarian,' says Dr. Biggar of MT Rockefeller.
 "He can eat anything, but he ob serves one of the prime laws of health to eat moderately. His good sense tells him that moderation in diet is a prerequisite of endurance.
 Golf, mathematical games early to bed and early to rise-these are the rules of the great financiers sim ply lived life.
 But what are his chances or those of any other man or woman to live to be hundred?
 Is woman's chance better or worse than mans to reach ripe old age?
 Investigation shows some startling facts. For instance:
 Women with husbands die earlier than spinsters.
 Married women who buy insur- ance and choose husbands as their beneficiaries are considered poor risks
 These facts have been called to our attention by high official of a well known insurance company, who says regarding longevity.
 "Well-regulated, outdoor life, with a fair amount of exercise, seems to be a good rule to follow. In gen. eral, people who have adhered to such a mode of life have found Horace's golden mean in all things. They choose everything in modera- tion.
 In the United States Life Tables, drawn up from the census of 1910, taking note of the deaths of 1909- 1910-1911, the women show up very favorably.
 Let's look at the tables of EX- pectation of Life, which means the average number of years lived be- yond a certain. age.
 This expectation of life in women whose lives were followed up from the age of ten years, was fifty-fOur years while for men it was fifty one.
 Taken on from twenty-five years the average expectation" of men was thirty-nine years, and in the cases of women it was ,fOrty-one. This means that the average man would live twenty-five plus thirty nine years, and the average woman would live twenty-five plus forty one years.
 Taken at forty-five men may ex- pect to live on twenty-four more years, the women twenty-five. The female is still in the ascendant.
 When sixty is reached, the three score years, our average male has fourteen more years to look forward to and the woman still fifteen. l am leaving out the small fractions; nevertheless, woman is still ahead, when the seventy-five mark is reach ed, if only by fraction. Otherwise we count seven years yet to be lived by both males and females, not forgetting the small additional time for women.
 How do we account for women being ahead? We'll, perhaps less eX- posture to the .hardships and accld-
