FIVE YEARS ADDED
TO AMERICAN LIFE

Five years has been added to the
duration Of life in America since
1909, according to the findings of
the committee on elimination Of
waste in industry, of the American
engineering council, appointed by
Herbert Hoover, secretary Of COM
merce.
'In the report on national vitality,
prepared by Professor Irving Fisher
for the national conservation COM
mission, appointed by President
Roosevelt in 1sO9." says the waste
committees report, cit was esti-
mated that there were about 3,000,.
900 persons seriously i'll at all times
in the United States, and that AZ
per cent Of this illness was prevent.
able, with a resulting extension of
life Of over fifteen years. w.. F..
even in the, short period of time
since that report was issued a meas
ure of this reduction has been noted.
The estimate of thirteen days an
nual loss from illness must now be
reduced to approximately seven. The
duration of life has actually been
extended probably a period of five
years.
''The sickness rates actually deter
mined in recent studies," the report
continues, "show that 2 Ia per cent
of wage earners are constantly i'll to
an extent to be incapacitated. This
would justify an estimate of approx
mately 100000 people continually
i'll instead of 100000.
In dealing with health conditions.
the reports estimates total loss
among 100000 workers between
the ages of fifteen and sixty-five of
42S, 900 lives in 1920. The death rate
in industry is given at 11.46 per l.
900, while in preferred occupations,
such as teaching, it is 3.24.
tuberculosis is the most important
of epidemic and communicable dis
eases, two to three deaths per 1000
occurring annually at the working
ages. Ten years ago, according to
the report, the rate was nearly
doublen that figure. It is estimated
that three per cent of the industrial
population, or about 100000 lives.
are affected. 4 s
Special items of loss enumerated
by the repotr, which declares "at
least seventy-five per cent practical
ly preventable" are as follows: Tu'
bcrculosis, $500, 900, 900 annually from
death alone and $4,000, 100000 in
this generation from diminished
longevity; typhoid, $135,000,090 an
n,lally; hookworm, $3.50, 100000 an
nually, and malaria, $100.0O0,0OO an
nually.
The report warns against what 1t
calls "real danger" in drawing too
sweeping a conclusion from the evil
dence supplied by the death rates
as to the physical advancement of
the race.
= "The actual physical records
would in fact suggest that the pres
ent favorable death rate is due
rather to mitigation of the strug-
gle for existence and a protection OF
the community from disease than an
actual upbui1ding of the physique

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-An agree
ment among the relatives Of Eprico
Caruso by which the tenor's baby
daughter, Gloria, is given one-half
the estate and 100000 lire was made
known today by his widows attor-
neys. ../
The agreement has been approved
by the court at Naples, the lawyers
declared L. a statement, and the adj
ministration and distribution Of the
estate is proceeding under its terms.
The legal steps taken here, the state
ment continued, were merely to
have Mrs. Caruso appointed admin
istratrix to collect assets in the state
Of New York, to pay New York
creditors, and to turn over the sur
plus to the Italian estate to be dis
posed of according to the agree
ment. All parties, it assered, are
working in harmony.
1.-THE agreement gives to Gloria
one-half the estate" it said, (which
one-half is to include the more i'm
portant and valuable articles which
belonged to her father, giving unto
her in particular the collection of
gold boxes and watches, the gold
disc which is at present in the GUS
tody of a phonograh company,
and also 100000 lire to be deposited
in the Banca Sommerciale, Florence,
in the name of Gloria Caruso. the in
terest thereon to be accumulated
and to be turned over to her when
she reaches her majority.
1.-The remaining one-half Of the
estate is to be divided into four
equal parts, to be distributed respec-
lively among the sons, Rodolfo and
Enrico; the widow, Dorothy Benja-
min, and the brother, Giovanni Ca
russo. The agreement also makes

ployes of the deceased" ~
Additional proceedings, it was
said, will be brought in New Jersey

royalties on contract with a phono-
graph company there.
The attorneys explained that I'M

made in New York on January 4,

Japan viii Insist
On Cash in Payment
For Tsingtao Railway
BY CHARLES e. HOGUE

Especial Cable to The Journal and Chicago
Daily .News-Copyright, 1921
TOXIC, Japan, Dec. 22.-Japan
will "stand pat" for payment in cash
or proper foreign securities before
relinquishing control of the Using
tao railway. The government has
not made the announcement yet,
but this correspondent has unques-
toned authority for the statement
that Premier Hara's policy outlined
short time before his assassination
will be adhered to. China's credit
is questioned, the opinion being that
even secured debentures should ex-
tend beyond three years if the cash
is not forthcoming.
The government feels that the
popular belief that the naval limita-
tions agreement reflects against
Japan's diplomacy will be increased
unless firm stand is taken in the
railway question, and may result in
the defeat of the administration. The
pending convocation Of the diet with
the consequent political agitation is
potent factor.

That because of no fixed
