The Healthiest Year

insurance company statistics,
covering 27,000,000 persons, make
1921 the healthiest year in the
history of the United States and
Canada. The death rate among
policy-holders dropped during that
period from $50 per thousand TO
8.24 per thousand. Influenza all
but disappeared. tuberculosis,
pneumonia, Bright's disease,
measles, whooping cough typhoid
fever, and numerous other all
ments brought fewer persons to
their graves than in 1920 despite
a rising birth rate and growing
population. The only discourage
ing fact was considerable in.
crease Of deaths by suicide, hon.
icide and automobile accidents.
While the 1921 figures MAJ in
part be traccable to exceptional
circumstances, there is every rea
son to believe they represent two
important drifts in the attitude Of
the race toward itself. A de
crease in one year from 65,961 to
40,613 deaths attributable to res
piratory diseases is significant. SO
is the fact that while tuberculosis
now claims one in every nine poi
icy-holders, it claimed one in ev-
cry four but 10 years ago. The
age Of science has found weapon
to repulse many an i'll OF which
human flesh was once the newt
able prey.
But it has also given men new
playthings and tangled them in Il
strange and harassing form Of eX-
iatence. Man of the airplane, mo-
tor car, the Office. and the factory
is finer-edged than he was, He
has more instruments with when
to harm himself, and if his ca.
pacity for restraint is no less than
it was, the strain upon it is great
er, His tendency toward create,
self-destruction is definite. OF
cour. G, it need not be permanent
The increase in what might be
called traffic deaths is largely due
to carelessness. Laws and adj
ministration of the laws touching
accidents can improve away TIE
increase in deaths due to such
eau es. The problem of homicide
is also susceptible of treatment.

THE SHEIK" PLAYED
TO CAPACITY HOUSE

"The Sheik" is one of the great
est pictures of the year. In the
first place it is taken from the
best seller of the year. A fascln-
atjng, exotic story of the Arabian
Sahara, alive with color and thrill
inglv depicted. 1t concerns the IN
fatuation of an Arabian chicftian
(Thc Sheik) for naughty, beau
tiful English girl; her thrilling alb
duction, the desert scenes, the
wonderful riding, form startling
dramatic episodes in this strange
romance. 1t is one of the mos,
vital love stories ever portrayed
and is filled with innumerable
thrills and marvellous scenes. The
musical setting was composed OF
that sinuous Arabian melody that
awakened weird yearning in the
mind, and the Oriental song
"Kismct" by Miss Richards in
costume with colored lighting eff
fects was the great hit of the pro
gram. Everything repeated to-
night for the last time.

AUXILIARY ALLOTMENTS
1900 BEFORE CONFERENCE

W ASHlNGTON-Dec. 27-TEe
conference delegates hoped to
conclude at today's session of the
naval committee their discussion
Of the British propoasl for the
abolition of the submarines and to
clear the way for the considera-
ton of the question of the auxil-
iary allotments under the classes
proposed. While the French dele
cation were known to have receiv-
ed instructions from Paris they
apparently have taken the posi-
ton that the proposal for aboli
ton simply awaits a presentation
OF detailed figures both on the
que ton of submarines and other
auxiliary craft. This view is ap-
parently shared by the delegates
OF the other powers.

The Merchant Prince

There was an old geezer
And he had lot of sense,
He started up a business
On a dollar n eighty cents.
The dollar was for stock :
And the eighty for an ad,
Which brought him three dollar
In a day, by dad!
Wetll, he bought more goods
And a little more space,
And he played that system
With a smile on his face.
The customers tfocked
To his two by four,
Soon he had to hustle
For a regular store.
Up on the square
Where the people pass,
He gobbled up a corner
That was all plate glass.
H fixed up the WINDOWS
With the best he had,
And he told them all about it
In a half-page ad.
He soon had 'em coming
And never, never quit
And he won't cut down
On his ad one jit,
Anr he's kept things humming
In the town ever since,
And everybody calls him
The Merchant Prince.

To produce perfect tea, the four
outstanding factors are Climate,
Cultivation, Curing and Care. And
the greatest of these is Care.
The part that Nature plays in
growing tea is just part. The
rest is mans. The care in curing,
The skill in blending, the protective

cellence of the brew.
1t is the care that guards every

CalifOrnia's Winter Criminals Go Home
 For Summer

Sacramento, Cal. June 11-Ca1i- fornia criminals are migrating east ward to spend the Summer months in the exclusive Summer resorts and hotels of cities on the Atlantic sea board and Middle West.
 This is according to c. S. Morrill, Superintendent of the State Bureau of Criminal identification. who is the official California observer in things criminal.
 Merrill states that he can check up on what type of offenders are working the State by keeping careful watch of the crimes committed, the manner of commitment, the loot obtained, etc.
 The State identification expert de- clares that Eastern burglars are less cautious in their movements than native California crooks" The East erners shoot off the locks of doors or cabinets they wish to gain entrance to, says Morrill,, while California providers gently pick the locks and, as a rule, have far greater success in achieving their objective. Between December and April the majority of the locks are shot off, safes are blown up, etc, according to Morrill,. After April the California Tight fingered variety are found to be at work, and this is the present situation, Morrill, affirms.
 They've left us for the Summer" Merrill declared. but they'll be back by Winter as sure as the snow falls in the East. Why? Because these Eastern crooks, like all intelligent be- ings, prefer California's Winter eli mate to that of the East. Also be- cause they know the wealthy East which makes California a profitable field"
