According to the United States CEN
sus of 1920, there are In this country
at this time 3,170,000 widows and only
1,471 800 widowers. This indicates
that the chances, are, on the average,
two to one that a man will pass away
before his wife. The main reason for
this condition Of affairs is that the
wife is generally several years young
