that the East Side school has been rep
resented by team on the gridiron.
when it trounced the High School OF
Commerce eleven yesterday afternoon
at Catholic PTotectory Oval by the
score Of 10 TO o. Stuyvesant established
a precedent by whipping the Orange
and Blue. for no Stuyvesant team had
ever beaten De Witt Clinton, Morris
and Commerce in the same year. a feat
accomplished by the well developed ag-
gregation coached by Chick Saltman.
Stuyvesant kept its slate clean, and
is now the only indicated team In the
city. 1t is also unsecured upon.
Commerce was for improved over it's
carly season form and put up a stiff
argument against the Scarlet and Blue.
In the second period it outplayed it's
opponent but never advanced to scoring
distance. Commerce attempted a greater.
number of forward passes than Stuyve-
SAINT. but the majority OF them were
intercepted.
one intercepted pass resulted directly
in a touchdown when Randy Taylor, the
speedy Stuyvesant back. caught heavs
from Ted Holden and streaked fifty
three yards for touchdown in the third
period. Taylor. a ghost runner in an
open field. easily outdistanced his pur-
suers and sped over the last forty yards
alone. Ken Whalen kicked the goaa
from placement.
Capt. Bill Adler. Kaplan and Hostel
mix were the stars on Stuyvesant's line
Taylor. De Virgilio and Whalen were

NOT PRODUCING MUCH.

Charleston, Jan. 12.-With sever,
al more or less perplexing factors en-.
tering into the situation, the outlook
for the fertilizer industry in Charles
ton, as well as in the, South general
lily, is regarded as problematical; but
on the whole it can be stated that
this industry, which is one of Char
leston's most important, has passed
the worst period of the depression
which struck it with full force last
year, and is now cropping its way to
more hopeful condition. One local
fertilizer man is of the opinion that
the business this year will in volume
be approximately the same as last
year, when just about half the nor
NAL business was done.
The session of fertilizer shipments
usually commence here about Janu-
ary 1 to January Is, but this year it
is not expected to open until at least
February /. With few exceptions,
the local factories have been closed
since last March, a few being tenn
porarily in operation now. The fac
tories have adopted very conserva-
tive policy in manufacturing and are
not producing; beyond what is requir-
ed to take care Of current business.
1t has been number of months since

portant of fertilizers, has been man.

product is as great as last year, there
is likely to be shortage. The stocks

1921 HEALTHIEST YEAR,
BUT AUTO DEATHS HIGHER
Over 10000 Fewer Deaths Than in
Previous Year Says Life In
surance Man.

New York, Jan. 12.-There were
$4,000 fewer deaths in. the United
States and Canada in 1921 than in
1920, said Robert Lynn Cox, 3rd
vice-president of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, in an ad-
dress before the 18th annual conven-
ton of the Association of Life In
surance Presidents here recently.
Mr.. Cox presented statistics based
upon official records of companies
transacting 80 per cent of the life
insurance business which he said,
may indicate the dawn of material
lengthening of the span of human
life in the two countries" The fig
ures show that this year will be en-
tered on the records as "the health
lest ever experienced" Motor-driven
vehicles, however, are exacting an
alarmingly growing toll of victims.
The statistics compiled from the
mortality experience of 81 compan-
les, covered 27,OOO,OOO human lives
which of necessity reflect the gener-
al health conditions throughout the
country. The most amazing factor in
rhe health situation of the year draw
ing to a close, according to Mr.. Cox,
is the almost complete disappearance
of influenza as a cause of death, only
1,716 being reported for 10 months
of 1921 as against 25,400 for the cor
responding period of 1920, which
was not regarded as an epidemic
year. 4l.saM
Excess insurance losses. Of 1913
and 1919 occasioned by influenza
were estimated conservatively at
more than $17O,OO0,0OO. The present
years mortality gain, translated in
the money saved in the payment OF
leath CLAIMS by all life insurance
companies of the United States for
1921, Measured by outstanding in
surance, according to Mr.. Cox, will
amount in round numbers to at least
$51, 100000.
"a matter of no small concern
