TEE GROWING 1.1FE span.

There has been an increase of two
and three-quarter years in the life
span in the last decade. This is shown
in a life table for the year 1920 for
the original registration states which
has just been constructed. At birth.
tbe. complete expectation OF life is now
54-s as compared with Sis years in
1910 and 1872 in 1901. The total ad-
dition to the expectation OF life is five
years in the last two decades. The
duration OF life has been stretched n
fifth in less IL n one generation. This
+ gure could be considerably increas sed
II the public health service could ex-
tend its activities to accidents and
homicides
The latest life table clears up one
other important point which has con-
cerned public health workers during
the last few years. says a bulletin is
sued by the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance company. The table shows an
Improvement in the death rate in
middle life and in old age. and a corre-
spending improvement in the expec-
tation. After the 1910 figures became
available. there was much consterna-
tion over the fact that. after age as,
the death rate showed hardly any i'm
provement and at some ages. such as
at so and over. showed actual in
creases- This no longer obtains. On
the contrary. there is a slight but
wholesome tendency toward improve
ment in the figures for the older ages
The changes are small and are likely
TO remain so. but it is encouraging to
find no retrogression.
In deaths from accidents the great
est excess exists in the mortality
from railroad and automobile. Rail-
road accidents have always been much
fewer in England than in this coun-
try Because OF the greater care taken
TO safeguard rights of way and to
eliminate grade crossings. The auto
mobile menace has not struck Eng
land, probably because OF the smaller
development OF automotive traffic in
that country.
Another factor contributing to the
higher accident death rate in the
United States is greater reckness-
ness Nm the use Of firearms. This is
clearly indicated by the death rate
from this form OF accidental violence
The Topeka state journal., 1922-06-13

which, in the United States, is eight
times that in England and Wales. The
homicide death rate in the United
States is about nine times the rate for
England and Wales.
The injuries ami deaths that result
from accidents make a public health
and safety problem of first-class pro-
portions in the United States. While
three-fourths as many deaths occur
from external causes as from tuber-
culos.s. the health officer has no con-
troll over them. The responsibility
rests almost entirely with the police
and safety officials and with those
private organizations which have
grown out of the safety movement in
industry. While some impression has
been made on the accident record by
these agencies. no large results can be
said to have followed their work so
far

HEART And HOME PROBLEMS

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have tried
to get a prescription filled which you
recommended, but the druggist doesn't
know how much glycerine, chalk,
grains of sulphur. Will you please
print it in the paper. I do want to
try it so badly for my red nose. 1t
is just once in awhile it gets red.
Sometimes it comes to a pimple and

The lotion for redness of the nose

cipitate of sulphur, pure glycerine.
precipitated chalk, cherry laurel water
causes the slightest tendency to peel
ing, it may be necessary to omit it for
a few days, but a slight application of
cold cream, rubbing it off gently at
once, if desired, will usually offset
such an effect.
A red nose is usually caused by de-
fective digestion or an impoverished
condition of the system. as well as
sluggish circulation. 1 would advise
you to consult a physician as we'd as
to use the lotion.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two
girl friends in our teens and we have
many boy friends. Once in a while we
are together and have nice times. The
boys often take us home from places.
but never take US to any place of
amuseTn ent, altho they don't go with
any other girls. They are very polite
to all. How can we win them?
KEWPIE AND CUTIE.
Fate has decreed that it is woman's
place to wait and mans place to pur-
sue. There is nothing you can do to
win the young men. It does not seem
to me in good taste to go places un-
escorted. Usually the girl who is taxi
en- to places of amusement by young
man does not go to such places un
escorted; she waits until she is invited.

Certain Eurcaean nations doubtless
would like TO see the United States
extend direct aid to Russia. for they
would be the immediate beneficiaries
of the loan. But a financial advance
would not lead to a restoration of in

be used directly or indirectly TO main

The Kansas supreme court last Sat
urday handed down an opinion which
wiped out one of the most iniquitous
pieces OF legislation ever perpetrated
on the people OF this state. 1t was
the law which permitted the taxation
OF money invested in government
bonds after that money already had
been taxed for the year in which the
investment was made. a citizen OF
Cowiey county disposed of valuable oil
properties in Texas and invested one
million dollars of the proceeds in gov
eminent bonds. A Kansas assessor
coerced linn TO list his Investment for
IA xatiou under the state statute which
provides for sucnN listing. He went
into the district court but lost his case
and appealed to the supreme court
which now has held that the money
invested in liberty bonds was not tax
able and the taxes he was compelled
TO .pay should be refunded. Many
small investors have paid this tax be-
cause they could not afford to fight
the law. The Cowley county man has
done the people a real service.

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS.

Among the many activities Of the
federal government in connection with
the everyday life of the people prob
ably there is none so far reaching as
its system vocational education.
Perhaps it is too early to place a prop
er estimate on this work, but results
are beginning to appear, especially in
farming and dairying.
The government has set itself the
task of teaching men and women to
earn a living. The agency charged
with this duty is the federal board for
vocational education. Its student body
comprises 3O5.224 part-time and con-
tinuation school pupils. scattered thru
each of the forty-eight states.
Educators have for years been ex-
perimenting with industrial instruc-
ton. The entrance G. the government
into this field thru the legislation of
1917 has definitely established indus
trial instruction as an integral part of
our school system. Today thru an
nual grants, apportioned thru the fed
eral board among the states. vocation
al education is taking on a momen-
tum even beyond the hopes of its pio
neers. These grants for the current
year equal s4,12O.SS3. Since every
state or local board is required to
match the federal grant on a fifty
fifty basis, the total expended on pub
lie vocational education for the cur
rent year is more than double this
figure.
According to the report for the year
vocational schools receiving federal
aid is 1859. The rate of increase is
evident when it is noted that the num-
ber of federal-aided schools on June
80, 1913. was only 1.741-less than
half.
OF the present number, 1.721 are
agricultural schools; s36 are trade
and industrial schools; 914 are home
economics. and 3ss are part-time gen
eral continuation schools. OF the
sos. .224 enrolled students. 42.7O9 are
agricultural: ss.532 are trade and in
dustrial; $3.50 are home economics,
and 115.177 are general continuation
school pupils.
The direct work of instruction IS
performed by the state vocational
boards. which are organized in each
state to cooperate with the federal
board. The function of the latter is
supervisory. To coordinate and stan
dardize the vocational schools in each
state, minimum requirements are laid
down by the federal b, ard as a condi-
ton for the receipt of funds Ere
quent conferences are held by the
board, in which practical problems are
discussed. Research work is carried
on by the federal staff, and bulletins
and~trade surveys are published.
The aim of vocational instruction is
to make education practical Under
the old purely classical education sys-
tenn schools often taught the pupil
everything except how to earn a liv-
ing. Lessons had only a remote con-
nection with his future occupation.
He left the schoolroom only to find
that he had no marketable knowledge.
And since the old time apprenticeship
system which formerly filled this need
has well nigh vanished, there was no
vestibule to industry itself.
Under the erection of the federal
government. in cooperation with the
states, the old education is fast Civ
ing ground before the new movement.

Ten years later, the feminine reaction
against tight and heavy corsets started
in, with the result that today corsets
are practically unknown among the
flapper population. Persons who claim
to know say that the uncorseted era
is now definitely here; that the young
woman of today. never having worn
them, probably never will. But in
view OF all the cOrset's irregular his
tory. this conclusion seems a bit un-
certain. Already there are faint signs
that it is returning to favor-not be-
cause physicians now approve of it,
but because the Partisan designers do.

persons blindly imply willingness to
pay higher prices for everything they
buy in rdtr to make a little better
