HARDING MESSAGE.
WILL DEAL CHIEFLY.
WITH SUBSIDY BILL.
President Receives Data From
Chairman of Shipping Board.
Other Legislation to Await
Regular Session
BY Associated Press

Washington. November 1b.-Presi-
dent Harding after conference to-
day with Chairman Lasker of the
shipping board began work on his
message to the extra session of Con-
gress.
The message Is expected to be do
voted almost entirely to discussion
of the pending merchant marine bill
as 1t has been asserted that the
Presidents desire to have action on
this measure expedited was the main
reason for calling Congress in extra
session. Other legislation such as
transportation act may be touched on
by the executive but it Is generally
believed among congressional leaders
with whom the President has con-
ferred. that presentation of detailed
views on other subjects will await
the annual message to be forwarded
ON the converting of Congress in
regular session. December 4.
The President, in beginning work
on his message, had before him a
largo amount of data supplied by
Chairman LaslSer, all of 1t showing
the present situation with respect to
the governments war-built ocean
tonnage and the necessity of prompt
action by Congress in the matter of
q permanent policy.
Prior to the visit OF the shipping
board chairman to the White House,
Senator Curtiss, Kansas. republican
whip of the Senate. informed the
President of the arrangements for
the converting of Congress on Mon
day. The Senate on meeting, Sena-
tor Curtiss said. will adjourn until
Tuesday out of respect to tho late
Senator Watson of Georgia. The
President, according to present plans.
will deliver his message in person
Tuesday at a joint session of Con-
gress.

raid, having removed all of their
unlawful wares.
The Law and Order League has
also brought to a sudden halt the
many floggings of citizens in Bir-
mingham. Colonel Smith declared,
which was considered one of the
greatest achievements of the assocla-
ton. The speaker urged his hearers
to aid the league in its efforts
toward Graduating this crime from
those being committed in Birming-
ham. as he said that the floggings
that have occurred here did more
harm to Birmingham than the 11s
murders which have been committed
here since January 1, 1922.
Colonel Smith was introduced TO
his audience by Maclin Smith, pres
ident of the Exchange club. The
attendance prize fell to Jack Frazier
secretary of the club. and was do
mated by Tom Bragg.

SCIENCE HAS ADDED .
IS YEARS TO LIFE .
Periodic Medical Examina-
tons Urged by New York
Health Expert
BY Associated Press

Chattanooga, Tenn, November Is.
About IS years have been added to
the expectation OF life at birth in
this country in the past century;
about 10 years in the last two de-
cades, according to DR.. Eugene Ly-
man Fisk. medical director Life Ex-
tension institute, New York. before
the convention of the Southern Med
ical association here today
DR.. Fisk said:
Most of the gain in life extension
Is due to reduction in mortality
under 5 years of age. Up to 1910.
and probably up to 1917. inclusive,
there was no gain in the expecta-
ton of life at age of so.
THE extremely favorable figures
for 1920 may reflect an abnormal and
accidental fluctuation. There has
been no continuous progressive Inn
provement throughout the decade in
the diseases of middle life and old
age.
THE greatest task and the largest
opportunity in preventive medicine
lies In the extension of the period Of
full vitality and in extending the
life span beyond age of 40.
This can best be accomplished by
periodic medical examination and the
application OF scientific methods Of
health building as well as disease
prevention.
well tested scientific studies of
groups coming under the influence Of
periodic health examinations show a
reduction of T6 per cent In the death
list among impaired lives. among the
largest being made between the ages
Of 40 and so, clearly showing the
neglected field of opportunity in pre-
ventive medicine.
Consider Total Needs
1.-THE same principles must be fol-
lowed IN clinical medicine--a con-
sideration of the patients total needs
rather than detached consideration OF
special emergency needs.
This program does not imply the
use of the general or family prac-
titioner. but requires that he adj
just himself to now conditions.
Public health organization--na-
tionai. state and city-must go for

ters, life extension centers have
come to stay and will further de-
veiop. 1t is suicidal for clinical med
ioine to oppose them. But there
should be harmonious cooperation
among these agencies concerned with
health service to the people.
clinical medicine has most to fear
from It's own reaotionary or obstruc-
tive tendencies. It has most to gain
from open minded cooperation and
policy of first consideration to the
relief of human misery. Undereucn
conditions I foresee clinical medicine
enormously extending Its power and
influence with the people. the break

science and the elevation Of the prac-
tice of medicine to a much higher

We bring you laurel wreaths, Bes'

Come and 60 again our way,
Go our way, not to forget you.
For each year in blossom time
Shall the echo OF this meeting
Answer back In memories chime.
All honor to you this day.
When life 10 at Its best,
Happy days to us who claim you,
Spirit Of our own great west.
There's q wholesomeness about you
That we cannot quite explain
Like breath Of prairie roses
Waited DER our wind-swept plain.
1t was in your carly gIories. Ja
In your Mason family stories,
That brought you early recognition
OF q pure and high ambition
Offered jazz-swept world throttle ii
As from out your own Ink bottle
Stepped your ideal OF womanhood,
And you chose to make her good.
This your high ideal Of woman
In her home and in her life
You have lived In its perfection
As q mother and a wife.
Woman stepped from your Ink bottle
As homes guiding star.
Understanding heart aglow
With love that cannot mar.
We love you for your honor
And the way you made US know
That there's more to making doughnuts
Than Just mixing UP the dough:
That the way to do ones housework
And to drag the lifting weight
Is to get a big idea
And to make 1t nay the freight;
That homemaksng IL not drudgery
Only as we make 1t SO:
We may work with inspiration
As we labor here below.
You've lent dignity to labor.
And it's what we need today
To meet the worldwide debt
OF lifes toll that we must pay.
The world 10 thankful in its heart
For women just like you.
We need your CHEEKY courage
To help this world through
In this day OF world upheaval.
May the pictures that you paint
With words from your ink bottle
In ways ideal and quaint
Still paint the home fires burning
As the great eternal plan:
That all things work together
For the final good Of man
Using words for your brush, splash color,
Still paint the good and true,
Give Of your best and truly
The best will come back to you.
