the dark passages, and at last tracked
the sound to the pantry.

Curzon S Art
Taste Starts
Some Trouble

London, Jan. 31.-A question
OF artistic taste almost caused a
split in the British cabinet, and
1t needed all the tact of Lloyd
George to avert it. Lord Curzon
and Sir Alfred Mond were the
leaders of the opposing factions.
Seven years ago an ardent Brit
ish patriot named Sigismund
Goetz, well known as an artist, Of
fered to paint a number of allie
gorical pictures, symbolizing the
rise of Britains greatness. His in
tention was to present them to the
foreign office, where they were to
decorate the principal corridor.
Sir Edward Grey accepted the
offer. The war, however, delayed
execution of the pictures, and 1t
was not until last September they
were completed.

somewhat aggressive manner.
Incidentally, Mr.. Sigismund
Goetz happens to be Sir Alfred
Mond's brother in law.
Lord Curzon demanded an ex-
planation and the immediate re-
moval Of the pictures. He even
went so far as to declare that they
were wanting in artistic merit.
Now, Sir Alfred Mond is proud
Of his taste in art, and he has
spent a fortune in demonstrating
it. So he very firmly told Lord
Curzon to confine his remarks to
matters he knew something about.

Death Rate on.
Farms Lowest
Figures Show

Washington, d. c., January 81
The Department of Commerce
through the Bureau of the Cen.
sus, announces that the second
official publication on life tables,
derived from births, deaths and
populations in this country is soon
to be issued. These tables show
conditions as they existed in
1890, in 1901. and 1910, thus
making 1t possible to study the
changes which have taken place
In mortality during two decades.
Mortality Varies with the Glass.
1t Is shown that mortality at
practically all ages is higher
among men than among women.
In particular 1t appears that the
most favorable mortality in this
country Is found among women
living In the rural districts. The
rural classes, regardless Of sex,
enjoy a much lower mortality for
nearly the entire range Of life
than those living in the cities.
While the expectation of life, both
among men and women in most
classes has steadily increased,
there Is no indication of any de-
finite lengthening of the span of
life. In other words, while al
most all classes of persons are
living to an older average age,
the limiting age of human life
does not seem to have advanced,
Change in Two Decades
In 1901 the expectation of life
among white females at birth was
about three years more than
among white males, and in 191Ot
the excess In favor of the females
had increased to almost three and
one-half years. There seems to
nave been a general improvement
FOR all classes for the ages up to
about age 40 for men and age so
-or women, except for the negro
population. Above there ages no
improvement is shown, and in
some cases the mortality at the
older ages in 1910 was actually
less favorable than 1t was in 1901.

whether because he did not like
