FARMERS SHOULD RAISE.
MORE FOOD FOR SELVES

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Farm-
ers should produce more of their
own foodstuffs and buy less that
must be brought to them by rail-
road, according to a survey of opin-
ion among $4,000 farmers, made
public today by the department of
agriculture. Nearly 80 per cent of
the food consumed by the farmers
and their families generally is not
grown by them or in their imme-
date vicinity, it was shown, where
as it was estimated that 70 instead
of 20 per cent of their needs could
be produced locally.
High freight rates, it was ex-
planned, tend to reduce the prices
farmers receive for their products
and increase the cost to them for
the things they buy from outside
localities.

THERE'S LESS DYING
IN NORTH AMERICA
MEDICAL DIRECTOR OF NEW
YORK RISK COMPANY PRE-
SENTS FIGURES.

Less dying is being done this yeai
than ever before In fact people are
not dying so much around here in
North America as they used to, and
when they do die they are more likely
to keel over suddenly in the street or
office, or be knocked down by auto
mobiles than formerly.
So said DR.. Augustus S. Knight
medical director of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance company, presenting
these and many other facts at the 10th
annual convention of the Association
OF Insurance Presidents, at Hotel AS
tor.
Fewer Deaths From Diseases.
The death rate for the United
States and Canada this year, he said,
will be almost exactly what it was in
1921, and in 1921 it was lower than it
ever had been before in recorded
health history. DR.. Knight was bas-
ing his figures on 100000 insured
persons in the two countries.
tuberculosis, typhoid fever, assas-
sination and children's diseases had
fewer victims this year than ever But,
he says, automobile accidents and
diseases of strain, including organic
heart ailments, cerebral hemorrhage
and bright's disease, caused more
deaths this year than in 1921" Heart
disease killed about 10000 people
here and in Canada.
The pleasantest thing that DIR.
Knight said was the average span OF
human life in America can be extend
ed by 10 years if full advantage is ia
ken of the present stock of medical
and sanitary knowledge.

LIGHT HAS BURNED IN
HOME. THIRTY-TWO YEARS
Has Glowed in Vestibule Ever Since
Girl Married Against Fathers Will.

The mystery OF the light that has
burned for 81 years in the vestibule
of the old Walters mansion, on Mount
Vernon place, at Baltimore, Md, may
be solved by the recent death Of Mrs.
Jennie Walters Delano, at her home
in New York city.
Mrs. De1ano was the daughter of
the late William T Walters, founder
of an art gallery in front OF the big
house where the light burns contin-
ually. :,
As the story goes, Walters objected
to his daughters marriage TO Delano
and cut her off in his will. The light
appeared the night after the girls
wedding and was taken at once as
sign of repentance by the father. The
light has continued to burn, day and
night, since that time. =, !,
Mr.. Walters fortune was divided
among his sons, who later gave their
sister share OF the estate, If IS said
No relatives of the Walters will dis
cuss the mysterious light, and the aged
caretaker at the mansion avoids all VS.
itors. The big mansion has not been
occupied for years.

Yale Junior "Prom''
Big Affair Despite
Cut in Attendance
Business Depression Fails to
CurtaiI Program at An
nual New Haven Function:
lea Dances at Fraternitics
Special Dispatch to The Tribun,

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. T. Al.
though business depression has affected
the Yale Junior Promenade SO that it
appeared as if expenses would not be
met, the program has not been cur
,allcd, and there are enough events
listed to keep any normal girl sleep
less for forty eight hours.
The Junior-Senior German and q
"a 81 assortment of tea dances in the
fraternity houses served to v het the
appetite for the Promenade. which was
neld IN the beautifully decorated Yale
Dlnlng Hall tonight after the Yale
musical clubs concert in the Shube rt
Thcater.
In previous years there has been
some criticism of the appearance on
the streets after dawn Of underpradu-
ates in ening clothes, so this wear
tne festivities are to end promptly at
o'clock tomorrow morning..
Sale OF tickets for the "Pronl" this
year has fallen below that Of former
years. There arc only sixty box parties
TINS year. Last year there were eighty.
1t was feared that the Junior Prom
cnadc Committee. for the first time in
history, would not make expenses this
year, but tonight it appeared that
both ends will just about meet.
This falling off in popularity is
ascribed to greater weekend travel of
Yale students to New York and the
recent preference shown to small over
large parties
One difference in the festivities this
year was the decrease in juniors who
appeared on the streets very conscious
~ attired in afternoon coat, correct
gray trousers and "high" hat. In for
mer years it has been quite the prone
thing thus attired to take ones "Pron''
