Paris, March members of
the French Academy chuckle in
the approved Taft style when any
mention is made of methods fur
'prolonging human life. They
have discovered the secret. They
are "Immortals" by popular con-
sent. A French magazine, the
Mercure de France, has found
that they did fair to be so in fact
in few centuries, provided they
keep on growing old at the pres
'ent rate.
In. 1856. the average age OF
was 81 years.
Forty years later the average
had jumped to sixty-three. In
the year 1923 it is sixty-seven
and few days. This denotes an
increase of about ten years a cen
fury. The dean of the academy
is NJ. de >Freycinet, who will be
95 next November.

is followed by NJ. d'Haussanville,

New York Worried
BY Sleeping Sickness

New York, March sleeping
sickness, following influenza at
tacks, has become prevalent II
New York city and particularly
in Brooklyn, more than three
times as many persons dying
from it since January / than
during the same period last year
according to the Department OF
Health. Since the first of the
year 81 people have died from
encephalitis lethargica, The tech
nical name of the disease, and
of that number &c were in Brook
Ign. Last year during the same
period 26 deaths occurred.
Health Department doctors
said that while the spread of the
disease was ominous, it was not
believed that it would reach cpl
demic proportions.
So far this year $40 cases have
been reported, nearly half of
them in Brooklyn. One of the
victims of sleeping sickness today
was DR.. Burton Harris, a we'll
known surgeon and former secre-
tary of the Medical Society OF
Kings County. He was SO years
old and had been in poor health
for some time.

Germany's Living Cost
Advances 136 Per Cent

Berlin, March 1.-THE cost OF
living in Germany increased in
February 1856 per cent. over Jan
nary, according to the official in
dex figure, which is fixed at q
SAB as compared with 1920 in the
previous month. Foodstuffs alone
increased 1873 per cent. and cloth
ing 1876 per cent.
Vorwarts calls attention to the
fact that wages increased at the
same time on the average iUO
per cent, and asks: IF we have
foreign prices, why not foreign
wages, tOo?"
The other newspapers note the
extraordinary rise in prices which
began with the Ruhr occupa-
ton and continued until the mid
die of February, since when a halt
was noticeable, and in some in
stances there has been a drop
in some commodities-those di-
rectly influenced by the exchange
rate.

Airship To Circle
Globe and Poles
Moffett Announces Plans
For Nays New Het-
ium Dirigible

New York, March When the
z RI, the Navy rigid dirgible
now being constructed, is put
into commission this summer, she
viii be sent on flight around
the wosld and on trips to the
North and South pole, Rear Adj
miral William A. Moffett, Chief
of the Naval Bureau Of Aero
nautics, announced last night in
an address broadcast from WIZ
by way of the Waldorf-Astoria.
He did not follow up this an
nouncement with details, but went
on TO discuss the radical changes
which aviation had brought about
with reference to the relation OF
foreign-owned possessions in the
West Indies to the United States.
Saying that Bermuda occupied the
same relation to the United
States that Heligoland did to
Germany during the World War,
he declared that the entire east
ern coast of the United States
was within easy aernautieai
bombing distance of this foreign
owned island.
Admiral Mofett prefaced his
brief statement regarding the
FRI with the following explana-
ton:
1.-THE development of rigid air
ships by joint agreement between
the army and the navy is left
in the hands Of the Navy's Bur-
eau of Aeronautics. In accord
anee with this agreement the
navy is rapidly completing the
huge rigid airShip at the Naval
Airship Station at Lakehurst, n.
J., the work being done in the
largest airship hangar in the
world. At the same time there
is being rushed to completion in
Germany another big rigid airship,
the IRIS. These two airships en-
brace the most improved factors
in design known to aeronautical
science, and when in commission
will be the forerunners of a large
fleet of such airships, which 1t
is hoped can be built and COM
missioned i'm the near future.
For long distance, sustained
flights, in carrying large loads.
the rigid airship is in a class by
itself. It's capacity to hover over
n given spot making. for great
accuracy in the dropping of bombs
and in directing gun fire, es-
tablish il as an effective weapon
for warfare far removed from the
coast and from available bases.
"Filled with helium, non-in-
flamable gas found only in large
quantities in the United States,
we have a tremendous factor in
naval warfare and an angency of
vital Importance to the national
defense"
Then Admiral Moffet said:
"The Fri, this country's and
the navy's first rigid drgible,
will go into commission about
July /. She will be sent on trops
over the principle cities of the
country, trips across country, a
trip around the world and to the
North and South poles. This dir
igible is now being built at Phil
adelyhia, and assembled at Lake
hurst, N. j."
