FOR DISABLED.
SAYS HINES

Government hospitals for disabled
veterans of the world war, Brig.

so that available beds may be ap-
portioned to sections where they
are most needed.
AS a further step to establish
greater uniformity in caring for
incapacitated veterans, Director

POSTOFF|CES TO
BE IMPROVED
IN CHICAGO
Congressional Commission Adj
,vocates Bigger and More
Efficient Stations.

CHICAGO, June 16.-Construc-
ton of larger postoffice buildings,
more efficient than monumental, Is
one of the principal things to be
recommended by the joint con-
gressional postal commission finish
ing in Chicago a national, three
Year investigation.
A statement, authorized by the
commission secretary, candidly ad-
mits the legislative problem to be
presented to Congress aims to lift
the postal service from inefficiency
bred of war and postwar conditions
to business plane.
Conditions in all big cities were
found to be about the same, the
commission said. These included
inadequate housing and labor and
"hampering with red tape" EN-
barrassing delays in service were
attributed in the main to inadequate
space. The legislative program will
take into consideration the prospec-
tive needs of the next ten years.
The commission hopes to elinli-
nate what were described as ex.
orbitant rentals for substations aud
their fixtures.
The membership of the commits
sion includes Senators Thomas
Sterling, of South Dakota; George
III. Moses, New Hampshire; David
/. Walsh, Massachusetts,, and
Kenneth D. Mcclellan, Tennessee;
and Congressman w. w. Griest,

Of LIFE
INCREASING,
He SAYS
Insurance Actuary Thinks
Three Score and Ten Will Be
Replaced by Century.
BY ROLAND KREBS.
International News Service.

CHICAGO, June Jeff we took
as good care of ourselves as we do
of our flivvers the race would reach
such a point of hardihood that
gland operations would not be
needed. said James D. Craig, OF
New York, Metropolitan Life In.
surance Company actuary, in an
Interview today
He is here attending a national
meeting Of the American Institute
Of Actuaries. An actuary, for
those who don't know it, is man
who, when you come in for insur-
ance, looks at you once and knows
whether you eat lobster a la New
burgh and drink lightning liquor
in such quantities as to make you
a bad risk. He computes the
length Of ones life.
Slowly, with the help of science
and medicine, Craig said, the hui
man race is attaining health which
will lengthen the life Of the aver
age man past the three score and
ten allotted by the Bible and bring
it near the century mark. In the
last generation alone. he said, four
or five years have been added to
the life of the average person.
Craig attributed illness and short
ness of life in a great measure to
neglect.
1.-THE whole secret of longevity is
to arrest illness in it's inception, -
he said. 1--WE are doing that with
babies and even with persons in
their twenties. Giving them a
sound constitution in youth better
fits them to withstand disease as
they grow older.
For example, If all infantile suf.
ferers from tuberculosis were sent
to sanitariums in their infancy, 1
dare say 80 per cent would be re-
turned to normal. life with some
thing very nearly approaching
sound health. But, let phthisis get
it's hold on a youngster and it will
be master in years to come"
Craig was skeptical as to the
ability Of the average of human be.
ings to pass 100 years of life.
II don't know whether gland
operations could accomplish that
or not" he said II should think
that gland operation at best
would be temporary, just like put
ting a new part into an automo-
bile-it helps it along temporarily
but 1t isn't new car

there are so many organizations.

contribute who are procrastinating
that it looks now as though an

canvas will be necessary"
Chairman Jose stated that the
army wants to open it's fresh air
camp for under-nourished and
under privileged children on July

year will require about $1,000.
Other lines of work will fail also if
