Not How Long, But
How Useful

Clover, claimed to be the old
est horse in the world, soon has
his hfty-6rst birthday. He is
well cared for in his old age by
his owner, a retired clergyman.
In stable at Catawissa, Pa,
Clover has a double blanket
and insulated stall, the finest of
bran mash and oats-in short,
everything to make him the en-
wy of less fortunate old horses.
Jockey Club of New York pen
sions him.
The oldest horse in the world

"Clover's youngster, will
say the elephant, who usually
lives to $50 or 200 years. En-
phatic mods of approval from
the parrot. eagle, tortoise, croco-
ollie and raven-all Of whom
have century as their life
span.
But Clover will be envied by
the proud peacock, which lives
only "a years at most, about
the same longevity as the toad.
Beavers frequently live SO
years, lions 90, cats is. But it's
a lucky horse that lasts IS or
80 wears, so Clover is a real ex-
ception. SCIENTIST should ex-
anime him, try to find out what
has made him live so long. He
is like a man living 200 years.

Some trees live for thousands
of years.
There must be some definite
purpose--some reason why all
these various forms Of life are
included in natures plans. But
it is difficult to understand why
the useless parrot lives four
times as long as the horse and
almost twice as long as man.
The average monkey, in his
natural jungle state. lives 10
to 20 years. Man now lives an
average of SO years in our
country, We are a healthy
race, not far behind the New
Zealanders. They are the long
est-lived of all nations, round
ing out 90 years on the average
before death intervenes.
In 1870, according to medical
statisticians, Americans died at
an average of 4 compared
with SO now. Matured people,
however, die about the same
age as in the past. The Az
ERAGE of human life has been

COSTLY

The three big political parties Will
spend 10 million dollars this year
in electing president, experts esti-
mate.
There's no way of figuring the
cost of the time and energy expend-
ed in arguments among voters and
in the individuals search for the
right candidate to vote for.
Ten million dollars, a lot Of
money. But it's our cheapest form
of education. The average voter
wouldn't know anything about poll
tics, and not much more about eco
homics, if we didn't have the sitpa-
ton thrown into the spotlight every
four years, and made interesting
by its elemnt of contest.

GAIN

Our country's exports to South
America this year have averaged
around "a million dollars a month.
It's a very satisfactory gain over
1928.
Unfortunately, South America
has been selling us $27 worth of
goods for every SIT we sold them.
1t looks as if the books will balance
154 million dollars in South Areri-
cas- favor for the whole lear 1924.
