Death now does not come to the av-
erage American until he is nearly SO
years old. So claims the statistician
of a large insurance company.
When the Civil war started, the av-
erage duration OF life was only about
40 years. In George Washington's day
it was around 80.
Mark, these are average figures. The
gain has been made chiefly by cutting
the death rate among young children,
especially babies. People who reach
maturity don't live any longer than
formerly, if so long. Fewer die in
early youth, that's all.

WINTER.

Winter building is urged by Herbert
Hoover to stabilize employment and
prices in the building trades and con-
struction industries. It's certainly
desirable, but it will be next to impos-
sible to accomplish, even with money
inducements. Man is animated by
savage impulses and one of the strong
est of these is to build his nest in
spring and summer, ahead of the cold
months.
The most complex economic prob
lens are, after all, simple natural proc
esses.

THE SAINT IN POLITICS.

How much does the Occidental world know
about India? Very little indeed. What are the
facts? Nearly four hundred million Hindus
are governed by few thousand Englishmen,
who do not understand them The British
government is every day. becoming more and
more unpopular The non-co-operation move
ment under Gandhi's leadership has not been
suppressed by the arrest and Imprisonment of
that extraordinary man.
Gandhis real crime" from the British
standpoint. is that he has created among the
Hindu masses a sentiment hostile to England.
What has puzzled British judges in India is
that, even when they have imprisoned Gandhi,
he continues to preach non-violence. He has
coined word "Satyagraha," which embodies
his political creed 1t means "Truth-Force,"
and it indicates that those to whom it applies
will be solely guided by their conscientious ad-
'hesion to truth, and that they must strive to
win over even their enemies to their side by
patience and gentleness. At the same time,
the believers in "Satyagraha" are told 90 break
DAVIS which they consider unjust, accepting the
penalty Of the civil tribunals calmly.
The act for which Gandhi was arrested was
his entrance into the Punjab in violation Of a
government order requiring him to keep out of
it. Both Hindus and Mohammedans were OPP
posed to his doctrine of non-violence. But in
One Vi HIS dIClClSS Ill IOuNB lIula ne quoted
the Mahabharata and the Koran to prove that
the Brahminical and the Mohammedan religi-
ons condemn violence. When some of his fol-
lowers resorted to violence, in spite of his APP
peal to them, he tasted as an atonement for
their offense.
The great Hindu poet, Rabindranath Tagore,
does not agree with Gandhi's policy of non-co-
operation as "a protest against unwritten and
unwilling participation in evil" He holds that
the British schools in India have unnamed
and denationalized their Hindu students, who
should, therefore, refuse to cooperate with
England in making them slaves. 1T is as nee
essary," says Gandhi, ito reject untruth as to
accept truth"
Manifestly what this man aims at is the
emancipation of the Hindu mind. His coun-
trymen look upon him as saint, and. accord
ing to his lights, he is saint.

Washington. - When the Prince Of

The mystery of that much-pictured

Dawes, President Coolidge's running
mate, is at last explained.
1t helps Dawes keep cool with Cool
idge.
Not that the smoke serves as a
sedative and thus keeps the high-strung
Dawes pulling pleasantly with the
calmly contemplative Cal, though it
may have that effect, too, but the smoke
from this particular brand of pipe is
supposed to have lost all of its heat
and bite before it reaches the mouth of
the vice presidential pipe puffer.
The stem of the Dawes pipe, as you
have noted from the pictures, is af-
fixed at the cop, not the bottom of
the bowl. But it enters merely an
outer shell.
There is an inner bowl containing
the tobacco, which is screwed into
the outer bowl. This inner contaiper
has it's opening at the bottom. Con-
Meeting the stem in the outer she'll
