| LODGE At
DEATHS
DOOR
sspator Still Unconscious,
With Doctors About Ready
to Abandon Hope

BOSTON, Nov. Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, senior Massa,
|chusetts Senator, was in til.
shadow Of death at the Charles
gate Hospital today. The Senator
recently underwent two opera.
tons for obstruction Of the blad.
der from which he was said to b
recovering. Shock is responsible
for the gravity Of his present
condition.
At 2 o'clock this morning, Doc.
tor John H. Cunningham said the
Senator's condition was unchanged
since midnight. Doctor Cunning,
ham said that even if Senator
Lodge survived the present attack
he would be left q hopeless para.
lytic. Ellis condition must be re-
garded as critical" Doctor Cum
ningham said.
Suffers Sudden Relapse.
Senator Lodge was operated on
for gall stones at Charlssgate Hos
pitaI on July "a. The operation was
considered successful and his re-
covery from 1t remarkable, in view
Of his age. He returned to his
summer home at Nahant after only
a brief stay In the hospital.
He was operated on a second time,
October 20, with the intention OF
preventing any recurrence Of the
conditions which led 10 the first
operation.
Again his recovery was believed
good and the bulletins Of his condi.
ton reported steady gains until the
relapse at noon yesterday.
Doctor Cunningham, who at.
tended Senator Lodge at both opera.
tons, was called as soon as the
Senator's condition was known to
be serious and was watcher at
his bedside all last night.
At 9:45 o'clock today, Doctor Gun.
ningham issued the following bulle.
tin:
Senator Lodges condition con.
tinuee exactly the same. He may
continue in this condition for some
time, but 1t is impossible at the
present moment to state what the
outcome Of his condition will be.
anticipate no immediate change
In Senator Lodges condition.
Doctor Cunningham announced he
would issue other bulletins later.
Doctor Cunningham summed up
the history of Senator Lodges III.
ness in the following statement:
On July 81, Senator Lodge suf.
fered an acute retention from pro.
static obstruction. An emergency
operation was performed, from
which the patient made good re-
covery.
THE period from then on until
the second operation was one OF
adjustment from the acute condi.
ton precipitated by the retention.
On October 20, the second operation
was performed.
'"The Senator's convalescence was
surprisingly good.
"ae was out of bed on tho third
day and sat up daily thereafter,
reading and debating letters, and
the indications were that he would
leave the hospital next week with
every assurance of being in better
health than he had been for some
time previous to the operation ana
there was every indication that he
would be present at the opening Of
Congress on December 1.
Yesterday at noon he was sud
denly seized with q stroke and be.
came unconscious. He has re.
manned unconscious since. and his
condition must b considered criti.

PROF kSSOR SEES
TIME WHEN ALL
LAUGH IS GONE
Men of Future VIII Know
Too Much to Be
Amused.

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-Professor
Charles Gray Shaw Of the philosophy
department at New York University,
predicted recently before a summer
school audience that there was little
genuine laughter left and that the
time was coming when there would
not be laugh left in the entire
world.
DR.. Shaw said primitive men did
not know enough to laugh, since Wit
involves a certain amount OF intelh'
gence. and that the men Of the flu
ture would know too much to laugh
at anything. He even told his audi
ence that in the sober period Of sclen-
tifc and social thought there might
be museums that would preserve
our Jokes and comics the way we
keep the memorials Of the stone
age. And that case, he said, would
be labeled THE Age Of Laughter.
DR.. Shaw pointed out that man.
kind used TO laugh at incongruity
and inequality: that men used 10
laugh at Columbus and Calico and
now try to joke about Einstein and
Freud. Now, he said, the comic
figures Of the past are taking leave;
we no longer laugh at the old maid,
bobbed hair or matrimony, ana the
Eighteenth Amendment has killed
the Joke about the drunken man.
I'm place of such comical figures
we keep up a dying laughter by an
appeal to bananas and flivvers,' says
DR.. Shaw. Anything for the sake
of a laugh. Even men and women
are no longer funny and we have
to substitute a makeshift by laughing
at animals
He predicts that war and laughter
will depart, hand in hand.
DR.. Shaw finds there IS only one
thing to look forward TO, and that
will be the hearty guffaw of the per
son who laughs last and therefore
laughs best.

EUROPE WITHU.S.
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
Smaller Engine Not New in
France
BIZ NEA Serrice

BIZ NEA SeTUfce
LONDON. July 12.-European
countries are stepping along with
America in the development. Of auto
mobiles.
The smaller engine is nothing now
in France and other countries, and.
as a matter of fact, has been a prod
uce of necessity on the continent.
The straight eight is another achieve
mert of European auto science, and
a third is the development toward
the use of crude oil as fuel in inter
nal combustion engines.
An internal combustion engine, be-
ing shown at the British Empire Elk
hibition at Wembley Park, is de-
signed for operation on the lowest
grade of fuel. 1t is for stationary
use, although 1t points toward the
design of a similar engine for auto
motive practice.
A German manufacturer has come
out with a straight eight engine,
with all Of the cylinders and the up
per part Of the crankcase cast in one
block of aluminium. The distinctive
features of this car include fan
blades on the 1ywheel to draw smoke
and fumes from the engine beneath
the GLASSES and a dummy radiator
that is built to give the effect of g.
V-type, but has a fat core.
In France a new six-cylinder en-
CINE has been made for increased
speed and with decreased piston dis
placement, the very features Ameri-
can engineers are developing. Other
features are positive valve-closing
mechanism, detachable water jacket.

AROUND IS YEARS
NAMES AVERAGE ACE
HIGHER Than IN j. s.

Especial to The Kennebec Journal)
Bangor, Me-. Sept. 11.-More than
63 per cent. of persons who die In
the State of Maine live to be more
than so years of age. according to
DR.. Clarence F. Kendall. State COM
delivered here tonight before one Of
the sessions of the annual meeting
of the Maine Public Health Associa-
ton. In discussing Names mortal
ity statistics for 1923. DR.. Kendall
pointed out that the average age at
death in Maine Is much higher than
the average for the United States.
Names average is 52.75 years.
During 1923, of the total number
of 1903 Maine deaths at all ages,
there were 253 above the age of 90
years or more than two percent of
the total number. or these, there
were seven men and women who
reached or passed the century mark.
By far the greater number of deaths
occurred between the ages of Is and
80 than at any other similar period
of life. The highest mortality of
all was among infants of less than
one year of age. A total of 1850 of
these potential Maine citizens died
before their first birthday. or all
deaths in Maine during the year.
1854 percent occurred during the
first year Of hfe.- The greater num-
Der of these infant deaths. DIR. Ken
dali pointed out. could have been
prevented.
The lowest death rate and the
smallest number OF deaths from tu-
berculosis in the history of Maine
was recorded in 1923, DR.. Kendall
continued. Six hundred and four
teen deaths from this disease were
reported as compared with $50 dur
ing 1922 The death rate from tu-
berculosis In Maine in 1923 was 1872
per 10000 population as compared
with 9.5 for the United States as a
whole. according to the latest fig
ures-1021-issued by the depart
ment of the census.
Maine deaths from typhoid, infan-
tile paralysis. diphtheria and scar
let fever have been greatly reduced
during the past few years. The to-
tai number Of Maine deaths from
