j Chicago, June : O0 - The wag who asked ''why do married men
 live longer than single ones" and
 then answered they don't, it only
 seems longer" was wrong in only
 one respect. They do.

 Out of every 1000 men from 25 to A, those who died unclude tif- teen who are divorced, five who are single and only four who are mar ried from 35 to A years, the mar ried man is even more safe for eighteen divorced men, fourteen single ones and only seven married ones die. Between the ages of 56 and 64. fifty-six divorced men. forty mine bachelors and only twenty-nine married men die.
 Above 65, Dr. Bundesen asserted, the ratio is even more favorable to the espoused group.

In addition to the legislative duties reposed upon all members of the common council, John A. Larson. who has been a fourth ward representative for the past three years, has semi-judicial obligations as chairman of the claims committee,
 Various kinds of demands against the city for damages are acted upon at almost every meeting Of the council. The bulk of business handled by the claims committee arises from falls on icy sidewalks. although there are many others. The committee over which Council man Larson prcsides hears the facts in every case and applies the law as interpreted by the corporation counsel. AttestinG 10 the judicious and fair minded work of Larson's com mittee is the fact that there are very few appeals from it's find ings and reversals in the courts are most unusual.
 Larson entered the common council in 1923 and was re- elected last year. He is now in the second year of his service as claims committee chairman. (TNe foregoing is one of q series lum bnail biographies of clfr officia hich the Herald is publishing daily.)

assigned detectives to the task ana
quietly sent a detailed description Of
