WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Length
Of human life is progressing toward
the promised biblical span Of three
score and ten years" according to
new figures of the United States
public health service.
The average span has increased
from tWenty-one years during the
sixteenth century to fifty-nine years
in the twentieth century. The COM
/ parison is based on historical re-
search.
During the period 1901 to 1900 the
average length of human life at
Geneva was twenty-one years and
during the intervening centuries up
to the present it has gradually in
creased until figures recently tabu-
lated in Wisconsin show f1fty-nine
years. There has been a gain of
fifteen years since 1900.
DR.. Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon
general of the public health serv-
ice attributes the increase to steady
improvement in living conditions
