END OF CONTAGIOUS
DISEASE IS PREDICTED
Sociologist Declares Average Nor
NAL Life Will Soon Be
70 Years.
Rv the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. July 1S.-Edward Ais
worth Ross, noted SociologiSt and
editor Of the American Journal of
Sociology, writes in the August issue
Of Century Magazine that within this
century, at the present rate of prog
ress, science will have practically
eradicated communicable disease, and
people, of the more enlightened coun-
tries at least, probably will achieve an
average life of 20 years.
The article presents the conclusions
arrived at by DR. Ross after a world
wide survey of current activities in
medicine and hygiene.
Average life expectancy in America
he says, has risen from SO years in
1901 to 60 years today, while infant
mortality has been reduced from one
death in four to one in Ia within a
half century. A movement toward
health and longevity similar to that
in America he finds evident over the
world
Discussing each of the major scourges
that have been feared by man in the
observation-disclosures, malaria, yellow
fever diphtheria, bubonic plague and
others-Dr. Ross asserts that already
most Of these furies are chained and
the prospect Is bright that within a
lifetime all the chief mass-slayers will
be laid low"
AS a result, he concludes, the race
Of the fueure must curb it's birth rate
or face a serious problem Of overpopu.

DIARIES FOUND CLEANLY.
Owners Recognize Value to Prod
ucts They Sell.

Cleanliness has become byword
with the small dairy owner who
knows it's financial value to the prod
ucts he sells. Government study
shows.
One Of the first requisites is a
process for washing utensils. Wooden
steriliZing cabinets, lined with gall
vanized iron, have become popular.
They are used in conjunction with gal.
vanized iron wash sinks, divided into
separate compartments for washing
and rinsing.
1t has been found that washing is
made easier by rinsing utensils first,
later applying necessary amounts of
washing powder, either aIkali or
soda-ash. Water used in the operation
Is as hot as the hands will bear and is
at least slightly warm in the second
rinsing.
Thorough sterilization follows.

The general scheme Of this is under.
stood to be a 1928 ratio for cruisers
of 10000 tons. possibly coupled with
an agreement that smaller cruisers
should not exceed 5000 tons.
The agreement would be made for
term of years, possibly to 1881 or

OFFICIALS HERE ENCOURAGED
Conversations Merely Continued, How.
ever, 1t Is Stated.

By the Associated Press.
While advices from Geneva reflect
an encouraging turn in deliberations
of the Triparte Naval Conference, it
was said at the State Department
today that the prospective approach
to an understanding on miximum
.ruiser tonnage apparently represented
an extension of preliminary CONVEX
sations.
1t was said officially that, as far as
the Washington Government was ad.
vised, no agreement had been reached
and that reports from Ambassador
Gibson were not sufficiently explicit
to warrant official comment.
While the reported figure Of 100000
| tons as limitation upon total cruiser
and destroyer strength for Great
Britain and the Unied States would be
satisfactory to Washington officials,
the conditional clauses proposing in
addition retention of up to rs per cent
Of that tonnage in obsolete cruisers,
restrictions on 8-inch gun armament
and other factors would require care
full study. Retention of old ships
amounting to $4,000 to $4,000 tons
| would make actual cruiser tonnage
much higher than the United States
desires.

The idea of authorizing the mainte-

scrapping them Is looming as fairly
acceptable solution of the difficulty,
even If it raises the total tonnage far
above 500 900, because it is felt that
such warships cannot be considered
