APPEARANCE OF SUN, AS RED BALL OF
 FIRE, AND OBSCURINC OF MOON ALSO BY
 REDDISH HAZE, IS CAUSING SPECULATION

KETCHlKAN, Alaska. Sept. 26.- The appearance here of peculiar smoke has led to the belief that a volcano eruption may have caus- ed the earth shocks recorded in the Eastern and Western part of the United States early last Sat urday. The disturbance is esti- mated to have centered off the Alaskan Coast.
 Since Sunday, the sun has had an appearance of a red ball of fire and the moon has nearly been obscured by reddish haze.
 Capt. Pitcher, of Prince of Wales, and Capt. Gus Nord, ,f the Aleutian, are certain the red dish veil is the result of a yol- canic disturbance and expressed surprise no reports have been re- ceiyed of an eruption.

4. E. F.'s Epic Battle
 Of Argonne Recalled
 On Tenth Anliuersdry
By ALEXANDER R. GEORGE GA. p. Feature Writer)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-To- day on the tenth anniversary of the beginning of the battle of the Bloody Argonne," America turns again to a glorious chapter in her military history.
 Less spectacular in the public eye at the time than the dashing valor of Cantigny and Chateau | Thierry, the Meuse-Argonne of fensive stands out in the records of the war department as. the su- preme achievement of the Ameri- can Expeditionary Forces in France. After 47 days of desper- ate combat in the wilderness of the Argonne, the Tanks accomp- lished what six months before had appeared impossible, driving the Germans from almost impregnable positions.
 Frontal Attack
 The St Mihiel offensive earlier in September had reduced the last salient in the German lines and the Allies were compelled to stage frontal attack. The Meuse-Ar- gonne territory formed the bottle neck through which the Germans planned to make orderly withdraw als as the Allies pushed them back. Nowhere else on the vest ern front were their defenses built on such solid foundations.
 On the rolling hills and in the almost impenetrable forest, the Germans had five lines of defense. The first was the famous Hinden- burg line, elaborate concrete en- trenchments with vast areas of wire stretched in front. Back of the Hindenburg line was a sup port line known as the Hagen Stel- lung while farther to the rear was a powerfully organized system of trenches.
 Trocp Concentration
 FOf launcnlng the attack In con- junction with the advance of allied forces along the entire front, Gen. Pershing had the greatest concen- tration of American troops in his tory. There were 22 American divisions and total of 631, ,405 men. Under Pershing's command were also 13s,000 French while the German and Austro- Hungarian forces numbered 607,212. At the beginning of the operation, there were 508 United States airplanes in the Argonne sector.

Death comes, then, according
to Pearl, because our bodies are
made up Of systems specialized in
structure and function. In be-
coming specialized, their cells
have become so differentiated that
they have lost the power OF In
definite and independent exist
ence. Thus the cells lining our
lungs can be nourished only II
the cells OF the food tract and the
blood keep on the job. Some sys-
TENS are better made than others.
The brain outwears the heart, the
heart outwears the lungs.
The striking agreement as to
the causes of death which Pearl
finds In such dissimilar countries
as England, the United States,
and Sac Paulo, force him to con-
clude that innate constitutional
factors, along with environmental
factors, largely determine rates Of
human mortality. In certain
diseases, of course, environment
is the important factor.
The causes of death, Pearl
finds, are in the following descend
ing order: Respiratory system;
digestive system; circulatory sys-
tenn and blood; nervous system
and sense organs; kidneys and
related excretory organs; sex or
gans; skeletal and muscular ays-
tenn: skin; endocrine organs. Or,

seemed to her friends, got wholly
down 10 earth. Ambition kept
her aloft great deal and dreams
lifted her, and beauty and hap
piness and all sorts of similar
things.
Not that she wasn't practical
enough and sensible, too; it just
was that Wings" never was in

The heights have been her native
element always.
''Four-foot," on the other hand,
couldn't fly IL he wished. He is
one of those dependable, wholly
unimaginatiVe, materialistic but
kindly persons, without a grain OF
adventure In his whole being.
And 1t was just his unaccount-
able luck one day to be going
along peacefully enough and fall
in love with a shadow which fell
athwart his path. It was the
shadow OF Wings" thrown upon
the earth from the height where
she flew.
And Wings" looked down and
saw "Four-foot" moving along
so dependably and securely, and
she, too fell in love.

lungs were as good as our heart.
The death rates show certain
important age and sex fluctua-
lions. Early infancy deaths are
heavy. There Is then a sharp
drop until the 10-15-year period.
when the rate begins to rise to
the 20.25 year period. There
after the rate rises slowly until
the 50-55-year period, when it
begins to rise again rapidly.
The death rate from failure of
circulatory system rises steadily
from maturity until the eighty.
fifth year, when 1t slows down.
But between the fifth and thirty
fifth years this rate is higher in
females than in males. presumably
