decreases. For the country as a whole the total

more than those of 1926

the value of her crops the previous year

One of the difficulties that beset those scen-
lists who are striving to proong the length of
human life is that confident and sufcient-unto-
the-day youth is careless of the subject and those
who have reached or passed middle age are
loaded with the burden OF paying the monthly
bills of the young and careless and cannot afford
to submitS themselves fer examination and ex-
permentation. The result is that the physicians
are forced to confine their scientific knowledge
and skill in practicing upon the Rockefellers,
Fords, Depews etc.

OF AGGRESSION
u. S. Finds Term a Stumbling
Block to Anti-War Pact
With France.

Negotiations between France and the
81 United States looking toward a treaty
to renoUnce war have thus far been
more or less in a deadlock because Of
an inability to agree on what kind OF
war should be "outlawed" France
insists that wars Of aggression" should
be denounced and that wars Of defense
should not be included. The United
States has been endeavoring 10 make
the definition all inclusive, but is ready
Il recognize the difficulties which
France and other nations have because
they may feel obligated under the
a League OF Nations covenant TO so 10
war under certain circumstances.
The question. then, is whether def
milton can be written which on the one
hand will satisfy the United States and
which on the other Will harWoni7e

the League feel toward each other
The solution may he found III the lam

means restricting the power Of those
two countries. while perhaps involving

o conflict should break out between

The disposition Of the American Gov
