LENCTHENING LIFE

Charts of the great life in- surance companies indicate that the life span remains at about the Biblical three score years and ten, despite the re- markable advances of chemist ry and science.
 And yet, in spite of all the talk of glands and operations, and the comic attempts to langthen the life of man, the idea that one day folks may re- main on earth a hundred or a hundred and fifty years does not seem ridiculous. But one

must wonder what would be the advantage of it. Man may prolong but cannot hope to es- cape the inevitable end; at least in his present state of consciousness. It will not re- move the hill of life to make its slopes longer. And it will not make it's climbing any eas- fer to prolong the journey. So, too, man cannot escape old age by putting it off. And if he do so, is he not robbing life of one of it's most charming phases?

DRY LEADERS FAVOR
BORAH IN CABINET
Appointment as Attorney General
Would Result in Fair Test Of
Prohibition, Jones Believes.

{ Reports to the effect that Senator
Borah of Idaho had been offered the
Office of Attorney General in the Hoover
cabinet are meeting with the approval
of dry leaders in Congress. Senator
Jones of Washington, in an interview
yesterday. said that he was delighted
to hear that Mr.. Hoover intends to ap-
point an Attorney General who believes
in and will enforce the prohibition law
and who will insist that the United
states district attorneys all over the
country will be held responsible for its
enforcement. I hope that it is cor
rect"
"That, in my. judgment, Senator
Jones continued, "as / stated on the
floor of the Senate some time ago, is
what should be done. Get attorneys all
over the country vino believe in prohi-
bition and who know that their con-
tinuance in Office depends upon their
earnestness and effectiveness in enforc-
ing the law and we will have the first
real, genuine test of prohibition that we
ever have had. Such an Attorney Gen.
eral also viii apply this same policy to
the United States marshals, and this
viii assist in effective enforcement.
s'Of course, will be delighted If Sem
ator Borah should be made Attorney
General, but would hate to lose him
from the Senate. AS Attorney General,
however, he win render the greatest pos
! sible service to the country and the
people. hope, at any rate, that man
as nearly like him as possible will be
made United States Attorney General. F"

Necessary by U. S.
Official.
BY J. C.. ROYLE.

A certain governmental regulation of
air transportation Of passengers and
freight is inevitable, but air transporta-
ton has not yet reached the stage
where it can be intelligently regulated
This was the opinion expressed today
by Clarence M. Young, Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce for Aviation. If any
lation Of air traffic, he added, 1t will
be premature and will not aid the
cause of aviation.
Air transportation of passengers
over established routes with established
schedules has become a fact" Mr.
Young continued. But even operators
have not had SUFFICIENT experience to
settle definitely on rates and costs.
Discrepancies exist over some air routes
at present, but that does not mean they
will exist permanently over all routes.
1.-The primary factor that operators
must consider is safe and reliable trans
portation, and the fixing of rates and
schedules must depend on that prin.
ciple. However, air TRANSPORTATION
operators will probably agree with me
that some kind of regulation is sched-
uled for the future, when the companies
are we'll under way in the way of
air routes, operating costs, rates and
other matters. An agency which at
tempts such regulations must be specif-
ically fitted for the work"
Thomas F. Hill, president of the
American Society for Promotion of
Aviation, has advocated to President
Hoover that as one step to advance
civilian aviation separate department
be created headed by a cabinet men,

tory problems.
