Marriage Brings
Heightened Life,
Says German Data

BERLIN. June
tends to prolong life, the weaker
SEX lives longer than the strong
err" and the average life has since
1871 been heightened by 20 years.
are the conclusions drawn by the
most recent official German vital
records and mortality statistics.
In 1871. these records show. the
average feminine life in Germany
was 38.5 years. and the masculine
average 35.5. For. the period 1924
TO 1926. however. the average girl
baby could look forward to 58.S
years Of life, and her brother to Sc
years.
For the boy or girl who grew up
safely as far as 20 years of age.
the prospects were still better. "A
young man Of twenty in 1871
could only count on reaching the
age of SIS: but his grandson. a
young man Of twenty in 1927. could
safely look forward to Sc Dr. 81
years.
The figures show indisputably
an average Of five years more for
married folk. both men and women.
Whether this fact be regarded as
proof that people become stronger
through marriage. or again, as an
indication that only the strong
dare TO marry. must remain a mat
ter Of taste or prejudice. The Off
cial statistics maintain strict sill
ence on the point.

joint committee which censured j.
p. Robson. commissioner Of the
general land office, for certain of
his official acts. especially his al
legged lax administration Of the re-
appraisement fund Of 1925.
Consensus seems to be to let the
matter rest where IL Is. 1t Is
pointed out that the suggestion
made to the attorney generals de-
partment to sue for a strict &C
counting Of the fund ought to wind
up the whole unpleasant affair to
the satisfaction OF everyone.
Avoid WrangIe
Every member hopes to avoid any
prolonged wrangle looking TO the
bringing Of Impeachment charges
against the longtime state off
cial. Representative Grady Wood
ruff OF Decatur gave notice during
the regular session that he would
push action by the legislature "in
Justice to the state as well as %
Mr.. Robson" But there IS a
soberer thought which seems am
pie to stem the tide. Observers
do not believe Mr.. Woodruff'S
movement will attract little more
than the well-known "corporal'S
guard"
Considering this an accurate dis
poSal OF the Robson matter. there
looms ahead only columns and VOL
umes or figures
Expenses of the state government
for the next biennium viii be COM
puted and finally totalled between
$40. 900. 900 and $50. 600, 600.
Increase Tax
Considerable adding and sub
tracing will be done to arrive az
financial needs OF the highway de-
partment for the next two years
and. this fixed. the legislators will
get down to brass tacks and pass
an adequate gasoline tax and mo-
tor vehicle registration bills. Nc
one Is able 70 say whether the gas
tax will be three cents or four, but
1t IS pretty safe to say the pres
ent two cent tax will be increased
by either so or 100 per cent. Like
wise. 1t IS not an invasion OF the
realm OF speculation to state that
the present registration fees VIII
be reduced some IS per cent. These
deductions come naturally from the
attitude exhibited during the reg
ular and first sDecial sessions.
Nothing Much Left
With the figuring out OF the
way. there will be nothing much
left TO dispose OF except regula-
ton or public utilities, taking FOR
granted tho governor will give a
trial 70 the prison concentration
bill Matched out in the closing days
Of the first called session.
Prognostlcators are not giving
regulation OF public utilities much
chance. The proposition was con-
sidere5 very thoroughly in the past.
The many factions with their vary
ing ideas could not get together
The legislators are due for a spell
81 inconsistencies when they get
through with their figuring.
