/ These facts are true, notwith-
standing the fact that people whose
parents died young usually are Sc
lected much more carefully before
they are granted insurance, and
consequently these people constitute
better life insurance risks.
The increased life expectancy
varied from two and one-half years
additional at the age Of 25 to at
least one year additional even at
the age of so.
While the influence of heredity is
considerable so far as relates to
longevity, the statistics show that
under modern conditions, the eff
fects of environment are still far
more important than merely good
heTedity,

Good Heredity Is Factor in Long Life

BY the improvement Of death
rates from infant mortality and
infectious diseases, life expectancy
was advanced by more than twenty
years during the last fifty years.
1t is still quite true that per-
son who lives in filthy surround
ings and who is not careful as to
the food and water supply and his
personal hygiene has much lower
life expectancy than one who has
some knowledge of hygiene and who
lives in a community where sani-
tary conditions are excellent.
Given the same chance to avoid
infectious disease and accident as
the person with good heredity, from
the point of view of longevity, is
quite likely to outlive the one with
an unfavorable heredity.

TINE first attempt to work out
mathematical explanation OF
the movements of the sun was I'M
dertaken ~ EudoXus of Cnldus,
who lived from 408 to 355 B. G.
Eudoxus, as indeed thinkers for
centuries after him. assumed that
the sun, moon and planets revolved
around the earth. The earth, OF
course, was assumed to be the CEN
ter of the universe.
Eudoxus further assumed that
the heavenly bodies must move In
circles. The idea that the circle
was a perfect figure and that per-
lection must of necessity be an at
tribute of the heavenly bodies also
persisted for centuries.
Eudoxus, however. was confronted
with the complex motions Of the
sun, moon and planets, which did
not lend themselves easily to any
circular theory.
Accordingly he devised theory
in which the heavenly body moved
in a small circle, which in turn
moved around large one. This
was developed by his successors and
became known as the Ptolema.c syS-
TEN, because it received It's final
statement by Ptoleny.
Eudoxus accounted for the move
ments of the sun, moon and the
five planets known in his day by
imagining twenty-seven such circles
or more exactly, spheres, revolving
one within the other.
The Ptolemaic theory also was
known later as the theory Of cpl
cycles.
Greek astronomy reached its eli
max in the work of the so-called
Alexandrian school. It's members
included AristyllGs, Timocharis and
Aristarchus, who wrote treatise or
the sizes and distances of the sun

Eclipse
THALEs first came into

TNHALES 11rSC came unCo lame
l. among the Greeks, according
to story related by Herodotus, by
the prediction of an eclipse.
Many present-day astronomers
feel that it is impossible to verify
the reality of this eclipse. An older
generation of scholars, including
Airy, Hind and Zach, place its date
as May %, 585 B. G.
According to the account given by
Hefodotus, the eclipse which had
been predicted to the Ionians by
Thales, took place during a battle
between the Medes and Lydians and
the two contending armies, terror
lied by the eclipse, patched up a
truce under the impression that
their battle was displeasing to the
gods.
Thales made other discoveries, in
structing the Greek navigators to
steer by the constellation Of the
Little Bear instead of by the Great
Bear, as they formerly had done.
The north star is in the constel-
Iation of the Little Bear. These
two consultations are more fami-
liarly known today as the Big and
Little Clippers.
Plutarch credits Thales with hav-
ing taught that the earth was a
sphere. But modern scholars feel
that Plutarch was mistaken in this
conclusion.
The doctrine of the earth's spher-
icity first was announced by an
other Greek scholar, Pythagoras.
He based his theory, however, large
" on the work of Anaximander.
Pythagoras, in addition to launch
ing the idea that the earth was a
sphere poised freely in space, made
advances in the knowledge OF the
motion of the sun. He made his
studies between $40 and $40 B. Q.

Others Have Done Worse

MEANWHILE, and without ques-
IVl tioning the desirability of
cleaning up this Communist mess,
there are problems closer home we
well could afford to investigate. AS
DR.. Barnes Gays, we are forgetting
a hard winter to enjoy a red scare.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so
bad, but we are forgetting whole
lot more. Putting the worst possible
construction on their work, what
have the Communists done to cons
pare with the beer barons of Chi
cago? What have they put ovoE
that is as raw as the scandals un-
earthed in New York during the last
two years? What disturbance have
they created in any great American
city that equals the Detroit F'racas2'

Drawing the Line

Not, you understand, that I would
include Herbert Hoover in the great
clan of average men. 1 am no such
foe to democratic processes.
Jefferson, in the modern world,
would be even verse off than Lin
coin. His religious views would be
fatal to his candidacy.
1 have not mentioned Washington
because 1 have always felt that in
a very real sense he was anaverage
man-an average man glorified by
sublimacy difficult to identify and
define.
Please don't get the notion that
I am placing Coolidge on the same
leven with The father of his country.
Mr.. Coolidge's strength, both in
colmning and presidenting, lies in
the fact that he never loses sight of
his own deficiencies.

OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES
" said to live long one must Sc
lect parents who have lived long.
Statistics accumulated by several
investigators indicate that people
with long-lived parents have an
average life of two or three years
longer than those with parents who
have not lived long.
On an average, the death rate of
people whose parents lived long is
nearly 20 per cent less than those
of people whose parents lived for
shorter intervals, and in some cases
80 per cent.

An Average Man

WHEN the American Magazine
w undertook a few years ago to
select the average man, it certainlI
went far afield in sending its ex-
plorers all the way to Iowa. Mr..
Coolidge suits the role admirably
He has as much wisdom as the gen.
eral run of us Americans and no
more
In all fairness, it must be adj
mitted that the country did not GO
to wrack and ruin under his lead
ership. indeed, our Constitution
and traditions make It difficult fcl

Fewer Babies

Forty years ago the American birth rate was 81
for each 1000 of population Now it has declined to 1871
the census has revealed When declines to 49, as it
will if the present trend continues the population
will be expected to remain stationary, the only in
creases coming through such immigration is per-
mtted.
We are unable to join with those who see cause
for alarm in these figures
It is true that man mas interfered with Providence.
Birth control is practiced generally; people live in
apartments in cities instead of the soil and large
families are IMPOSSIBLE people marry later in life
than formerly; women are working and can't tend
babies; and so on.
But while we have fewer babies, we have better
babies, whose chances for happiness in life are
greater.
The declining birth rate, moreover, has been &C
complshed by the addition of years to the average
length of life Where 100 children died of diphtherA
thirty years ago five die Where thirty -four per-
sons out of every 100 oied of typhoid five die now.
Examples could be multiplied.
It has been only few years since scientists were
perturbed because they feared the earth would not
produce enough food for the growing population. Now
the same story of lower birth rates is coming from
England Germany, Italy, Scotland, and other coun-
tries.
Calculating future population is like trying to
figure out the multiplication of guinea pigs chick
ems few pairs, if they produced according to
mathematical expectancy, would in short time have
the surface of the globe covered several feet thick with
guinea pigs or chickens But they never conform to
expectancy.
This same principle is found in studying diseases
which at different periods become prevalent. 1t can
be figured that if the spread of the disease continues
at a given rate, the will be wiped out. But II
never is.

A MTORG is the name Of a cor

be in good standing with the Soviet
government. Barring one. all have
been members of the Communist
party, but resigned on coming TO
America. 1t is commonly under
stood that they will be allowed to
rejoin the Communist party when
they go back.
Naturally enough, Amtorg has
been charged with being a clearing
house for Communist activities, with
circulating literature, dispensing
funds, and supervising an alleged
spy system. The charge rests on
inference rather than information.
but has been supported by men OF
influence, such as former Police

Under the circumstances, 1t was
quite proper for the Fish commit

has come to determine whether the
great business this corporation does
Is a smoke screen for political agi-
tation, or whether it has been made
the victim Of unjust charges.
The most important thing brought
out in the testimony thus far is the
fact that Amtorg has obtained cred

it may have done to promote Com
munism, 1t has done a lot more TO
