LIFE EXPECTATION

Public Health Service Tells
of DISEASED Control TriumphS
of Last Two Decades.

To every child born in 1880 medical
science, in the old fairy tale role of
God father, says: you may logically
expect to have 10 years more of living
than the 1910 baby"
Expectation of life at birth has been
increased from 48 to So years in the

Is today's good news from the United
States Public Health Service.
To the long campaign against infant
mortality, and to increased public
health activities throughout the land,
the Public Health Service attributed

factors in the longer life span.
No child need now die CT smallpox

Scarlet fever has become so mild

wholesale immunizaticn, but it is pos

Typhoid fever is well guarded against

a psychological time. Miss Baker
feels now that talking films are

Another factor that influenced
Miss Baker to make her Debut az

CHICAGO, September 4.-Weather
forecasting a week in advance through
measurement of the heat given off by
the sun is believed by Smithsonian
Institution officials to be probable
scientific adventure of the future.
DR.. Charles G. Abbot, secretary OF
the institution, yesterday told the
American Astronomical Society that
wears of observation had shown that
the suns warmth radiated varies from
day to day and the earth's temperature
varies in response to these short period
changes.
May Be Epoch Making.
Should the prospect of weather fore
casting on the basis of solar radiation
be realized, DR.. Abbot held that the
Smithsonian's announcement would
stand as one of the epochs in the his
tory of meteorology. 1t represented
more than 80 years of continuous in
Although he and his associates had
long known definitely that the amount
of solar radiation varied and had fore
seen a resultant influence on the
earth's temperature, he added, THIS Is
the first time that unmistakable proof
of large influence had been obtained
by them
Proof in DefiectionS.
The proof lies, DR.. Abbott said, in
the fact that since January l, 1924,
whenever solar radiation increased or
decreased continuously for period OF
four or five days to a maximum or
minimum, the temperature at Washing
ton and other stations showed definite
detection up or down, beginning four
DAYS before and continuing till az least
four days after.
The scientist said the influence oper-
ates through some atmospheric me-
chanism as vet not understood and was
not a direct result Of the solar change.
In some months a rise in solar radia-
ton was held to cause q rising tenn
perature. while in other months
similar rise caused a falling tempera-
ture.
Until the reasons for this differ
ence in effect at different seasons is
found. he said, it would be risky to
undertake weather forecasting upon re-
suits thus far.
