FORT TO STEER
CLEAR OF RUM
ISSUE IN TALKS
Hoover Spokesman Intends
to Dwell on Economic
Policies.
BY BEN STERN

Economic policies OF the Hoover
administration, including tariff.
drough relief, business depression
and the long time business Stabiliga-
ton will be the themes Of addresses
to be delivered in Indiana by Frank
lin Fort of New Jersey. former sec
rotary of the G. 0. P. national COM
mittee, who will be the Presidents
spokesman in the midwest area.
Fort, who was showed under BY
Dwight Morrow in the New Jersey
senatorial primaries. because of his
defense Of Anti-Saloon League tao
tics. will not touch upon the topic of
prohibition. It was indicated, but he
will be the envoy without portfolio"
Of the President to the central
area.
Importance of Forts proposed Ut
terances in Indiana may be gagged
from the fact that before leaving
Washington Monday for Chicago to
arrange his itinerary. he conferred
with Hoover at the White House.
Refuses TO Comment
Following his conference, Fort re-
fused to discuss the conversation.
but White House officials indicated
the meeting had been arranged so
the President might outline his
views on economic policies. In that
event, Forts Indiana speeches
closely would reflect the major
strategy of the national campaign.
Tentative program for Fort in IN
diana calls from him to speak in
the steel mill area in Lake county
Thursday, in the Thirteenth district
Friday and be the principal orator
at Republican barbecue and pole
raising at Oswego in the Thirteenth
district Saturday.
Failing health of Senator James
e. Watson, who planned to make
thirteen addresses in Indiana in the
campaign has caused the Republican
national committee to send to this
state some of its own high powered
orators, for the congressional fight
here is being carefully watched.
Treasure to Speak
Among the orators scheduled are:
w. o. Woods, treasurer of the
United States, whose itinerary will
begin Friday afternoon at South
Bend, that night at Elkhart, ard
Saturday at Logansport. During
the following week he will speak at
Bedford. Richmond and Centerville.

POSTAL PROBE
IS IN PROSPECT
Deficit Reduction Efforts
Quiz Is Demanded.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ATTEMPTS
Of Postmaster General Walter D.
Brown to reduce the postal deficit
by recognizing mail handling sys-
TENS in many large cities, probably
will lead 70 a congressional probe
of the postal systems.
Two Pennsylvania congressman,
Representative Clyde Kelly of
Pittsburgh and Representative
Samuel A. Kendall of Meyersdale,
today advocated a probe of recent
service changes as soon as con-
gress reconvenes in December.
According to complaints reaching
both congressman, widespread dis
satisfaction exists in Pittsburgh,
Buffalo, New York, Philadelphia,
Cincinnati and other cities where
mail handling changes have been
put into effect following recon-
mendations of corps Of postal
inspectors.
Although the postofflce depart
ment insists no regular employees
have lost their positions as the re-
suit of new methods of delivery and
collection of mail, Representative
Kelly says the changed system will
deprive many substitute carriers of
needed employment.
Representative Kendall contends
Postmaster-G General Brown is plac-
ing undue emphasis on the postal
deficit, while the public's chief de-
mand is for service.

WOMAN'S LIFE
CHANCE BETTER,
AYERS EXPERT
Weaker Sex Beginning to
Live Longer Than Men,
Survey Shows.
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN
limited Press gtsn Correspondent

CHICAGO, oct. LII you're a
middle aged woman, whether you
admit it OF not, you stand a much
better chance to live to ripe old
age than a man of similar years,
the experts on such things agreed
tonight.
Wendell P. Coler of st. Louis, who
spends most of his waking hours
studying life charts and making
graphs for 1876 insurance companies
50 that they may govern their rates
accordingly, explained the situation
for about 800 representatives OF
those companies.
Coler, of studious mein and SOM
Der clothes as BELTS man who
iuggIes the life and death prospects
of the human race, said that Amer
lea apparently is becoming a nation
of older people.
Jump of Ten Years
oThe general life expectancy OF
all Americans seems to have gone up
in the last score or so of years from
about az to 3d." he said. This IS
due mostly to the smaller number OF
babies who die today. When IL
comes to those of mature age, the
life expectancy of women appears
to be increasing, while that OF men
seems to be breaking down"
Coler intimated that women take
more interest in their figures and
hence in their diets than do men.
women, Furthermore. have more
leisure, usually get more rest and
have more absorbing interests ana
hobbies than their husbands, he ex-
planned. H.
The latter spend so much time
grubbing for living and, tnen
Worrying about it that Coler's sta
tistics show they die somewhat
younger than their wives.
Woman Nearly Sure Bet
"A woman of say As to so in good
health is almost a sure bet TO QUIZ
live a man of the same age and
same apparent health" he con-
tinued
"Women's situation is improving
steadily. Women are having fewer
children and there are less deaths
during child birth. Women as a
whole are having an easier life, less
drudgery. better care and are I'M
proving In health.
Men apparently are finding busl-
ness competition too great a strain
and they are dying consequently
more often of heart disease in the
fifties and sixties
Over Period of Years
Coler's complicated schedules,
compiled over a long period of
years, revealed with mathematical
certainty that forty-eight men out
of every 100 alive at Is will live to
be 10. And If they survive the
rigors Of life until they become
more or less bald at so, then fifty
six out of every 100 will live until 10.
"79,e proportion of old people
will continue to increase In this
cou1 try" Coler concluded. De-
crea yed immigration, declining
birth rate and lower infant NOR
tality will bring it about. AS ma
ton. we shall become more con-
sentative. There will be fewer boy
wonders in business and the arts.
