RICHES BLAMED
 FOR SHORT LIFE

NEW YORK, April 5-The hust- ling, bustling American pays with years of his life for his prosperity, built upon stupendous industrial expansion and improvements.
 His civilized brethren of the world may have less money, but they live longer.
 These things were suggested by Dr. Eugene Fink, medical director of the Life Extension Institute, at a meeting of the Office Executive Club.
 He revealed that silent" sick ness, diseases attacking the heart, blood vessels and kidneys, but not often appearing in terms of dis ability, are increasing the death rate, beyond the age of forty, and even after thirty-seven, in the United States
 At the same time, the death rate decreases at every age period in other civilized countries.

SWEDISH QUEEN DIES IN ITALY,;
 ILL FOR YEARS
Mother of the Land Passes Away at Rome
 King at Bedside

the affections of the Swedish peo- pie at that time was retained throughout the more than a quar- ter of century she was crown princess and was strengthened in the years that followed when these same people became her subjects.
 Her husband became King Gus tav V of Sweden on December 8, 1907, upon the death of his father, King Oscar II. Queen Victoria shared the democratic views of the king and was said to have en- outraged him in his refusal to en- dure any coronation pomp in the ceremony which elevated them to the thrones. Their coronation of- ten has been compared in its sim plicity to the inauguration of a president of the United States.
 Thereafter, this royal couple were hailed as the most democratic rul- CTS of Europe.
 Born in Germany
 
 Sophia Maria Victoria was born at Karlsruhe. in Baden Germany, August T, 1862, the only daughter of the Grand Duke Frederick of Baden, and the Grand Duchess Louise, daughter of Emperor Will liam L She, therefore, was first cousin of the former kaiser of Ger many. Being granddaughter Of Sophia, Princess of Sweden. her marriage to Gustav effected a un- ion between the Bernadotte dynasty and the ancient Swedish roya house of Vasa.
 They became acquainted when Crown Prince Gustav was attending the German army maneuvers at Strassburg in the autumn of 1879 Their betrothal was announced on March 12, 1881, and their wedding took place at Karlsruhe on Sep tember 20 of the same year. A few days later when Gustav and Vic toria arrived in Sweden they were received with one of the most en- thusiastic demonstrations ever given a royal couple in tn at country Their trip from Gothenburg tc Stockholm was a triumphal one in which peasants and nobles vied in showing their approval of the choice of the crown prince. Victoria had learned the Swedish language and after a few years it scarcely could have been recognized that she was not native of her adopt ed country.
 Three sons were born to Gustav and Victoria-Crown Prince Gus tavus Adolphus, who also has the title of Duke of Scania; William Duke of Soedermanland, who is an accomplished poet and novelist, and Erik, Duke of Vaestergothland, who died in 1918. .
 Was Athletic
 From early girlhood, Queen Vic toria was a physical culture en- thusiast and fond of athletics. Thus it was one of the ironies of fate that she should have developed a bronchial ailment, which for many

years made it dangerous for her to i've in the rigorous climate of Swe- len. She spent her first summers in Sweden at the royal detached palace at Tullgarn, not far from Stockholm, and when the climate here proved unfavorable villa was erected for her on the Swedish island of Oeland, in the Baltic Sea.
 In later years the climate there did not alleviate her trouble and she was obliged to make numerous trips to Italy, where she maintained a winter home, and to the island Of Mainau, in Lake Constance, Ba- varia, which had been willed to her.
 Notwithstanding the impaired condition of her health, Queen Vic toria, by her sympathetic, chari- table and genuinely unselfish na- ture, earned the affectionate titles of model mother" and mother of the land" expressions of sentiment that meant a great deal to her.
 Directed Charity
 Interested in charity throughout most of her life, Queen Victoria in creased her activities in that di- rection at the outbreak of the World War. She formed the Queens Central Committee to or ganize and direct the private char lty aid within the country and also showed a great interest in the &C., tivities of the Swedish Red Cross, the soldiers and sailors homes and the pioneers of Lapland.
 Many times during the war she

made visits to her aged mother at Karlsruhe, visits often fraught with danger. On one of those occasions French flyers in 1915 bombarded the royal palace where the queen was staying.
 She was on similar visit in November, 1918, when the German revolution broke out and she and her mother were obliged to take refuge in a castle of zwingenberg. east of Heidelberg. The leaders of the revolution, however, granted the queen and her mother permis- sion to move to castle in the south of Baden, owned by Swed- ish count, who was a chamberlain of the queen.
