No Show for Bad Curves

The road being narrow and dan
gerous, the guest was overjoyed to
find his host a careful driver. As
they gingerly climbed treacherous
incline another car shot by. The
guest shivered.
"How foolish that man was to pass
US on this precipice.
Wasn't he?
"Why did he risk his life like
that? ?"
Just wanted to show US he had
fast car" responded the careful
driver. "But I'll show him."
And he proceeded to step on it.

Couldn't Take it With Her

A young preacher came to one OF
the distant settlements, and started
in to reform the natives. Among
other things to which he objected
was smoking by women. He stopped
one day at old Nancy's cabin and
found her enjoying an after dinner
smoke on her corncob pipe.
"Aunt Nancy" he said, when
your time comes to go, and you ap-
ply for admission at the gate OF
Heaven, do you expect st. Peter will
let you in if he detects the odor OF
tobacco on your breath ?"
The old woman took the pipe out
of her mouth, and said:
"You man, when | go to Heaven
| expect to leave my breath behind" !"

The great life insurance companies have
found it to their advantage to reduce sickness
and lengthen life among their policyhoders.
Some of the results they have attained by
education and by various special services. are
astounding illustrations of what modern medi
cal science do
Between 1912 and 1929 there was, as the
figures already given indicate, a general drop
in the American death rate. But among the
industrial polcyholders of one life insurance
company there was additional drop, repre-
Senting. according to the company'S figures,
q saving of 398 25O lives.
Expressed in another way, the average length
of life in the United States increased by five
and a half years whereas among the policy
holders mentioned it increased nine and quar-
ter years. The general maternity death rate
in the United States has almost stood still
since 1900. Among that company's policy
holders it dropped to IL per 100000 in 1880.
These figures are not given for the purpose
of glorifying life insurance company The
company mention has simply found 1t very
much to its advantage to put off paying death
benefits on life insurance policies long as
possible. The holders of the policies have felt
the same way about the matter.

About $4,000 900 working days lost each
year because of illness. If we take 81 a

woman and child is disabled by illness once

are sick less often than women, lose an
average, to 9 days from this cause, and
women 8 to IL days. Children lose days or
more from school, and although this loss
not be measured in money, it is a real one.

toll in loss of wages. pain and even death we
know can be prevented
1t is impossible to say offhand how many
lives could be saved each year in the United
States If every individual had the benefit of
all the knowledge and all the care that medi-
cine can now provide. But can make some
interesting guesses from what has already been
done
OF deaths per thousand of population in the
United States dropped from 1913 to 11.3, and
the annual death rate among children under

rate, about 1.3400O0 deaths occur annually in

20 times the number of American soldiers killed
in the World War and more than five times
the number wounded. Medical science is not

DUT there is every recSon to believe that

excuse for thinking it the best that medical
science can do than our parents or grand
parents had for thinking that the 1880 rate of
1913 was final. The 1880 rate good only

years-New York Citys 30 per 1000 in 1850. for
example. 1t was not good enough In the
same way. our present rate may seem high
few years hence.
In Cattaraugus County NJ Y. eight years
ago. the Milbank Memorial Fund launched
health program in cooperation with local
doctors and public health authorities. In an
appraisal of this program it was concluded
that it had effected an annual saving of five
lives by reduction in diphtheria of IA lives by
reduction in tuberculosis and of 20 lives by
reduction in infant mortality equivalent to
reduction in economic loss to the community
of $500 900 a year-or nearly double the entire
yearly cost of the health program.
Here is saving of 80 lives per year which
otherwise would have been lost from three
causes alone. If the same results could be
obtained in the United States a whole, a

Democrats Lead
In Registration

That registration of men in I'M
perial county is far heavier than
that of women, and that the wom-
Ell remain more firmly Republican
while the men shift to Democra-
tic majority, are the facts shown
by figures completed late yester-
day by c. w Hinderks, chief dep
uty county clerk.
A count of all registration re-
turns now in the county clerks
office showed 2440 Republicans
among the women as compared to
2166 Democrats. Men affiliated
with the Republican party number
ed Bats, or less than the 4l97 reg
istered with the Democratic party.
Other divisions among the women
voters showed l6 of that sex regis
tered as socialists. "a registered for
the prohibition party and 280 who
declined to state their party affil-
ia tions.
The figures also showed 43 men
in the Socialist party, 25 in the
prohibition party, ID in the Liberty
party and 419 who declined to state.
These figures represent a total of
1918 voters whose registration
certificates are now on file in the

MILK PRODUCERS
IN OPPOSITION
TO TOLL CHARGE

Resolution urging that some
method of raising finances other
than the water toll be adopted, was
passed Wednesday by the Imperial
Valley Milk Producers association
board of directors and sent to men,
bers of the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict board
The resolution states that the as
sociation represents 300 dairymen
of Imperial and the board feels
that the water charge recently i'm
posed will make an unjust burden
on the dairymen at this particular
time. 1t further states that the di-
rectors feel that the dairymen will
be unable to meet this additional
obligation and continue to pay as
sessment. 1t petitions the district
board to find some other more
equitable method of raising fin
ances to meet the emergency.
Copies of the resolution were
sent to the district and to the
farm bureau, and a letter was also
sent to the directors of the Imper-
ial County Farm Bureau stating
that Joel Anderson and w. H. For
rester have been appointed by the
Milk Producers association as a
tax committee to work with the
farm bureau committee in attempt
ing to find some solution other
than the water charge to the dis
trict's financial situation.

INSURANCE CASE
WEIGHTED DOWN
WITH M0NOT0NY

Settling down to the dragging
routine OF a lengthy trial, the Lewis
Hart insurance case before Judge
Arthur L. Mundo today already
had entered the stage of repetition
necessary to link each of the nine
defendants with the charges Of
grand theft, criminal conspiracy
and conspiracy to violate the cor
porate securities act of California.
Prosecution and defense attorneys
had made their distinction some
what more sharp by separating the
counsel tables, states attorneys at
one and defense attorneys at an
other. To a casual observer it
would be hard to distinguish be-
tween attorneys and defendants as
they grouped closely about the de-
Tense table.
Only TWO witnesses were called
yesterday afternoon and this morn
ing. Their testimony came in the
face of numerous objects by de-
fense counsel, as did introduction
of stock certificates, receipts. check
stubs and businss cards given by
the defendants when they were
selling stock in Imperial Valley dur
ing the summer of 1880.
F. w. Hewlett and j. H. Hutch
ison were the witnesses, called in
the order in which they are named.
Both testified they attended BAN
quets in churches and various pub
lie buildings, and heard lectures
by Lewis Hart on the value of
stock The defendants are charged
with later selling stock in the AS
sociateG Insurance Underwriters,
Ltd, under the representation it
was stock in the Associated Life
Insurance company. Both of the
witnesses bought stock.
BY their testimony, and the ex-
hihits introduced into evidence by
virtue OF it, the names of Leslie
Rogasner, Bernard Phillips, Percy
Pickerell Simon Newman and Lewis
Hart were connected with the stock
sales. Other defendants are Bert
Bane, M. Penn Phillips, Arthur
Goldberg and William Leslie.
