DEATH DEFTES SCIENCE

A CHILD born today can expect to live
n at least 55 years. A child born so
years ago had life expectancy of only
30. But the grown man today = the
man who is drifting on into middle age
has very little more hope of reaching
ripe old age than a middle-aged man
had in $780,
DR.. L. f. Barker of Johns Hopkins
made this clear in his recent speech at
indianapolis before the Interstate Post
graduate Medical association of North
America. Medical science, he pointed
out, has greatly increased the average
life span-by cutting down deaths
among children and young men and wom-
en-. The man who has got past his youth
is little better off than his grandfather
was at corresponding period
The shock troops Of death seem to
be massed against two sectors in the hu-
man life line; the sector reaching from
birth to the age of Is or 20, and the
sector which begins in the late SOS.
On the first sector, medicine has erect
ed splendid defenses. 1t beats back the
assault of the shock troops with greater
success each year. The child in the
cradle today has far better chance of
reaching manhood than the child of few
decades ago.
But in the second sector, things have
not gone so we'll. Medicine has struck
telling blows at such foes as tuberculosis,
diabetes, pernicious anemia and small
pox; b UT arterio-sclerosis, cancer,
Bright's disease and the various afflic-
tions of the heart remain as menacing as
ever The human machine seems to
have a way of beginning to run down,
when the three-score mark arrives, that
battles doctors of today almost as thor
oughly as it baffled the doctors of old.
Medical science seems to incline more
and more to the belief that a good in
heritance is the greatest of all assets for
the man who would live to a ripe old
age; and a good inheritance is precisely
the thing which no doctor can provide
for u.s. Our bodies are what our parents
gave US, and there is precious little we
can do about it.
But the science of medicine, after all,
is not through with the fight. Indeed, it
has hardly begun. Each year it gets
little more light. The knowledge it now
has. and the devotion with which it tao
kles its problems, are our best reasons
for hope.
We might as we'll adopt Senator Bor-
abs plan and recognize Russia. They
don't owe US anything.

stone for once he had taken a
drink there in the Summer when
he was adventuring.
All of sudden, as the bunny was
looking at the pool stone, he saw
squirrel boy scramble down a
tree, run over to- the hollow stone
and begin to throw pebbles at it.
The squirrel was neither Johnnie
nor Billie BushytaJl, but a friend
of theirs.
why are you throwing pebbles
at the hollow stone?" whispered
Uncle Wiggily to himself, hidden

loud after a while. Il must try
again." he threw more pebbles, or
little rocks, at the hollow pool
stone.
Goodness! Does that squirrel
think he can break that great big
hollow stone with little ones?"
thought Uncle Wiggily. IF he does
he is very silly and I shall tell
him So" Hopping out from be-
hind the bush Uncle Wiggily said
to the squirrel boy: You can't
break that big stone with such lit
tie pebbles.
"Ha! Ha! Uncle Wiggilyl" laugh
ed the squirrel. II am just trying
to break the ice that has frozen
over the top of the water in the
hollow stone. Every day I come
here to get a drink of water. To-
day / am very thirsty but as the
water is frozen I can't get any
until 1 break the ice." Then the
squirrel boy threw an extra large
pebble.
"Karunkl' went the ice, break
ing into a dozen pieces. Then the
squirrel scrambled up the sloping
side of the pool stone and drank
some water from the hollow. He
was no longer thirsty and away he
ran to school while Uncle Wiggily

Seeking For Work

PARIS, Dec. IS. U.P)-Out of a
job, the unseated King Alfonso of
Spain has been spearing around for
something to do, although his pri-
vate means are said to be large.
But he told member of the
Academy of Beaux-Arts, to which
the eX-king was elected a foreign
member in 1924, that he planned
hereafter regular attendance at
these meetings of the French in
Stitute.
Members of the academy are
paid small honorarium when they
attend meetings. The humorous
speculation is on everyone's lips as
to whether the royal exile needs
the few francs he is entitled to re-
ceive as an active academician.

A WAR We MISSED

THE most interesting part of the study
of history, very often, is a consider
alton Of the things that might have hap
pened but didn't
Gen. Juan Barragan, former Mexican
chief Of staff, provided an opening for
that kind of meditation not long ago
when he published in Mexico City news
paper an article asserting that Mexico
had come close to declaring war on the
United States early in 1917.
General Barragan was a confidant of
Venustiano Carranza, then president of
Mexico, and was chief of staff of the
Mexican army at that time Germany,
via the famous Zimmerman note, had
Just suggested that Mexico make war on
the United States and induce Japan to
do likewise; as a prize it held out the
vision of recovery by Mexico of the vast
territory lost in the war of 1S48.
That offer, says General Barragan,
came very near being accepted.
President Wilson had sent Pershing
into Mexico after Villa, in spite of Car
ranza's protests. According to General
Barragans story, only the fact that
Pershing was finally recalled and the
expedition withdrawn prevented Carran-
"a from leading his nation into war.
Now it is hard to think of anything
more ridiculous than the suggestion that
Mexico seize from the United States such
states as California, Texas, Colorado,
New Mexico and Arizona. But it is in
teresting to speculate on what course
history might have taken if the attempt
had been made If Mexico had gone
ahead and declared war, as Germany
suggested, and had been able to induce
Japan to go along-well the history of
the last Is years would have been diff
ferent, at any rate.
Instead of sending practically all of our
trained troops to France, we would have
had to keep a very sizable army busy in
our own back yard. Our navy would
have had to operate in the Pacific, and
could have done little to help the Brit
ish in the submarine war. All in all, the
situation would have been very favorable
for Germany.
But for Mexico it could only have
been catastrophe. Mexico is very for
tunate that Carranza finally decided to
turn the German proposal down.
Californians are noted for their eli
mate" talks. Just now we have plenty
to talk about.

BISHOP

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. U.P)-
Hundreds of young Americans, who
have received military flying train
ing at army schools may become
lieutenants in the regular air corps
if congress adopts recommenda-
ton made in the annual report OF
Major Gen. Benjamin d. Foulois,
corps chief.
In a report to Secretary Of War
Hurley for the last fiscal year,
Foulois said the air corps was short
396 officers. He explained that und-
er existing conditions the strength
could be increased only by "volun-
tary transfer of officers commits
stoned in other branches"
Authorization Needed
This condition easily could be
remedied," he said, "if authorize
ton were obtained to commission
into the air corps from civil life
those individuals who, as flying
cadets, are graduated from the air
corps training center and commits
stoned second lieutenants in the
air corps reserve"
Foulois said that at the present
rate of accretion from other
branches of the army, the air
corps would not reach its author
lied strength, 1850 officers, for
many years.
Reporting on student flyers Fou-
lois said that of three classes at
Kelly field, Al. 80 and 40.4 per cent
respectively finished their course
successfully. He recommended
more rigid tests of flying aptitude
for applicants.
