Americans Can Live
 Nine Years Longer
Campaign Instituted By Health and Insurance
 Agencies to Increase Average Life Expectancy

New York, August IS A campaign to make Americans live nine years longer Is being instituted by health agencies and insurance companies throughout the country. All that is necessary to increase the average length of life by nine years is summed up by Dr Louis I. Dublin, insurance statistician. in a statistical survey by the American Magazine:
 "The aim Is to see that every community Is thoroughly up-to- date in sanitation, that all health laws are modern and well enforced. that people take every advantage of the new knowledge of hygiene, have an all-round physical exam ination every year, and make their habits sensible and moderate"
 If everyone will do this, pr Dublin states that the average life in America can be heightened from 61 years to 70. That we can raise 1t much above that I doubt" he adds, because despite all our advances in improving the expecta- tion of life, there is no indication that we have increased the life span - that is. the age at which thoroughly healthy old people will naturally die."
 The expectancy" of the average American, according to the very latest American statistics, is as fo.- lows:

oy the way, seems to have been definitely slated for high post in the National Recovery Administra- tion had he not been picked to make the local fight.
 When the fusion leaders were grayely considering various hope less nonentities to carry the reform banner. La Guardia proceeded to cut his G. o. P. ties by charging that the party leadership in city and state were unsatisfactory and ineffective, and that two county republican leaders had been pick ed because of their loya support of Tammany in 1929. After that bombsheil, nobody expected that "The Little Flower" Chats the literal translation of his name) ever would be endorsed by the re- publicans. But he was.
 He was born on New York's east side, in 1882, the son of Achilles La Guardia, who became an army bandmaster. Fiorello was reared in army posts of South Dakota and Arizona, learned to ride cayuses, wanted to be a jockey, studied the cornet (unwillingly), and got through high school. When the Spanish American War started the boy joined his father at Tampa Fla, and got seriously i'll on the rotten beef that was sold to the government by some of the patri- ots of that day. Fiorello never for got that beef. When the U. s. entered the conflict abroad he of- fered bill making the fraudulent

 In Consular Service at 20
 He was only 20 when he ob- tained an $80-a-month appoint ment in the consular service. and was in Budapest and Trieste from 1901 to 1904. Hoping that a knowledge of languages would aid his career, he learned to speak French, German, Italian (which his parents hadn't taught him in this country) and few Slav and Croatian dialects. Later in New York he mastered Yiddish and now speaks it fuently, with ges- lures. "I also know a little Eng fish," he's fond of saying. And he might add that he understands the American idiom, "lousy" being one of his favorite adjectives.
 Back in this country, La Guar dia became an interpreter at poly glot Ellis Island, worked his way through law school, was admitted to the bar in 1910, and soon en- tered politics. He ran for Con- gross in 1914 and was defeated, though he cut the usual demo- cratic majority to less than half. Next he went in for aviation, and was taught to fly by Giuseppe Bel lanca, the Italian plane designer who had come here shortly before.
 La Guardia's next try for con gross was successful, but he didn't remain long in Washington. Hav- ing voted for the draft he de- clared the least he could do was

PORT STRIKE IN CUBA HAS BEEN
 SAFELY ENDED
Dock Workers Are Return= ing to Their Jogs and Foreign Commerce of Nation Is Saved
RY LAWRENCE S. HAAS

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Havana, Aug 22-Paralysis of Cuba's foreign commerce ended to- day when port workers returned to work after an agreement with their employers providing for recog- hilton of unions and a A hour week. No sooner had the news of the settlement reached dock workers than they began going back to their jobs, and within a few hours some ships, long held in port were being unioaded while others got cargoes of Cuban exports.
 With the port strike regarded officially as over, the government ordered Minister of Communica- tions Nicasio Silverio to leave for Camaguey today to negotiate a set- clement of the railway strike.
 Prospect that the strike would end soon through the country left the government free to consider pressing external and internal prob- lems.
 Former President Mario Menocal who has demanded indirectly that the government hold early cleo tions, has conferred both with President Manuel Carlos de Ces- pedes and with American Ambas- sador Sumner Welles.
 Mendieta Mendez Penate, na- tionalist leader, was due to arrive from exile today. Nationalists planned an important meeting to- morrow to review the political sit uation and consider especially their attitude on continuing the present congress or electing a new one.
 The government regards it essen- tial that the present congress pass constitutional reform laws and adopt new electoral laws, holding that the elections can best be de- ferred until conditions are normal.

go to war himself, 50 he enlisted, was commissioned and sent to the Italian front. He organized American aerial activities there. led bombing flights. crashed once, was twice decorated, and emerged major.
 Natural born Fighter
 Perhaps the dowdiest looking major in the whole A. E. F., he stili feels the same way about his appearance. In Washington he was always busy, attended sessions regularly, read every bin in a search for hidden jokers. He at- tackled appropriation bills, tax figures, and navy building plans. A natural-born fighter. he intro duced a resolution in 1923 for the outlawry of war. He was ever the first to howl for the head of any official suspected of graft; and he wasn't bit bashful about &C., cusing them of it.. He is a per- sonal friend of Franklin Roose- welt, backed many of the pres ident's policies, and helped draft several measures of the recovery program now going into effect. Few pieces, eof major legislation ever bore his name, but he was the balance wheel of many of them.
 His co-workers liked him too, and one loved him = he married his secretary five years ago. He berated his colleagues on the floor of the house by day. and entertained them with spaghetti parties and cornet music at night.

EXPECTATION OF LIFE

All kinds of circumstances, how ever, may vary the figure which you calculate for yourself from Dr Dublin's tabe. Race, nationality, build. married or single, fat or thin, rich or poor, laborer or white collar man,-all these affect the average length of life in America.
 The female is longer-lived than the male by 2 to 4 years; the na- tive-born American lives 2 to IS years more than the immigrant; the white-collar man lives 5 years longer than the manual laborer. Clergymen live longer than doctors or lawyers; metal miners live 10 years less than the average.
 Divorced people show an excep- tionally short expectancy of life, and married people live longer than bachelors or spinsters. "The advantage enjoyed by married peo- pie is partly due to selection" says pr Dublin. "In other words. peo- pie who are normal and well-or- ganized physically are much more likely to marry than those who are not. Furthermore. marriage seems to be definitely beneficial. This Is clearly shown by the fact that those who are released from the marital protection that Is. widows and the divorced - show definitely lower expectation of life than those for whom marriage continues. Among divorced peo.. pie there is considerable mental

Fiery La Guardia Turns With Relish 1o
 Task Of 7iOisting Tannany Tigers 1aa F;o Choice For Mayor Is Arch-Foe Of Gotham Political
By PAUL HARRISON NEA RerVice Writer


 New York-The Tammany IT. ger is at bay in the labrinthine tuneles of New York politics. And fiery little Fiorelio LaGuardia, fu- sion candidate for mayor, is get fling ready to 20 in after him. Whichever way the tide of victory turns. it should be an exciting en- counter, for the champion of the united enemies of Tammany ls crashing in with dynamite as well as fancy fireworks.
 Gotham knows 1t LaGuardia scarcely better than does the rest of the nation, for he spent Is years ii, Congress as a live-wire liberal, an acid -tongued and tireless work CT. an arch-enemy of extravagance. and the most vaudevillistic and coiiorful figure in the House of Representatives. Usually identihed as a republican, he has acknowl- edged no political master, and has run for ofice as a republican, progressice. a socialist and an in- dependent. He was endorced py both republicans and democrats when the socialists nominated Scott Nearing to oppose him for congress. He was elected alder manic president here on an anti HyIan ticket. He returned from the war to plead for the League of Nations. Tn 1924 he bolted his party to support LaFollette.
 Opposed Jimmy Walker
 The most consistent thing about him has been his hatred of Tam many. Not even his enemies and he has plenty of them In every party-ever have accused him or compromise with the Tiger. La Guardia ran for the presidency Of the board of aldermen only to strengthen a woefully weak ticket, and surprised everyone. including himself by winning. In. 1929 he opposed Jimmy Walker for the mayoralty because nobody else dared to run. La Guardia was licked, but not until he had put a couple of knots in the Tigers tall.
 Last election, running for re- election to congress, he was de- feated again.
 Friends of La Guardia, seeking to prove that his opposition to Tammany isn't dictated by person. al ambition, cite the following facts: When the fusion movement began to get under way, he first offered to back Aldermanic Presi- dent Joseph V. Mckee for mayor specifying, however. that he first must be convinced that Me Kee had obtained "an absolute di- vorce from Tammany, without ali- mony" Next he proposed fusion ticket headed by Alfred E. Smith, Robert Moses and Norman Thomas. But Smith refused to run Then he backed Samuel Seabury, hero of the New York vity reform element. But Seabury also declined Not until then did he thretaen to run himself as an independent if necessary, unless . strong fusion candidate were found.
 Persistent Tiger Chaser.
 There was. announced the dyna- mic little politician, only one issue to chase the Tiger out of the city hall. And only one major task to rehabiitate the credit of city now on the ragged edge of bank ruptcy, to govern 1t efficiently and honestly, and to aid the national recovery program. La Guardia,

distase, maladjustment to life and sterility."
 Life expectation in other coun- tries IS generally less than in America. England and Holland are about even with the United States; in Sweden and Denmark the average life is slightly longer than here. France, Italy and Rus sia are far behind America. The finest longevity records of all are from New Zealand, where the av- craze life Is nearly 6 years longer than in America, = apparently be- cause the people of New Zealand have given more attention than any other nation to sanitation and per- sonal and community hygiene.
 Americans today can look for ward to living twice as long as their forefathers did 150 years was only 35 years. During the proved rapidly. science advanced 1850 the average length of life was creased to 48 years. In the past 30 Caio AioWSNSib ShS AAASoS h&H@N strides of all have occurred, and the average length of life has in- creased from AS to 61 years.
 This was made possible" com ments Dr Dublin. "by the extraor- dinary succession of discoveries of the causes of infectious diseases by Pasteur, Koch and others; by cleaner milk for babies and chill dren; by the use of toxoid in pre- venting diphtheria; by cutting down the tuberculosis rate, and by the wide application of sanitary science and preventive medicine"
 Racial background produces striking differences in longevity in America. Negroes have an expec- tation 13 years less than the aver age. Jews live several years longer than the average. Italians live longer in America than in their own country, but Germans and Irish do not do as well here as at home. Irish immigrants live 10 to IA years less than the average American. German immigrants lag 1 to 1-2 years behind the average.

BOSTON HIT BY

Boston. (UP)-One souvenir left in the wake of the depression in these parts is a sudden and wide spread revival of that ancient American sport, "barnyard golf"
 Many back yard. particularly in Boston's suburbs, has been equipped for the game. more for mally known as horseshoe-pitch- ing, and family tournaments are becoming the rage.
 Affording thrills of completion nearly equal to those of far more costly sports, "barnyard golf." re- quiring only an initial investment of a few cents for sets of shoes. promises. at least partially. to re- gain that place in the public fancy which 1t occupied a few decades ago.
 The chief difficulty to getting stnrt in the game-such has been the rising tide of automobile pop uiarity--appears to be in finding q stili-nourishing blacksmith shop where one may buy horseshoes.

UNITED STATES. AFTER TRADE IN
 LATIN AMERICA
Colombia Recently Raised Tariffs and Is to Be Warned Our Trade May GO Elsewhere
UNITED STATES

UNITED STATES
 Washington, Aug 22.-(UP)- The administration began to-day an intensive effort to open new markets for American products by tightening the economic bonds be- tween the United States and Latin America.
 Colombia was the first country with which the state department attempted to negotiate a reciprocal trade treaty.
 Acting Secretary of State Phil lips was to meet Dr Pablo Lozano, Colombian minister and Pomponio Guzman, special CMolombian agent and begin work on the agreement.
 The state department will at- tempt to convince the Colombians that they shoulud reduce tariffs on many items exported by the United Sates. Cotton textiles, machinery and foodstuffs were among the more important items.
 America. entered this diplomatic game with q storng hand. Phillips and his assistants were expected to point out that the United States consumes 80 per cent of Colom- bias exports-principal coffee, bananas and crude oil-and that of this amount 80 per cent enters the United States duty free.
 Colombia sells this country far more than 1t buys here. In 1882, according to the commerce depart ment, Colombian exports to the United States totaled $60,846, ,00O whereas its imports from the United States aggregated only $1O,- 670, ,000. giving 1t a favorable trade balance of more than $50,000,000.
 Yet Colombia recently raised tar ifs to the detriment of United States goods. In diplomatic but firm manner the state department was expected to suggest that unless American exports receive more .fav- orable treatment in Colombia. this country's business men may trans fer part of their purchases to other markets.
