WATER IS DECLARED
DRINK OF AMERICANS
French Hotel Director Says Few
Tourists Call for Cock
tails.

PARIS (P).-A French hotel direc-
tor, who has made study Of drinking
habits, says ice water is the favorite
drink of Americans who come to
France, and not cocktails or wine.
As an example, he cites q group Of
Americans from Is States who stayed
at his hotel for a week. Out of 125,
only Is drank k-anything but water, he
says, and some Of these took iced tea.
During prohibition" he says, many
Americans believed it their duty to
experiment with the wine card. Now
that Americans can legally drink what
ever they wish in their own country,
they have relapsed into their water
drinking habits.
When Americans dine alone in
Paris, water is usually the beverage on
the table, although you see milk and
iced tea occasionally When they are
accompanied by French friends, a
bottle of wine Is ordered, but the
Frenchmen usually drink it alone"

British Engineers Plan
Wav to Harness Tide

In Britain, the Severn estuary has
big tides, and there is scheme for
making barrage across this. A de-
tailed official report was recently
made on the project, writes CORE
spondent in the London Spectator.
1t would cost about 100000
pounds and by itself could not COM
pete with electrical power generated
by burning coal. But with the aid
of water power from the dams in
the Wye valley nearby, it is estimat-
ed that it could supply all the south
west of England and Wales with
power at two-thirds of the present
cost.
Schemes like this have to be care
full not to upset existing arrange
ments, and Bristol is naturally very
anxious lest a huge barrage should
interfere with navigation. In order
to settle this question, wonderfully
accurate models of the river bed
have been made, and the effects Of a
barrage on currents and on sitting
up have been studied on the model.
The model Is SO accurate that,
when a current of muddy water was
run through it, the mud particles
were deposited so as to reproduce
with extraordinary fidelity the sand
banks and shoals that exist in the
real river. The results seem con-
elusive that barrage could have no
serious effects on shipping.

Ways of a Magyar Maid

A Magyar maid likes to test her
suitOr's persistence. When he raps
at her door, she let's him rap, in rain
or shine. until any but the most
persevering-tha is a Magyar-lover
would give up and take his attentions
elsewhere. But when he is finally ad-
mitted to the kitchen-the room where
all the counting Is done in peasant
homes-he finds adequate -compensa-
ton. If the family is not considerable
enough to leave them alone they have
their own way of securing privacy.
They seat themselves on bench in
a corner, and with one arm the lover
throws his ample cloak over them
both, completely covering them, while
with the other arm he draws his
sweetheart closer.

SHOW INCREASE
In LIES SPAN
Five-Year Cain Announced
by Statisticians.

You can dodge death. But you
can't avoid it. Medical science has
ferreted out the causes and provided
treatments for most of the ailments
that used to carry off children dur
ing the first ten years of life diph-
liberia, infantile diarrhea, tubercu-
losis. And more and more of the
diseases of adult life are being
tracked down.
But die you must: and If you
manage to get out of the path of
tuberculosis, an automobile may pre-
pare you for permanent interment.
(Automobile accidents, incidentally,
rank tenth in the causes of death.)
Life is as precarious as ever it was.
Statisticians can figure what your
chances OF living are. Two mathe-
maticians of a large insurance COM
pany, Drs. Louis I. Dublin and AL
fred J. Lotka, have gotten up tables
showing how long you may reason
ably expect to continue inhabiting
this world, and since you have man.
aged to hold out this long, what ills
will probably account for you. Here's
what they've found:
A boy born today may expect to
live so years. In one decade his life
span has been increased five years.
His brother born in 1924 may expect
to live only to the age of fifty-four. A
girl born today will live to. be sixty
three. Her sister born ten years ago
has six years less of life expectancy.
What will you die of? The
chances are greatest that heart dis
ease will account for your demise.
Heart disease is today the leading
cause Of death. 1t is interesting to
note that the ills of old age-heart
trouble, cancer, accidental falls, dia-
betes-have increased as causes Of
death during the last few decades.
There are several reasons for this.
First, medical sleuths have not been
80 proficient in catching the diseases
of old age; second, the population
as whole is growing older. with an
ever-increasing proportion Of aged
people; third, as the causes of death
are overcome, the remaining ones
take an increasingly large TOLL
Scientific Progress.
