Longer Life Held Attainable Soon;
Moderation Called The GuidepoSt
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
By HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE

by 1OWAkD w. bLAkESLE6
ASSOCIATED Press Science EditOr)
NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Ten
thousand Japanese more than 80
years old recently told how they
live, and their stories agree with
the general direction surveyed
for the several, still dimly under
stood, scientific roads to longey-
ity.
These roads are diet, heredity,
rest and mental poise. All seem
to be converging toward the COM
mon goal of moderation.
New Theory OF Feeding
On the diet road there are two
recent significant surveys indicat-
ing how man may soon learn to
prolong his life. The latest, by
DR.. c. NJ. McCay, of the Cornell
university animal nutrition lab
oratory, challenged the present
practice of feeding both animals
and children enough to produce
maximum size in the shortest
time.
In his colony of rats DR.. McCay
has some already twice normal
rat ages, and still going, with the
oldest equal to 10 years of hui
man life.
The lives of these animals were
doubled by just one thing-feed-
ing them less than enough to let
them grow as fast as nature would
permit.
Ten Years Longer
The other survey shows diet APP
piled in a manner more nearly fit
ting human desires. This was
made by DR.. Henry C. Sherman,
of Columbia university, whose ex-
periments led him to predict that
the average life span can be pro-
longed 10 years in the near future
by choice of diet.
No nation yet has ventured to
apply the known laws of heredity
that result in longer life. But the
japanese study suggests this type
of heredity IS somehow mingled
with moderation; that those who
inherit their longevity come from
families neither very small nor.
extra large.
Cities Shorten Life
This study was made by DIR.
Nakayama. a school hygenist. To
him the 10000 reported on eli
mate, circumstances and manner
of living, hygiene, tastes and fam
lily records.
Living in cities, tabulation of
the 10000 reports shows, de-
creases the life span. Aged wom-1
en- are more numerous than aged
men. Seaside villages were the
most numerous among the habitats
of these long-lived Japanese. All
villages exceeded all towns for
long-lived inhabitants and the
towns were ahead of the cities.
The majority of those who re-
ported were agricultural workers.
Most were of medium build but
some were corpulent and few
slender. They now go to bed
early and rise late. They gener-
ally have led quiet lives.
They are not particular about
what they eat or drink. Half of
them are drinkers. but the women
are all non-drinkers.
Middle Class Leads
The majority of these aged
japanese had long-lived grand
parents. parents, brothers and sis
tiers. They all had from three to
five brothers and sisters. They
were found mostly in the middle
classes.
In this group it appeared that
unmarried persons seldom live to
great age. Tall men lived longer
than short ones.
The majority were eldest sons
and daughters and were born of
parents still in their twenties.

SUBSIDY CHARGE DENIED.
Stats Zeitung, New York Paper, De-
nOunCes Allegations.

NEW YORK March Is LP).-The
New Yorker Stats zeitung in an edi-
torial today will deny allegations in
the Paris newspaper Petit Parisien
that 1t is in the service of Germany"
The Petit Parisien Tuesday printed
what its editors described as a copy
of confidential directions to Nazi
agents in which instructions for han
ding foreign newspapers and agencies
were allegedly set forth.
The Stats Zeitung, published by
Ridder Brothers, will say:
The following paragraphs are
taken from the Petit Parisien. a Paris
newspaper. and purpOrt to be quota
tions from pamphlet issued by the
Nazi government to its agents
throughout the world:
THE only way of insuring decisive
influence in North America is by di-
rect financial participation A typical
example Of this procedure is a series
of transactions carried out through
Ridder Brothers. New York publishers.
We wish to point out that if dis
agreements may have arisen with the
Ridder Press trust. these difficulties
in no way affect the fundamental re-
lations between the trust and our
agents
In certain cases dsagreements of
this nature may have been intentional
to divert suspicion, so that it may
not be suspected that the Ridder
trust is in the service of Germany.
The Berlin government has def
nitely denied the authenticity of this
document
In these days of intensive national
propaganda it is almost impossible to
tell who is responsible for the above
libels. We learn from Paris that the
Petit Parisien was requested by the
French government to reWrite and
bring up to date this six months old
brochure. which is plainly a faxed
document.
ut seems almost unnecessary to
state that the Ridder Brothers have
never at any time received any money
from the German government, or any
other government, or any agents of
such governments; nor have the Rid
der Brothers ever requested. or been
offered financial assistance by the
German government, nor would they
accept such subsidies"

ATHENS. March IS NAN.A).-
Those in Athens who believe that
Samuel insult actually is a very i'll
man say that he might not be alive
today were it not for the constant
and faithful attention and protection
given him by a charming Greek lady.
She is revealed as Mrs. Lille Koimt-
Zoglu, relatively young woman, slim
and medium of height, with fine,
penetrating dark eyes and black hair,
and today she spoke spiritedly in
defense of the fugitive utilities king
who lost his throne, and disclosed
something of his intentions.

bility has made her an almost legen-
Diary figure, represented as an Oriental
woman of powerful will with extraor-
| dinary domination over the aged
! Chicagoan, was found at her fiat,
where Mr.. insult and his wife also
are living. The fiat is in an Athenian
SkyScraper near the home of the
prime minister.
Meeting Place Uncertain.
1t is not known whether MIS-
koimtzoglu and Mr.. insult. who is IA,
met for the first time in Athens or in
the United States, which Mrs Koimt-
zoglu has visited several times. For
years she lived at the Hotel Grande
Bretagne here. where Mr.. insult also
had quarters for while One day
she gave up her apartment and took
the present fiat. Mr.. insult left the
hotel at the same time and the next
Athens knew he and his wife were
making their home with the Chica-
goan's friend.
He was an old man, without
friends and hunted by everybody,
exclaimed Mrs. Koimtzoglu, in Mr..
Insults warm defense. II do not know
why he showed such great confidence
IN me. He even asked me to provide
lawyers to assist him. I helped him
in this way. and then l decided the
best thing 1 could do was to provide
home for him.
Il know how bitter it is to find
oneself far from familiar surround
lngs, fallen from former estate, and
having to conform to the manners
ana customs OF foreign land while
being prosecuted by ones own people
1 knew he wanted peace. and that he
could not find it in a big hotel. So
provided him with a home.
Il do not know whether I became
his guardian angel or his alter ego,
as some people ironically say. But 1
do know that l have succeeded in
creating an atmosphere of peaceful
ness. and Mr.. insult has been greatly
in need of that"
Two Women Disagree.
1t is gossip in Athens that Mrs
kolmtzoglu and Mrs. insult disagree
on the course Mr.. insult should take
According to this gossip Mrs. insult,
who formerly was on the stage, and
whose name was Gladys Wallis, has
wanted her husband to return to the
United States of his own will. But
Mrs. Koimtzoglu, so rumor goes, coun-
Seled Mr.. insult to resist extradition.
Mrs. Koimtzoglu gives one to under
stand that Mr. insults condition is
really desperate. He lives in continual
fear OF everything and everybody. The
ringing of the doorbell or the tele-
phone gives him so severe a nervous

SALMON CANNING
TO BE INDUSTRY
INCREASE OF FISH nv FLATHEAD
LAKE EXCEPTIONALLY RAPID,
SAYS MCDONALD

Kenneth Macdonald, superfnten-
dent OF Montana fisheries, predicts
a bright future for the sockeye sal
mon industry on FIathead lake. Mr..
Macdonald visited the state fish
hatcheries on the lake and the fed
eral canning factory at Poison, which
has been canning sockeye salmon for
two months.
Mr.. DacDonald and hatchery en-
ployes at Poison say sockeye salmon are
increasing rapidly. When they were
first noticed in large numbers four
years ago, they we're only along the
east shore Of the lake. from Yellow pay
to Skiddoo bay. Now they are coming
in on the sandy shores along the west
shore of the lake also. Several tons
of salmon we're caught this year by the
state fish and game commission nets
and canned at Poison for relief pur-
poses.
There were q, 1913 No. 2 cans Of SAL
mon put up in October and November
at the FERA plant. A carload Of SAL
mon was sent to Butte for relief dis
tribution.
Mr.. Macdonald thinks sockeye saim-
on In the lake viii soon be canned COM
merciaIly. They are Of the same VAR
iety as those canned on the Pacific
coast, it is said.

STATE LOSES IN
GAS TAXES CASE
SUPREME COURT RULES THAT
MORTGAGE SUPERIOR TO
STATES LIEN

Montana recently lost about SIS
900 gasoline taxes through a deci-
sion Of the supreme court, handed
down In the civil suit TO enforce a
S35,000 mortgage brought by the
STANDARD OH company of California
against the Idaho Community Oil
company, John Shrum and C. b. Far
aday, and John Sampson, receiver
Of the Idaho company, in which the
state interviewed in an effort to coll
Iect the taxes from the Idaho COM
pany.
At the trial in the district court
judgment went to the plaintiff, the Cal
ifornia company, and John Sampson,
the receiver, and the state appealed.
On the appeal the supreme court held
that the California company's mort
gage was superior to the lien Of the
state only as to the real property and
remanded the cause for modification Of
the judgment.
After hearing the trial court then
made findings distinguishing the real
and personal property and issued an
amended decree. The state again ap-
pealed.
On the appeal 1t contenoed that the
trial court erred in classifying prop
erty included service stations of the
Idaho company on leased land and the
leasehold interests as real estate. This
property embraced gasoline pumps
tanks, air compressors and other ap-
planes affixed to or sunk into the
ground. The state held that this prop
erty was personally.
The decision sustains the trial court,
and the state is left without right to
enforce It's tax lien against the mort
gage. The opinion in the case was
written by Associate Justice John A.
Matthews and concurred in by all Of
the other members Of the court. Attor-
ney General Raymond T. Maggie and
Assistant Attorney General Claude F.
Morris prosecuted the case for the
state.

Great Falls was second with $118,911 .35,
and Helena was a close second with

ceeds Billings, with several thousand
more people. The Billings sales were
$89, 750.50.
The audit commends the economical
operation of the stores, but notes that
employees OF the stores are not bond
ed. The stores are operating ON profit
able basis, the audit states. The per-
centage Of profits averages about 80
percent. The lowest profit percentage
was recorded at Ashland with z per-
