HOLLYWOOD, Calf, April 13.--
Another screenland's much publicized
but seldom successful perfect mar
riages," the union of titian-tressed
Mary Astor and Dr. Franklin Thorpe,
Hollywood physician, was in ashes
today.
In failing to appear in court yester-
day to contest her husbands divorce
suit, Miss Astor not only gave up the
man she credited a few years ago
with restoring her health, but she
relinquished custody of her 3-year-old
daughter, Marilyn.
DR.. Thorpe told the court a COM
munity property settlement had been
made and that Miss Astor had agreed
he should rear the child.
The divorce was granted on grounds
of cruelty. DR.. Thorpe said his 29-
year-old wife made disparaging re-
marks about his earning powers. He
added that although he had a lucra-
tive private practice as physician
it did not compare to Miss Astor's
earnings, reported to be $500 week.

LOS ANGELES, April l3.-It's only
a matter of time before human beings
may live to an age of 140, says DR..
Serge Voronoff, noted European scien-
tiSt.
He arrived here yesterday after ex-
tensive experiments with orang
utans, chimpanzees and gibbons in
India, Indo-China and Java, all for
the advancement of the monkey gland
rejuvenation theory which has made
him famous.
DR.. Voronoff was accompanied by
his bride, whom he married last year
when he was 10 and she was 81.
A 140-year life span process re-
quires only that wornout glands be
replaced with young and active
glands, which would impart new i'm

Old Age Pensions

Without attempting to pass upon the merits or
otherwise OF the bill which has been introduced by
Senator Wagner Of New York and Representative
Lewis OF Maryland, providing for national system
Of old-age pensions believe that the great major
ity of Americans are in hearty agreement with the
fundamental principles involved.
We know of nobody VINO is not in favor OF some
effective system Of providing for those whom in old
age are unable to support themselves in decent COM
f0rt.
We believe that the plan of building up, during
an individuals working life fund to which the
worker, the employer and perhaps the State con-
tributors which will provide annuity for old age
IS tie soundest possible way Of accomplishing this
end It removes completely any possible stigma Of
pauperism which is inevitably attached to gratuitous
grants of unearned benefits.
AS to what the amount Of such pensions should
be- and whether the compulsory retirement age should
be Co. IS or 70 years. there is great diversity of
opinion.
There IS much to De said for the voluntary an
nulty system proposed for the "self f-employed"
whereby the farmer, the doctor, the lawyer or any,
one else who is not attached to a payroll can place
small part Of his or her income in trust with the
Government, from year to year, to accumulate until
the retiring age is reached when an income for life
may then de derived from the accumulated fund We
understand such system has been employed in Eng
lard tor more than two hundred years
10 the hopeful elderly persons who have been
looking forward to Immediate old-age pension checks
from the Government, the bill as introduced offers
Ltte solace. Provision is made for Joint state and
Adera relief for those who practically destitute
but the age at which this relief shall begin NAV be
placed as high 70 years This does not bring much
comfort to those IL their sixties who have been led
10 DelleVe there was chance Of getting 5000 month
right now.
AT any rate, the WagnerLewis bill is q start TO-
ward goal at which the nation sooner or later must
arrive. O1 --''0'

Escaped Military Service

Upon being drafted, Grover Cleve-
land escaped military service, writes
q. r. Turner in the Kansas City
Times. At the outbreak Of the Civil
war he was twenty-four years Of
age and practicing law in Buffalo,
n. Y. Two years later, when Presi-
dent Lincoln's reliance upon volun-
teers had failed to bring forth the
necessary number of troops and con-
scription had to be invoked, Cleve-
lands name was included among
those drafted. The young lawyer.
however, availed himself OF his le-
gal privilege Of hiring a man to
serve in his place, choosing as his
substitute a sailor who had just
been honorably discharged from a
merchant vessel. Seven years after
the cessation Of hOstilities, though,
it was his lot to perform a duty as
unpleasant as that OF soldier
springing the trap in hanging two
men, while sheriff of his county.

The Size Of The Tax Load

We saw some interesting figures the other day
if any kind of figures can be said to be interesting
These figures interested because they showed just
how heavy the tax burden upon the American people
is.
Not counting the extraordinary emergency ex-
pendtures Of the Federal Government, made with
borrowed money, which have not yet begun tn be ser
ousy reflected in the demand for taxes, Uncle Sam
is spending just for ordinary upkeep OF the govern
mental institutions including the Army and Navy
and the payment Of expenses arising from past wars
such as veterans pensions just about 10 million do-
lars every working day, Or $4,5O0 100000 year
But the Federal tax load is not the heaviest, by
any means States, counties and municipalities take
more than twice as much in taxes from the citizens
The total annual tax bill of the American people runs
up to Is thousand millions year, which comes close
to being $125 year for every man, woman and child
The average family Of four carries $500 year tax
load Some pay more, some less, but that is the aV-
erage.
These taxes bear on everybody. They are con.
ceaed in the rent bill, the electric BILL the price OF
groceries, the cost Of everything for which everybody
spends cent They take, all told good third OF the
national income which is estimated for 1894 at about
$45 900 100000.
The hardest place to cut governmental expenses
is in Washington The easiest place is at home, III
towns counties and states If everybody realized that
he or she is taxpayer and that their money would
go lot further if taxes were lower, perhaps there
might be public demand to get rid OF lot OF the tax
eaters who subsist at everybodys expense
