AUSTRIAN LIFE
.SP GAINING
Figures Show People There
Are Rapidly Becoming
Elderly Nation

I DILEMMA, Dec. "a. (UP).-Aus-
tria rapidly is becoming an elderly
nation, an analysis of recently
published statistics reveals.
In 1910, at least AZ per cent of
the population living in the ter
rItory which now forms the Aus
trian Republic were under 23
years, while So pea, cent were
above this age, including 81 per
cent superSeXagenarians.
In 1884, only 37.5 per cent were
less than %, while the percentage
of persons over 90 had increased
to 1879 per cent.
Curiously. the change is mar
ticularly evident among the fe-
male population. A total of l.
O99,O17 women below % and
451 800 above 60 were counted IN
1884 against 1,529,524 and 339,-
2O7 respectively in 1910.
RATIO FALLS SHORT
Males decreased by 100000
among the juveniles. but the sur
perseXagen&rian men increased bv
only 10000 during this period.
The change among the middle
ages between % and so was
marked by an increase of 100000
women and $4,000 men. But for
, the war the increase in the male
population obviously would have
been far greater.
The conspicuous change is due
to considerable reduction in the
tigth as well as in the death rates.
In Austria almost 80 per cent of
all marriages now remain without
issue. IN Vienna the childless
marriages mount to 81 per cent.
Vienna'S annual death rate has de-
creased about one-third since
1910. viz. from 34.672 to 23,389.
LIFE SPAN HEIGHTENED
Increased longevity is attribut-
ed in the first place to more eff
caciouS measures against the
spreading of epidemics and of tu-
berculosis. In 1910 epidemical dis
eases were responsible for 1900
deaths in Vienna, compared TO
CTS in 1884, while the number of
victims of tuberculosis decreased
from 5000 in 1910 to 1866 in
1884.
On the other hand, the number
of suicides Increased from G54 to
100 during the same period.
mportant changes have also
taken place in The causes of death.
Before the war tuberculosis and
pneumonia ranked first in this re-
spect.'
Since then deaths from organic
diseases of the heart have increas-
ed by so, from cancer by 70, from
aDoplexv by 30 per cent, while
deaths from pneumonia decreased
bv so per cent.
ALCOHOL USE MODERATE
Moderation in the consumption
of food and alcohol is also be-
lieved to have contributed to IN
creased longevity in Austria.
Austrians ate 10 per cent less
in 1884 than in 1910, while the
consumption of beer was reduced
by 81 per cent and hard liquor by
"a per cent.
Contrary to a widespread opin-
ion, cigarettes do not seem to be
more harmful than cigars. Aus
trians are living longer, although
they consumed 4,65S,OOO,OOO
cigarettes in 1884 against 1,944,-
100000 in 1910, while the con-
sumption of cigars was reduced
from 642,000,000 to 106,OOO,0OO
i'm the same period.

A New Commonwealth

With the establishment of the Philippine Com
monwealth this month, with Manuel Quezon native
Filipino president another step toward the indie
pendence of the Islands taken. Under the law
tablishing the temporary commonwealth it is pro-
vided that absolute independence shall be granted af
ter 10 years.
Whether the Filipino people will be better off
Independent nation remains to be seen, but mas
much the United States has been pledged to with
draw a stable native government could be
established, that pledge is being redeemed.
Since the passage of the Jones Act in 1916 the
Fiipinos have had the rights and privileges Of Am
erican citizens and many benefits besides They have
been given the protection of the American Army and
Navy without cost Reciprocal free-trade relations
with the United States have existed since 1909 OF all
officials Of the government more than SO per cent
have been Filipinos in recent years.
When full independence is granted in 1915 the
Philippines will be required to pay duties on exports
to the United States and will have to provide means
for their defense. If world conditions still
unsettled when that time comes it may develop that
the Fiipinos will be paying high price for their
freedom.
But absolute freedom is their desire. and Uncle
Sam will grant it, All will wish for the Of the
new government, and hope that when the common
wealth is ended the Filipino people may be able to
maintain themselves entirely free and indie
pendent nation.

Impossible To Repay High Seed Loans at
Low Prices

Payment of seed and feed loans from the 1885
crop have created will create a hardship on farm
especially those who reside in the 1884 drouth
belt If forced at this time. This is the universal
lief Of farm organizations who have asked Farm
Credit Administration officials to up on coec-
lions.
High prices paid last for seed and feed
cannot be realized from low priced grain from the
1885 crop, and the payment, if made this time will
require equivalent of at least three bushels for
each one bushel purchased last spring. And if farm
forced to back the loans at that ratio the
situation caused by the drouth will not have been
remeded materially, regardless of the fair crop this
year.
Seed loans secured by liens the 1885
crop, and this crop cannot be sold until the lien is
satisfied list of all loans has been placed at the
grain elevators, and understand, a certain
amount from each bushel is taken to satisfy at least
part of the loan. And each grain buyer must

entirety this year. sufficient grain must be sold be-
fore the farmer gets anything for himself There is
the rub!
If a farmer repays the loan under present cond-
tons he will most likely be unable to retain suf-
ficent amount of feed to carry him through the win
ter and in the spring will again be forced to take
poker game in which the house collected rake-off
from each pot and eventually had the entire amount
in play.

Press Rights Upheld

Another effort to muzzle the press has failed in
Texas, where judge fined six Houston newspaper
men for contempt of court because they published
reports of murder trial in violation of his order not

Three managing editors were fined 800 each
and three reporters $25 each, which all refused to
pay They ordered into technical custody of the
sheriff, but released wrts of habeas corpus

ruled that newspapers have constitutional right to
print proceedings of criminal trals-a right which
not be abridged by the courts 1t declared that
Gin the nature of things the proceedings of public
trials constitute news which newspapers have the
right to publish in informing the public of current

It was pointed out that court could order
change of to protect the accused and that the
law offers wide latitude for determining whether
jurors hold opinions that would influence verdict

court said:

some measure tempered the enemy
Of prairies living and prairie farm
ing-the wind" says Parker o. An
derson, state extension forester,
University Farm, st. Paul.
"The planting of windbreaks and
shelterbelts not only tempers unfa-
vorable climatic conditions, but
furnishes immediate returns in bet
ter and more satisfactory living
conditions" he continues. "Such
groves also give the home owner
created pride in his surroundings,
stimulate more permanency in farm
and home ownership.
MANY people still believe that
trees will not grow on the prairies.
However, there is no place on the
Minnesota prairies where trees
will not grow, If given a proper
chance, unless the soil Is alkaline,
swamy or sterile gravel. BY care
full testing, the state and federal
governments have determined the
species best suited to the varying
soil and climatic conditions"
For detailed information on tree
planting, farmers should consult
their county agricultural agents,
or write the Bulletin Office, Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul, for a copy Of
Special Bulletin 1853, planting the
Standard Windbreak." This bulle-
tin was written by Mr.. Anderson.

Governors Bluff Called

Little did Governor Olson suspect
that his challenge to the American
bar to defend the right of the Su-
preme Court to declare acts of Con-
gress unconstitutional whenever
such acts are in conflict with the
Federal constitution, would be ac-
copied. The first to take up the
guage in behalf Of constitutional
government was Ray J. Quinlivan,
able st. Cloud lawyer, and former
member of the legislature. Mr..
Quinlivan is a well grounded law
yer, and in addition possesses a
large measure of native ability and
wit. If the Governor accepts Mr..
Quinlivan as an opponent the de-
bate will be worth going great dis
tances to hear. Mr.. Quinlivan may
have some difficulty in keeping the
Governor from turning the debate
into a burlesque, but while devoid
of the articles of the political
charlatan his eye teeth have reach
ed full maturity and little need be
feared from that angle. 1t would
not surprise us in the least if Mr..
Quinlivan energies from the con-
test national figure and one who

Wolf Stories

An old woodsman up in the Be

of space in his home town paper to
tell what he knows about welves
killing deer. He says with 30 years
in the woods he has never known
an authentic instance Of a deer be-
ing pulled down by wolf. He says
such stories are on a par with tales
about wolves chasing hunters and
travellers up trees. He says, in short,
that there is as little probability of
a brush wolf killing deer as there
is of Joe Wolf united the Democrat
ic party in Minnesota.-Fairmont
