i ward was accepted by the press to- day as a solution to Britain's con- stitutional crisis.
 The News Chronicle, liberal par- ! ty organ which first suggested the possibility of a morganatic mar riage betwee.. the king and the at- tractive American divorcee, said editorially:-
 "The way to personal renuncia- ton has been made clear and pro- voking by the act of the woman he loves.
 What she can do he also can do and 1t is his duty to do it."
 The Dali Express declared Mrs. Simpsons statement "can mean only one thing-that she is mak- ing a renunciation."
 There is certain to be unhappi- ness for the king whatever his fi- nal decision may be-" said the Morning Post. "Unhappiiy. that in- hefent situation exists. The declar- ation issued last night in Mrs. Simpsons behalf is proof enough of that. However, 1t may avert the worst that has been threatened" Irish Independant The Irish Independent, comment ing in Dublin for the first time on the crisis, declared:
 "The situation that has arisen as result of the kings unfortunate infatuation i5 extremely regretted, In no Catholi: country can support or countenance be given to the re- marriage of divorced persons. The higher placed politically or social- ly the individual is who contracts such marriage, the more offensive 1t is to Catholic ideas.
 Conflicts between inclination and duty occur in the lives of hundreds of thousands or people and the or dinary man in the street is sup- posed to choose right even if the path is difficult No less can be expected from the king whose du- ties and privileges are on larger scale than, but no essentially dif- ferent from, those of the ardinary citizen"

population of the United States, treating Vhite males and white females separately. This is not only a fairer basis of comparison, since the insured wage-earners are essen- tially urban dwellers, but 1t is also a severer test, since the gain in ex- pectation of life in the urban area of the United States from 1910 to 1930 was greater than that in the rural area. It is now found that white males of age 10 in the urban area of the United States gained 3.95 years of life from 1910 to 1880, while white male industrial policy holders at the same age gained 6.77 years from 1911-12 to 1880. The corresponding gains for white females 10 years of age were 4.22 and 5.48 years respectively. In both cases theadvantage in years gained is with the insured wage-earners over the general population. If this advantage is maintained, one may look forward to @ time, in the near future, when the longevity of the wage-earning population will equal that of the general population"

tContinued from Page 1.) An accurate check of deaths in the flood which swept across Isa- bela.t Viscaya and Cagayan prov inces, was impossible. Communica- tions were cut by the roaring tor rent.
 Relief of Homeless The Filipino cutter Canlaon, load- ed with medicine and other SUD- plies, was under orders to sail to Aparri to relieve the homeless.
 The army announced it would dispatch another plane to fly over the flooded area for survey, where 54 barrios (natiye village) were re- ported inundated. fS
 The military authorities directed rescue and relief work. They had no reports here. however, for 24 hours on the extent of the disaster. Army officers said they awaited the report of Maj. Gen. B. J. Valdes, deputy chief of staff, who made an airplane initial survey flight. NUulAAuIkCt1eAUAIS NWt
 Communication with Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya provinces, where flood waters were described as 36 feet above the normal river stage, was broken off.
 Lieut.. Pedro Dionisio, a constabu- lary commander stationed at Echgue in Isabela provinuce, said the loss of life was enormous" Dionisio beat the flood waters to his headquarters and got off @ tele- gram for help to Manila before the rushing torrent disrupted communi- cation.

judgeship appointments. This is what Governor Cross does not want because of the Cooney tieup with the famous judgeship deal of the 1883 session of the legislature.
 Clear Sailing for Mayor
 Mayor Hayes is not being op- posed by anybody in his claim fo, authority to name the clerk of the senate. Then selection of the as- sistant clerk will be left up to the democratic senators-elect ot the 1897 session attending Thursday nights session. The favorite ap- pears to be Attorney John M. Bailey of Hartford, close political associate of Mayor Spellacy.
 Of special interest here is the governors battle to name Senator Lawlor as president pro tempore If elected to this post Senator Law Tor will have the naming of all senate committees. He will, un- doubtedly, follow the dictates oi Governor Cross and thus frustrate the attempt of Mayor Spellacy tc get Senator -elect Cooney on the Judiciary committee where the judgeships for the 1937-1938 period will be meted out.

stake which the king was riskine for her sake and an alarm, verg- ing upon panic, which they said was rising as the sweeping import of the emergency was brought home to her.
 Now that the statement has been made, and the king is approaching his decision, parliamentarians who have been working for him and others who have been trying to ef- feet breach between him and Mrs. Simpson. asked each other:
 How VIII He React
 How will his majesty react" What will he decide"
 Their real hope was that the king would announce that he would refrain. on the advice of his minis ters. from marrying. But they ad- mitted 1t was only hope-and the better they knew him, apparently. the more doubt they had that he would renounce Mrs. Simpson.
 Whatever the king does. his ad- visers believe, must be done quickly. Otherwise they fear opinion will turn against him. If he did renounce Mrs. Simpson at what the country knows to be terrible cost to himself, there would be a tremendous wave of sympathy for him and it is held that his position would be even strengthened because of his sacri- flee.

New York, N. Y. The wage-earn- CTS of the United States and Carl- ada, as represented by the 100000 industrial policyholders of the Metropolitan Life Innsurance com- pany, have passed for the first time the co year mark in their expecta- ton of life at birth. This figure Is only slightly under that of the general population of the United States, in which, naturally, is in- cluded a large proportion of persons in the higher income groups, with better -than-average mortality rec ords.
 During the quarter century, from 1911 to 1935-a period unique in history, sincme it included not only the orld War, but 8 devastating in- fluenza epidemic and worldwide economic depression-the life ex- pectancy at birth of the insured policyholders showed a gain of 1882 years, advancing from 46.63 in 1911 to the record figure of 60.25 in 1895. The life expectancy at birth for the U. S Registration Area showed a gain from 1911 to 1884 of only TITS years, or from 53.04 in 1911 to 60.79 in 1894. In the same period the gain among the insured policyhold- CTS was l2.82 years.
 This, however, is merely 8 broad comparison" the statisticians say. Prom age 10 up the data permit finer distinctions. Thus 1t is possi- ble to compare the gain in expec- tation of life among the insured wage-earners with that in the urban

the newspapers where such a re- ward had been paid to Anthony Bisile," an alleged strikepreaker, and that he believed" 8 similar reward had been given Mary Maltese"
 Rewards for Arrests
 The rewards, he said, were offered flor bringing cases into court and proving charges of intimidation of workers"
 Officials of the union, he said had received information at head quarters that offers of rewards were posted inside the company plant.
 Smith was one of three witnesses who took the stand as the govern ment rested it's hearing into charges of unfair practices preferred against President James H. Rand, Jr.
 Two other witnesses, President James L. McConaughy, president oi Wesleyan University, and Middle town Councilman Eugene L. Clark were excused. McConaughy wa understood to be in New York city.
 Spy In Their Ranks
 Smith also told the hearing thai Joseph Germaine, described earlier as having joined the strike and al the same time remained employed on the night shift, had been placed in charge of the Union Headquarters telephones and it was curious that Germaine always made 1t point to answer the telephones first.
 Nearly every day." he said, Ger maine always asked to be excused for an hour and a half to two hours"
 Germaine had been charged by Edward c. Harris, Strikebreaker, with having attended union meet ings and reporting proceedings to company officials.
 Frederick Slack, who said he was employed at the Middletown plant in the press department, said an- other employe of that department George Halliday, sent him a tele- gram last June 25 and after he met him at his home, related "he had a plan to save the plant from leaV- ing Middletown."
 Halliday Had Plan
 Halliday, he said, met with the union committee and said he "could do a great deal" because he could "get In personal contact with Rand and Simpson"
 w. J. A. Simpson Is chief counse! for President Rand.
 He again saw Halliday July l, he testified, and Halliday told him Why don't you come in," and ol' fered him $15 ito make 1t wortF my while"
 Slack said he replied, nothing doing, George"
 Halliday then offered to arrange a meeting with Rand or Simpson he said, and on July 2 he received another telegram informing hin interview arranged"
 T ignored it," Slack said.
 Between June 26 and July 2, he continued, he was told by Joseph Havelack, his foreman, the plant was going to move and will you talk to the boys and girls in the press department and ask them to SC back to work?"
 They All Said No"
 Slack said he preached the sub- feet to the strikers in the picket lines and "all said no"
 Havelack then arranged to meet him in the lobby of the Central National Bank and he told him nothing doing"
 The only other witness today waa Raymond E. Spencer, Portland. a shipping clerk, who testified that "between 85 and 98 per cent" oi shipments he marked were inter- state commerce.
