Sirloin is highest at 40 cents a

is one holdout, with prices up 3
cents a pound on all cuts.

WRICHT'S FATE.
BY TOMORROW
Long DeIiberation on
Staying Seen

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10 Q.N.S0.
The fate Of Paul A. Wright, ac-
cused slayer Of his wife, Evelyn,
and friend, John B. Kimmel. will
rest in the hands Of jury tomor-
row. Final arguments by counsel
began today.
Courtroom observers of the for
mer manager of the Union Air
Terminal here fight for his life on
the grounds he killed his young
wife and Kimmel because he en-
countered them in a passionate
embrace at the Wright home last
November 9, were of the opinion
the jury deliberation would be
long and drawn out.
MASS OF TESTIMONY
The observation was based on
the long length Of the trial, the
mass of testimony and the fact
that the principal question to be
decided is less one of fact than of
psychology.
That question is:
Did Wright know what he was
doing when he killed the pair or
was he mentally unconscious from
emotional shock?
The defense claims the latter,
while the State has charged that
Wright was cold and deliberate
killer.
CHARACTER BLASTED
AS final arguments began, the
jury of eight men and four women
heard Wright pictured by Assis-
tnta Prosecutor J. M. Leavey, "a
whimpering, whining defendant,
telling any story to save himself;
dragging into the mire the reputa-
tions Of his wife and his friend,
who cannot defend themselves be-
cause they are dead"

LIFE EXPECTANCY INCREASES

A newborn baby in Key West, or in
any other city of the United States, may
expect to live 61.26 years This is the
average figure for the United States.
The parents of the baby had a much
shorter life expectancy at their birth, only
about 1924
Figures like these. have led some Am
orleans to assume that the individual has
expectation of living to a greater age than
the men and women of earlier years. How
ever, the gain in average expectation is
largely due TO improved health for chill
dren, which lifts the average by eliminat-
ing the deaths of infants and young chill
dren.
For example, if 100 persons, born
thirty years ago, included fifty babies who
died in their first year, the rest of the
group could all live to be 100 years old
without showing an average of more than
sos years. However, If 100 persons, born
thirty years ago, would all die at the age
of 81, the average of the group would be
81 years This impossible illustration, we
think, will show the reader that average
expectancy is not to be confused with the
prospect of ripper age for the adult mem
bers of the group.
In fact. xhile statisticians conclude
that We live longer than we did, which is
based on the average life. il is, impossible
to say from any known tables of'longevity
how much logger any of us may expect to
live in the future The life span of man,
figured or an average. has been raised by
twelve years ina generation, but the maxi
mum number of years that an individual
can exist has probably not been raised at

The German government has ap-

its citizens in foreign countries shall like

OF course, this is talk, so far as the
United States IS concerned, but it might
mean something to the smaller nations of

world must know that Germany does not
intend to tolerate the mistreatment of her
racial comrades outside the Reich Dor
raers1aand that Germany must demand
that her brothers outside her borders be

spects." That, he concludes, sis not ex-
