. Job in which there is frequently "too
much to do," she feared that her
reading might have to be neglected.
So she set aside each morning to
spend with her books, and that &C
counts for the fact that 1t Is indeed
q rare thing to find her away from
the house before lunch time. And
more likely than not, when the Cum
mingses come home from q party at
night, they will stop for 4 few more
chapters in the library.
One reason why Mrs. Cummings IS
able to cover the current literature in

Cummings was slated to 60 to Manila
As Governor General and until the

came Attorney General instead, Mrs.
Cummings read 40 books on the Phil

Fast reading doesn't mean any less
thorough reading for Mrs. Cummings,
If for no other reason than that she
must act as ''critic if chief" for her
husband. That is, she carefully re-
views for him the books that he is
unable to get to because Of the press

A Devotee Of the Theater.
But when you talk books to Mrs.

her deep attachment for the theater,
shared likewise by her husband.
From Greenwich, Conn.,, where the
Cummingses have their other home,
1t was nothing to run into New York
to the theater. Since coming to
Washington, Mrs. Cummings has al
lowed herself a spring and fall frolic
when she goes up to see all the plays
She had to miss it, however, last
spring, when she went to London to
be presented at court.

that she must read things through

ToYour Health! 1888 Looms as Con- tender for Greatest Health Record in
 De c a d e s.

Present signs indicate an out standing health year for the gen. eral population of the United States. One large cross-section- the 17,700,000 industrial policy holders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company-during the first three months of 1888 estab- lished the lowest mortality ever attained by this group for that season of the year. The March death rate of 8.4 per 1000 was the lowest ever reached in March by the insured wage-earners. Whereas usually March has the highest or next to highest mor- tality of any month in the year, the statisticians of the company point out that in 1888 the March rate was actually lower than any year-round average but one in the last 10 years. "The record for the month," they say, "is signal example of the remarkably favor able health conditions now pre- vailing among insured wage earners."
 Indicating how the country in general has an excellent start with respect to mortality, it is pointed out that for 1888, up to the week ending April 16th, the number of deaths in the general population of 86 large cities was 1884 less than during the cor responding period of 1887. In New York City, up to April 23rd, pro- visional reports show that sub- stantial reductions had occurred in mortality for the first quarter of the year, as compared with the same period of 1887.
 Among the Metropolitan's Ca- nadian industrial policyholders an improvement of 5.3 per cent oc- cured in their death rate for the first three months of this year as compared with the first quarter of 1887.
 Among the entire group of policyholders, diseases for which especially favorable mortality was recorded for the first quarter of 1888 were tuberculosis, influenza and pneumonia. diseases of preg- nancy and childbirth, scarlet fever, whooping cough, diabetes, heart disease and chronic nephri- tis, while small decline in death rates were noted for cancer, cer- ebral hemorrhage, and appendi- citis. A slight drop occurred in suicides and homicides, while the mortality from all forms of acci- dents dropped per cent, as com- pared with the first quarter of 1887. Automobile fatalities de- clined 12 per cent in the cumula- tive mortality rate.
 The only diseases to show im- portant increases in the mortal ity rate as compared with the first three months of last year were measles and diseases of the cor onary arteries.

Rev. Dr. John Walker Says Troublous Times o
 Present Should Move Us to Fervent Prayer

who suffer for conscience sake ill Germany, for Japanese soldiers who hate the life they live, the dastardly work they do, for peoples every where longing for freedom, for we'll being, for the bare necessities of life, but bearing oppression, ty- ranny, doomed to live and die like rats in a trap of circumstances over which they have now no control and for which they have little or no re- sponSibility.
 These are troublous times, peril ouS times. For untold millions of people, the world around these are times rich in disaster. Times like these ought to move us to deep devotion and fervent prayer. The passion and death of Jesus, the sac- rifice of the just for the unjust, the innocent for the guilty, seems and is temporary in time and place. Christ is crucified all across the world today. There are cruci- tixionS in every street, across all lands. And I believe, and I believe that you believe, that the way out of the perils of these times is the way of the cross. Or as a British statesman puts it, "What men need today in this time of trouble is not a way out so much as way of high and manly living within"
