CAN WE CHEAT DEATH?|
No, Science Admits, But
Life Expectancy Can
Be Raised
By JOSEPH w. LaBINE

Since the world began man
has sought to cheat death. Some
have looked for the Fountain
of Youth; others, more scien-
tific, admit earthly Immortality
is impossible but cling to the
chance that mans visit here be-
low may be heightened.
Foremost pioneers in this
work are Americas insurance
companies who currently cele-
brate Life Insurance week. The
combined mass of statistics
gathered by these firms during
the past century has given
America an amazingly accu-
rate picture of how long the av-
erage man can expect to live,
and what he can do to live
longer. ....-..
These figures, linked with re-
ports of sensational medical de-
velopments, today give John
Public good reason to believe
he will live longer than his
great-grandfather. He may
even dream of the day when
science can give him new
mechanism to replace his de-
caying vital organs.
But artificial hearts are
flimsy and intangible. A more
startling fact is that science
has given the United States
more than 1900, 900, 900 years of life
since the American Revolution. A
child born $50 years ago could ex-
pect to live from 80 to 35 years,
while seven years ago the newborn
infant had a life expectancy of SO
to 63 years-a girl baby four years
longer than a boy.
Thus, in $50 years, the average
span of life has been boosted Is
years!
Joint Fight on Death.
No single factor is responsible.
Man, though selfish in his instinct
for self preservation, has co-operat-
ed with other men whom he knew
could help cope with the problem of
premature death. Scientific work
ers looked to the insurance compa-
MES for figures showing what causes
death. Little known mortality facts
were excavated from the mire of
superstitious centuries, and erased.
Cities, states and the federal gov
eminent co-operated in eliminating
hazards.
Figures from the United States
public health service reveal that a
good way to live longer is to be
born in North or South Dakota, Kan
sas or Oklahoma-and to stay there.
Statistics compiled through the
years prove that expectation of life
in those states is almost 10 per cent
greater than for the nation as a
whole. AS a second choice the seek
er after long life might pick Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming, Minnesota, Iowa, Missou-
ri, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Alabama
or Mississippi.
100-Year Goal.
The term "span of life" is con-
fusing. Science points out that it
has not changed through the CEN
turtles. Probably as many persons
lived to be 80 in ancient Rome as
in New York city today. The span,
or maximum average life, is about
100 years. Although the 1880 CEN
sus showed 1854 persons who

Country; 7 w o Re-

London, Sept. 1O.-(AP)-Prim ;
Minister Chamberlain, in the midst of
conferences with cabinet members, 90
position leaders and critics from his
own party, moved bruskly today 70
ouell a weller of excited speculatio =
over what Britain is going to do 70
stop Hitler"
An official statement from No. 10
Downing street at 1925 p. m, today
said:
"In view of statements which have
appeared in the last day or so re-
,garding reported decisions of the min-
listers, it can be stated authoritatively
that no such statement should be re-
garded as authentic"
Later a foreign office spokesman
said no new note had been sent to
Germany and no new instructions
had been given to Sir Neville Hen
derson, the British ambassador, now
at Nurnberg, where Chancello"
Adolf Hitler of Germany is attending
the Nazi party congress.
The statement disposed of two re-
ports widely current in London. One
of these was that Britain was sending
a note to Chancellor Hitler telling him
she would not stand aside if Hitler
marched into Czechoslovakia. Anoth-
er was that Sir Henderson would be
given new orders to confer with Hit.
Ter and convince him there was no
bluff in repeated yelled warnings
from London.

Cherry Return
Might Affect
Speakership
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Sept. 1O.-Political wise
acres in this neck of the woods are
willing to lay a few small wagers that
the name of Gregg Cherry will be fire.
quently mentioned in connection with
the speakership of the 1889 House, de-
spite the fact that in taking a COM
mittee nomination for one of Gaston's
seats the Iron Major tried to make
it clear that he will come back as Il
private in the legislative ranks and
not with any aspirations again to oc-
cupy the dais from which he hurled
so many barbed wisecracks at hapless
members in 1887.
Nobody thinks that Cherry is go
ing to make fight for the speaker
ship, all conceding that he is alb
solutely sincere in his present inten-
ton to come back just as one of the
boys.
On the other hand, those who peer
into the crystal ball of the political
future see the possibility OF a dead
lock when it comes to naming the
1889 presiding officer for the House
with Victor Bryant, Libby Ward and
Bill Fenner dividing the votes in such
a manner that none of them will
have the majority needed to nominate
in caucus.
It is then, these peerers point out,
that Cherry's name will come back
into the picture What coulS be more
natural or logical, they ask, than that
the man who so ably, if ruthlessly
kept the 1897 House working at full
speed and strictly on the administra-
tons side of the fence?
AS a matter of fact, it is decidedly
doubtful that Gregg would accept the
post. even under the conditions cited
He is now State chairman of the
Democratic party, and it is hardly
likely that he would want to hog al
the honors lying about.
Just the same the Cherry name il
going to be banded about in connec-
ton with the speakershil'.

Former Assistant u.
S. Attorney Testifies
at Trial of Tammany
Chief

New York, Sept. 10.-(AP)-Lyon
Boston. New York lawyer, and once
assistant under former District Attor-
ney William Dodge, testified today in
the conspiracy lottery trial of James
]. Hines that Dodge ordered an in
vastigation of Hines in 1884.
Boston also testified that he aided
Dodge in what he described as re-
lentless drive against policy racket
ers during the same year. The wit
ness, a slim young man, son OF Char
les Anderson Boston, former president
of the American Bar Association, was
called bv Denfense Counsel Lloyd
Striker to counter testimony that
Dodge was influenced, inundated or

full Tammany Hall leader, as the
State charges.
Boston said in March, 1884, Dodge
summoned him in connection with an
Investigation of the policy gambling
game. The OOO,OOO-a-year Dutch
Schultz enterprise, which District At
torney Thomas Dewey's witnesses
have accused Hines of serving In the
role of political fixer,'' Boston sale

in the policy racket, and that If the
reports were true to indict and pro
