Pity The Males! Women "Outliving'' Men Life Span Extending, Health
 Statistics
 Sh low

A surplus of women in the American population has become a certainty of the future because women are outliving the men and curtailed immigration will not add enough males to make up the nu- merical difference between the sexes, according to the statiSti- clans of the Metropolitan Life h. Surance Company. ..t
 Pointing out that the proportion of women in the population has been growing since the turn, Of the century, the statisticianS say that, from 1901 to 1887, the mor- tality of white women improved steadily and at greater rate than that of men. AS a result, the ex- pectation of life at birth has in- creased IA years for women but only 12 and one half years for men. In 1901, a girl baby atbirth had an expectation of life 2.85 years greater than that of baby boy, but by 1887 the difference in favor of the girl had increased to 4.33 years.
 Practically every age of life shows lower death rates for Amer ican women than for men and al- so a more rapid reduction in the death rate. As result of these shiftir.- conditions, it is explained, the ratio of female to male mor- tality among the white population has changed materially. In 1901, for instance, the female mortality in infancy was 83 per cent of the corresponding male mortality. By 1887 this ratio was reduced to 79 per cent. An even greater change occurred at age 20, for. in 1901. the ratio of female to male mor- tality was e3 per cent, but in 1887 " had dropped to 77 per cent.
 "These differentials in the i'm. provement in mortality and longevity will undoubtedly affect the sex ratio of the population" the Statisticians say. with lower mortality and greater longevity out of each years cohort Of new ly born, Q larger proportion of females than of males will survive to later ages. In this situation, and in the absence of any sub. stantlal immigration, it b very likely that the ratio Of females Co males in our population VIII show . continuing increase"

Factories Donate$4 ,831 to Visiting Nurse Ca1

The Board of Education, by a vote of 6 to 3, last night refused the Zindah Grotto permission to dis tribute tickets for its annual circus in the schools. The commissioners who refused permission said they feared establishing a precedent, questioned the "commercialism" of the Grotto enterprise, and expressed the belief that if permission were granted there would be no valid req son for refusing other organizations similar privileges.
 At meeting two weeks ago, Com missioner Ray Stone made a motion to grant permission to the Grotto, but as the. motion was not seconded, the matter was dropped. The request was renewed last night, how ever, by Warren D. Platt, Grotto representative, appearing in person.
 Safety Measure
 MT. Platt said the object of the Grotto in distributing tickets in the schools was safety for the children. He pointed out that no collection of money is made in the schools, but with the cooperation of teachers the tickets are distributed in such way as to divide the attendance. He said that otherwise the children might all pile down to the armory on the same day, making it impossible to handle them.
 He said there has been no acci- dent at the circus in the past six years because of this "precaution." l" (Former boards of education granted the Grotto permission to distribute tickets in the schoolS.)
 MT. Platt said also that poor chil- dren were allowed to attend the circus free of charge.
 Mrs. Lowell RecOnsiders
 The vote on the matter was simi- lar to stand taken by the board members in the discussion last night and two weeks ago with the excep- tion of Mrs. Emma Lowell, who opposed the Grotto request two weeks ago, and voted for it last night.

Generous Donation
 Marks Appreciation of
 Work Accomplished
Association Needs $l7,OOO to Carry Out l94O's Pro- gram of Activities Attorney UpsOn
 Appeal to Public in BrOadCastS

In recognition of the splendid, un- selfish community activities of the Visiting Nurse association, the var- ious industrial concerns of Water bury have manifested their apprec- iation in most substantial fashion the donation of $4,831 to the ST. 900 quota sought in the present campaign.
 Leading officials of the concerns have also arranged to make personal donations to the cause so that the sick of Waterbury will not be with out Friend" in an emergency.
 The Visiting Nurse asociation's committee today voiced its gratitude to the industrial executives and con- fidently believe that their action will point the way for others to CO., operate. A public statement acknow- edging the contribution commented in part today as follows:
 Aids Industry
 'The heads of industry in this city feel that the work done by the Association contributes directly to good work in industry. Prevention of illness and assurance on the workers part that his family is be- ing guarded against contagious dis ease and other ailments make for a minimum of accidents. It is a proved fact that many accidents oc- cur when a worker is distracted be- cause of worry and weariness caused by sickness at home"
 Laurence G. Bean, Sales Man ager of the Bristol Company, and chairman of the finance committee of the Visiting Nurse Association, stated this morning, '"The officers and directors of the VIVA are grate- full for the splendid gift from the Waterbury industries. However, there is over $12,000 more to be raised ir small amounts from in- dustrial workers, clerks, stenogra- phers, teachers and people in every walk of life who will benefit by a healthy Waterbury. There is no better way to participate in a move ment for better city than to give generously to the VIVA, which re- lieves anguish, prevents suffering, saves many lives, and thus helps raiss the standard of physical and mental health of our whole com- muriity. Let's give what we can for this worthwhile enterprise"

SCHOOL CANCER

Dr. VastOla Thinks States Annual Appropriation for
 Research Ridiculous

Dr.. Anthony P. Vastola declared cancer is a personal problem and cannot be checked by medical men or scientists alone, in a most inter- esting and educational address at last evenings central Y lobby form. Every man ana woman, he added, has a place to fill and a duty to per- form in the conquest of the disease.
 Cancer is not indisputably on the increase and is neither a disease of civilization nor even confined to men alone, he told his interested audience, It is not directly transmitted either by heredity or infection and high percentage of cases may be cured if treated by surgery in their early stages, he added.
 He urged courses in high schools and colleges which acquaint young people with the disease and added that the state would benefit in the long run if it appropriated $l00,0 year instead of the ridiculous" sum of $10,00O for research and treatment programs.

Special BrOatlcasts

Mayor Vincent A. Scully and Attorney J. Warren Upson in radio support of the campaign.
 The mayor, speaking over WATR declared that the work of the VIVA cited the 35 5,463 calls made by wis., iting unreses last year, and praised the organizations fight to keep the public health high.
 MT. Scully was introduced by Charles J. Allen, of the associations board of directors.
 T assure you," said the mayor "that for every dollar collected an- nually by the V.N. A. from the pub- lie, double that amount is rendered in service. This is possible by the assistance of certain insurance com panies and some permanent fin ancial income and what is collected by those patients who can pay. The V. N. A. receives no financial help from the city, state or federal gov- ernment. In many cities that is the case but here in Waterbury they are dependent upon the gifts of oul citizens. I appeal to you at this time to help in the present financial drive"
 Free Care Emphasized
 MT. Upson, speaking over VERY stressed the importance of the free care which the V. N. A. gives tc hundreds each year. He said:
 'Of course there are some people in Waterbury who cannot afford to contribute to this work. There are however, a great many who car afford to make small contribution and there are some who can afford to contribute in substantial a. mounts. Because we have to plan our work in advance, we must know where the money. is coming from and SO the results of our campaign for funds this month will determine the policy that we must pursue for the rest of the year."

in his cups. He ordered the frantic
girls torn from their mothers arms
and carried to his ponies. Again
he sought to kill Dona Juana, and
again Monica, who could not be
wrenched from her mistress, pre-
vented the murder, offering her own
life to appease the drunken rage of
the captor.
AS the liquor worked on the saw
age his senses reeled increasingly,
and as if glutted with bloodshed,
he ordered the Dona stripped of her
clothing and driven from the house.
In the interval the buildings had all
been Quilted, and, capering before
the house, the drunken savage ar
rayed in Don Alfredo's hat ordered
the ranch buildings burned.
Fires were set. Flames were soon
rising in every direction. Drunken
Indians danced about the flames
and shot arrows into the burning
houses; others, mounting, made
ready to run off the horses from the
corral. The chief, securing the two
fainting girls on a spare pony head
ed for the mountains, hardly looked
back at the complete ruin of what,

three hours before, had been the
famed Rancho Los Alamos.
Monica, her shriveled features
streaming with grief, had crept
down to the river after her mistress
had been stripped of her clothing.
Hidden under her arm, she carried
a dress. Escaping the roaming eyes
of the marauding savages, she
worked her way stealthily down
along the river, keeping under the
shelving bank until the ranch house
and Indians were out of sight.
Leaving the river bed, she hurried
through field of barley that partly
hid her from sight until she reached
the trail to town and, turning into
this, ran at top speed. 1t was along
this trail that she knew she must
look for her mistress.
Monica had not far to seek for the
unhappy Dona. She lay partly on
her face in the hollow within which
she had striven to hide her terrible
plight. The devoted maid cried out
as she ran to her, dropping to her
knees and hugging the trembling
body in her arms while she wet it
with tears. She spoke to the hardly
conscious woman. The Dona's
wealth of golden hair swept over her
shoulders down to her waist, as if
in protest against the outrageous
treatment inflicted on her and to pro-
tect so far as it might her out
ragged sensibilities. Her half-closed
eyes, as Monica turned her face
upward and begged pathetically for
word of recognition, gave no an
swer to the weeping maid. The lips
of her mistress did indeed move,
but only in incoherent mutterings.
With the superhuman strength of the
Indian, Monica succeeded in getting
the protection of the dress she car
ried on her mistress quivering form
and laid her tenderly back, staring
with meaningless eyes into the
cloudless sky.
Monica herself, wild with despair,
began again to pray, her arms lifted
toward heaven as was her mistress

IMAGINARY INTERVIEWS:
UNCLE SAM AND JOHN
@, CITIZEN

John Q.-Sam, you look different
all of a sudden.
Uncle Sam-I feel different. In
fact, I haven't felt better in years.
John Q.-You mean to say you
feel the best in years, with this war
crisis and everything!
Uncle Sam-That's just it. I've
suddenly shed the hypocrisy, torn
off the binders and gotten rid of the
Little Lord Fauntleroy suit. I'm
even beginning to look at facts and
not vince. It's wonderful!
John Q.-But don't you think there
are tough days ahead of you? !
Uncle San-Sure. But Pm never
at my best except in tough days.
I don't want to seem boastful, but
in all these years of coddling, COM
parative ease and comfort I haven't
felt right. There were times when
I hated to see myself in a mirror.
John Otis strange, but I feel
the same way. I've been squawk-
ing and making demands all over
the lot; I've been getting sore be-
cause I had to keep the old car
three seasons; I've been, yelling
murder because there were worms
on the third green at the country
club, and I've been working up a
terrific peeve because of the lack
of free gasoline. And now, sudden
ly, they all seem unimportant and
trivial.
Uncle Sam-It's swell break for
us both.
John Q.-But it means plenty
of trouble, suppose. Do you feel
in condition for it?
