Other important factors involV ed in reducing the general death rate among the young American white males include a drop in the influenza and pneumonia death rate during the 1911-1939 period in mortality from acci- 'dsnts a 50 percent reduction in the heart disease death rate and a drop in the typhoid death rate from 30 per 100000 in 1911 to less than one per 100000 in 1889.
 For most causes of death inn provements in motality in the age goup 15-24 have been more pronounced among white females than among the white males.

Youths Of Draft Age Found To Be Healthier

NEW YORK Outstanding i'm provement in the health of young Americans of draft age, or approaching it is indicated by the mortality records of the Met ropolitan Life Insurance Com pany, whose white Industrial pol icy holders - ages 15 to A - have a death rate only one third of what it was for the correspond ing age group in 1911, according to company statisticians. This ia vorabie health situation, it is ex- plained is due largely to the phen omenal drop in tuberculosis mortality among this group of young American men. Their death rate from this cause de- clined from 222 per 100000 in 1911 to 19 per 100000 in 1889.
 Thus, the improvement in tu berculosis mortality has been so rapid that within a single genera tion,' the statisticians point out, "he death rate was reduced to less than one tenth of the initial value. Moreover in 1911 about 40 percent of all deaths of adoles- cent and young adult males were from tuberculosis; in 1889 only II percent of all deaths resulted rom this cause"

REFUNDS BE ALLOWED
 ON 1886, 1887, 1888 TAXES

Commissioner of Internal Rev anue Guy T. Helvering in state ment issued recently called at tention to section 701 of the re- gently enacted Second Revenue Act of l94O. This section is of particular interest to employers who failed to pay their contribu tions to State unemployment funds for 1886, l937, 1888 or 1889 in time to entitle them to the credit against the Federal unem ployment tax for those years.
 The section provides that if contributions for 1886, 1887, or 1888 are paid to the State on or before December 6, 1940, the amount of such contributions will be allowable as credit az ainst the Federal tax for those years. The amount of such cred it, however may not in any case exceed 90 per cent of the tax against which it is applied. Un- der the law as 1t existed prior to the enactment of this section, credit against the tax for the years 1886. 1887 and 1888 was allowable only if the contribu- tions for those years were paid prior to October 9, 1939
 The section also provides that employers may receive credit ag- ainst the Federal unemployment tax for 1889 if the contributions for that year are paid to the State on or before December 6, 1940. The amount of such credit however will be limited to 90 per cent of the amount which would have been allowable as credit had the contributions been paid on or before the date fixed for the filing of the employers re- turn for such year. This date, unless otherwise extended, was January 31, 1940.
 In many instances, Commis- sioner Helvering explained, em- ployers of eight or more who were denied the credit because of late contributions have filed claims for refund or abatement. In othzr instances, the Bureau of Internal Revenue has inform ation which will permit the prompt adjustment of the re- turns. It was pointed out how ever that the Bureau probably does not have a record of some employers who paid the full amount of the Federal tax and also made full contribution to the  State unemployment funds. In such cases, it was emphasized the taxpayers affected have the priv ilege of filing claims for refunds. Such claims may be filed within four years from the date the Federal tax was paid to the col lector and will be considered for allowance, provided the con- trlbutions to the State unemploy ment funds have been made on or before December 6, 1940 Where refunds are made under this reli-f provision, the law pro vides that no interest shall be allowed.
 l The new law also provides spec ial relief for the years 1886, 1937 1888. and 1889 in bankruptcy pro ceedings and other cases where the assets of the taxpayer are in custody or control of a court
