Healthier on This Side

Both the general death rate and the in- fant mortality rate in the United States hit new lows in 1888. The figures for that wear are the latest which have been com piled. How the nations health was rated last wear will not be known for some time. But of one thing Americans can be cer- tain - both immediate health and pros poets of longevity look good deal better on taic side of the Atlantic ocean than they do on the European side.
 The general death rate in 1888 was 1O.6 per 1000 as compared with LIZ m 1887. The previous low record was set in 1883 when the rate was 107 The infant mortality rate in 1888 was 50.9 per 1000, the lowest in American history. The rate in 1886 was 57; in 1884, 1t was 60, and the average rate between 1921 and 1925 was "A. Few European countries would care t. scan their health statistics during the past couple of years when the peril ot war kept them concentrating on methods of ending, not sustaining life. It IS proo- able that, in most of these countries, the necessity for concentrating on the nlili- tary machine will put considerable dent in records of health advancement.
 Americans should be proud that condi- tions in this country make 1t possible for scientists to proceed with their humani- tarian works. They are still free to work in their laboratories along lines they have chosen. They are not compelled to bend their talents toward finding new pro- cesSes to destroy, new formulae for war. Their job of saving humanity has not yet become futile farce. Their work Is not 8 profanity of life. They do not need to save lives so that the products of other scientists and inventors can snuff out those lives on battleflelds. American scientists are too busy with the art of life to bother with the arts of death. Nothing they do will be wasted as long as the rank and file of us keep conditionS that way.
 Americans have reason to feel satisfied with their lot. But to feel too secure about health Is to invite retrogression. The battle to preserve life does not belong alone to the scientists. They can point the way, but they can succeed in their missions only when the people they are trying to help are willing to cooperate.
 Dr. Thomas Parran, surgeon general of the United States, said recently: Ut should always be borne in mind that the general mortality rate Is national av- craze in which are obscured significantly high rates among certain groups of the population and in certain localities.
 Despite the steady inroads that have been made against disease, much remains to be done. No one realizes that better than the medical profession Constant attempts are being made to broaden the scope of medical benefits. Persistent cam paigns are fostered to instill in people respect for preventative methods. Ameri- cans are not willing to relax this fight against death. They are not willing to substitute for 1t the battle against life.

rolls. And the IVA pays next to noth- ing in taxes itself, by comparison with what was paid by the private power com panies it has absorbed. The result is that state and local units of government have been trying, unsuccessfully, to make both ends meet without soaking the re- maining taxpayers.
 A considerable number of public off, cials in Tennessee are now demanding that Congress pass law removing TWAS tax immunity. And the Georgia legisla- ture has passed two bills attempting to give taxing bodies the right to tax Federal property engaged in proprietary" busi- ness in competition with private enter prise.
 Now it appears, according to eminent lawyers, that these efforts are likely to prove all in vain. There is no precedent whereby Congress could give states the right to tax Federal property-and even if Congress did pass such law there are grave doubts as to it's constitutionality And the same legal experts are convinced that Georgia's laws will never survive att tack in the Federal courts.
 So the Southeast is learning that it can't have it's cake and eat it, too This same problem is faced by every section where tax-exempt government projects compete with heavily-taxed private enter prise. All citizens are having to pay more dollars in taxes because of the blessing" of few cents reduction in electric bills, accorded privileged sections through tax SubSidiZation.

A Baby and a Ring

Immortal Baby Jean, who has lived only six months of her eternal" life on earth as ward of the Royal Fraternity of Master Metaphysicians, was presented recently with a $50,000 diamond ring by Mrs. Anne Tomlinson, late of Monte Carlo. One can think of no safer place to deposit valuable gem than in the safe-keeping of one who Is being groomed to live on and on and on ad infinitum, ad nauseann.
 Baby Jean, you will recall was adopted by the metaphysicians not very long ago as the object of an experiment. She will be brought up in the cheerful seclusion of the fraternity's Peace Haven (Long Is- land) home. There will be no talk of death or sickness or human suffering; and, as result, the metaphysicians con- tend, she will live forever.
 The prospect of eternal life on earth Is, at best, little dreary. The individual is badly constituted to withstand the shocks of earthly civilization for longer than a century at the very most. Imagine how desolate you would feel if you happened still to be around when scientists dug down for that capsule, thoughtfully pre- served by the New York Worlds Fair people for the progeny of 6939. That kind of eternity will begin to wear on you after while.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-01-15

From now on you will see more and more about the Fair. We refer to the New York Worlds Fair. Publicity for same will be steady and continuous, SO that no one will be likely to forget that the Fair opens again this spring with many of the same features and plenty of new ones. Those that did the Fair thor oughly last year will know the ropes this year and if they liked it sufficiently, will return for repeat next spring, summer tnd fall: Those who never got there last year will have the advantage>of knowing, through the accounts given by those more fortunate and by year or more of read ing about it, just what they want to see and how much. New amusements in the "play" area will be provided, and the state exhibits, 1t is announced, will be shown at much less cost, the rent having been appreciably reduced. So now in January we look forward to an even big ger and better fair.

AMERICANS ARE SUCKERS FOR LUST CAUsEsS-WATCH

 Waterbury Conn,

 There Isn't c chance in e million that we'll ever want to fight on the side of Hitler but there is a good chance that we will get sucked into fight for the Great British Empire. NSo why worry about the boloney Hitler hands out? Why not really worry about debunking the British propaganda flooding the country?
 Tn the last one they told us 1t was c war for democracy, woman- hood, etc., and therefore, Q just war. Now they're building this one tip to Do the biggest, the best end the most just of them oil. The slo. gans say tb [ this is e holy war with the angel Of mercy on one side and Satan on the other.
 Barnufi1 said there's e sucker born every minute. We Americans are just the suckers for "justp causes. We ought to know, even if the news papers won't tell, that the British and French are losing their democ- racics with more speed and effi- ciency than they gre fighting the war. By all accounts we will lose ours also if we get in.

Washington's Illinois State So- ciety is making an innovation at its annual banquet this week. 1n- stead of the usual political big wig, the guest speaker will be one of the states leading news papermen, V.

Sixty per cent of Congress does not think Roosevelt will be elected for @ third term, according to a poll by Columbia Survey published in Look magazine this week. On the other hand, 23 per cent of the Capitol Hill moguls thought he would be elected, while i7 per cent couldn't make up their minds Iowa has something new in the prohibition line; Q State Temperance director.

Hallet Tells Lusty Story of Frontier

There were two Michael Beams. One was the almost savage man Of the wilderness, the hunter, track CT, fighter who loved the Winnebago Indian girl, Red Bloom. The other Michael Beam was the educateo lawyer, the founder of town, the civilized white man who loved Charlessie Carteret.
 Richard Mattews Hallet tells the story of these two natures of his hero in e stirring novel of the Ohio- Illinois frontier, Michael Beam" (fIoughton Mifflin: 42.60). If you're thirsting for lusty advea- ture, Michael Beam will i'll all re- quirements.
 Michael might have settled down to the staid existence of e country lawyer in Chillicothe, Ohio, if the bank trouble had not come up. Michael was states rights man. When Ohio levied on the National Bank of the United States, Michael helped collect the tax by taking c crowbar to the bank vault. Federal troops moved in and Michael ned westward.
 He started out as trader, fell in love with the Red Bloom, who has e taste for brandy And Q happy faculty for appearing out of the forest at the right minute. Michael might have turned squaw man AEid gone completely savage had he not dropped into the middle of town site quarrel and found himself the founder of 6 village. Sorry Crossing.
 Charlessie Carteret was another complicating factor. Her arrival in Sorry Crossing made life more ui1. comfortable for Michael. She could deny her love for the frontiersn1an even though she was willing to marry e thieving Indian agent.
 Black Hawks war, Michaels capture by Indians and inevitable tragedy speed the book to an ex- citing conclusion.
 There are few dull spots in 'Michael Beam." fIallet Is sym. pathetic in his treatment of the Indian, and his use of weird Indian magic and folklore give his story unusual flavor.

This is the season of polls to decide the best photoplay of the year and the best acting. One group announces its awards, then another, and then another, so that we have at least half dozen bests of the year. One of the first to make awards gave Vivien Leigh first award among the ladies for the best acting, and "Wurther- ing Heights" the award for best photo play. The latest poll is forthcoming from the film Daily, financial publica- ton, which bases it's awards on the opin- ion of the nations critics, who have given as their choice as best of the year, Good outstanding in the opinion of many for the particular kind of picture that 1t is, and the excellent direction as well as act ing of Robert Donat. Incidentally the picture is still running in Metropolitan areas.
