IWOVI i XT THAT THF USE OF ALCOHOLIC I5EVFRAGES shortens lite in this country was reported as a statistical fact to the eighth an nual convention of the Association of Lite Insurance President in New York Thursday. Figures on the subject were presented by Arthur Hunter, actuary, in connection with the finding of a mortality invesfgatmn into the lives of two million lite iiisiirace policy holders, covering a period ot , i i- i . : c 1...1 twen!v-tie vears. 1 Ins investigation, which n.is just itui nuism.,, j. made primarilv to assist the life insurance companies to find out which tpe of persons could be ,-i!etly accepted for insurance at the regular rates of prem ium, which tvpis should be charged an ena premium, and which should be da-lined. It wa announced, however, at Thursday's convention that the result of this private mortality inquiry were also available for public Use in lengthening life. Forty-three leading life insurance companies in the I'nited States and Canada contributed their records on the 2,000,000 lives in question, which represented their collective experience on many different classes of insured likely to have higher death rates than normal. The chief groups investi gated included persons engaged in ninety-seven hazardous occupation, those having a family history consumption, a defect in their pcr-oal history, those whose physical condition was not normal, and those whose habits with re gard to alcoholic beverages were not satisfactory in the pxst or who used liquor steadily at the time of application for insurance. ''Among the men w ho admitted that they had taken alcohol occasionally to excess in the past," said Mr. Hunter, "but whose habits were considered satisfactory when they were insured, there were 2S9 deaths while there would have been only 190 bad this group been made up of insured lives in gen eral. The extra mortality was, therefore, over 50 per cent, which was equiv . alent to a reduction in the average life of thes men of over your years. If this means that four years would be cut off the end of the average normal life time of each man, there are many who would consider that 'The game was worth the candle.' But it means that in each year a number of men will die at an earlier age than they should. For example, at age 35, the expecta tion of life is 32 years; in the first year after that age, instead of say, nine persons dying, there would be probably 12 deaths; that is, three men would each lost 32 years of life; in the next year probably four men would each lose 31 years of life, etc. As a matter of fact, many immoderate drinker would live longer than 32 years, but not nearly so many would live if they had been moderate drinkers, and far fewer than if they had been total ab stainers from alcohol."

GRESHAH CHURCH IS I HOW THAT CONGRESS IS BACK AT WORK, the constituent perhaps asking as to what his representative is doing. He may con ceive of him as studiously listening to the debate about the armament at Fort Monroe, or the appropriation for improvement of the Sabine river. Much more likely he is running up to the postoffice department hoping for 10 minutes with the third assistant secretary to discuss the need of a new jural route in his district.. Considering the way in which the average congressman is swallowed up in the life of the capital, it is not strange that the majority of them lose enthusiasm for their job. Formerly most congressmen maintained homes at Washington, where they had some social life Living in Washington is more expensive today. Many of them board at hotels.

As I have been residing in Londun since the beginning of the war, I have been hearing this question asked on all sides. I have never heard any satisfactory answer. No one seems to know. Why are the American factories not running night and day? Why arr the railroads not opening up new territories and getting ready for the millions f.f immigrants who have already made up their minds to leave Furope as soon as the war is over? Why arc there not fifty American drummers in London right now, trying to sell $200,000,000 worth of American goods in place of the goods that were bought last vear from Germany and Austria? Why have advertisers become quitters, just at the time when their ad vertisements were most needed and most effective in cheering on the business forces of the United States? From the European point of view, the Un'ted States is a haven of peace and security and prosperity. It has no troubles that it dare mention to Hoi - gium or Austria or France or Germany or Servia or Great Britain or Russia. Every tenth Britton has enlisted. Every tenth Frenchman is at the front. Every tenth Belgian is dead. "What does the United States know of trouble? If I could afford it, I would charter the Mauritania and Lusitania, and convey a party of 5,000 American Advertisers to Europe for a trip of education. I would give them a week in London, a week in Paris, and a week in Antwerp. I would let them look at the United States from the scene of war. I would give them a look at real troum.e. 1 would let them see trains, ten at a time, five minutes a part, packed with the maimed and the dying. I would let them hear, from fragmentary survivors, the incredible story of battlefields 150 miles wide, and armies that arc greater than the entire population of Texas. I would let them see graves 100 yards long and full, and Belgium, the country that was, nothing now but 12,000 square miles of wreckage. Then, when they began to understand, to some slight extent, the magni tude and awfullncss of this war, I would say to them : "Now gtT back and appreciate the United States. Realize your oppor tunities. Don't start digging trenches when nobody is firing at you'. Don't fall down when you have not been hit. Don't be blind to the most glorious chance you have ever had in your life. "Go back and advertise. Get ready for the most tremendous business boom that any nation ever had. Build your factories bigger. Train more salesmen. Borrow more money. Go ahead, and thank God that you arc alive and that your family is alive, and that you arc living in a land that is at peace, at a time when nearly the whole world is at war."
