WASHINGTON. April 30.
Papers relating chiefly to the

by Dr. Raymond Pearl of

senttng "expectation of life"
on tables of users of alcohol
calculated in the same manner
as life insurance mortality ta-
tle. were read today at tbe
concluding sessions of the an-
nunl meeting of tbe national
academy of sciences.
"Steady drinkers." Dr. Pearl
said, "havf a better expecta-
lion of life at all ages from
thirty on than do total ub-
stalners." ,
His tables, he explained,
were based on data including
"exact records as to the drink-
lng habits of thousands of
persons throughout their
lives," and covering more than
150,000 person-years "ex-
posure to risk." .
The difference in the life
expectations of steady drink-
. ers and total abstainers he
said, "are not very great, but
there Is a distinct and well
marked advantage in favor of
the moderate steady 'drinkers.
"Heavy drinkers," he contin-
ued, "have the poorest ex pec-
tatlon of life at all ages after
30 in the case of females and
at all ages after 30 and up to
about 65 in the cases of males.

carried on with more vim and vigor

give the commission the credit which

yourself and your home town.
"In behalf of the city, I want to say
to you who have this work In hand
that our city does appreciate what you

Whereas, the defense of our coua

Whereas, the present plan of na

Whereas, it la a well known and in

manhood and citizenship, and
Whereas, the future safety and
well-being of the people of the United

COLUMBUS, O., April 30. Roth
President Coolidge and former Gov
ernor James M. Cox, of Ohio, demo
cratic candidate for president In
1920, won sweeping victories In
Ohio's primary elections yesterday.
The vote, however, probably was the
lightest aver cast in an Ohio primary
election, it was officially estimated
at about 18 per cent of the potential
vote.
President Coolidge not only won
the state's 61 delegates to the na
tional convention but alao was given
better than a six to one endorsement
over United States Senator Hiram
Johnson of California In the presi
dential preference contest. '
Mr. Cox probably will go before
the democratic national convention
with his homes state'a 48 votes
pledged to support him and backed .
by a two and a halt to one endorse
ment of his party over William O.
McAdoo. Hie probable 48 votes will
be represented by 62 delegates, the
eight delegates at large each bavins
a half vote.
Former Attorney-General Harry
M. Daugherty, defeated four years '
ago for delegate at large by almoat
1,000 votes, yesterday was elected
a member of the Coolidge slate of
delegates at large but probably was
low member of tbe slate. He, how
ever, won over tbe highest Johnson
dolegate by about 4 to 1.
Women delegates trailed the Hats
In every instance, except on the
Coolidge slate, where they probably
have beaten out former Attorney

ed district delegate in the 19Ui dis
trict and probably will be a candi

taking an active part In Mr. Cox's

On tbe delegation with Mr. Moore
will be the former governora of the
state Judson Harmon of Cincinnati
and James E. Campbell of Colum

Mr. Harmon was leading the list
of Cox delegates at large by a slight
margin over former United States
Senator Atlee Pomerene when al

Tbe vote In 1684 precincts tn the
