said he was taking a course at a medical
college in Baltimore. The Carlisle

Chlrago," July 27. The county civil
service commission here raised the bar
against "has-beens." It seeks to pre
vent the aged and infirm from entering
the service. The commission fixed no
age upon which to reject applicants for
examinations, but passed a rule adopting
tne commercial test of the life Insur
ance companies.
The new regulation also provides that
any applicant for a promotional exam
ination shall have "an Insurable life ex
pectancy f at least five years." Rough
ly speaking, life expectancy of a per
son Is the average of the ages at which
the parents and both sets of grandparents
died. To Illustrate, a nan 43 years old
can not take a county examination If
his parents and grandparents died at the
following ages: mother, 22; father, 32;
one grandfather. S; the other, 68; one
grandmother, 60; the other, 4S. That ap
plicant's life expectancy Is four years
as an Insurable proposition.
The rule applies to those in the ser
vice as well as those outside. A bailiff
43 years old, with the life expectancy
named' above, would be prevented from
taking an examination for promotion to
deputy aherlff. . . ,.
The commission proposes to require
a physical examination or a certificate
from a reputable physician of every one
who takes a merit test. Other reasons
for rejecting applicants are specially set
torin in a rule adopted e" follows:
No In normal health and fair physi
cal condition.
Afflicted with a contagious or Infec
tious disease.
Addicted to exclusive use of Intoxi
cants -aafflAngs; -
Addicted to excessive use of tobacco
where its use is prohibited by .depart
mental order.
Has failed to pay a Judgment for
debts for which applicant Is llnhle.
Has been guilty of dishonest, dis
graceful or cruel acts.
Has made false statement In appli
cation or attempt-d to practice fraud
In examination.
Has attempted to disclose his Hntltv
in examination papers.
