LIFE IS DOUBLED
; IN LAST 32 YEARS
ATHENS, C.a. (A3) Tn the 64'
years since ihe war between the,
Htates thn spun of life in Georgia j

Dr. H.M. Hurpcr, research pro-i
feasor of economies at the Uril-l
verslty of tieorg a. (
Dr. Harper' figures, based on j
an extensive study of tombstones ,
In cemeteries in the vicinity of-
Athens, show thnj bffore the war!
the average life was 31 years. It
now Is 60 years, his records say.!
Most rapid increase in life expec-'
tancy was registered in Athens.be-1
tween 1885 and 1895 perhaps due, !
says Dr.i Harper, to Installation of
a water works system at about
that time.
The professor places the future
expectation of life in this country
nt a maximum of 70, contradicting
other experts who place it up to
100 years.
. ."The present statistical trend
; Indicates that beyond that point
deaths would exceed births," he
explained. "And of people lived
beyond 70 on an average, the per
capita wealth would probably de
crease, for very few persons above
the age of 70 contribute materially
to the world's wealth." .
He credited the Increased life

V Just what is "dry" gas anyhow
Is- the subject for an interesting
scientific explanation from the
laboratories of the Shell Oil com-
pnny where Shell MOO" was de
veloped as follows:
"Crude oil contains a certain
amount of gasoline. To extract
his, we distill the oil. Part of
the gasoline in the oil is very
Volatile and is separated at a
comparatively low temperature;
As the temperature rises, still
more of the gasoline is obtained.
All of the gasoline that meets
Bpvernment specifications Is ex
1 tracted when the temperature
reaches 437 degrees Farenheit,
"However, that portion of the
gasoline which comes off when
the crude is heated from 400 to
437 degrees Is the least volatile
of the entire batch. It Is heavy
or wet as we say. It Is called
. the 'ends' of the gasoline. It might
v he compared, not scientifically but
verv descriptively, to the fusel oil
In poor whisky.
"'"For that reason. Shell '400' is
- tttwi 1 to on - 1-117 pt uninir nil tiihh
wet particles that do not distill
nt 400 degrees or less. It is a
true dry gas, containing none of
the heavy, wet ends which are
found in ordinary gasoline which
has been heated higher to extract
every last drop of gasoline that
Is fn the crude.
" "It follows, naturally, that Shell
400 vaporizes far more complete-1
ly and quickly than wet gasoline.
,that It vaporizes when the motor
. Is cold, as well as when It is
warm, and that It burns complete
ly without leaving wet droplets
to dilute your oil and waste your
'! fuel.
, i "You might ask logically why
lint stop the distilling process at
350 degrees or 300 degrees. You
.might think that the gasoline bo
produced would be just that much
letter. that much 'drier'. As a
'natter of fact, the gasoline ex
attracted at such low temperatures
' 'would lack power. Shell 400,
product of Shell's exclusive meth
ods, is the ideal medium between
the two extremes, a 'dry' gas with
great power."

then call a ground station and

Automubile accidents for the first

five per cent higher than for the:
fiint four months of lit us, nccoid
ing to reports complied by the Na-
I tonal Safety Council. These re
ts show that April was the;
third Miccesslve mouth in which j
dt 'tubs In motor vehicle accidents .
were higher than for the corres
ponding month of lust year.
Striking in the April experience j
Is the contrast between cities and
slates. Ninety-nine cities report- J
cd an increase of about li per cent
over .March, while 0 entire states I
experienced u 2 2 per cent increase.)
The stales only have had l;t per
cent more deaths so fin this year
! than In the same period of l!i2S ,
white the increase in cities has I
been only one per cent. i
These figures indicate that last i
year's movement toward larger I .
accident increases in rural areas ,
is continuing. T h e especially j
large contrast In April experience ,
is undoubtedly evidence ol rela-j
tively greater traffic In rural
areas in the last month or two
than during the winter.
Comparisons of the current
April with April 1!'2S show- sub
stantially the same results. Cities
only show practically no change;
the reporting states are IS per j
cent higher; all areas combined
have au 8.d per cent increase.
Home accidents caused nine
per cent fewer deaths lit April
(ban in .March according to re
ports from :i3 cities. Kill Is Were
the most i m p o r taut cause of
death. Asphyxiation and suffo
cation, second in Importance, j
caused almost one-fouulh oL all
home fatalities.
