Wait for Jury Trial Figured About a Year Stanford, Calif. (U.R The editors of the Stanford Law Re view have found that the na tional average waiting time for jury trial after a civil case has been placed on the docket is just under a year. In some places it's worse; some places, better. A plaintiff suing in the superior court of Wor cester county, Mass., must wait almost four years, and a delay of two years is not uncommon in other parts of the country. "The passage of time causes memories to dim and witnesses to die or disappear." said the Review in a current issue. "And a plaintiff with a just claim may be deterred from prosecuting it or be compelled to make an jn equitable settlement by finan cial inability to wait for trial." The Review, which examined the situation, held that compul sory arbitration of small claims, now receiving an extensive test in Pennsylvania, offered all states "an encouraging prospect for the speedier administration of justice."

A University of California physiol ogist analyzed disease and mor tality tables in Europe and Amer ica and reported that Americans are living longer and in better health. Dr. Hardin Jones said that. furthermore, Americans in the middle years are physiologically four years younger than their predecessors living at the begin ning of the century. More individuals today live to reach adult life: they contract heart disease and cancer later in life, and now it appears that five to 20 years have been added to the productive early middle life, he said. He said increasing numbers of people die of arteriosclerosis and cancer. But the chances of these diseases striking a given individ ual in a given year of middle and old age are decidedly smaller than they were 50 years ago. Dr. Jones' studies led him to the conclusion that aging is the result of the impairment of the body's internal chemical proc esses by infectious disease and injury. The deer belongs to the group of animals called Pecora, which includes the true ruminants or cud chewers. with four-cham bered stomachs. Other members are the giraffe, antelope, ox, goat and sheep.
