T oday 1,400 Million More Years. I rouble Ahead. Henry Ford W ell Fixed. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ A scientist declares that preven tive medicine, within 50 years, will add 14 years to the average Amer ican life, raising that average from • >5 to 09. Do you realize how that would increase wealth and effi ciency? For a man taught and trained, the years from 55 to 69 should be life’s best years. Adding 14 years to the average ' life would add fourteen hundred tnilhon years of mature human ef fort to every generation. What would that be worth to the nation? What, would it be worth to a rail road if it could add 14 year- to thr working life of every locomotive? Trouble is coming. England has sent a battleship to prevent Russia seizing English boats outside the three-mile limit. Russia might send some TN'T carrying flyers to meet that battleship, and that would start something serious. If that should happen, Europe would like very much to have United States men and money on tap through a league of nations membership or through world court decisions as to our duties and responsibilities. The Wall Street Journal, analyzing Henry Ford's business, puts his not profit on each car at $55. On his present output , 6.000 cars per day, that would bo $00,000,000 profit in a year of 300 working days. Add $19,000,000 annual profit on parts, plus $15,000,000 profit from other sources, and you se" that Mr. Ford is unusually well fixed.

Uako £/pVafor Haas BroiWs xrJAe S/topforTUomen' Brown Block 18th and Douglas moral is: To beat your competi tors, give value. i i.es cost this country every year ’■',f'n.oO0,000, and 150,000 lives, i Eighty in 100 of the dollars and ’Ives are lost needlessly. The Nat ional Protection association, meet ing in Chicago, gives figures. The biggest trouble is in our syst m of fire insurance. Extortionate tes make the companies indifferent t fires. Insurance methods encou age carelessness among owners, add and promote arson among crim | Inals. But that is nobody's busi ! ness. Insurance should be govern ; ment business and there should be no insurance for firetraps in which families are housed. Refuse insur ance and owners v 1 lake precau ; tions. i , —— Man's best friend, the noble dog, makes a mistake sometimes. Harry Murch, 16, saw a faithful dog keep ing watch, apparently, near a dead dog’s body. Interested, the youth drew near and the live dog bit him in the leg, thinking he meant to steal the dead dog. The attitude of animals toward death in their own tribe differs greatly. A live horse has intense fear of a dead horse. A live chicken treats its dead comrade as though it were alive, clucks cheerfully, notices no change. Man’s attitude toward death in his tribe also varies. Some enjoy fu nerals, some fear them, all share, to some extent, the horse’s dread of a body with its life gone. An able doctor upsets many theories, including the idea that a marvelous memory is a sign of healthy intellect. On the contrary, ability to forget trivialities and de vote the mind to important things only is the sign of health, as life advances. Too much attention to detail, especially to petty econ omies not necessary, is also a had sign, so the medical authority of the London Times tells you. Recent cold weather is due to cold air accumulated in the Arctic regions, finally breaking through and flooding the United States, something like a flood, after an ire gorge, so the weather man tells you. It is not the sun getting out of order, for which you may he thankful. The slightest trouble with our sun and this earth would be frozen, the oceans solid ice. China rebuked, is told she has no right to call herself a republic if she cannot control her brigands. She bows politely, and asks why we, old republic that we are, do not control our lynching parties, then we bow politely and change the subject. (Copyright, 1523.) Farm Home H urns.
