Further- more, he expects this additional span of life to come within the lives of persons now living. “The average length of mankind’s | stay on earth, right now, is but 55) yeurs, says Dr. Emerson. “But by the time the baby’ born in 1922. has reached the age of 50, there remains | span of life will have been widened | to more than 75 years, “In the last 20 years the average | human life has been lengthened about eight years.

This was evidenced by the an- nouncement that Marquis Curzon, and the Earl of Derby, both men of influence and experienced cabinet ministers have agreed to serve un- der him in any capacity. Mr, Bonar Law cannot officially an- nounce the formation of his minis- try until he is elected head of the Unionist party to sugceed Austen Chamberlain, but it is generally con- ceded that this election will be only a formality. Split in Ranks. Although the split in the Unionist ranks has deprived him of such cab- inet material as Mr. Chamberlain, Lord Birkenhead, the Earl of Balfour, and some lesser lights, political ex- perts believe Mr, Bonar Law will find plenty of: timber among the younger members’ of the party who have shown promise in the political fields and are marked for advancement at a favorable moment.

Because of the cay situation, as well as the general demand for coal, North Dakota will not get nearly as much outside coal as usual, he said. The lignite mines, on which North Dakota must place reliance, also are hampered now in operations by lack of sufficient cars.

J., Oct. 20-- Authorities investigating the Hall- Mills murder mystery today were \ checking up details of new informa- tion which they said dovetails with facts previously obtained and points to a definite solution of the case which has baffled officidls and de- tectives of Middlesex and Somerset counties for more than a month. They were said to be weighing carefully a story to the effect that Mrs. Frances N. Hall, widow of the Rev, Edward W.

The political cauldron in England is seething as the country has not been in long years, and one to- day was hardy enough to predict what brew would emerge from the strange mixture that is cooking. Whatever fate might have in storo, it was certain Mr. Lloyd George was entering a stage of his career whicn would call for all his skill and craft. It'was equally certain that he would !prove to be a difficult opponent in the coming battles, as there are ad- mittedly few men in the country who possess such mastery of the art of polities. The Unionists, the Liberals and the Laborites alike were conferring and working intensely in an attempt to solve the problem confronting them, Former Premier Asquith who was in the country when he heard of the collapse of the Lloyd George government, rushed back to town this morning to confer with his col- leagues as to what line the Liberals should adopt, and other conferences were proceeding among the various party léaders. Economy Keynote, It is declared in high political cir- cles that the government which Mr. Bonar Law has in view will be pre- pared to continue in all essential re- spectg the work of the late ministry. The keynotes of his program it is in- dicated, will be the strictest economy in international administration and a better understand:ng with the al- lies in international affairs. The Conservative party organizers were busy today arranging the meet- ing at which a leader will be elected to succeed Austen Chamberlain. It is understood that the Carlton club, which yesterday saw the deposition of the old leader, will be the scene of the choice of his successor. The election of Andrew Bonar Law is a foregone conclusion, and as soon as the party’s vote has been regis- tered he will be in a position to be- gin formation of a cabinet to suc- ceed the resigned Lloyd George min- istry. It iis believed tn Conservative quarters that the cabinet will be completed before the end of next week.
