LFE EXPECTATION TEN EARS LONEER Public Health Service Tells of Disease-Control Triumphs} of Last Two Decades. By the Associated Press. To every child born in 1930 medical | science, in the old fairy tale role of God father, says: “You may logically expect to have 10 years more of living than the 1910 baby.” Expectation of life at birth has been increased from 48 to 58 years in the | last two decades. Older age groups also have an extended life span. Such is today's news from the United States Public Health Service. To the long campaign against infant mortality, and to increased public health activities throughout the Jand, the Public Health Service attributed | the cheering results of the latest life | table figures.

Children bitten by mad dogs can be saved by the Pasteur treatment. | Yellow fever and bubonic plague may be readily controlled in progressive com- | munities by measures against the mos- | quito and rat, respectively. “But s great wastage of health and | life still continues, due to the failure to | apply existing knowledge,” said Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, chief of the Public Health Service. | He said a better observance of health | and hygiene rules would bring the ll(ei span much closer to the Biblical “three score and ten.” UNLICENSED INSURANCE PROFFER JAILS TWO MEN By the Associated Press.
