Mr. Waldron is a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Archer of Caroline street. Beginning by reviewing the world situation, President Roose-; velt pointed to the spirit of peace now existing in the twenty-one American recublics, and_ their neighbor, the Dominion of Can- #da,.and contrasted conditions on the Western Hemisphere with those in Europe and Asia where nations are dominated “by the twin spirits of autocracy and ag- gression” and have reverted “to the old belief in the law of the sword” or “to the fanatic concep- tion that they, and they alone, are chosen to fulfill a mission.” The New Deal has spent or dent Wm.

The average ‘age at death of these later justices was almost four and one-half years greater than that of the earlier group, 73.7 years as against 69.3”. Comparing these figures with similar data pertaining to the pre- sigents of the United States, the situation observed in connection reserved in so far as_ presidents are concerned. It is now custo- mary to appoint older men to the Supreme Court than in former years but, the statisticians point out, younger men are being elect- ed to the Presidency. In the pre- Civil War period, the average age of presidents at inauguration was slightly over 57 years, but since, that period it has averaged only slightly more than 51 years. In spite of this, the average after- life-time of our presidents has been reduced from 16.7 years dur- ing the first half of American history to exactly 11 years in the latter half. The average age at death of the chief executives in the earlier period was 73.8 as against The average after-life-time of the Supreme Court justices has been reduced only two and _ one-half y to 17.8 years as compared with the justices has been directly; 62.3 years in the latter.} AAA enjoys popularity.
