EWPECTATION 0F LIFE INGHANGED Yo Greater Toan It Ws in Bibe Times New York, Oct. 19.—In spite of modern acience, improved living conditions, rejuenation, and psycho- analysis, the span of man's life, once he reaches middle age, ia no longer than the allotted “three score and ten” of the days of King Solomon and David. Infant mortality has been low- ered, and the diseases of childhood effectively combatted, but little has been done to counteract that in- exorable process known as “natural aging." The average age at death is 57.7. Out of 1,000,000 people— 72,074 will live to be 50 639 will live to be 60 5 will live to he 70 15,331 will live to be 80 1,789 will live to be 90 33 will live to be 100 All wili be dead by the 107th year. Eminent physicians and scientists | of this country and Europe, at a | two-weeks' conference on old ntc‘ held at New York Medical academy, have gathered these figures. Wheth- ’ er or not the span of life could he lengthened, or should be, were mat- ters of divided opinion. | “A horse, maturing at five years, should live to be 25 years old,” Dr. Gerald B. Webb of Colorado Springs pointed out. and: therefore should live to be 90. Dr. Alfred Cohn of Rockefeller NEW BRI CON NECTICUT FURRIERS Eighteen years of progress, building a business to a remarkable growth by square dealing, fair prices, and real service. For 18 years we have sold furs of high quality, properly made so that their durability has been an unending source of bringing more and more business to our store.

The break- down of the arteries and heart, par- ticularly the former, was the major cause of the loss of vitality. *“For the aging body to be weak. and for the heart and indeed all the tissues to be desiccated 1s the natur- al process in aging organisms,” he said. “The aging process cannot be prevented by any means so far dis- covered. Ot greater usefulness is the effort of hygiene and other means to provide an environment in which the aging process may be accomplishe to its best and most undisturbed a vantage.” Pointing out that years alone d not make people old, Dr. Louis I Dublin, life insurance statistician, spoke of the necessity of differenti- ating between chronological old age | and physiological old age. There a method by which this may be done, and the actual tissue age of a | man be determined—which might or might not agree with his birthday. Dr. Dublin, who voiced the belief that the span of life could be ex-| tended, pointed out that the exten- sion must be affected through fight- |ing the ~ degenerative discases of | chilhood and middle age, which | bring on aging of the tissues, these being diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, typhoid fever and pneu- monia. He also stated that health was not {only an individual, but a community | problem. Cities, he said, must cam- paign for better health as they do for | better business. On the other hand, Dr. Linsly | Williams, president of the New York Tuberculosis and Health assoclation, sald: “Blologists and statisticians have proved to their satisfaction that pub- a small part in reducing mortality. TAIN'S LEADING NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIPAY, OCTOBER 19, 1928, A larger proportion of older people is found, however, among the well- {to-do than the poor, and there is & deflnlh relationship between the number of persons in one room and the death rate.” | “The most general causes of ex- |tended life are undoubtedly hered. itary,” said Dr. 8amuel Brown, pro- tessor of pharmacology at New York university. “Food undoubtedly is a | and physical well being may be gain. heed of their eating habits. The diet | of old age should be mixed, simple, !small in quantity, and emphasis ould be laid on fruits and vege- bles, and care taken to prevent accumulation of retention of pro- tein,"” “The brain itself does not grow old," said Dr. Frederick Tilney, pro- ssor of neurology at Columbia, ut it may become impaired by disease and abuse. | “The latter years no longer should be regarded as a time or retirement |and of patient waiting. To grow old gracefully should be to accept old age as the time for which all the arduous years of life have been lived. No man should retire because his years are manv. By proper living and prophylaxis, i man may keep posses. sion of a fine, firm brain, though he | be nearing the century mark.” {Patents Issued to Connecticut People (List compiled weekly from the Official Gazette by the office of Harold G.

PEACE DIDN'T TAKE Estranged El Paso, Tex, Oct. 19 (UP)— Gregoria Silva and his wife, Maria, principals in a divorce suit, here, twice were reconciled within fifteen minutes, only to part a few minutes later, convinced that they could not get along together. 8ilva had brought suit for divorce against his wife. During the pro- ceedings, the judge reconciled the pair and the couple left smiling and happy. They had hardly got out the door when the skies darkened and they appeared again, more determined than ever to separate. But again the “velvet tongued” judge pacified them and they left the second time, contented. Again they returned, arguing, and the judge decided to continue the testimony in the suit.
