RISKS THAN MEN
San Francisco, April 2/—Accord- |
ing to the records of tha life insur
ance companies of th > country, i
slender women are better risks than
stout women and single women live
longer than their married sisters.
"A woman who is 30 pounds under
weight," said George H. Ueaudry of
a coast lite insurance company,
"is 18 per cent better risk than a
woman who is 30 pounds over
weight. Mortality among «umeu who
are 30 pounds under weight is
only 94 per cent whereas among
women overweight the mortality is
112 per cent.
"The spinster's chances for long::
life are 5o per cent butler than
those of her married 3isttrs. Out
of 149,000 single wome>i insuring
mortality rate was only SI per cent,
while among the women Insuring
with their husbands as beneficiaries
the percentage was 126 per cent.
The married woman has not an even
chance with the married man, at
least in the first few years of
married life. The percentage among
the men increase with age. For the
first two years of insurance women
have a high mortality rat;?, whethe.'
they be married or single, and this
fact the companies attribute to a.
pr.eniouition which women are de
clared to possess. The insurance
people call this instinct and tliey
say wouieu feel possibilities of death
so Keenly that often the companies
lose during the first two years of
policy holding.
the companies grant to suicide,
and the figures relating Jo women's
suicide throw an interesting light
on the facts. Death from self-in
flicted causes among spinsters to
tal only six-tenths of o.ie per cent,
while among married women the
percentage is less than one-tenth
higher. The companies make a dis
tinction, however, amo;ij the mar
ried women. Between l.h s "happily
married* class, or women whose in
iii ice is drawn in favci* of their
!;u-ilia:.ils, -".id the siagle women
tin re is almost no difference.
The v,emen whose beneficiaries
Hands show one and one-tenth per
cent, whil • . mug the widows and
divorced women the percentage
from stii i'!c climbs to 1.7."

DEBATE OUGHT
TO BE PUBLIC
(Continued from Pago 1.)
Ktuuii'ii iinnscli the ser:i!e "treasury
watchdog" iiiul bits frequently called
attention to the-expenditures. lie has
embarrassed u uuinber of his col
leagues. as the senate has never beeu
inclined to reduce expenditures. In
fact. It is a regular thing to have every
appropriation bill increased in the sen
ate. So far Senator Thomas has not
made much headway with his protests.
Patronage Trouble.
The c lose vote for senator In-tbe pri
maries in Arkansas is attributed to the
dissatisfaction over the distribution of
patronage in that state Senator
Clarke is not responsible for all the
patronage but nearly all the disap
pointed office seekers were against him
Congressman Floyd of that state says
that patronage has been a great detri
ment to men who are holding office.
1 He attributed it to the fact that the
Democrats have been out of office for
sixteen years and that In that time
many men have given their support to
the party aticl worked hard and feel
that they are entitled to rewards. As
a consequence, there are fifteen or
twenty candidates for every otiice. and
•when an iippointineut is made the dis
appointed men are almost sure to be
antagonistic to the man who is re
sponsible for the appointment.
A Swift Canalboat.
Discussing the benefits of waterway
improvements one day. Congressman
Madden of Chicago declared that an
ordinary cnnallwat can make fifty
miles a day. and. in reply to a question
which Murdoch of Kansas asked in
great astonishment as to whether n
canalboat would make more mileage
per day than a freight car. Madden re
plied that "a canalboat will run a giv
en distance from point to point five
times as quick'-,, on an average,
ns will a freighr train." it was ex
plained that tills was because the ca
! naUhiat had n" interruptions.
May bp that i'»ke about the tortoise
beating the hire is no} such a fable,
after all.
