“Span of Human Lite Has Been
Increased Twenty Years,”
Says Scientist.
Sir Ronald Ross. noted scientist l
who has just seen the opening of a
London research institute bearing his
name, sees no reason why the span
of life should not be enormously
extended. Already people are llv-.
ing longer.
"Eighty years ago." said Sir Ron-
ald Ross. "the average London man
lived 34 years, seven months. and
the average London woman lived 33
years four months.
"Today the average length of life
at the London man is 63 years, nine
months. and the average London
woman. 59 years. Those are the
figures I have gleaned from medical
statistics.
“in 80 years medical. research has
given us 20 more years to live.
"That miraculous progress will
not step. A great scientist at the
Pasteur Institute in Paris has'said
that in 100 years’ time man should
live to the age of 150. Why not?
- Span Increased 50 Per Cent.
"Already the length of our lives
has been increased by 50 per cent.
That is very largely due to medi-
cal science in the treatment and
prevention of disease. and if the
country will only realize the neces-
sity for spending more money on
medical research the Pasteur In-
stitute’s prediction may well come
true.
"A noted American doctor has
suggested to me we should all be
immortal. Who can tell what sci-
entific investigation may bring? No
one can say how long we may live
when we are-free trom the ravages
of germs
"We are still baffled by many dis-
cases. We have not discovered the
germs which cause ornallpox. measles
scarlet fever and a number of trop-
ical diseases. We have not solved
the cancer problem. Even the com-
mon cold is a mystery. Science. if
in is given a. chance. will conquer
those ills."
SEARCH BY SLATE ONLY.
(Hartford Times.)
The court held that the fourth
amendment to the federal constitu-
tion does not protect citizens against
unreasonable searches by the state
government through its own agen-
cies. but only against such unreason-
able search when it is by federal of-
ficials. When state officials perform
the same acts the federal constitu-
tion affords no relief. This is said
to be in accord with a settled princi.
ple of law that the first ten amend-
ments of the constitution are re-
strictiveonly’ of rational action. This
settled principle has been viewed
oomplaoentiy until the ,. coming of

"I know. “to want to be differ-

affairs will be dimerent. I think we
can get together a jolly little set."
“I think we ought to avoid ‘jolly

bored. It means a. round of dia-

people. and then another round or
