Gibson of Cook county, plans to introduce in the ( legislature. The object of the bill is to stop the spread of idiocy and feeble mindedness. Representative Gibson and Dr. Frances Blanchard. Wheaton. 1 111., who prepared the measure, declared. "It would make it possible to sterilize and send back to their homes many of the mentally undeveloped who now are dangerous and must be’ kept in institutions, but who. if sterilized would be hard working, useful ' individuals in their own homes," Dr. Blanchard said. Twelve states now have sterilization laws. California is the only state to apply this power "fearlessly"i Representative Gibson said. The state has sterilized approximately four thousand inmates of institutions. it is estimated. In Kansas 200 inmates have been sterilized. Other states with sterilization acts are lowa. Nebraska, the Dakotas, Oregon. Washington, New Jersey,' Connecticut. Wisconsin ami New Jersey. o Factories Now Paying Employes With Checks Columbus, Ind., March 11 (United.

Life expectam-y is steadily >, increasing, he said. tj Dr. Fitzpatrick gave the followin'.' • table on life expectancy; ■| The average span of life in 1775 I was 27 years; in 1575 it was .37 years; .in 11*55. 57 years, 1975, SO years; 1 ; 2,000, 100 years. H The big increase in life expentancy “l during the past fifty years can be I traced to the "germ theory” of dls--1 ease. Dr. Fitzpatrick said. The germ theory has made it possible to trace and isolate disease germs and find ’ cures for ailments, thought incurable, he said. better control of diet, less crowdling and other elements must enter I before the 100 year stage is reached. '(Dr. Fitzpatrick dedared. Ways and| .means must be fonml to keep the air a pure; balanced diets; less crowding ami periodical examinations by physicians are essential, ho holds. "There must be no over-eating," Dr. i i Fitzpatrick said. “They will have to have plenty of fresh food in whichthe fresh yitamines have not been killed b| poor methods of preservation.” | . Find Tomb Os Monarch Much Older Than King Tut London. March 11. — King Tut ami al! his glory probably will have to take a somewhat less exalted seat ( at the table of noble antiques should, new discoveries by Egyptologists prove as valuable as expected. 'rite resting place of another mon-' arch named Shefru, older by far than King Tut, is believed to have been found by archeologists with the Harvard University expedition to the Giza Pyramids in Egypt. Snefru is' of the fourth Egyptian dynasty. He lived between 5,000 and 6.000 years ago. and his reign preceded those of Tut-Ankh-Amen and Cheops. Discovery of the tomb followed the sinking of a 150-foot. shaft, under the leadership of Allen Rowe of the ex- ! pedition. I The tomb is most fragile and extreme caution must he exercised in * handling. The task of opening it and preserving its contents will be a long and difficult undertaking. The tomb is near the great pyramid of Cheops. Th" 'discovery is considered to be as important from an archeological i point of view than the one made by 1 Howard Carter and the late Earl of Carnarvon when they found the tpmb ' «

This time Butler township, Mercer county, seems to have been selected for the rainbow manifestation that once upon a time “Put" Sandies noted was peculiar to Ohio. This time the pot of gold manifestation is in the form of a big gas strikes in Butler township The Coldwater gas field is attracting the attention of local and outside drillers because of the good wells that continue to come in. thereby indicating that the supply of natural gas in Mercer county is by no means exhausted as had long been supposed prior to the discovery of these latter years that gas still exists in paying quantities in this fortunate and favored county. Not only are nearby towns being supplied with the precious fuel from the Coldwater field, but the farmers along the line now have the luxury of gas in their homes. If a well is drilled in upon their farm they have the benefit of free and unlimited gas. Think of what a boon gas for cooking purposes means to the farmers’ wives. No more drudgery over great coal.and wood fires in summer when gas ranges and hot plates mean the , acme of household comfort and lux- ' ury. The big strikes in the Coldwater ! field recall the natural gas period when Mercer county first brought to the surface what was then thought to I be an inexhaustible natural gas supply. What wastrels we were of the precious stuff How we burned great flambeaux, carelessly consuming thousands of feet of the fuel. Then, too, we burned it night and day because it only cost 50 cents a month and to let the fire burn was cheaper than to i urn it off and buy a box of matches wherewith to light the fire.
