ADDING TO LIFE SPAN USELESS, SAYSDR. MAYO ‘Why Preserve Body When Mind Is Stagnated?’ Surgeon Asks. P<j United Prett CHICAGO. Oct. 13—Dr. Charles H Mayo paused today on the pinnacle of a long and brilliant career In the service of medicine to pose the question—why should science add new years of life to a mans body when his mind has stagnated long before? Himself close to the biblical span of three score years and ten, the surgical wizard whose skill has saved thousands of lives and added untold years to their span asked whether science in its fight to repair broken bodies had not neglected the cultivation of the mind. • To me," said the surgeon, a kindly deliberate man who chooses his words with care, "it seems useless to prolong physical life if mental life does not keep apace Why should we make it possible for a man to live to be 90 if his brain dies at 70?" Twenty Years Added in Century Dr Mayo, here for the American College of Surgeons' congress, pointed out tnat science h^ 1 added more than twenty years to the average life in the last century. Perhaps another twenty years may be added in the next 100 years he said. "Beyond that it does no seem likely that we can go. But what value this effort, tms ex pense, this striving if the extra years are wasted? , . •'ln institutions and homes for the aged I have seen many old people. They are in their second ch and hood. They are vegetating like trees. The bodies are strong and healthy, but the mind no longer functions.” The question raised by the pnysician whose fame has become so great as to be almost a myth was answered by himself in a prescription which he wrote for the American people. “The mind must be treated with the same rules of care and exercise as the body,” said Dr. Mayo. “New interests, continued education and variety will keep the brain up to the pace set by the fine and durable bodies with which science now endows even the aged. Dr. Mayo's criticism was not limited to the care of the mind alone. “If the average person would pay as much attention to his body as he does to his automobile he would add ten years to his life." said the physician. “There are 2.000 preventable deaths a day in the United States, the most frequent caused by cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure and kidney diseases. “There is scarcely a human ailment that can not be checked and in all probability cured if detected at the start. It is beyond comprehension why so many people will give their motor cars the finest care yet neglect themselves.” OFFICERS ARE ELECTED BY CLASSES AT I. U.

SURVEY URGES URY ZONES IN WETDISTRICTS Help to ‘Meet Local Needs’ Advised by Rockefeller Aids. By United Prett NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—Establishment of dry zones within wet areas to “meet local needs and desires” was suggested today in the fifth installment of a liquor survey report sponsored by John D. Rockefeller Jr. Such zones should be established, the report advised, to placate those areas of a wet-voting city which had demanded aridity. A city of 20,000 inhabitants, let us say might vote to legalize liquor saies by only a small margin," the report, prepared by Raymond D. ; Fosdick and Albert L. Scott, said. "Is liquor selling to be forced upon those areas of a city opposed to it?" The same condition might pre-

vail in a county-wide local option vote where individual towns and cities would vote dry. Persons of wet tendencies residing in the dry zones should not be penalized, the report added, recommending that liquor be mailed or shipped by express to those who desire it. Such a provision would “suppress would-be bootleggers.” “If the authority (State liquor dispensing body) were denied the right to fill orders in this way, a person living in dry territory either would go to a place where liquor is sold and there purchase what he required, or he would have some other person make the journey for him.” the report said. The dangers of political influence and corruption are much less under a system of state control rather than private enterprise, because the profit motive is eliminated, the report declared.
