Results of Study. We would expect these findings to emerge from any statistical study of mortality according to conjugal condition, for married persona constltule a selected group. The lame, the halt, anil the blind' do not marry, as a rule. Nevertheless, the differences between the respective death rates of wedded and tingle persons are so large that this factor of selection can be only a par tlal explanation of them. It would seem that the relatively laid and regular course of married life la more conducive to health than are the comparatively free and easy ways of the unmarried. Bachelors' Death Rata. Among males over fifteen years of age, the standardized death rate for bachelors la 1,2182 per 100,000 aa. compared with 855.9 for married men. "Among females the standardized death rate of spinsters Is . 1,039.1, as against 850.0 for the married of all e. d, wide-nose- d. long-heade- gray-eye- d Keltic.

Drivers SEATTLE. A simple and infallible help for the color-blin- d automobile driver who gets into difficulties because he cannot distinguish between green and red tralNc lights la suggested by Thomas Rosa of tlie University of Washington here. In a report to the current Issue of Science. Mr. ltoss describes a contrivance that can be fitted to the windshield of the color-blindriver's car. The device consists of small pieces of special glass which can filter out either red or green light. With the red filter placed above the green one. the driver will know that when he sees a light through the top piece of glass lie Is seeing a red light. When he sees the light through the bottom piece In this arrangement It la a green light The device la Improved by placing a prism over each filter In auch a way that the trafilc signal will be visible through both filters at the same d time. Device Is Practical. This Idea has worked In actual trials, Mr. Ross reports. It could he adapted to persons suffering from other types besides the of red-gree- n kind. A variation of the red and green filters la also suggested. One of the color filters, says Mr. Ross, might be lierforated and parts of the other set In It like polka dots. "Thus, If the red filter were perfor-ateand the openings were filled with the green material, a red traffic light or other red object viewed through the resulting filter would appear bright with dark spot. A green object, on the other hand, would appear dark with bright spots." d Hairpin Coes Traveling; Reaches Woman's Appendix gen-Pra- ia Col-Ion- s 1." That one stands for Frederick Wheeler, cornet In the headquarters troop of the Fifty-seconCuvalry brigade, Pennsylvania National Guard, otherwise First troop, Philadelphia City cavalry. The Philadelphia City cavalry was organized buck In 1774 and naturally modeled Its organization after British army cuatoin. At that time the British army haJ the rank of cornet, which was equivalent to third lieutenant. When congress passed the National Defense act In 1792, establishing a militia In the different states, it allowed the various military organization! In existence at that time to keep their accustomed privileges. So the First troop retained the rank of coruet while the British did away with It many years ago. Thus It la the only military organization in the world which has a cornet. The troop la also unique in this respect : It has a guidon, presented to It at the outbreak of the Itevolutlon ln '1775, with a union of 13 alternate blue and white strlpee In the d upper corner, corresponding to the blue Held In the present American flag. This la believed to be the first flag on which the 13 colonies were represented by 13 stripes. On the guidon also appears silver bands denoting the troop's service in war as follows: Revolution Trenton, Princeton, Brandywine, Germantown; Civil war: Gettysburg; Spanish-America- n Porto Rico; World war ChamLorraine, pagne, d lefl-bun- - Olse-Alun- Meuse-Argonn- e, Ypres-Ly- a.
