Life Span To Be Longer If We Stop Accidents
WASHINGTON—(U.P.)—People who die these days do so prematurely.
The time is coming when human beings will live much longer on the average than they do now—if they manage to avoid death by accident, natural violence, or war.
This is the view of a number of scientists who at recent medical meetings expressed themselves on the subject of life expectancy.
The average American can now expect to live to around 69. American life expectancy is 20 years greater than it was in 1900.
It could be extended another 10 years just by applying "all the medical knowledge we now have," according to Frederick C. Swartz Lansing. Mich.
May Live To 100
At another meeting, in Troy, N.Y.
Dr. Maurice L. Tainer, Rensselaer,
N.Y., said that a life expectancy of
100 years will become a possibility
by the end of this century.
In Kansas City, Mo. Dr. Robert A. Davison, Memphis, Tenn., predicted a time when everybody will expect to live to 115 or 120. He proclaimed a potential life expectancy of 140.
By and large such forecasts assume continued advances in treatment of disease, more healthful eating practices, and better care generally of the body and mind.
Cause Of Mental Disorders
Some researchers hold aging itself is a disease for which a cure may be found.
Dr. James W. Papez, Columbus, Ohio, believes that parasitical fungus organisms in the brain, nerves, glands, and blood may be the cause of mental disorders and some kinds of hardening of the arteries in the elderly.
The consensus at a recent meeting of the Geronotological Society was that extending the life span is not necessarily the most important goal of science.
Equally if not more important is making the later years of life as comfortable, happy, and useful as possible.
Debaters Enter Tourney
Four University teams will enter the novice debate tournament at Kansas State College in Manhattan tomorrow.
They will use the national college debate topic, "Resolved, that the non-agricultural industries should guarantee their employees an annual wage."
They are Ronald Sinn of Fort Scott and Allen Hickey of Liberal, freshmen; Ralph Segar of Topeka and John Knightley of Hutchinson, sophomores; William Hagman Jr., Pittsburg junior, and Michael T. Mills, McPherson sophomore; William Summers, Wichita freshman, and Jayne Callahan, Cleveland, Ohio, jumor.
Fifty teams from Kansas and neighboring states will debate.
Kim Giffin, associate professor of speech, and Richard Wilkie, instructor of speech, will go with the team.
Coffee Circuit
CLIFTON, N. J. —(U.P.)—Two patrolmen had no trouble finding the culprit when a burglar alarm was set off at the General Eeltric Co. plant here. A pot of coffee left cooking on a gas range in the company cafeteria had boiled over, short-circuiting the alarm wires.
Export sales of agricultural and vegetable seeds will be expedited by an agriculture department seed tasting service.

Biologists Want Quail Wingtips
Biologists at the University are asking Kansas sportsmen for quail wings to aid in predicting quail supply.
Each year since 1951 Kansas quail hunters have been sending wing-tips of quail shot in the legal open hunting season to the State Biological Survey at KU. Almost 13,000 wing-tips have been sent.
Page's Sinclair Serv. 6th & Vt. Ph. VI 3-9894
"If Kansas sportsmen continue their excellent cooperation in this program," said Thane Robinson, assistant instructor of zoology, "we will be able to predict the expected hatch of bobwhites by analyzing weather conditions that precede the hunting season.
By examination of wingtips, biologists calculate the ratio of old to young birds in the fall. Comparing these ratios with weather data during the quail's breeding season, they learn the effects of weather on quail productivity.
"It is only with large numbers of wingts from all parts of Kansas, over a period of several years, that such predictions can be made."
1. Remove one wingtip from each bobwhite that you shoot. This can be done easily with a sharp knife or scissors.
2. Place the wingtips in a paper bag or other suitable container, such as an empty shotgun shell box. Do not wrap wingtips in air-tight materials like plastic or cellophane.
Every hunter is asked to follow these directions:
3. Indicate the Kansas county where the quail was shot. If you don't know the name of the county name of the nearest town will do.
4. Mail the package to State Biological Survey, Dyche Hall, University of Kansas, Lawrence.
5. Put your name and return address on the package. Copies of the Survey report will be sent to co-operating sportsmen.
PALO ALTO, Calif.—(U.P.)-The Stanford Research Institute predicts the U.S. population will jump 35 per cent between 1954 and 1975, with a total of 221,740,000 persons compared to today's 165,000,000 plus population.
Three out of every four livestock shipments to market are shipped by truck. Of all farm products, 89 per cent reach market by truck.
