EDITORIAL PAGE
Old Father 1912 Is gone, and
there are a lot of people today who
feel that he can stay gone bo far
aa they are concerned. Some of us
have a dim remembrance of his go
ing, and yet others think they saw
three or four of them going at one
and the same time; the latter phen
omenon was an ocular Illusion.
While It seemed real to us, we
hav? consulted several other ex
perts on illusions, and find that a
majority of them saw him pass In
the singular, though there are
many who saw from three to a pro
cession, all of them having hour
and other kinds of glasses
We should like to write more on
this subject, for it has been an an
nual study of ours for lo, these
many years, but owing to a slight
sbakiness of the hand and a stut
tering of the typewriter, we will
leave the obituary of Father 1912
to abler ind Ion headachy literati.
San Francisco, Jan. 2 ? Yesterday
the grounds were broken for Mach
lnery hall of the PanamaP-aclflc ex
position. There was a tremendous
and enthusiastic crowd present when
Mayor Jamee Ralph turned the
first sod with his silver spade.
The specifications for this mag
nlflcant structure comprise 100 pages
and there are 24 blue prints, meas
uring four to six feet long.
The interior arrangement consists
of three greut naves sexenty-flve ft.
In width and over nine hundred feet
in length, rising to a height of over
100 ft. above the floor, producing a
very dignified effect. It is expected
that this structure will be completed
at least a year and a half before the
opening of the exposition, which
will allow more than ample time
for the installation of exhibits.
The floor area of the building Is
over eight acres, nearly six times
as large as the old Mechanics Pavil
lion of San Francisco. For pur
poses of comparison It may be stat
ed that the length of the building
will be equal to the distance be
tween the Call building and the Me
tropolis Bank building on Market
' street ? this space Includes both
streets as well as the Hearst Build
ing, the Monadock Building and
I the Palace Hotel Building.

Great Loss of Life
Which Could Be
Prevented
By Professor IRVING FISHER of Yale University
UT OF SOME 1.500.000 DEATHS ANNUALLY IN THE UNITED
STATES AT LEAST &30.000 ARE PREVENTABLE.
This moans over SEVENTEEN IHTNDRED UN
NECESSARY DEATHS PER DAY, or more than the
lives lost in the gre&t Titanic disaster, which spread a pall of gloom
over the world. The daily avcrago death rate rarely gets a passing
comment
As a tirst stop in the great works of human conservation we should
wtablish AN ADEQUATE SYSTEM OF COLLECTING AND
DISTRIBUTING VITAL STATISTICS similar to the system in
use in Sweden.
Probably the greatest hygienic achievement of any country thua
far is that of Sweden, where the duration of life is the longest, the
mortality the least and the improvements the most general. There
?lone can it be said that the chances of life have been improved for
all ages of life.
Infancy, middle age anu old age today show a lower mortality in
Sweden than in times past, while in .other countries, including the
United States, although we can boast of some reduction in infant
mortality, the MORTALITY AFTER MIDDLE AGE IS
GROWING WORSE, and the innate vitality of the people is in all
probability deteriorating.
There are throe great agencies to which we must look for the
aaving of human life in the future. They are the PUBLIC PRESS,
THE INSURANCE COMPANIES AND THE GOVERNMENT.
A Man's Career Is Not
the Whole of Life
By President JOHN GRIER HIBBEN of Princeton University
H MAN'S caieer is NOT THE WHOLE OF LIFE. If this
poor fraction i9 regarded as possessing an integral value
there is a pitiful poverty even in the midst of abundant pos
sessions. The fullness of any single life is dependent upon
the LARGER LIFE ABOUT IT, which is capable of touching, ab
sorbing and transmitting into its own vital power and energy.
THE PROGRESS OF THE WORLD IS DUE NOT SO MUCH TO
THE GREAT CAREERS OF GREAT MEN, BUT IN A VERY LARGE
MEASURE TO THE EXCESS OF TIME AND THOUGHT AND ENERGY
WHICH BUSY MEN HAVE NOBLY GIVEN TO THE WORLD'S NEED
AND THE WORLD'S DISTRESS.
The untired efforts of tired men, the generous giving of the time
on the part of those who have no time to spare, the devotion of the
hours of rest to additional service, the UNREQUITED LABOR,
THE INVESTMENT WHICH PAYS NO DIVIDEND ? thee*
are the factors which enter constructively into the world's progreaa
?nd *re tl* HOPE OF ITS SALVATION.
