It’s inevitable another we feel being wasted and that it isn’t much use to try any longer. Did you know that when Abraham Lincoln was 44, he wrote a letter to a friend declaring that his career seemed doomed to disappointment, and expressing discouragement in the strongest possible terms? Not all of us, of course, can rise from our discouragement to do what Lincoln did. But it’s worth remembering. It ought to help spur us on to new en­ deavor the next time we think we’re out of luck.

At birth the difference in expectation of life is two years in favour of the girl infant, although after the first year the advantage is somewhat reduced, follow their course through life we find that this lower female mortality disappears about the age of 23 and gives way to a distinctly lower male mortality. In fact the female mor­ tality keeps rising above the male mortality until the maximum differ­ ence is reached at the age of 31. At that age it begins to fall with respect to' males until at the age of 42 it falls below and remains below male mortality for the rest of life. There is little doubt that this high­ er female mortality, which occurs at the point of life when the risks attached to childbirth are most pres­ et, is related to, it not brought on entirely by such risks. It is gratify­ ing to note that it decreased conside- ably between 1921 and 1931. It is rather remarkable that each of the five geographical divisions of Canada tells very nearly the same with regard to the difference between male and female mortality in the Dominion as a whole. There is, however, one exception. British Col­ umbia shows a higher mortality for males than the females at every age of life outside the short period from, (11 to 1‘5 years.

COATES Drives Truck for 10 Years Without An Accident A quarter of a million miles is a lot of driving for anyone, but when a woman drives a truck that far without an 'accident she merits re­ cognition, according to officials of the Automotive Transport Associa­ tion. So when the association met in Toronto Saturday, Mrs. Irene Harvey, of Hensail, will be made a member of the Legion of Safety. The Legion of Safety is an honor­ ary organization of truckmen who have driven five years without an accident. Mrs. Harvey, in the 10 years since she fired an incompetent driver from her husband’s truck and took over the controls herself, has driven about 250,000 miles without even a dented fender. In the decade of hauling gravel for highway work near here, Mrs. Har­ vey’s sole casualty has been a tur­ key which disputed the right-of-way with her.
