October 17, 1925 WINNET KA TALK You Ought to Live to Be 100 in This State; Data Shows Last year 83 centennarians were gathered to their fathers in Illinois. Out of the lot only two fell victim to senility, Father Time's own personal work. Of the remainder 53 succumbed to chronic nephritis. While the others were taken off by a dozen different causes. Living to be 100 is getting to be quite common in the state. At least the number of persons who pass out of that advanced age has doubled dur- ing the last seven years. In 1918 only 37 out of that 106,166 deaths in that year were among centennarians, while last year 83 of the 77,144 persons who died has passed the century mark. Likewise the 90 to 100 age group has grown in poularity, judging from mortality returns. In 1918 there were 770 deaths of persons between 90 and 100, while last year there were 1,258, an increase of 488 or 63 per cent. The possibility of increasingly longer lives is suggested by the age ratio in lower animals. As determined by the ossification of their bones, a dog is mature at 2 years of age and old at 10. A cow is mature at 3 and old at 15, while a horse is mature at 5 and old at 25, old age being five times the maturity age in each case. A man is mature at about 25 and at the same ratio should be 125 before he is con- sidered old. Every centennarian has a different recipe for living to an advanced age. Research workers point out that long lived individuals invariably come from long lived stock. Students of genetics proclaim that the cross-breeding of human stock is so general that almost anyone could trace back his ancestry to long lived individuals. Health offi- cers declare that hygiene and sani- tation has improved health conditions remarkably during recent years and that the average life has been stretched about 10 years during the last decade, while more old folks die now than ever before. Announce Change in Day for Rockford Benefit Because of the benefit to be held on the Burnham terrace in Evanston Octo- ber 24, and the coming of the Marine band to the Patten gymnasium, the North Shore branch of the Chicago Rockford College association has post- poned the concert to be given by Rol- lin M. Pease, assisted by Mrs. Emily Parsons Hunt, for the benefit of the Jane Addams Social Service chair at Rockford college, until November 7.
