DEATH AGE HERE IS INCREASING Health Office Records Show New Hanover Resi dents Live Longer Wilmingtonians are living long er than they once did, according to statistics of the consolidated health office here. Dr. A. H. Elliot, city-county health officer, revealed yesterday that his records show ages at death of New Hanover county residents have increased during the past 29 years from 28 to 48. In the past 10 years alone, the doctor declared, the average age of death has increased from 42 to 48 years. "I am willing to deny that Wil mington has an abnormally high death rate and I am writing to the state board of health and the U. S. public health service for their figures on our death rates and on those of the state and the nation as a 'hole, Dr. Elliot said. “These figures will be released as soon as received. “The implication of recent news paper articles and paid advertise ments, as I understand, is that Wilmington’s death rate is abnor mally high because of the detri mental effect of the chemically heated water furnished Wilmirg tonians by the city water depart ment under the supervision of the consolidated health department’s sanitary engineers. “From the standpoint of quan tity, probably over 99 per cent of the water consumed by resi dents of sizeable cities throughout the United States is chlorinated surface water. From the stand point of the number of "ities as big or bigger than Wilmington, probably 95 per cent to 98 per cent use treated surface water. “In addition, I can add that a large percentage of underground well water is chlorinated as an extra precaution against possible contamination. “I am sure that most state and federal authorities will recom mend, and, in most cases, demand, chlorination of underground well water as a precautionary meas ure.” Chlorination of public water sup T A 1 V AT LEAniNG lUUAl THEATRES TODAY ^ I AND SAT.

Each is an extra precaution against possible con tamination after all possible care has been taken in the supply of water or milk. “The amount of chlorine used in treating most underground well water supplies is as great or greater than the amount of chlo rine used in treating our water at the Hilton plant,” the health officer declared. “So far as the general chemical content of water is concerned, it is easy to see that the under ground water will have a much higher chemical content because surface water is chiefly rain water which left its chemicals behind in the ground in the process of evaporation.” According to a graph exhibited by Dr. Elliot, the average Wil mingtonian died at the age of 28 in 1910. In 1920, the average age of death here was 36 years of age. By 1930, it had increased to 42, and by 1939, to 48 years of age. Still births and the deaths of non-residents of the county were excluded from the figures. -V 3 Army Aviators Killed In Training Plane Crash CAMP DOUGLAS, Wis., June 25—UP)—Three Army fliers were killed in the crash of a train ing plane near here last night, .

NAVY THINNED OUT ON MANY FRONTS Senator Walsh Says Not Enough To Combat Subs On U. S. Coast WASHINGTON, June 25— UH — Commenting on the Navy’s an nouncement it now was convoying merchant shipping along the East coast, Seator Walsh (D-M a ss), chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee, declared today the Navy did not have “all that it needs at this time” to protect sea commerce successfully. “In my opinion,” he said in a statement, “our inability to check the submarine menace along the Atlantic coast is due to the fact that the Navy has not all that i needs at this time to give ade quate protection to shipping—that is, merchant vessels.” “As I have said before, the Navy is thinned out by reason of the large number of battle fronts it has been forced to safeguard. There is no question but that as soon as we get the number of plans and small boats required —which we r.re getting as fast as it is possible to produce them— the submarine menace will be lick ed. This does not mean that ships will not be sunk, but it does mean a much lower number of sinkings.” Senator Brewster tR-Me), also a Naval Affairs committeeman, de clared that Navy convoying was “not a permanent solution at all” to the question of safeguarding merchant vessels. Convoying, he said in an Inter view, “mars the effectiveness of ships by 50 per cent,” because each ship in a convoy must be regulated by the speed of the slow est.
