STANLEY CONSIDERS CHURCH MUSIC CONCERT GREAT ATTRACTION. Editor, The Michigan Daily: Music lovers of Ann Arbor will be offered an unusual opportunity of hearing what is in reality the finest church music in the world. I refer to the concert to be given by the choir of the Russian Cathedral of St. Nicho- las, of News York, in Hill auditorium tomorrow evening at 8:00 o'clock. To those who have heard the won- derful choir in St. Isaac's, St. Peters- burg, and the Russian churches in Berlin and Paris, nothing need be said, but to those who have never heard the Russian singers, I should like to state that there is really noth- ing like- it in the world. The program is to be made up of Russian ecclesias- tical music, which is unique in every respect, wonderfully effective from the musical side, and absolutely com- pelling in its effect. A unique feature of a Russian choir lies in the fact that they have basses who can sing one octave lower than our second basses, a thing which seems improbable as a mere statement, but which is an absolute fact. They have appeared in the leading societies and in concert in New York City and have everywhere evoked not only admiration but genuine astonish- ment. This will be one of the series of concerts offered by the University Musical Society to the citizens of Ann Arbor without money and without price, and it would be a serious re- flection on our musical appreciation if Hill auditorium is not crowded to its utmost capacity on Friday evening. May I state distinctly that I con- sider it one of the greatest attractions which has even been offered to an Ann Arbor audience, and I trust that it will be fully appreciated, as no doubt it will. A. A. STANLEY. ANNUAL COLLEGE OF PHARMACY DIANCE TO TAKE PLACE FRIDAY Packard academy will be the scene of the annual dance of the College of Pharmacy to be held tomorrow night. The chaperones for the party will be Dean J. 0. Schlotterbeck and Mrs. Schlotterbeck and Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Glover. Fischer's orchestra will fur- nish the music. Tickets, which sell for $1.00, may be secured from the committee in charge, consisting of M. L. Rushmore, H. W. Wickett, '17P, G. J. Fischer, '18P, and W. E. Kirchgess- ner, '19P. Professor James W. Giover, of the mathematics departmenit, has recent- ly completed his compilation of a se- ries of tables covering vital statistics, which are to be incorporated in a bulletin of life tables soon to b, is- sued by Director Sam L. Rogers, of the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, Washington. This bulletin is unique, in being the first of its kind to be published by the United States government. The tables, which show death rates and expecta- tion of life at all ages for all classes of people, were computed from statis- tics drawn from eleven eastern and central states, and were worked out under formulas devised by Professor Glover. They are intended primarily to be of service to public health offi- cials, physicians, sociologists, and ac- tuaries. A first edition of approxi- mately 25,000 copies will be printed. Women Live Longer Than Men According to these tables the ex- pectation of life, at birth, for native white males is 50.6 years; for native white females, 54.2 years; for negro males, 34.1 years; and for negro fe- males, 37.7 years. Females are thus longer lived than males to the extent of more than three years.' The expectation of life at the age of one is considerably greater than at birth, being 56.8 years for native white males and 59.5 for native white fe- males, and reaches its maximum at the age of two, when it is 57.5 for the former class and 60.1 'for the latter. At the age of 12 the average native white male's expectation of life is 50.2 years; at 25 it is 39.4 years; at 40, 28.3 years; at 50, 21.2 years; at 60, 14.6 years; at 70, 9.1 years; and at 80, 5.2 years. Similarly, at the age of 12 the average native white female's expectation of life is 52.6 years; at 25 it is 41.8 years; at 40, 30.3 'years; at 50, 22.8 years; at 60, 15.8 years; at 70,' 9.8 years; and at 80, 5.5 years. City Death Rates Higher Than Country The relative healthfulness of city and country is strikingly shown by the tables, according to which the death rate among white males under one year of age in cities in 13,380 per 100,000 born alive, whereas in the country the corresponding rate is only 10,326 per 100,000, or 23 per cent less than the rate for cities. A similar dif- ference prevails with respect to white females under one year of age, for whom the death rate in cities in 11,123 per 100,000 born alive, while in rural localities it is only 8,497 per 100,000, or 24 per cent less than the urban rate. For white males the expectation of life at birth in rural localities is 7.7 years greater than in.cities; at the age of 10, 5.4 years greater; and until the age of 39 is reached therd is a margin of more than five years in fa- vor of the country. For white females the difference between urban and rural longevity, while pronounced, is somewhat less than in the case of males. At birth the white female's expectation of life is 6 years greater in rural than in urban localities; at 10, 3.3 years great- er; and until the age of 46 is attained the difference continues to be more (Continued on Page Six) LUNCHES, CANDIES, HOT SUNDAE AT THE SUGAR BOWL 109 SOUTH MAIN STREET WE MAKE OUR OWN CANDIES OUT OF THE PUREST AND BEST MATERIALS r-- Calling ut The Reserves is a daily performance for the college lad to meet the highest mental and physical endeavor-and if he has no reserves to-draw upon he cannot meet the su- preme demand at the. critical moment in class room or on the athletic field.
