Y.M.C.A. carefully from the medical point of view, and I worked with him in applying actuarial methods to his

results.

We prepared a voluminous report with elaborate tables, and it was submitted to the Royal Society and accepted, and was read before the Royal Society on May 4th, 1863 It will be found in the Procced ings of the Royal Society" Vol. 54, and can, no doubt, be consulted by any one sufficiently interested, but, by permission of the Royal Society, it was reprinted in the "Journal of the Institute of Actuaries" 1901, and is given in full in Vol 36, page 120.

The question arose again in 1901, when a paper was read on Febri ary 23th of that rear by Mr. Richard Teece, then manager and actuary of the Australian Mutual Provident Society of Sydney, and debated at a meeting of the io stitute. Mr. Teece's paper and the debate will be found in the volume of the Journal of the Institute at Actuaries" above mentioned... Faulty Conclusions,

The 'conclusion arrived at by Sir Arthur Newsholme and myself was, that there had been no real in- crease of cancer up to 1993. Can. ter, up to age seventy-five at any rate, is a function of the age, and,. unless age distribution be kept carefully in view, the conclusions drawn from statistics are erroneous and misleading.

Southport, is 29. I have a wife and child, but have been out of work several months now." he said. "and it was with the idea that I might pick up a job that I came to Aintree. A man gave me a tip for watching his car, and I put a hilling on Uncas IL, little think? ing that a few minutes laver should have chance not only of backing the horse. but riding the animal also.

The crowd were so enthusastie about Howard's handling of the animal that they made a collection in the paddock, and the would-be jockey received a substantial sum..
