Influenza Nearly Vanished in 1921 Says Insurance Chief
Robert Lynn Cox of Metropolitan Life reported at the life insurance presidents meeting that 1921 saw 153000 fewer deaths in the US and Canada than 1920, with influenza deaths almost eliminated. He warned auto/motor vehicle deaths rose, totaling 2624 in 1921, and cited $170 million in excess losses from 1918–19 epidemics. Life expectancy could rise from 51 to 70 with better disease prevention.

X Rays Save Child Life in Removal of Coins
Andrew Boras a 4 year old from New Castle was saved at Milliken Hospital after pennies and a nickel swallowed last week began choking him. Surgeons used a fluroscope attached to an X ray machine to guide the coins from his esophagus while the child remained conscious under cocainization. The coins were located near the sixth cervical vertebra and removed successfully. The reference to Mohammedans planting cypress trees appears as stray text.
