      IN 1909 . . . Avg. life expectancy was 47. Only 14% of homes had a bathtub. Only 8% had a telephone. There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved roads.  The max. speed limit in cities was 10 mph. Average wage was 22cents per hr., avg. worker made $200-$400 per yr. More than 95% of births took place at home. The population of Los Vegas was 30. Crossword puzzles had not yet been invented. 2 out of 10 adults could not read or write and only 6% had graduated from high school .  Marijuana, heroin and morphine were all available over the counter at the local drugstore.  95% of today&apos;s taxes did not exist in 1909. Just a reminder of how far we&apos;ve come.
