The dealer looked discouraged. Beck
went through the same process of tasting

If young man going home from sing

choice was holding her mittened hand to
keep 1t from getting cold and took that

to withdraw the hand would leave the

The use of the word 'mutf," meaning a

ttlng IN the ASSOCIATION rooms
zy evening. After piano solo
been rendered acceptably by Miss
irene Cowgirl. debate took place on the
question, Resolved, That lie is never
justifable." Norman Van Pelt Lewis was
the assigned speaker on the affirmative
side, and Samuel A. Atkinson on the neg
alive.
Both sides presented good arguments,
but the broad scope of the question made
it almost impossible for the affirmative to
carry the hour. An isolated instance in
which an unrruth is justifable must, of
course. upset the afirmatiye's argument,
no matter how strong. Mr.. Atkinson,
however, gave several cases in which a
lie seemed to be necessary, such as a
falsehood to save an innocent mans life.
or to person, dangerously i'll, to prevent
ageravating the patients condition.
The afirmative's main points were that
Christianity, morality and example to the
young, demand the truth at all times and
under all circumstances.
A general debate followed, after which
it was decided. both by Chairman Frank
Parsons and by vote of the majority of
those present, that there are extreme
cases in which lie is justifiable.
These meetings of the Society are in
teresting and instructive, and are well at
tended.
The next debate takes place on Thurs
day evening, January 5.
The subject to be debated will be. RE-
solved, That the nation should own and
operate its railways" The speakers on
the affirmative side will be Rev. R. A.
Rodrick and James L. JamIson on the
negative, Mark R. Sooy and George Hill

New Form Of Policy.

On January LIST, new form of fire in
surance policy went into effect in this
State. The change was made under an &C t
Of the. last Legislature, which provided that
the Commissioner of Insurance should
prepare new form of policy for use in
this State, to be known as The Standard
Fire Insurance Policy Of the States Of
Pennsylvania, New York and New Jer-
sey.n
Commissioner George S. Duryee, the
Commissioner of Banking and Insurance,
has prepared the policy. On and after
January 1st, all fire insurance companies
must adopt this policy. This will be a
great benefit to the people generally, as an
acquaintance with one policy will enable
them to know the provisions of any other,
no matter in what company the insurance
is taken.
The standard policy is not new one
In the old policies the conditions are usu-
ally printed in the finest type that can be
had, and the average insurer rarely takes
the time to decipher them. In the new
policy this will be changed, and uniform
ly legible type must be used. The new
policy will also enable losses to be adjust
ed more rapidly. Under the present sys-
tenn each company very largely had its
own rules and conditions. and when loss
occurred in which number of companies
were involved. the conflicting and some.
times inconsistent conditions of the differ
ent contracts frequently led to protracted
and vexatious litigation. The mutual
companies will probably experience more
difficulty in adjusting their policies to the
new law than the others, but under the
law 1t will be compelled to make the nee
essary changes. A heavy penalty is in
fiicted for every breach of the law, but
any policy issued contrary to the provis-
ions of the act will be binding as between
the company and the individual.
