CAN NOT DO BUSINESS
INsUHKNcE COMPANY SHUT
 OUT OF ALABAMA.
State Commissioner Debars a Balti- moro Concern for Failure to
 Comply With Law-News at the Capitol.

The Deputy State Insurance Commis- sioner yesterday issued an order for ever debarring the German Insurance Company of Baltimore from adjusting a loss or doing business in Alabama. The Baltimore company Is in the fire insurance business and it wrote a pol icy on the risk of a Montgomery fur niture store without complying with the laws of the State.
 The German Insurance Company of Baltimore has never done business in Alabama and it is said that the policy on the furniture store was purchased by a citizen of Baltimore who is in- terested in the local concern. The fur niture company had 8 loss and it's ad- justment reached the Insurance Con- missioner with the result that the company was debarred from doing bus mess in the State. s
 Section 2605 of the insurance laws of Alabama provides that Any person who may desire to place his insuranGe in foreign companies not authorized to do business in this State may place such insurance. but the person placing such insurance shall at once make re- turn of his action in this behalf to the Insurance Commissioner, together  with per cent. on the gross premiums received on the insurance so placed, and it shall be lawful under such con- tracts of insurance for any person to adjust a loss under same; Provided further. That when any losses are ad- justed as provided in this section, 1t shall be the duty of such adjuster be- fore entering into an adjustment of such loss, directly or indirectly, or the company or companies represented by him, to cause to be paid to the In- surance Commissioner of this State one-half of per cent. of the amount paid on such joss, and for failure to comply with tSe requirements of this proviso, such adjuster shall be subject to all the pains and penalties inflicted by the second preceding section upon agents for acting as agents of unli- censed insurance companies. and in ad- dition thereto such adjuster and insur- ance company or companies represent. ed ty him shall be forever barred from adjusting loss or doing business in this State."

Answers to
Correspondents.

Mr.. Editor, the poetical quotation:
IF I am right, etc." which appeared
in your last weeks issue is from Pope.
Yours,
Spokesman.
NV father was born in Sweden, was
born in Wisconsin and took out my
papers at the Clerks office upstairs In
postoffice building in Duluth. Can I
vote at this election or must I get out
second papers? Some say need them
and some say I don't. Please answer.
A. j.
You didn't need any papers In the
first place. You are a citizen of the
United States by birth. You can vote
at the coming election If you possess
the necessary qualifications as to resi-
dence,
I used to know Of an old rule, that
was very simple for measuring the
height of a tree, but really I have for
gotten it. Do you know Of any simple
rule? # not, perhaps, some one of your
readers does. FARMER,
Germantown.
The following rule will enable you
to- approximate. very CLOSELY to the
height from the ground Of any point
desired on the tree. Take stake, say
feet in length and place it perpen-
dicularly against the tree you wish to
measure. Then step back any number
of rods, say twenty rods or more, from
which to do the measuring. AT this
point a light pole and measuring rule
are required. The pole is raised be-
tween the eyes and the tree and the
rule Is brought into position against the
pole. Then by sighting observe what
length of the rule is required to cover
the stake at the tree, and what the en-
tire tree, dividing the latter length by
the former and multiplying by the
number of feet the stake is long you
reach the height Of the tree. For ex-
ample, if the stake at the tree be feet
above ground and at distance of 20
rods, one inch on your rule corresponds
exactly with this and if the entire
height Of the tree corresponds with say
nine inches on the rule, this would
show the height of the tree to be 81
feet.
In what state is Antietam? What is
it's population? Give me some par
ticulars Of the battle fought there.
YOUNGSTER.
| Antietam is a river in Maryland,
flowing into the Potomac, few miles
from Harper's Ferry. On its banks the
battle named after it. was fought be-
| tween the Union troops under Gen. Nc
Clellan, and the Confederate army un-
der Gen. Lee. The Union army held
the field, but at loss of about twelve
thousand men.
What is an armistice, and what Is
it for? The paper says there was an
armistice between the armies Of Colum-
bia and another army. MRS. M.
| An armistice Is temporary suspen-
sion of hostilities between two armies
or two nations at war. It takes place
sometimes when both are exhausted
and need rest, at other times when
negotiations for peace are pending be-
tween the governments Of the two ma
| tons.
! What was the cost of the war of the
Rebellion in money? OLD SOLDIER.
| Estimated at $500, 100000
How many Mormons are there in the
United States and do they still practice

whether they still practice polygamy
or not we cannot say. It is disputed

What are the merits Of the contro-
versy between County Supt Parks and
Prof. Denfeld? Which do you think
is right? TEACHER.
Not desiring to be at all uncivil in
reply. We don't know and don't care
If the court has not already decided
the question it soon will and our opin-
ion would cut no figure either one way
or the other. We never interfere in the
quarrels of school teachers or church
choirs, for as a rule, both are fear
fully and wonderfully inexplicable.
What is meant by the specific gravity
of anything? The school reader states
that the specific gravity of gold is
1926. LONGsHOREMEN.
The weight of anything as compared
with water is it's specific gravity. For
instance If water be represented by 100,
alcohol being lighter would be repre-
sented by "a; turpentine by So; Cows
milk by 103 (heavier); silver by 1851;
gold by 1925: a gallon of water weigh
ing ten pounds Is the basis.
A gentleman is visiting at the home
of a lady friend Of mine. Is it correct
for me to invite him to our home when
first introduced to him?
MARGUER1TE.
That depends upon the degree Of In
t!macy between your, antilles. It Is
wholly question OF propriety to be
determined by circumstance. If you
are close friend to the family he is
visiting, to invite him would not be
improper. We are glad you asked the
question because etiquette is our strong
point. so strong that we speak respect
fully even Of those who are trying to
prevent our election for alderman.
If it were not for our profound sense
Of etiquette we might be disposed to
suspend the rules, resolve ourselves
into a committee of the whole. and 60
for some Of them a la John L. Sullivan
style.
Are you in favor Of woman's political
rights. WOODLAND.
Yes, and mems political rights too.
We are in favor Of everybody's political
rights. If any woman at Woodland is
deprived Of her political rights let her
make her grievances known to the
Labor World, and Solomon in all his
glory would not be compared to the
gorgeousness Of our war paint in her
behalf
What has become Of ]. Adam Bede?
INQUIRER.
Nothing has become Of him. He is
as active, intellectual and philosophical
as ever; laying and perfecting his plans
for the next congressional campaign.
He believes himself to be specially
adapted for the career of good con-
gresham and there are thousands who
believe he is right.
If not time is mentioned in a note
for 800 as to when it shall be paid,
how long does it run and when is it
due, If ever. w. r. M.
The lawyers say it is due and pay
able on demand. It will run six years
in Minnesota
Do you think there is any probable
ity of an American succeeding His
Holiness Pope Leo? ENGL1sHMAN.
No, nor an Englishn1an either, for
the very good and sufficient reason
that neither nation have a rrelate with
the eminent training and experience in
church matters, which are an in
, dispensable prerequisite to so high a
dignity.
Several questions remain to be an
