FIGHT IS ON between WALL STREET
MANIPULATORS AND POLICYHOLDERS

"For the first time in their lives
the policyholders of the New York
Life and of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance companies will be able to cast
votes which have not been chloro-
formed in advance. Wall street
financiers must now look to the
ballot box for continuance of
their control and manipulation of
nearly $500 100000 of insurance as
sets"
This is the brief statement made
by the officers of the International
Policyholders committee when they
gave out for publication the names
of the gentlemen who have con.
scented to serve on whot is prob
ably the most distinguished COM
mittee ever organized.
The recently enacted New York
laws fix definitely the conditions
governing the elections of directors
in the above companies. Each
policyholder will have one vote. re-

Some people require more bathing than oth- CTS. Brunettes, as class, and fat people in particular, are apt to need more baths and lotions to disr-l the secretions and precipitation that defile the skin. In order to live up to the ideal, woman should be exquisitely and habitually clean, and rather over. step than fall short of the so-called hygienic standard.

 dresses and play grown-up part. She loves freedom and hearty outdoor life; in fact is good, sensible tomboy.
 When the Roosevelt family had to make the move to the White House there were certain members not at all pleased with the prospect; these mem bers Ethel and Quentin, the Washing ton mansions had small attraction for them, they much preferred the big country place, unhampered country life. s.
 Her brothers had found the girl as good a comrade as boy; she could race with the fieetest; play tennis with the best-if the truth be known she outrivalled the boys with racquet and ball; a fearless rider It will be far cry from these happy romping days to prim young ladyhood, donning airs and graces. gaa ,diraed ar
 But we would not have you think the young girl is at all wanting in graces of girihood. It does not follow because girl is tomboy that she is bold and unwomanly-rather the con- trary Is true, according to our way of thinking. Miss Ethel is modest and shy, she is fond of books and music, she is sweet and gracious. In appear ance she very much resembles her mother; has the latter's pretty color ing, her soft eyes, similar express sion. She bears little resemblance to her half-sister; Alice is tall and slen- der, Ethel shorter and more robust looking, She is the fortunate pos sessor of the finest of health, radiates vigor.
 Ethel is two years younger than Kermit, and two years her brother Archie's senior; the three close enough of an age to be good comrades. She is the only daughter of the second wife, the present Mrs. Roosevelt. Her mother has brought up the children according to well defined ideals; given them the freedom the modern educa- tion advises, and also the watchful su- pervision. On one point she has been very decided, and that about their reading, allowed no inferior children's books in their library, the kind lack ing utterly in literary value; they have been surrounded by the best, had open to them the choicest in literature, and the young girl is as fond of reading as she is of riding and tennis. A fine ex- ample of wise training, where physical and mental development each has re- ceived it's due. That the spiritual side has received its due We need not doubt: that kindness and altruism been ingrained, We may be sure.
 Up to the present Ethel Roosevelt has been very much in the background, the people have known her name and that about all. But now her picture is appearing in the papers. presently We shall all feel intimately acquainted with her. Presently Ethel Roosevelt will come out" what she says and does and is going to do, be carefully It is we'll she had such a fine free childhood, grew up in unre- seclusion.

It would be much more whole some for the 16-year-old girl to be left in seclusion. to keep out of the lime lights, but we very much doubt if the insistent American, public will allow this, It has a lot of admiration it wants to bestow, and the daughter of the thief executive is an object worthy of national adulation.
