A Woman Who Knows News.

Miss Emma De Zouche was one of
the women Of the staif on the recep-
ton committee for the entertainment
given in honor Of Joseph Pulitzer's
twenty-fifth anniversary as owner OF
the New York World. The reception
was held in the building with the gilt
dome on Park row, New York. Miss
De Zouche is one of the ablest report
ers in the country, and that without
dealing in the sensationalism by which
many women have made rapid ad-
vances in the profession. Not only
does she know how to get story. but
how to write It. She has been award
ed the prize of $50 which Mr.. Pulitzer
gives annually to a member of the staff
notably proficient in the use of Eng
lish. Miss De zouche would probably
have had an important editorial posi-.
ton were she not a woman.

Partly for the man who is likely to make
that statement and partly for the individual
who would provide himself against the infrmi-
ties Of old age. great insurance companies
have devised policies whereby the party tn
sured may come into his endowment when It
Is most needed
The endowment policy is the one which IL
perhaps more popular among young men Of the
age than any which has yet been put upon the
market This allows the payment Of yearly
premium into the company's Golfers and at the
end of 10. 20, 80, 40 or so years the entire
amount for which the policy holder was in
sured is turned over to him or her. The rate
Of insurance varies with the length OF time.
The longer the period between the payment OF
the first premium and the final endowment the
less the rate other things being equal.
just recently insurance companies intro
duced another sort Of proposition which is
just the reverse of that OF insuring ones life.

The merchants who secured the goods felt
rather skeptical themselves as to whether the
latest Partisan costume would hold the CONAN
womens attention. AS a consequence New
York broker WAS instructed to secure an in
surance policy upon the sale of the gowns

To the surprise of the broker, merchants and
New Workers. the proposition was turned down
fat Applications to other companies who
we're wont TO bet upon almost anything which
seemed good risk" also proved in vain and
the New York merchant went to work by in
serting advertisements in the newspapers,
through which method he hoped to overcome
the refusal of insurance.
This was tie first instance Of its kind ever
recorded, experts declare, In which Lloyds
have turned down the proposition of issuing a
policy. 1t probably was caused by the airy
persihage hurled by the male Americans who
gave the sheath gown the loud "haw-haw"
when 1t appeared.
No business in the history of the world has
spread out as the insurance game has 1t en-
compasses everything. One insurance man,
who rates himself quite wag, asked another
whether Lloyds would insure an iceberg from
melting.
why, yes" the latter answered. III you'd
tow It down to PicadilIy lane. where it could
be watched by Lloyds"
However. the sort of insurance about which
the average American knows most is life In
