There are lots OF selfish persons who say:
We'll what's the use of me getting insured?
After I'm dead the money derived cannot be

earped dollars for the sake of leaving bone
of contention to be fought over by my rela-
tives."
Partly for the who is likely to make
that statement and partly for the individual
who would provide himself against the infirmi-
ties of old age. great insurance companies
have devised policies whereby the party In
sured may come into his endowment when It
is most needed
The endowment policy is the which is
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 companys Golfers and at the
end of 10, 20. 80, 40 so years the entire
amount for which the policy holder was In
sured is turned to him 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 tho rate, other things being equal.

New York department store, which, seeing a
boom in this article, "scooped" its contempor-
aries by securing an early supply.
The merchants who secured the goods felt
rather skeptical themselves to whether the
latest Partisan costume would hold the Gotham
women's attention AS consequence a New
York broker instructed to secure an In
surance policy upon the sale of the gowns
In fact, tc insure the popularity of the cos
tune in America.
To the surprise of the broker, merchants and
New Workers. the proposition was turned down
fiat. Applications to other companies who
were 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 the 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
persifage 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 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. "if you'd
tow 1t down to Picadilly lane where 1t could
be watched by Lloyds"
However, the sort of insurance about which
the average American knows most is life in
surance and this industry alone has reached
such stage of development that there is lit
tie unexplored territory for 1t to enter There are
life insurance agents everywhere. Statistics
say that for every hundred men of the big
cities there is one and sometimes two life in
surance agents. So the reader can easily dis
Germ that there is plenty OF opportunity to pro-
vide his or her family with financial protection
after death.

garding legal requirements. Nearly every up
to-date American possesses insurance upon his
life. If it is not 81 900 1t may be $500 or 800.
but among the richest citizens of the country
there are seven men who carry 81 100000 or
more upon their lives. Rodman Wanamaker of
Philadelphia a merchant prince is insured to
the amount of s4,000.000. He is the most
heavily insured man in the world, for there is
not a person, even among the monarchs of
the old hemisphere, who can lay claim to in
surance equivalent to onehaf that amount.
Two men in the United States carry $1,500,-
600 upon their lives and there four whose
death would net their families $1.O00000,
enough to support several generations of fam
lilies.
Among New Workers. Financier James B.
Colgate carries more insurance than any of
his neighbors in Gotham, his policies which
number nearly score, aggregating 900.
However, that sleepy old Quaker city
Philadelphia-shows the world a thing or two
in providing for its kin after the death of the
wage The millionaires and multi-mil-
lionaires of that city in proportion to their
number have acquired far more life insurance
than those of any other city in America and
probably in the world
The Insurance Press, an organ which has
devoted itself this year to the gathering OF
has presented mass of information on the
subject They all TEEN with the dollar sign
and show just how much money there is in
the Golfers of the country's rich. The statis-
tics touch only the high spots in general
sumo, but they show the relations between
Americas great cities and give a line on the
general rainy-day provisions which are taken
by men of nationwide fame.
A synopsis of the report follows
"One hundred and eighty-four residents Of
Philadelphia are insured for $33. 200. 900, while
New York, with four times as many million

That Is rather broad statement.
There is just exception in the list Oh
things insurabe. That is the directoire gown
But there many insurable things
that the French creation is hardly missed.
Here's few of the things whose destruc
tion or safety you may wager, at long Odds
with insurance companies:
Lives, homes, births, deaths, marriage, do
mestic animals, livestock, barns crops, circuses,
the success of business, vessels, any sort OF
conveyance, against injuries, beauty, suit OF
clothes any wearing apparel. jewelry, false
hair, teeth, health, athletic prowess, theatrical
productions, ideas of all kinds airships, bank
accounts, stocks, bonds, success in the forma-
tion of social organizations. elections OF all
kinds, fluctuations of the stock market, race
courses, important messages, exploring expe-
ditions, mining enterprises, rain, snow, heat.
cold, eyesght, bodily strength, sanity, etc.,
ETC., etc.
/ could keep up that string of things in
surable all day long, for in Lloyds great insur-
ance directory in England there are dozens
of gigantic ledgers which list the articles and
human beings upon which that company and
other concerns are wont to bet in relation to
their destruction or safety.
And out of these insurance propositions grow
a dozen side lines to each plan. For instance,
taking crops example: You can insure
your wheat, corn, oats, barley, flax, beet sugar,
butter, eggs or cheese against destruction by
fire, by cyclones, by excessive heat, excessive
cold, by robbers by accident. The same
with your life You may provide yourself with
insurance against injury on trains; If you are
a sailor, against drowning; if you are a rail
road fireman, against wrecks; If a miier
against being entombed and so forth. until the
entire list has been exhausted
But the sheath-directoire gown won't insure
The why and wherefore OF this is because
insurance cliques believe that this article of
wear is destined to become decidedly unpop
ular in the United States. In Paris this might
be given consideration but in America the
populace is given credit for large stock Of
feminine modesty
Only recently this test was made in New
York. Loyds received an application for
$4,000 policy on a consignment of sheath
gowns from Paris, which were bought by big
