Insurance in Germany.

A most admirable example is to be
found IN the great national Insurance In

employees to contribute to funds estab-

eminent also giving financial assistance.
These funds are administered by great in
surance organizations carried on cooper
atively by employers and employees. These
organizations, having large sums at their
disposition, are important factors in the
money market Very sagaciously they
give preference. where possible, to objects

~ the lighter the draft upon their treas

organizations perceive that by issuing

cured from ordinary financial sources for
the building OF better houses for working
classes they are more than repaid for the
difference between these and the higher
rates that might be obtained IN the open
market since their dwellings mean better
health, consequently lessened expendi-
