IN MERIDIAN
REMAINS HERE FOR iATERMENT

THE STATE--TWENTY YEARS IN
INSURANCE BUSINESS

The many friends here of Mr..

Henry standing pat in his re-
fusaI to grant license to operate
in Mississippi unless prescribed
regulations are complied with,
the inter-insurance companies
that have been doing business in
this state for. the past ten years
have a rather rocky road to trav-
ell and it looks very much like
they are destined to lose the
hard-earned victory achieved al
the recent session of the legis-
lature.
The inter-insurance plan is
much in vogue. among the lurn-
Der manufacturers, saw mill
owners and cotton compress
companies, and it is estimated
that they are now carrying risks
in Mississippi, with and without
legal sanction. amounting to
fully twenty million dollars.
Since the enactment of the
statute legalizing this form OF
insurance, and prescribing a
method of supervision, only one
company has succeeded in salts
flying. Insurance Commissioner
Henry as to Its solvency and
right to transact business in the
state. Other companies, includ-
ing the five concerns against
which State Revenue Agent Adj
ans has filed back tax suits,
have applications pending. but
the insurance commissioner de-
clines to grant them license until
they submit reports showing the
status of their business in other
states, as well as Mississippi, his
contention being that a mere
statement Of the volume of risks
carried in Mississippi is not suf-
| ficient to prove a condition of
solvency.
Unless repots of this character
are filed it will then be up to the
interinsurance concerns to insure
mandamus proceedings to COM
pei Commissioner Henry to
grant licence. He perfers that
this course be taken, but, if the
inter-insurance companies do not
assume the aggressive, he will
then ask the courts to pass on

MISSISSIPPI SCIENTIST

the Jackson News of Tuesday
and will be read with interest by
the many friends Of DR.. Charley
r. Stockard native of this city:
'Dr. Charles r. Stockard, a
former Mississippian who is rec
ognized as one of the worlds
greatest medical scientists, has
been appointed as delegate from
the Carnegie Institution at
Washington, and also from Cor
nell University, to the Interna-
tional Congress of biologists.
which meets during the early
autumn at Gratz, Austria.
''Dr. Stockard has been re-
quested to read a paper before
the congress on the results of his
laboratory research work which
he is conducting at the Stazione
Geological at Naples, one of the
greatest geological laboratories
in the world. This is the first
time that a distinction of this
character has been conferred on
a native Mississippian, and to
DIR. Stockard belongs the credit
of being the only medical scien-
tist from this state who has
achieved international renown.
He is a graduate of the A. and
M. College at Starkville, taught
for few years at the Jefferson
Military Academy, and then
went to Columbia University,
where he finished with high
honors. In 1906 he was appoint
ed medical instructor at Cornell,
and now holds the chair of en-
bryoIogy and experimental
moshology at that institution,
having a department Of his own
and several assistants. He is
engaged in lecture work at Cor
nell from October to March, and
for the past three years he spent
his summers abroad engaged in
experimental and research work
in the great European laborato-
ries.
In several lines of research
work DR.. Stockard has won much
renown, many accounts of his in
vestigations having been pub
lished in the scientific, biological
and medical journals of America,
England, Germany and France.
Some of these works relate to
the cause that tend to produce
abnormal development of the
embryo or foetus, and he has
succeeded in producing expert
mentally, by the use of various
chemicals, monsters identically
similar to those born in nature,
the purpose of these researches
being to devise a method of pre-
venting abnormal births.
AT present DIR. Stockard is
endeavoring to find the cause
and cure of cancer, a subject
that is occupying the minds of
some of the worlds foremost
scientists. This is the object of
his experiments at the Stazione
Geological at Naples, and the re-
suits of his experiments will be
watched with much interest.
He is seeking the laboratories of
Europe in which he can find the
best material for his labors, and
his many old friends in Missis-
sippi sincerely hope that success
will crown his efforts.

At the end OF that time she was rubber

toilet proper began-in preparation
for an indoor or outdoor appearance
"a slave would remove the medicat ed
plaster and bathe the lady's face in
asses milk. This, of course, says the
Montreal Star, was all very we'll lor

would one say to the following ieli

Pliny, were rubbed on one after the

First, there were ashes Of snails or
