Co,h:e ArchiiectiJrc.

Gothic architecture began about the ninth century after Christ and soon l,e::aa to spread all over Europe Its great feature is the pointed arch. and it was at first called the pointed style" Most of the glorious old world are in the Gothic. and it is generally conceded that for religious nlrposcs no other style of architecture is so perfectly suited. It has been said that the first idea of the Gothic was suggested by the interlacing bou%hs and trunks of the great woods in which German Christianity was formed; hence the name Gothlc.-NeW 1ofk American.

(From Chicago Daily Tribune

(FrOm Chicago Daily Tribune)
Serious charges, apparently we'll
sustained, are made against the Con
tinental Casualty company of Chi
cago in a report made today by the
committee on health and accident
settlements to the national conyen-
tion of insurance commissioners.
The president Of the company at
the hearing of the committee ac-
cepted the report of the examiners
He said his company had already put
in operation some of the reforms
suggested by the committee and
that all criticised claims would be
reopened and full restitution made
under his personal supervision.
The Continental company is the
largest of those writing health and
accident insurance among the labor
ing classes. 1t is also a general cas-
uality company. The examination, a
summary of which was given out had
to do, however, only with the treat
raent of loss claimants and benefic-
iaries in the so-called industrial
health and accident branch.
The company's industrial premi-
rms in the year 1910 were upwards
OF 100000, and its premiums from
it's railroad policies, through which
it insures railroad employees of all
classes. were upwards of $1,20O,O0O.
The examination included an in
vestigation of all specific claims in
the Industrial department, such as
death and limb and eye loss, for a
period of about eighteen months.
Settlements with policyholders for
sick and accident disability benefits
were also somewhat gone into.

Concerning this policy of the COM

says:
"The policy indicated results in
numerous cases where this company
though informed of the accident by
agents or undertakers, escapes max
ing payment because the bene-
ficiary is not SO well informed; in
change of occupation cases, where
the change is more shadowy than
real, and in a large number of in

therefore, makes no claim.
There are also evidences of an
eagerness to keep silent about
claims where the beneficiaries live
in foreign lands.

who was murdered, and the company
therefore was liable for only one
fifth of his $50 policy. The bene-

Corporation Tax Being Considered.

According to information from Wash
ington the commission of tax inquiry
named by Governor Osborn to deter
mine if the states taxing system can
be improved upon, is giving attention
to the matter of establishing a cor
poration tax In this state as means
of providing funds for maintaining
the state government. Former Lieut..
Gov. p. H. Kelley of the commission
and Prof. David Friday Of the depart
ment of economics at the university
are in Washington securing certain
information to aid the commission in
it's investigation, and according to dis
patches from there, they hit the cap
ital at Just the right time.
The department has been gathering
statistics as to taxation OF corpora
tions in the states and already has
published reports covering New Eng
land and Atlantic states and today an
nounces its report on the eastern
central states, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
Commissioner Herbert Knox Smith
OF the bureau of corporations, writing
Secretary Nagel, thus sums up his
findings as to Michigan: Michigan
and Wisconsin make elaborate physi'
cal valuation of steam and street
railway property, which with earning
capacity, forms the basis of state-ad'

Drinking Cup Still at Detroit.

St'HNiI'S Sup Gun dt bCtTOIt.
Although the state board of
health recently made public an or
der to abolish the public drinking cup,
the common little disease promoter is
still very much in evidence about De-
troit. 1t is a case of a new broom
which Is not sweeping scrupulously
clean.
Nearly every hotel in the city has
a glass or porcelain cup under its ice
water tank and in no cases have they
been replaced with sanitary "bub-
blers." Most lunch counters provide
enough glasses, so that each one need
be used but once before being washed.
At the Michigan Central depot four
cups still remain in the waiting rooms,
while at the Union depot they have
been supplanted by a vending ma
chine, which sells an individual paper
cup for one cent.
The cup Is seldom seen now on cars
of railroads operating in the state, but
the roads have not yet solved the
drinking problem to their satisfaction.
The Pere Marquette and the Michigan
Central are considering the PROPOSE
ton Of installing penny vending ma
chimes; however, it is feared that the
paper cups, after being used once,
would be thrown about the cars and
create very unsanitary conditions.
According to railroad officials senh-
ment of the travelling public is strong
ly in favor of the new order. The ma
.jority of travellers carry metal folding
cups with them. Few complaints are
heard by the conductors, for the anti
cup campaign has been in progress in
many states for some time and people
are becoming accustomed to providing
themselves with drinking receptacles
or else going thirsty.
I'VE will endeavor to arrange SO
that our agents can sell paper cups at
all stations" said Leonard S. Tanka-
bury, chief clerk of the d. U. r. Like
other railways, we are providing wa
ter on all our interurban cars, but the
passenger must furnish his own cup.
There does not seem to be any sani-
tary fountain that is practical for rail-
way service. We have the cup vend-
ing machine in many of our stations
and that seems to be as near the solu-
tiop of the problem as we can get for
the present"

BIG FRUIT YEAR
FOR MICHIGAN
LARGE QUANTITIES OF PEACHES,
PLuMs, APPLES AND PEARS
TO BE OFFERED.
SPRAYING TREES HAS HELPED
Beets Are Being Sold at Forty Cents
a BusheI-Potatoes Have Grown
Well, but the Yield Is Small.

Lansing.-Peaches, plums, apples
and pears are to be offered in Michi-
gan markets in large quantities before
fall say Lansing grocers. Already the
vanguard of the early yield of all
these fruits has arrived in Lansing,
except the pears, which are offered In
the Grand Rapids market, however.
Early Michigan peaches came to
Lansing. The little white clingstones
could be bought at wholesale for $3.50
a bushel, while one grocer sold at re-
tall for 80 cents, a few baskets Of
small freestones. Those which attract
ed the most attention, however, were
the big Arkansas peaches, actually as
large as mans fist, which could be
bought for 40 cents basket. Last
year, these sold at 80 cents. But even
If the early fruit is high, owners of
peach orchards declare that the crop
is big, and that by the middle of Sep
tember great quantities will be on
sale.
Sweet apples are also purchasable
now, and red Astrakhans are large
and of delicious flavor. Not only
has the spraying helped, but the state
Of Michigan, through the agricultural
college, is causing many trees afflicted
with the white scale to be cut down.
One farmer living near this city says
that he lost half of his orchard in this
way last fall, that surrounding or
chards might be protected.
All plum trees are said to be loaded
with the fruit which is now worth
about $1.50 a bushel, wholesale. Grand
Rapids wholesalers offer pears at $1.75
a bushel, and 1t is probable that Ian
sing grocers will soon invest. Beets
are now bringing 40 cents a bushel
and home grown tomatoes have with
in the last two or three days been Of
fered at seven cents to Lansing gro
GERS by truck gardeners. Cauliflowers
are now being shipped in, and are re-
tailed at from Is to rs cents, accord
ing to size.
But the man OF the house has dis
covered that potatoes are a luxury.
