In accordance with established
University custom, the Faculty gave a
Halloween a party for the student
body Tuesday Y The young peo-
pie were out in full force together
with a large number of downtown
friends. The guests were greeted
and hobgoblins who kept the COM

of delight and, fear. Finally they
carried of the boys to meet their
fates and proceed in pairs to the
basement where they were initiated
into the various black arts Of the

ENTERTAINED THE HUSBANDS

Saturday evening last the first Of
the social functions of the Leota
Club was held when the husbands of
the members were entertained at a
dinner party, The club is divided in
to four committees, each OF which is,
to take turn in the form Of enter
tainment. On this occasion Mrs. ].
H. Ferris. Mrs. w. a. Wheeler and
Mrs. F. ". George were the hostess
and the dinner was served at the
home of Mrs. Ferris. Plates were
laid for eighteen, and the dinner was
served in three courses at $50
O'Clock. The decorations were in
with the Halloween's sea-
son, and added much to the attrac-
tiveness of the occasion. A large
pumpkin stood in the middle of the
table and this was filled with fruits.
At each plate was placed a paper

each year one hundred million
dollars in premiums to cover this

Fifty millions. there is no escaping
the n hundred millions that must
be collected to pay for them"
But .he MES. surprising fact set
forth in consideration of this sub
ject is that the insurance companies
themselves are unwilling to take the
necessary steps to stop the swindling
that is going on. Further, very good
reasons are given for the belief that
the Insurance companies themselves
are unwilling. to take the necessary
steps to stop the swindling that is
that is going on. Further. very good
reasons are given for the belief that
the insurance companies are glad to
be swindled. To quote again:
Now, of course, FIRE insurance
don't want whole cities to
burn down. CONGREGATIONS like that
In San Francisco use up more than
fifty per CEN Of the premiums col
lected. That is too big g strain. But
within limits, the constant menace Of
fires is n of the greatest assets OF
the insurance business. Add to that
he feeling Of each company that q
reputation for lighting claims and
uest!oning things too closely Will
'rive the public to some other more
lenient company; add the fear of an
powerful people: make al
for difficulties of detection;
cap them with this great fact that
hres increase the fund of premiums
collected, and you have the reason.
why we can't look to the insurance
companies for relief from the burd-
of fires"
II the fire insurance companies
will motor at least do not-take
arms against the insurance swind-
ers, then who will? There are but
two classes that are injured by an
insurance fraud, the underwriters
and the insured. AS has been pointed
out above, the advantage that comes
to the insurance companies from ey-
en- incendiary fires possibly out
weighs the loss. Then this leaves the
insured as the only interest to suffer
from such practices. For presumab-
ly at least, the rates that must be
paid for protection against fire, are
determined by the prevalence OF IRE.
Do away with the payment of policies
on property deliberately destroyed,
and it Is obvious that in time there
would be q corresponding reduction
in rates.

MITCHELL ART SOCIAL.

Last Monday evening the Mitchell
Art Club laid aside things OF an in
%tellectual nature and INDUCED in a
whole evening pleasure, when a Hal
party was held at the home
of Mrs. Andrew Ellwein. All, the
members who attended were requir-
ed to come robed in the form OF
ghosts, and when they reached the
house, which was darkened except
for the dim light shed by the jack
o'lanterns, they were greeted by a
witch. who presented them with a
potion, with the instruction to drink
1t to the bitter dregs." The ghosts
went into the parlor and while they
slipped their potion they gave their
experience of how they became
ghosts. all of which was very anus
ing. Each of the ghosts was present.
ed with an autumn leaf on which was
a lighted candle, and this raised the
gloom pervading the rooms some
what. With the lighted candles an
effort was made to guess who was
who in the ghostly robes. For the
latter part of the evening, after the
robes had been laid aside, bridge
whist occupied the time. and. this
proved very enjoyable. The all-cut
prize was awarded to Mrs. w. A.
Heimberger. Mrs. Ellwein served
her guests with some very fine re-
.freshments and she was assisted by
Mrs. c. A. Townsan. The decora-
tons of the evening were made up OF
jackolanterns, and witch dolls were
displayed in many places.
