UNIONS HIT THE HALF CENT
Labor Organizations Say Proposed
New Piece Would Operate Against
the Wage Garner.

Boston, Mass, May 2S.-Three of
the largest union labor organizations
in this city have passed resolutions
protesting against the introduction in
to the currency of the United States
of half cent piece. The resolutions
set forth that the lowering Of the
coinage unit tends to operate against
the wage Garner and makes a sub
stahtial increase Of wages harder to
obtain. The point is also made that
the introduction of half cent piece
would reduce greatly II not wipe out
the earnings of men such as news
dealers and newsboys. who deal in a
commodity where the price is usually
fixed at the smallest unit.

A Big YEAR FOR INSURANCE
AUDITOR BLEAkLY'S REPORT
SHOWS LARGE INCREASE.
Companies Authorized to do Business
In Iowa, Wrote More Than
$38,0ooo0o.oo.

Des Moines, May 2S.-Special: The
year 1911 was an unprecedented one
in the annals of insurance business
in Iowa, concerning the enormous
amount of business written and the
number and value of claims settled,
so the annual report of the insurance
department of the state auditor
office shows.
The report of John L. Bleakly, state
auditor, covers all of the insurance
business of the state other than life
insurance.
The fire companies authorized to
operate in Iowa wrote more than $685.
100000 during the twelve months.
This exceeds by millions of dollars the
business of any previous year.
An idea of the growth of the bust
ness of the insurance department of
the state Is to be had by comparing
the receipts of the office over a period
of years. In 1902 the fees amounted
to $4,000. In 1910 the fees totaled
500, 500, and in 1911, $71,S00.
The per cent of losses paid to pre-
miums received was 52.2.
Some idea of the enormous fire
waste constantly going on in this
country may be had from the state
ment in the report that during the
year 1911 the fire and casualty com
panies operating in Iowa paid $780,.
100000 in losses sustained by them in
the different states. For the protec-
ton guaranteed by the companies the
people in return paid in premiums
over $250,000,O00. ......

From its earliest history Arlington
has been especially noted for the enOr

The annual exercises held in Airing
ton on Memorial day are always the
most impressive in the country be-
cause Of the number of army and navy
officers in attendance. Thousands Of
pepOle come to Washington each year
to attend these services, and the most
distinguished orators of the nation de-
liver addresses. The visitors are esti-
mated as reaching fully 200, 900 for
the past five Memorial day services.
The decorations of some of the graves
are most elaborate, while the grave of
every soldier buried in the great GEM
etery receives some mark of atten-
ton upon that day.
These exercises are always held in
the Amphitheater, a beautiful open
structure, composed chiefly of white
pillars, situated upon an elevated sec
ton OF SrOund. In this the officers
and those participating in the services
are seated, while the crowds in at
tendance are grouped around the
front and sides.

a SNOB is a person who believes
~ he Is better than other people,
but is afraid the world viii not
suspect it unless he keeps advertising
the fact.
An aristocrat knows he Is better
than other people and presumes they
have good taste enough to know it too.
This enables him to make the world
happier by mingling with it without
fear of sOiGng( his standing. An aristo-
crat is of no more real use. as an arts
tOcrat, than a French poodle, but he is
not disagreeable and is often an orna-
ment.
The aristocrat is the deity of the
snOb. A snOb Is a man who has either
been noticed by an aristocrat or is try
ing to be. This cOmpels him to con-
centrate all his attention, courtesy and
consideration on the aristOcrat, and
leaves him none for humble folks, who
have supper instead of dinner in the
evening.
We refer to snobs as che" exclusively
out of consideration to wOmenkind.
1t is easy to tell a snob, because of
your desire to hit him on his beautifully
msrcelled nose, sa soon as you talk
with him. By nature, he Is so much
like common folks that If he ever got
mixed up with them no one could find
him again. So it is necessary for him
to distinguish himself, which he usually
does by a lack of good manners Meet
ing a snOb is like meeting cold cod
fish in a fog. Talking with him Is like
holding conversation with stern and
distant dress shirt bosom.
