/ pleasant surroundings, her hours are
regular, and then there is enough art in
her work to keep her in the right frame
of mind" is DR.. Spratling's explanation
Of this conclusion.
Chorus Girl Bad Risk.
Life can not be long if it is sordid
in thought or surroundings, and the
art in the milliner's work keeps her in
terest going, but it isn't enough to give
her temperament, which usually means
nerves and a desire for late hours and
high living
Il neglected to mention two other
occupations in which the women rank
as exceedingly poor risks, and they ara
the trained nurse and the chorus girl.
The chorus girl, Of course, lives to ex-
cess; she eats too much lobster and
drinks too much wine and keeps worse
hours than the woman in high society,
and then doesn't sleep as much.
"The occupation OF trained nurse is
one Of the most dangerous there is fo-
a woman, on account of the long hours,
the mental worry, the unhealthful sur
roundings and the hard physical work.
Women of Middle Glasses Good.
Psychological and physical ques-
tons enter into the discussion Of what
is the best risk in insurance. The
woman who is the head of family in
the middle classes usually feels certain
that her children will have enough to
eat and that her husbands salary is
paying the rent and leaving a little to
be put aside for rainy dy. She may
have to do the house work and cooking,
but she hasn't enough money to allow
her to do society and as a result her
life is heightened.
Her amusements are simple and not
too many. and the loving care Of her
children and simple joys with them
keep her thoughts fresh and pure After
Ave years Of married life this sort of a
woman is regarded as a very good risk.
I'm the lower classes where the
struggle for life is constantly before
her mind and where often her food is
insufficient and she doesn't get the
medical attention she ought to have.
the married woman Is very poor risk
and we hesitate to take her; in fact.
very few of this class apply for insur-
ance."

The married woman in society is
one Of the worst risks in life Insurance
She eats too much, drinks too much
keeps too late hours and makes her
life a burden by social worries. She is
a worse risk than the department store
girl who stands on her feet all day
and these saleswomen usually either
marry or die young"
DR. f. J. Spratling. head Of the med
ical department of the Empire Life In
surance Company, made this statement
today. DR. Spratling has just returned
from the American life insurance con-
ventiOn In Chicago. where he delivered
an address on Women as Insurance
Risks"
among housewives the orthodox
Jewish woman in middle age IS the
best. She is inherently and religiousIy
clean; she takes her religion naturally
and doesn't worry over It. The middle
class housewife among the Christians,
while not so good a risk as among the
Jewish women, is fair and ranks with
the better class Of working girl"
Wary of Policies For Husbands.
While not all OF the confreres agreed
with me- says DR.. Spratling, my con-
clusion is that a woman is a very good
moral risk, especially when she insures
her life for her minor children
do you know that life insurance
companies go very slow in insuring a
woman when the application is taken
out with her husband as the benefi-
ciary? II may be a startling thing, but
numbers Of men will insure their wives
when they see them begin to get in bad
health. So when the application of the
woman states that the policy is to be
made out in favor of her husband we
make a very careful examination be-
fore we accept her"
In discussing the various risks among
women, the conclusion was reached
that the mlliner is the best risk among
women applicants and the rich married
woman, especially during the first FIVE
years of her married life, the very
poorest except for factory hands. house
servants and the poverty stricken house
wives of the large cities.

by the industrial parade the afternoon and the civic

demonstrations reflect great credit upon city and
the who had them in charge Only one serious
mistake was made That that in the in

music which should not be permitted to mar
future demonstrations of that sort The parade in
itself was revelation Of the large business enter
of home pride which peryades it, The displays made
by the business Of community were handsome
and many Of the floats were exceedingly artistic in
their conception and construction The military end
of that parade also added greatly to its Impressive
ness and the pleasure Of the people.
The parade Of the fraternal and civic organizations
concededly was one of the best held in Will
mneton and all the organizations in line deserve
credit for the splendid showing made. It parade
of such fine appearance length that it would have
done credit to a much larger community. In that pa
rade there was dearth Of music, and that served

SMYRNA-CLAYTON BOULEYARD

MHRNA-CLAXT0N BOULEVARD
II is a great pity that an appropri-
alton could not have been set aside
sufficient for the President of the
Levy Court, James 7. Truax, to make
a complete job of the Smyrna-Clayton
boulevard. The road could have been
vastly improved by making it several
feet wider and joining It up flush to
town limits of both Smyrna and
Clayton. But then we must be satis-
fed with small favors. We have
been years getting even this consider
alton, and when il is figured that
there are other roads, bridge and cul-
verts in the District besides the Smyr-
na-Clayton road. that have to have at
tention, we might pride ourselves on
what improvement we are getting
Mr. Truax has done the, very best he
could and residents of Smyrna and
Clayton commend him for it. When
completed II may not be the best
stone road in the country, but to the
two towns it will be vastly better than
the makeshift OF road that has exist
ed there for years.
