HOME INSURANCE COMP ANIES
That Have Shown How Prof.
liable Business Was

The Mutual Fire Insurance Co., Of
the District of Columbia, has refunded
to its policyholders $114 for every 81
paid into it by the policyholders dur
ing the past ffty-seven years. In fact,
the interest on premiums has more
than paid its losses and operating ex-
penses.
The Southern Underwriters, of
Greensboro. n. c., has created a sur
plus of $1O4,167, and paid annual divi-
dends of per cent, and insure at
about half the rates of old line COM
panies.
The Fall River (Mass) Mutual has
never made an assessment, and during
the past five years has refunded to its
policyholders an average Of SO 10
cents on every 81 paid them for in
surance, and during the year, 1911,
they refunded IS cents. Thus, where
your insurance is $1,000, they refunded
at the end of the year $3.50.
The Southern Mutual Insurance Co.,
of Athens, Ga, with policies in. force
of $38,254 900, had a loss of $4,000 at
Columbus, Ga, and for that reason
they make apologies in their annual
statement for not declaring large"
dividend, which was So per cent, while
they pay agents also Is per cent. They
have a surplus on hand for policy
holders of $1,1O2,OOO.
The Southern Stock Insurance Co.,
Of Greensboro, N. c., has capital of
100000, which only cost the original
! investors $30,000 the company having
earned and declared stock dividends
Of the balance $4,000 since 1895 AMI
paid annual cash dividends of 6 per
cent.
The Town Mutual Dwelling House
Association, of Des Moines, Iowa, has
$43,300,O0O at risk, and it writes poll
cies at the following rates: $1.30 per
$1,000 per annum, or it will write a
fve-year policy for $1,000 on a dwell
ling for $6.51 for the five years. Its
losses last year were $22,S4O. Thus it
will be seen that the fire losses cost
the company just 1-2O of l per cent. OF
the insurance in force
! The Augusta Fire Insurance Com
pany, of Augusta, Ga, has created a
, surplus from January, 1910, when it
was organized, to December 81, 1911
of $239, 15704. The stockholders paid
into this company in cash when it was
organized $124,300, This shows a profit
of $4,000, and besides it has paid two
dividends of per cent.
The Lumber Mutual pays annual
dividends of 40 per cent
The Hardware Mutual pays annual
dividends of so per cent.
The old line companies give it all
away. The following are figures from
the first ten companies shown in the
fire insurance pocket index, to which
is added agents commission: Cost of
doing BUSINESSES IL per cent, 58.4
per cent, 65.8 per cent, 63.8 per cent,
500 per cent, 65,6 per cent, SAL per

The General Motors Company of
Deeroit, has recently placed all it's in

BOY SCOUTING
NOT SOLDERING
BADEN POWELL SAYS THE MOVE
MENT WHICH HE HEADS
is misunderstood
BY SOME.

Detroit. Mich. Feb. Lieut.. Gen.
Sir Robert Baden Powell. known
throughout the British Empire as
"B-P" and founder OF IN Boy Scout
movement. is in Detroit TO inspect the
Boy Scouts OF Detroit and the adjacent
territory and deliver two lectures. one
10 the Boy Scouts. in the Light Infan-
try aImory. and the other to the public
in the Light Guard armory.
Gen. Baden Powell refused to talk
of anything except tho Boy Scout
movement, but he was willing 10 talk
with enthusiasm on the work he has
been doing for the boys of the world.
Il find that the Boy Scout move
ment has been considerably misunder-
stood in some quarters in this coun-
try" he said. scouting has been con-
fused with soldering while they are
two entirely different things. Scout
ing--bOth peace scouting and war
scouting-builds character but / ana
not so sure about soldering. There
is too much discipline in the latter To
allow for development. The sole aim
Of the Boy Scout movement is TO
train boys To- be better citizens. or
rather give them the opportunities Of
training themselves. In England the
boys are taught all the useful trades,
ent crafts I'm which a Boy Scout can
win a medal for proficiency. We make
no attempt to interfere with politics
Or religion or any other matter of the
sort. 1t is absurd To talk of the or
ganization being used to quell strikes
and riots and that sort of thing. They
are none of our affairs.
The basis of the scout organiza-
tion Is the honor system. The only
rules that are recognized are the rules
which the boy promises upon honor to
obey. and when scout is triel by his
fellows, he is tried not for the offense
he may have committed bu' for break
ing his word of honor. And the idea
appeals to surprising degree TO even
the slummiest of boys.
The Boy Scout movement in Amer
lea seems to be in its infancy. The

evident supervision from the officers.

Gen. Baden Powell reviewed the Boy
Scouts in Washington last week. COM
ing directly from Washington to De-
troit. His Observations on the Ameri-
can Boy Scouts are based chiefly on
what he saw there.
Il have not seen enough of the
American boy yet to be able to COM

the scout-master first before l can
have anything To say.

Gen. Baden-Powell is typically Eng

through which he has gone.
