From EDWIN MARKHAM

TT Ellen KELLAR' in many
ways the most wonderful
woman of the age, has
just published book, "Out of the
Dark" through the Doubleday
Page Company. In spite of both
deafness and blindness, she has
conquered the knowledge of the
world, and writes like a fervent
prophecies of many of our anx-
ious problems. Here are some
timely words of wisdom for the
myriads of young people who are
just returning to their work in the
schools:
TN college you will be brought
face to face with nearly all the
fundamental questions of life,
and you will learn how many men
have tried to solve them. Hitch
your wagon to happy star, and
you also shall help to solve them.
The world needs your intellect,
your scholarship, but most of all
your hearts-hearts that are low
ing, brave, hopeful, happy.
Does all this dream of high
privilege and noble service seem
far beyond the reach of your
powers of mind? Remember what
Senator Hoar said; Much of the
good work of the world has been
that of dull people who have done
their best
Fears and regretsi have no
place in the vocabulary of youth,
whose spirit sets its white and
shining wings toward the purple
shores of the promised land Be
happy, talk happiness. Happi-
ness calls out responsive gladness
in others. There is enough sad
ness in the world without yours.

family. A wife objects to a hus-
band attending lodge meetings.
Why tell her about it? What she
doesn't know won't hurt her"
Assuredly not. And it's per-
fectly wonderful how many astute
married people, with a proper re-
spect for their own peace and COM
fort, have anticipated Judge Phil
lips decision, and instead of tell
ing their respective husbands and
wives the truth that would raise
a row have told the little lie that
insured the dove of peace still
roosting on the roof pole.

Bv EBERT HUBBARD

Viewing the subjet from every
possible standpoint. the life In
surance policy relieves the en-
barrassment covering a very deli
cate proposition; its giving is also
a graceful, gracious, generous
act, altogether in the line of com
mon sense, sentiment, economies
and sound eugenics.
Further. the plan puts the man
on his good behavior. Not only
must he be able to pass the exam
nation so as to secure the policy,
but he must have the money IA
pay for the first years premium.
Just before marriage a man I,
generous, If he ever is IN his life
The woman who expects her
husband to take out a life insur-
ance policy after they are welded
may find postponement and
"Huerta Manana" snoozing on
the doorstep.
The old-time post-nuptfal
agreement was nearly as bald a
proposition as the suggested
health certificate.
The life insurance policy soft
ems down the angularities Of both.
I would really like to see a Fed
eral law passed covering this
question. If not that, then let
each State pass a law Of its own.
Among the Presents.
That the States have a right to
fix the conditions under which
marriage shall occur is freely ad-
mitted, and no honest or capable
man would object to the insig-
nificant tax involved, especially
in view of the fact that the policy
is worth the money, being issued
by company supervised by gov
eminent
Under these conditions its issu-
ance would be not only a duty,
but a privilege.
You can not very well hand
around a certificate of health at
the supper table for the entire
family to inspect Neither would
it look well on the piano among
the bridal presents.
A life insurance policy, how
ever, is occasionally even now
found among the gewgaws and
jimcracks. No one is ever shock
ed. It's lines are pleasant. and all
that it suggests is beautiful, right,
hygienic and altogether lovely.
Life insurance, like fire insur-
ance, after all, is for the insured.
He is the beneficiary.
Fire insurance is for the man
whose property doesn't burn up,
and a life policy is for the man
who lives. There is no benzoate
of soda in a life insurance policy.
The fact that a man is insured
makes him better citizen, and,
believe better husband and IA
Their. SO there you are.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-10-07

~ EVERAL States in the Union
have adopted laws providing
for a physical examination
of the prospective bridegroom
and a refusal of the marriage Ii
cense to all who fail to pass.
But securing a certificate of
health, however, and presenting
it to the interested parties is a
rather uncanny affair.
Altogether it involves a degree
of publicity that is rather embar-
RAISING for quite a number of
people concerned.
A Bridegroom Policy.
Nature works by indirection.
She gets the thing she wants by
going after something else.
In this matter of eugenics let
us take a lesson from the dame.
My suggestion is that every
man, before the marriage cere-
mony is performed, comply with
one little requirement.
That is, let him present to the
prospective bride an insurance
policy on his life.
The size of the policy he can fix
himself The amount will mir
ror his financial status, not his
love. Let it be for a minimum of,
say, one thousand dollars, with
no limit to the ante on the max
imum.
A life insurance policy implies
the health of the individual, and
all medical examiners will under
stand and appreciate the impor-
lance as well as the import of
"A Bridegroom's Policy"
An insurance policy puts the
whole thing on a gracious, grace
full and generous ground.
An insurance policy is a valua-
bic gift, and when it comes as a
love token it will be especially
priced.
If a woman gives her life into
the keeping Of man, why should
not the man in return give her at
least policy on his life?
Not only is life insurance pol
icy guaranty of health, but it is
also a guaranty Of something
quite as important, and that is
business acumen.
To be able to secure a life in
surance policy is a privilege. Not
every man can get one.
A Health Certificate.
But in the past anybody could
get married, and can yet, who is
able to pay a license fee Of so
cents
As for the clergyman, we can
stand him off.
A life insurance policy is a GER
tificate of character, a certificate
of health, a symbol of economic
suficiency and efficiency-an in
one.
