SUSPICION OF
LIFE

In spite Of the thorough job of
house cleaning supposed to have
been done some years ago, life in
surance seems still TO be regarded
with some suspicion by the ave
age man. At least this opinion was
expressed at the National Life In
derwriters conventions just held
at Atlantic City. The companies
yer blamed for not undertaking
a vide spread campaign to promote
public confidence.
Confidence or no confidence, it
takes incessant pushing to build up
a life insurance patronage. The
agent must join clubs and societies
to make acquaintance and insure
the members. He must follow up
every marriage and every funeral.
What better wedding present than
an insurance pulley? What better
argument than the death Of an I'm.
insured man? Some of the chief
fathers of life insurance used to
assail strangers on the street and
talk insurance to them.
The life insurance mar may be a
nuisance whom you dodge around a
corner to avoid. Nevertheless the
widows and orphans see him in a
wholly different light.
The great trouble is that getting
insured is gruesome work. 1t pro-
notes lugubrious thought of the
mystery of earth's final partings.
The stethoscope makes your heart
beat a little faster and you get fus-
sy about that little wheeze in your
lung.
But when the family man, for
such sentiment neglects this OBJ
vious duty toward his dependent
loved ones he plays an unmanly
part. 1t would be poor compensa-
tiou to your family in their poverty
TO know that loss of. home comforts
was due to the tactlessness of the
agent or even to the failure Of the
company to return liberal settle
ments.
The companies of course need to.
clean up all crooked ways if such
still exist. But there is a natural
though logical reluctance to put
money into an investment in which
the investor can only win by losing
his life. The companies need to
drill the force of their good argu-
ments into the public mind by per-
sistent advertising which will win
attention where the agent is driven
out by a curt and irritated mega
tive.

ON AN ISLE OF BIRDS
Commodore Salisbury Tells of an
Expedition to LaySan.
Retired Naval Officer With Party Of
Scientists Spent Eighty Days
Gathering Data on a Mid
Pacific Island

Kansas City, Mo-Straight from
the exploration of an uninhabited isle
in the Pacific ocean, Commodore
/ George r. Salisbury of the United
States navy. retired has arrived at
the home of his brother. Mark Sails
bury, two and One-half miles northeast
OF independence. The contrast is
great between life in this old mansion
hidden among gigantic pines in a quiet
Jackson county farm and life on the
island of Laysan. where no man lives.
and where myriaGs of water fowl
darken the air or hide in the low-lying
sandy slopes, barely rising above the
ocean level
Commodore Salisbury was busy
writing out a report of his voyage to
the government. but not too busy TO
tell a representative Of the Kansas
City Star Of some of the strange
sights on the island
He was in charge of an expedi-
ton sent out by the department Of
agriculture which has. charge Of the
bird reservation of United States ter
ritory. With him were three natura-
lists. The party left San Francisco
December >. 1912. in the United States
revenue cutter Thetis. Their destina-
ton was the Island of Laysan, eight
hundred miles northwest of Honolulu.
Laysan is peculiarly rich in bird
life. Eighty days were spent there
They returned to Honolulu March %.
and few days later took passage on
the United States transport Sherman
for San Francisco. They reached
that city April II. There specimens
taken on the voyage were shipped to
Washington. After a few days spent
in the coast city. Commodore Sails
bury started back to Independence.
arriving there last Sunday
A map of the Island of Laysan made
during their stay shows it to be of pc
culiar formation. 1t is about two and
one-half miles long and one mile wide.

the nearest neighbor. The wonder
full part Of his story ia that he travels
at will. always going directly to the
place at which he desires to visit. He
never gets confused in roads by TAX
ing the wrong one.
He lives in a small cabin through
out the year without assistance. He
builds all his own fires and prepares
his meals. He can cut his meat or
make bread as good as most persons
who have the use of their eyes.
The only way in which can &C
count for his strange case Is that the
wonderful instinct. which every In
dian has. has become so acute in him
during the 40 years OF his blindness
that it has taken the place of his
eyes.
Among the Calispels there is a
great deal of blindness and bad eyes.
due to the smoke from their tepee
fires. II has proved a great detriment
to their more rapid advance in civil
cation. The old head chief. Masalah,

LAST RELICS OF THE MAINE
Six Thousand Pounds of Brass and
Bronze Fittings Stripped From
Vessel Cast in Tablets.

New York.-Six thousand pounds of
relics from the U. S. S. Maine, which
were taken from the battleship before
she was towed out TO sea from Ha-
vana and given her final resting place,
have arrived at the John Williams
bronze foundry, to be cast into a fit
ting and permanent memorial.
This disposition of the brass. and
bronze fittings of the battleship which
for twelve years had lain beneath the
sea is in accordance with an act of
congress.
The parts of the wreck that were
thought to be suitable for the purpose
we're first sent to Washington, where
they were melted together, purified
and cast into thirty-pound ingots 1t is
in this form that all that is left of
the Maine has Just arrived in New
York.
One thousand tablets, designed by
Charles Keck Of this city. are being
cast by the Williams foundry, and will
be delivered upon request to patriotic
societies all over the country. Two
hundred applications have already
been received at the Office Of the as
sistant secretary of the navy.
The tablets will have a natural
bronze finish; they will weigh twelve
and half pounds and measure 13 by ls
inches.

hundred and sixty acres is a lagoon.
This gives the island the appearance
OF an elongated doughnut. At no
place does the island rise more than
twenty-five feet above ocean level
The place swarms with birds. Il
learned more about birds on this trip
than | had ever dreamed of before"
Commodore Salisbury said yesterday
afternoon. I'VE brought home with us
175 rare specimens. These will be
mounted and placed in the govern
ment museums.
I'VE found two varieties that are
found nowhere else One is the Lay
san rail. 1t is about the size of a
quail and has small wings. but they do
1t little good, for 1t cannot fly. We
started home with eighty living speci-
mems Of the rail, but the return trip
was so cold that all except FIVE died.
The survivors were left at the Golden
Gate park in San Francisco. The
other bird peculiar to the island is
the Laysan teal, fowl smaller than
the mallard duck, but resembling it in
general appearance. Incidentally. we
found pair of mallard ducks that had
come over from the mainland of Cali
fornia, thousands of miles away

and twenty sovereigns have had 10
follow him. All that is known now is
that there will be a ''non-recurrinG
contribution" from the capital of real
and personal property; and that il
will probably amount to one per cent.
This the sovereigns must pay. There
may also be new imperial income
tax, and this the sovereigns may have
to pay also.
A Dresden official newspaper criti-
cises the scheme, and this means that
King Friedrich August does not like

Non-military appropriations and pen
sion appropriations have increased
more rapidly than the military bills.
Consequently in the table above the
percentage accredited to the United
States is much too high, as the figures
will show
How these war expenditures, or
rather expenditures to prevent war. as
they are termed by those responsible
for them, have mounted to such ire
mendous figures, is shown by the
table, giving the cost of the worlds
armies and navies for every ten years
in the last generation. The totals for
each nation mount into the billions
since 1881.
Though the United States holds
fourth place, according TO these fig
ures, in amount of expenditures for
war preparations, it is really far be-
hind if judged by results. The United
States government pays higher for
preparation for war than any other
nation in the world. 1t pays its sol
diers and sailors higher wages; their
food is better, and costs much more
than that of foreign soldiers and blue
Jackets; their clothing is more ex
pensive; the American government
must pay much higher prices for bat.
tleships, guns and all munitions and
materials of war. Consequently, with
one of the biggest military bills to
foot, the United States really has less
to show than that of any country per
dollar expended.
The graphic charts above show the
military preparedness of nine coun
tries: Mexico. United States, Great
Britain, Japan, Italy, Austria, France
Germany and Russia AS is readily
seen, despite the millions it spends or
the army, the United States is a dwarf
among military nations.
