SAVINGS BANKS NOW INSURE
200.
Policies Amount to $4,000, 900 After
Five Years Trial Of System.

Boston.-In 1907 was effected the
passage Of the law establishing saw
ings bank life insurance, and it was
prophesied then by critics of the pro.
posed system that no savings bank in
Massachusetts would ever open an In.
surance department
In the five years savings bank life
insurance has grown steadily, until
today there are four savings banks
with insurance departments and four
teen other savings banks which are
public agencies.
More than 200 agencies have been
established in factories, shops and
mills, for the benefit OF the employees
and this cooperation of business men
has been most helpful. There are
now more than ZOO polices in force
with insurance to the amount OF nearly
81, 900, 900.
The record Of these five years, II
is claimed, proved the stability, securI
ty and permanency Of savings bank
life insurance, and made clear that rs
slogan, Best Insurance at Lowest
Cost" is no idle boast.

rs IT RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
COlA7

Men who play the willy game OF poll
tics have discovered that the best way
TO distract the attention of the public
from their own shortcomings Is to
make loud-mouthed sensational at
tack upon someone else. AS the cut
ue-hsh eludes its pursuer by clouding
the surrounding water with the con-
tents OF its ink sac, so the political ad
venturer takes advantage of the igno-
rance and prejudices OF the people to
escape from his indefensible position
by muddying the waters OF public
opinion.
A case In point is the recent attack
made upon the religious press for
carrying Coca.Cola advertising. This
attack was made by a politician who
was supposed TO be an expert in chem
istry but who, having brought suit
against the CocaCola Company, was
Inundated by having 10 acknowledge
that he could not qualify as an expert.
The court decided In favor of the Coca
Cola Company as IL was clearly shown
that the only essential difference be-
tween Coca-Cola and coffee or tea Is
that the former contains only about
half as much iffeine as the latter and
that the flavor Is different
The question as TO whether Il Is right
TO advertise Coca-Cola seems 20 resolve
itself therefore into the question as TO
whether IL is right TO advertise coffee.

road, the State Board of Railroad COM
missioners has ordered that company
TO take immediate" steps 10 replace
the existing ball" signal with such
form OF interlocking signal as the
board may approve. The board also
recommends 10 all railroad companies
operating in the Commonwealth that
prior TO July /, 1914. they replace the
ball signals with such other type as
may be approved by the board.
The board finds that the South
Lawrence accident was traceable di-
rectly TO the use of such signals. Ii
says:
Ball signals governing movements
of trains were installed in the early
days OF rGilroading when tracks were
few in number and trains infrequentiy
operated. Since that time the traffic
has increased to such proportions IA

modern type of signal and these ball
signals have been replaced until az

eLAMEs UNIONS FOR NEW HAVEN

c. L. Bardo, Central Manger, Is Scored
by Union Official.

Bridgeport.-What was described as
the growing menace of the unions,
through their power TO enforce work
ing conditions on their employers, be-
came the feature of the interstate
commerce commissions investigation
into the cause of the Stamford wreck
of the Boston express on the New Ha-

launched by G. L. Bardo. general man

condemnation by experts from the

Brake company Of railroad methods
under his personal supervision.
When Mr. Bardo had ended his at.
tack and had expressed a hope that
the wreck at Stamford would teach
the unions to let railroad managers
run the roads, a defender of the unions
arose. This man was Fred S. Evans,
general chairman of the Union of Lo-
comotive Engineers employed on the
New Haven.

Boston.-The result Of the siI
months session of the General Court
is, among other things, $50 new acts
and l3S resolves. OF this number,
ten have gone on the statute books
despite the objections OF his excel
lency and twelve without his sigma
ture.
The gross result is the enactment
of more laws this year than in any
other year in the history of the Gen
eral Court.

nor and the Legislature have fire.
Quently disagreed on the merits of this
or that proposed piece of legislation,
only eight bills have been passed

has sustained him. The vetoed bills
which have become laws in spite of
his objections are as follows:

Brookline; $3.50 day wage for the
employees of the metropolitan park

Two measures have attracted espe,

New York boundary, also giving the
New Haven the authority to con
