COOPERATIVE INSURANCE..

! The "Foctory Mutuals" are merely
associations of mill owners who insure
| one another, says the Worlds Work
for October. They are not run for pro-
fit. They are only to insure the mills
and factories of their members, but in
| doing that they have transformed
| buildings that at one time were con-
! sidered the worst fire risks into the
! safest kind of buildings in America, so
| far as fire is concerned They have
proved again the old adage that an
ounce of prevention is worth pound
| of cure.
There are 10 Mutuals in all, but for
convenience they have formed the AS
sociated Mutual Fire Insurance COM
panies, with headquarters in Boston
They make no attempt to secure bust
ness, and any mill owner is eligible for
membership if he complies with their
strict rules of fire prevention. They
charge approximately the same premi-
ums that other insurance companies
do. But after they have paid the cost
of doing business, of inspection. and
the fire loss, they return what is left
to their members in proportion to the
premiums paid. This rebate now
amounts to more than so per cent of
the premium
When the Mutuals were formed, the
insurance rate on factories was "a dol
lar a hundred" The mill owner with
a 100000 property had TO pay $1,000
year for fire insurance. By taking
few simple precautions the Mutuals
were able at once to reduce the rate
to 80 cents hundred, and, now that
they have made a science of fire pre-
vention. they have a rate of only four
and one-half cents. That means that
the insurance on a 100000 building is
$45 year. The insurers premium on
its face is far more than this, but the
rebate brings the net payment down
to this insignificant sum.
OF course, the reason for this is that
the mills insured. and therefore inspect
ed by the Factory Mutuals very sell
dom have fires. While almost all other
kinds of buildings are burning up faster
than ever before. the mills and foun-
dries insured in the Factory Mutuals
are having only one fire where they
formerly had from 10 to 80
The records of the transition period
when automatic sprinklers were being
installed 4 mills furnish a comparison
which proves their value. In the ten
years between 1877 and 1887, mills with
out sprinklers insured in one company
had $50 fires with a loss of So. 707 0OO or
$500 to the fire. In the same period
there were 206 fires in mills Quilted
with automatic sprinklers with total
loss of 1922. 4S0, or $1,OSO to the fire. Even
at that early date the automatic sprink-
Ter reduced the fire loss to one-seventh.
1t is on account of their tireless in
specuons that the Factory Mutuals
have been so successful. There were
10 of them in 1880, insuring $500, 900 900
worth of property commonly consider
ed extra hazardous. There are still 10
and they are now insuring considerably
more than billion dollars worth of
the same kind of property. They are
all much stronger than they ever were

THE HoMECRAFT COURSE.

| In the homecraft course just insti-
tuted in the Wadleigh high school,
| New York city, the attempt to meet
practical demands in girls education
| is seen at it's best, according to Off
| Gals of the United States bureau OF
| education. The homecraft course Is
\ for girls whose interest is in up-to-
| date home-making rather than in
advanced literary or scientific study
! The work is taken chiefly by students
who do not intend to go to college,
but who wish to make the best use
\ of their time while in high school;
and it is particularly recommended
for those who expect to stay in school
only two years or less.
The course is both practical and
cultural 1t answers the everyday
needs of girls who mean to be real
homek eepers and it affords abundant
opportunity for studies that are for
enjoyment as we'll as for work Do
nestle science and domestic art. with
household arithmetic, study of voca-
lions, "clothing-its care and remod-
cling" are prominent subjects the
first year. Drawing, music, biology,
English and physical training are re-
quired subjects. with current history,
guages among the electives. Latin
and advanced mathematics are con-
spicuous by their absence.
In the second year hygiene and SAN
itation are added to the requirements,
and other studies may be chosen from
a list which includes millinery, house
hold chemistry, European and Ameri-
can history history of women's work,
arts and crafts, and modern Ian
guages.
Household management, a required
study, is a feature of the third year OF
the course. Applied design and ap-
piled physics are among the subjects
that may be selected by the students.
In the fourth year the girls delve
little deeper into the philosophy OF
homecraft by means of a required
course on social efficiency. They may
also regale themselves with number
of more advanced studies. such as:
Fundamentals of legal procedure;
physiology, bacteriology, and SANTA
ton: household design and decora-
ton.
Throughout the course the empha-
sis is on applied, rather than theore-
teal knowledge; and the work is so
arranged that regardless of whether
a girl completes the four-year course |
or leaves before she finishes she has |
acquired a fund of workable ideas OF |
direct value to her in the Immediate |
problems of her life. At the same |
time the course is not narrowing. |
Girls who take it may, if they desire, |
elect some of the more usual studies |
from the regular high school courses |
they are prepared to |
meet the admission requirements OF
the Columbia university school of /
household arts and similar higher in |
situations for young women.

THE WHITE SLAVE CASE
1t Has Been Postponed Until Next
Thursday.

Anna Minter, the chief witness for
the state in its case against w. j. Da-
Wis accused of violating the white
slave law in an establishment at 500
East Fifth street, was unable to at
tend court this morning. The case was
continued until Thursday, when it will
be heard before Judge George H.
Whitcomb. Sheriff l.. L. Kiene will
go to Hutchinson and bring the girl to
Topeka Since she is in the state, her
testimony at the preliminary hearing
cannot be used as evidence in the dis
trict court.
The case is one of the first viola
lions of the white slave law in the
state, the first in the county. 1t caused
considerable sensation last spring.
Witnesses for the state, in addition to
Anna Minter, are: Elizabeth Barr,
Mrs. H. S. Abbott. Josiah Ross. Detec-
tive c. c. Lytle and aubrey Green.
