ENDOWMENT POLICY AID
TO WOMAN'S LONG LIFE
Makes Up Her Mind Not to Die,
and Doesn't, Says
Actuary.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The spinster
lives longer than the married woman, and
the woman who holds an endowment in
surance policy lives longer than the wom-
an who takes out a straight life policy.
These facts, substantiated by statistics
gathered last year by experts in the en-
ployment of forty-three insurance COM
panies. were brought out by Arthur
Hunter. an actuary, in an address at the
monthly meeting of the Life Under
writer's Association of New York
Mr.. Hunter also said the business wom-
an lives longer than the married man,
but he did not attempt to explain why,
except to declare that figures proved his
statement to be a fact Nor did he e1-
plain why the unmarried woman survives
the matron. He did tell, however, why
the woman who takes out an endowment
policy lives longer than the woman who
has to die to win.
The endowment woman just gets up
her spirit and determines to live until the
policy natures" he said. The other
woman signs and says: oh, what's the
use""
Mr. Hunter said there were more fatal
accidents in this country than elsewhere
because of the American I'll take a
chance spirit
THE mortality rate among engineers
and fremen is eight times that Of men in
other callings," he said, land among po-
licemen about 40 per cent higher. With
policemen it is on the increase"

CONSERVATISM EXPECTED
WITH CHANGE IN CABINET
New japanese Ministry Not Likely
to Be More Aggressive on Cali
fornia Land Question.

Although the opposition, which now
comes into power in Japan with the
downfall Of the Yamomoto ministry,
made capital out of the failure of Yomo-
moto's policy of dealing with the Cali
fornia land question. assurance is felt in
Washington official circles that no more
aggressive stand in the negotiations with
the United States will follow the change
of ministry.
The external relations of Japan, it is
confidently held, will remain unaffected
notwithstanding the resignation of the
cabinet as result of the parliamentary
disagreement over the naval budget The
naval scandal has overshadowed the
American dispute. Also custom will pro-
tect external relations against the vicis.
situdes of internal politics. Consequently
it is anticipated by the officials here that
there will be no substantial change in the
tone of the negotiations.
While there was a more or less urgen,
demand by the so-called jingoistic eie-
ments in Japan upon the government fol
the adoption of a more aggressive atti
tude toward the United States, that issue
has been almost completely obscured by
saionji and Kato Friendly.
Either Of the two men named in the
news dispatches as probable heads OF
the new cabinet, Saionji or Kato, are
regarded here as conservative in so far
as the foreign policies of Japan are
concerned. The Marquis Saionji In
particular has twice been premier. AND
in each instance has shown the friend
liest sentiments toward America
though it was in his administration
that the Gala school question became
acute for a time. Baron Kato in his
capacity of minister for foreign af-
fairs also has had to deal with some
phases of the American restrictive leg
islation and has always shown himself
of a conciliatory and friendly DISPOSE
ton.
While the two men differ strongly
in their political opinions, the one
representing the essence of the ole
Japanese clans and the other the pro-
gressive elements in Japan, neither is
regarded here as jingoes or as likely to
yield to popular demands for an aG-
gressive foreign policy
Therefore State Department officials
view the present crisis in Japan with.
out apprehension as to its results upor
the pending negotiations, though it il
admitted that as a concession to the
extreme views of one element it NAV
be found necessary by the new Japa.

Why, the distinguished gentleman from

The Easier Way

Cooperative Way

There is no royal road to bust
ness success-hut some ways are
easier than others.
Cooperative advertising be-
tween merchants and manu-
facturers in the newspapers that

When the manufacturer of a
nationally distributed article
puts his plea for business in the
newspapers Of this town he is

The more business he can send
to the store the better off he is.
Conversely, every time the mer-
chant treats a prospective Gus
toner pleasantly, shows the adj
vertised article. and explains its
merits. he is helping the manu-
facturer as well as himself.
It's Il fair game of push and
pull.
When manufacturer and mer-
chant work together through the
columns of the local newspapers
they are moving to success along

Judge Speer's Ruling.

Judge speer. in approving the referees
selection. declared that referee should
have the discretion to reject the selec-
ton OF a majority Of the creditors. He
said 1t was against the policy of the
bankrupt law for attorneys for a credit
association to corral the claims of
creditors and utilize them SO as to give
absolute control of the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings to the attorneys or the associa-
ton. He found that one of the attorneys
represented the Atlanta adjustment bu-
reau, which was a branch of the National
Association Of Credit Men, consisting Of
some $1,000 wholesalers, jobbers and
manufacturers.
