CHICAGO, Jan. 24.-Mrs. Elvira j..
Park, the wealthy widow of George
H. Park, pioneer lumber merchant of
Austin, is the first Chicago woman
director of a bank. She was elected
a member of the board of the Austin
National Bank at the annual meeting
Of the directorate yesterday.
Mrs Park has been a depositor of
the bank for many years and she
holds a large block of stock in the
institution. She replaces E. G. Snod-
grass, whose withdrawal from the
directorate was announced at the
meeting. Three men were elected to
fill vacancies and six of the directors
were reelected.
Mrs. Parks is in the early sixties
and has no children. She is a suffra-
gette and a close student of politics.
Since the death of her husband ten
years ago she has managed his large
estate single-handed and it is this
qualification, more than anything
else, she believes, that caused her to
be chosen a director of the bank
Although l have studied the new
currency bill carefully and am famil-
lar with the income tax law, 1 have
never given the inside details of ac-
tual banking business a great deal of
thought" Mrs. Park said when seen
at her home last night. II am afraid
that at the present moment l am a
rather poor banker, as l have only
general idea of the business.
why ! was chosen I do not know,
unless it was because of my business
experience. I always aided my hus
band and after his death took the
management of his affairs into my
own hands.
1T is true that l have acquired a
large amount of stock in the bank
but there are other women who own
much more stock and are much bet
ter qualified to serve on the board
of directors than l. My appointment
is a great surprise to me-"
Il consider the appointment OF
Mrs. Park one of the best moves the
bank has made in a long time" said
President F. E. Pray. She is in
Clined to greatly underestimate her
ability. / have dealt with her for
years. She possesses one of the
keenest business minds it has been

Huge profits were also made in

be granted the right to increase

authority places the total mileage Of

Central and South America, $4,000;
Africa, $4,000; Australia, $4,000.

Initial Payment Of $3.50, 900,
Postmaster Genera Says, Could
Be Cared For by Surplus From
Parcel Post-Foresees Profits.

That sentiment in the committee
was adverse to the presentation OF
Mr. Burleson's data was made clear,
say the Postma ster Generals friends,
when 1t was announced that no &C
ton would be taken by the committee
concerning the postalization OF tele-
graph and telephone companies for
more than a year"
For one thing, the data explodcs
the idea, prevalent in Congress, that
the proposition is so gigantic that It
cannot be attempted in this country.
1t Is understood that among other
things the suggestion is made that
Government bonds be exchanged Cor
the stock now in the possession Of the
companies.
Ten Months on Research.
This statistical information said
high postoffice official yesterday, rs
Of the greatest importance to Con-
gress.
1T is known to me that Postma ster
General Burleson has his corps of
workers engaged with it for ten
months in the hope that Congress
would see fit to call upon him for it.
And It has been a bitter disappoint
ment to all of those who are inter
ested in this project that Congress
has ignored this valuable acquisition
to the information in its possession"
Congressman favoring the immedi-
ate acquisition Of telephone and tele-
graph lines declare that If this infor-
nation can be brought to light they
will use it in Congressional fights
next year, and will commit Demo-
Gratis to the proposition.

Committee declined to-day to make

Not over 10 pep cent of policy

nitude of this loss of protection to

Further, many of the policies upon

lapse as a direct result of the loans.

The report adds:
Reserves have increased nearly six

more than $50 times. The percent

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The
American insurance policyholder
borrowed over $5S7 100000 up to
1912 on his policies.
OF these loans 90 per cent are
never repaid. The benefciaries
of those who insure were, there
fore, deprived of $503, 100000 in
surance originally taken out for
their protection.
Loans on policies have grown
to over half a billion dollars
from $19,000,000 loaned in 1888.
Policyholders in the Pacific
Coast States are generally the
greatest borrowers.
The above facts are contained in a
report made public yesterday by Rob-
ert Lynn Cox, general counsel of the
Association of Life Insurance Presi-
dents.
At the recent seventh annual con-
vention of the Association Of Life In
surance Presidents it was pointed out
that these mortgages on life insur-
ance policies had increased from 1-S
per cent of the reserves in 1888 to
1903 per cent in 1912, with Is per
cent probably at the end Of 1913. To-
tai reserves in 1912 were about three
and one-half billion dollars
These figures and percentages are
based on the United States business
Of American companies holding SO per

and premium notes to reserves in 1911

New G.. F. & A. Road
Is Exporting Cotton

PENSALOCA, Jan. 24.-The first
cargo of cotton to be handled over
the new G. f. & A. r. r. line, now
doing a lively business here, will be
that to be exported on the British
steamship Messiah. which has been
chartered for February loading, and
which is due here February 1.
The fact that this road is bringing
cotton here for export is an indica-
ton that the foreign exports of the
staple will receive quite an impetus
during the next season, when the new
outlet will have the big terminals
ready for handling the business.

testimonial OF John ID. Rockefeller's
devious wit was demonstrated o-day
when several prominent Cleveland
business men told a story at the ex-

eral Cleveland men were playing golf
with Mr.. Rockefeller at his Forest
Hills links day or two ago. One of
the players asked Mr. Rockefeller how
good a certain stock was.
AS good as eggs replied Mr..
Rockefeller.
yes, but there are good eggs and
bad eggs" said the man.
And likewise, my friend, there are
good stocks and bad stocks" replied
the oil magnate.
Mr. Rockefeller resumed his game
and the inquirer was as much in the
dark as ever.
