NEW MOURNING SUGGESTED
FOR BRlTAIN'S HERO-OEAO
London Times Advocates Purple
Band Instead of Conventional Black.

LONDON, Sept. p.
There is a strong movement on foot TO
dispense with the orthodox form OF
mourning in the event OF casualties oC-
says the Times \ number of sugges-
tipns have been put forward designed TO
effect economies, although at the same
time in no way minimizing the respect for
the gallant dead. Recently we published
letter on this topic from Mrs Edward
l.yttleton, which, I'm view OF the interest
ii has aroused, we reprint In fun:
If the country should decide to dis
pense with such mourning, the economic
effect will be to save a disturbance Of
cash expenditure. Mourning will stiu Is
bought for those who die natural deaths,
but we should have a large additional ana
artificial expenditure, temporarily IN
Hated by the heavy death roll OF the
next few weeks, and the money so saved
will be available for the support of or
dnary trade. This independent of tba
weightier reasons for changing our usual
custom.
w hat | am advocating Is sometbirs,
that would be an appeal 10 an hearts for
sympathy In bereavement and II would
mean practically no expenditure for. IN
simple narrow band Of purple cloth 10 he
Worn on the left arm By every man
woman or child who had lost a relation
In the war would cost practically nothing
and the badge would be the same for ali
classes" '
In few days we shall be receiving the
news OF great loss Of life on the Continent
and az sea ones first thought is a strong
conviction that for lives lost in such a
noble cause the wearing Of conventional
mourning would be unsuitable.

LIFE INSURANCE
COURSES IN HIGHER
SCHOOLS Is URGED
U. of P. Expert Tells Ma
tional Underwriters Asso-
citation of Need for Sys-
tematic Educational Work
in Senior Year.

Establishment of life insurance courses
in the schools. colleges and universities
of the country is advocated by DR.. S. s.
Huebner, professor of insurance and COM
merce in the Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania. DR.. Huebner
is now engaged in framing a life insur-
ance text book for the National Associa-
ton of Life Underwriters, and 1t is to
the members of this influential insurance
organization that he appeals to have life
insurance education made feature of
the curriculum of the higher schools
Life insurance, so vitality affecting
nearly every man and woman in the COM
munity and so intimately related to the
welfare of the Masses" DR.. Huebner
says, addressing members of the asso-
ciation Should find some place in the
curriculum of our high schools preferably
in the senior year.
Life insurance education in colleges
and universities, however should also be
emphasized by all means since, to an
increasing extent, college graduates be-
come leaders in the community and in
themselves are educational forces in their
respective localities"
TO present the subject adequately and
in accordance with the needs of different
classes of students, DR.. Huebner sug-
gests the following program, although he
says he appreciates that it's full adoption
must be limited to the largest institu-
tions and must necessarily depend upon
the number of candidates Offering them
selves for the respective courses:
The establishment of special courses
simultaneously be given in the depart
ment of mathematics.
THE establishment of n separate course
in life insurance adapted to the needs of
those who contend to become solicitors
and otherwise become connected with
various departments of the business. The
instruction in this course should be teach
nical in character and cover the field
thoroughly.
The establishment of general course
adapted to meet the needs of those stu
dents who desire only a general knowledge
of insurance and who take the subject
as part of general business course.

at Algonquin Park Station, on the line
OF the Grand Trunk Railway Those
specimens resembled both the salmon and
the speckled trout so much that the su-
perintendent of the park sent one OF the
specimens TO Professor Prince, of the
Fisheries Department, ottawa, who is
probably the best authority on fish
culture in America. Professor Princes
report on this specimen is a most inter-

lows:

been carefully examined and il really an
pears to be hybrid, namely. the brook
trout and the gray trout Cor lake trout.

vomer, as well as the peculiar color and
the shape Of the tan, all indicate a COM

well known, are now separated further

GROWING WHEAT
DAMAGED BY FLY
Losses in Parts of Missouri and
Illinois Are Said to be Heavy.
Old World Markets are
Higher.
nv JOSEPH r PRJTCHARD.

CHICAGO, May 16.-lThere were
fewer reports of Hessian fly in the
wheat fields of MiSSour+ and Illinois,
but there were some adviceS of mark
ed losses to the growing plant-at
least two messages claiming that 80
TO IS per cent would hardly cover the
Observation-Disclosures were from cen
tral Missouri In the face of these
advices the farmers of the southwest,
as we'll as those of the northwest,
seemed to be attracted by the advances
in this grain, as they were freer sell
ers.
The Modern Miller will say Satur-
day that dry weather and HeSsian fly
in south central Illinois and central
Missouri have caused the wheat crop
in those districts TO go backward;
that in some sections the loss is ma
terial; that in southern Illinois some
fields are spotted and in Missouri sim
lar conditions exist with damage re-
ports from the central districts. but
favorable advices from southwestern
Missouri. The area so far affected by
fly damage is small. In other princi-
pal sections OF the winter wheat belt
the outlook indicates a large yield
Hannibal. Mo. reports unfaVorab e
conditions from fly in that section,
some damage claims being as large as
80 per cent.
There was little or no enthusiasm
in the southwestern markets the net
al anCe being fractional although the
sample wheat was quoted higher.
The cash trade at Chicago was quite
small. only $4,000 bushels reported as
changing hands. In addition TO this
there were only few lots OF Mani
