been cited by both Liberals and
Unionists for presidents. We fail TO

One of the promises of the Democ.

lowering of the cost OF living But

true that under the favorable con
ditions OF the Underwood bill nine
million pounds OF beef is being i'm

SUGGESTIVE INSURANCE FACTS.

According to the mortality statistics
of life insurance companies the
spinster lives longer than the married
woman. the business woman lives
longer than the business. man. and
the woman who takes out an endow-
ment policy lives longer than the
woman who takes out a straight-life
policy. These statements are inter
esting because they are established
facts and not conjectural theories.
They have been gathered by experts
in the employ OF forty-three OF the
leading insurance companies OF the
country.
No explanation is ventured for the
longevity of one class compared with
the other. but IL was revealed why the
woman with an endowment policy
survives longer than the woman with
the straight policy. The demon
strator OF these facts explains that
the endowment woman gets up her
spirit and determines TO live until
woman just signs. "oh. what's the
use?" and shuffles off. II is true that
incentives to live have wonderful
effect on vitality. just as hopelessness
depresses the spirit. Determination
is a strong characteristic OF most
women, which is supported by the
old saw of when a woman will. she
will. you may depend on IT, When
she won't. she won't. and there's the
end on it,

writers Association makes a sugges-
ton to employers that carries with

ADMINISTRATION CONFIDENT

The House OF Representatives yes.
terday passed the rivers and harbors
appropriation bill. and thus cleared
the decks for action on the measure
providing for the repeal OF the free
tolls clause in the Panama canal act.
The first move in this direction was
the presentation OF a rule limiting
the debate to 20 hours. II this Is
concurred In a vote will likely be
reached by Saturday. II the time Is
prolonged no decision will be arrived
at until next week.
The administration has been as.
sured that the repeal measure is sure
TO pass the House by a majority OF
20 to 100. This may be an over-san.
guine view OF the situation, but re.
cent developments as to the stand
Mr.. Underwood. the Democratic floor
leader. would take seem to confirm
the confidence OF the friends of re.
peal. II is understood that Under.
wood had long conference with the
President. and that In view OF the
help given Underwood by the Prest
dent in his contest for the Alabama
senatorship. the Democratic leader
has agreed to take no active part in
opposition to the repeal bill, while his
personal views on the matter remain
unchanged. Without Underwoods
active support any opposition to the
President that may develop will no,
be strong enough to prevail.

CHILDREN AND The movies -


The school children OF Providence.
Rhode Island. were subjected 10 an
interesting test. when more than two
thousand in the upper grades were
asked the question: what kind OF
motion pictures do you like best and
Why" The answers were spontane.
Gus. as they were taken IN school
without giving the children any op.
portunity 10 form then opinions BY
consulting older judgments. therefore
the responses are distinctly their own
views. The replies were classified
showing the following results. Edu.
oational pictures were preferred by
800 OF the pupils. Western or comedy
scenes appealed strongest TO a.:
comedy to 364; drama to 13s. Sixty.
three pupils frankly confessed tina,
they favored crime pictures and 15s
pupils declared they did not attend
picture shows. The 1854 pupils
questioned were in the fifth, sixth
seventh and eighth grades. In the
higher grades the vote ran largely
for educational films. while in the
lower grades the preference mainly
was for cowboy pictures. The latter
class OF pictures. however. had many
devotees In the higher grades.
The explanation given by the pupils
who leaned to educational subjects
were clear and impressive. as such
reasons as the following will show
Because when we study our his
tory we have a clear picture of what
we are talking about" Because YOU
can learn quicker from moving pic

those who favored educational films
we must not forget that a boy is not

and he will stand watching.
The best answer in our judgment
was given by the boy. who in indicat
