At the recent annual meeting Of tho
Association of Life Insurance Prcsi-
dents, in session at the Hotel Aston,
Manhattan. Herbert c. Cox. OF Toronto.
In an address on THE Increasing Need
of Life Insurance for Women said, in
part:
That the occasion of insurance for
women is great and urgent and largely
unsatisfied Is apparent, and we must
perforce acknowledge that It's need has
far outgrown the machinery of the COM
panies for supplying II, the personal
solicitation which has boon the great
factor In the increase of insurance
among men being almost entirely neg
lected. Probably less than por cent of
insurance risks are upon the lives of
women. This surely cannot he con-
sidered a fair proportion. having IN
mind how very extensively woman has
been thrust into the professional and
industrial occupations by our modern
civilization. In art, In literature, IN
law, in medicine. in education, In
finance, IN commerce, in manufacture,
end @en now In war the twentieth
century woman is bearing he= full share
in the creation and conservation of the
wealth of nations, and In the support of
those for whom circumstance mad rem
dered her responsible.
While this increasing absorption Of
women in business pursuits may by
some DE viewed as constituting
danger to the State. on the one hand
through giving them interests foreign
to the home, and on the other through
the effect of their competition with
man, thereby lessening his earning ca
pacity to the point where the forming
of home ties is not feasible. It is never
theless the outcome of present day
economic conditions and must be rec
ognized as an integral part OF our q
nancial and industrial fabric. Charged,

ments seriously. Since. as a general
thing, the American woman Is her own
home manager. and In many cases
oversees her servants IL she has them,
she contends that the inefficiently man.
aged household Is the exception and
not the rule. In concluding her defense
OF American housewives, Mrs. Laidlaw
said:
Woman is the great economic ad-
juster. She is greatly handicapped in
her determination to manage her home
wisely. partly due to the fact that the
man handles the handbook. You will
find the offices of men downtown are
equipped with vacuum cleaners, while
the women at home drag out their
strength. Average business is not or
ganiLed TO save, while saving Is the
prime object with the average home

finished product. In all business there
is great waste, waste which the wom-
an would instinctively be saving

The home lie managed better than

seph Laidlaw, a prominent suffrage
worker of New York, who has not al
lowed politics to interfere with home
management and the training OF her
children ''woman's efficiency in do
mestic management is due to the CEN
turtles of experience that have been
hers" she said in a recent interview.
MANS place in the business world is
but recently won, as compared with It.
Even women of the early ages had TO

lies In the fact that he is impatient

nothing is too small to save.

Both Aioysius and the st. Martins

AN Event OF
GREAT INTEREST
TO MEN!
Arrival of Second Shipment of
the Famous Kuppenheimer
Suits and OverCOats in
GrOsner's Factory Sale.

That men appreciate unusual values
In clothing Is evidenced by the en-
thusiasm shown in the Grosner's Kup-
penheimer Factory Sale. The first ship
ment proved big drawing card, but
was not large enough to meet the de-
mands of the large number of men
who wished to patronize the sale. 1t
Is indeed a news item Of interest to
announce the arrival of the second ship
ment. The values in the second ship
ment fully equal, II not surpass, those
of the first.
Kuppenheimer Clothing has always
been associated in the minds of men
with high quality. and rightly so. These
suits and overcoats measure up fully
TO the Kuppenheimer reputation. Every
style is a late one. and a favored one,
too.
Grosner, of 1913 Pennsylvania Avenue,
was fortunate enough to secure the
entire END of season" stock of the
kuppenheimer factory at a big dis
count from regular price, and is
selling the Suits and OverC0ls cor
respondingly low. For instance. The
SIS and $50 Suits and Overcoats are now
and OvercoGts. $l6S5. Is II any wonder
that men are fiocking to GrOsner's for
either a new Suit or OverCOat, or both,
In view OF these offerings?
Truly an opportunity that occurs but
seldom, and men will do well to seize II.
Every garment sold during this Fac
tory Sale is subject to the same liberal
service guarantee as though full price
was asked.
Avenue, apd the men who attend the
sale tomorrow will be assured prompt
and efficient service.-Advt.
