THE INSTITUTION FOR
SYSTEMATIC THRIFT
R. o. Miles of San Francisco Asso-
citation Wins Prize Essay Contest.

The institution of life insurance in
its relation to systematic thrift holds
position of economic importance be-
yond all comprehension. 1t is an in
dispensible factor in its relation to
human progress. Its results in en-
couraging thrift are beyond all COM

protection when hey need it most 1t
gives to them the opportunity to
thrive through thrift when they can
best afford to save. 1t provides
motive so human and impelling that
their thrift becomes voluntary and sys
tematc. Although primarily not
saving or investment institution, life
insurance has become both, and in the
lives of many men their policies of
life insurance have proved their most
dependable and profitable as we'll as
their most indispensable asset.
The mission of life insurance is
two-fold. 1t is not only a means of
encouraging and of guarding Sthe
thrift of the nation. but it is the fore
most means of teaching it. Thrift in
a man is a moral quality and a prac-
teal one. 1t is the feeling that makes

moral strain gives a person the wish

involves: CD the ability to save, (2)
to manage ones resources so that
there is something left, (3) to care for
what is saved so that it will be lost
but used to the best advantage, (4) to

SCHOOL NOTES.

Last Wednesday, while coming
down stairs from the assembly room,
Miss Goldie Powell, one of the high
school girls, happened to an unfor-
tunate accident when she slipped and
fell, injuring herself rather seriously.
She has not been able to return to
school as yet and it is hoped by the
entire student body that she may have
an early recovery.
The boys of the manual training de-
partment have made two fine ironing
boards which they presented to the
domestic science department. They
are so made that when not in use
they may be folded back against the
wall and out the way.
The civics class of the Lincoln
building made a trip over to the
county building last week during the
session of court where they were very
cordially received by Judges Bryan
and Meek, who took special pains to
explain fully the details of their re-
spective courts. The boys and girls
were very enthusiastic over their visit
and have had many interesting and
valuablea discussions covering points
another day, visit was made to the
City Hall and study of the work of
the city officials taken up. The men,
bers of the local administration were
very painstaking to give all of the in
formation possible to the pupils who
gained a new viewpoint of civic life
and the cares of maintaining a city.
The teachers express deep apprecia-
ton of the cordiality of both county
and city officials as shown to the
classes.

The Caldwell high school football
team left last Thursday evening to
play the heavy Baker City team and
the high school of Vale, Oregon. The
result at Baker was 7 to 6 in favor of
Baker but the score in this case does
not indicate the strength of the two
teams. During the first two quarters
the team was excited and did not
show up at their best, allowing one
touchdown by Baker and being unable
to score. During the intermission
things were Strengthened out, however

ball shown in the last half of the
game could not be compared to that

was unable to kick goal leaving the
score 7 to E. Time was now quite

him.
Mr.. Dewey is something more than

Mr. Dewey's splendid qualities have
caused him to be considered for high

candidate for Governor upon the Re-

to the End yard line in three downs
when it went out of bounds and while
it was being brought in time was call
ed. According to the rules, time is
taken out when the ball goes out of
bounds, but the officials seemed to
ignore this point and the game was
declared ended with the ball within
two yards of victory. After it was
too late the mistake was admitted and
Coach Williams of Baker stated that
without doubt if Caldwell had been
allowed the one more down to which
they should have had. the ball would
have gone over. Although it is hard
to lose a game by such happening,
Caldwell proved themselves good
loosers and took the undeserved de-
feat.
Baker is willing to play another
game later and it is possible that it
will be played off this season.
On the way home the team stopped
off in Vale and won from their high
school by a score of u to 0, although
tired out from the game of the day be-
fore. Toward passing netted large

Albany. April 13.-The Thorn bill to
license Christian Science healers was
beaten in the Assembly to-day by
vote Of 79 to as.
Many members declared that while
they had been inclined to favor the bill
on the plea OF religious liberty, they
felt the health Of the people would be
endangered by faith healers.

said S. c. Clobridge, OF Herhimer, "but

Science treatment. Practically the only

THINK SLAIN WOMAN
LIVED in YONKERS
Detectives Find Brand of Coat
and COrsets Common There
Slip of Paper a CleW.

Detectives attached to the Bronx
bureau. who have been searching Tor
the murderers Of the young woman
found slain last Saturday on the Astor
estate, l77th and Noble Streets. The
Bronx. are convinced that the victim
was a resident Of Yonkcrs. For two
DAYS Detectives Morrell and Nelson
have been devoting their attention to
the Westchester city, striving to trace
the girl among the factory employees
there.
II has been ascertained that the
brand of coat worn by the dead girl
was sold in large quantities TO fonk..
crs dealers. and the same is true OF
the corsets taken from the body. The
detectives also are questioning the
dentists. in the hope of learning where
gold crown on one of her teeth WIS
made.
The most important clew found on
the body was taken yesterday from
the coat worn by the woman. II was
slip of paper on which were penciled
the figures 1913 W" u may be tele-
phone number or part Of an address
and a search was conducted yesterday
among the houses on the West Side
bearing that number.
At first il was thought that the WON
an was Of Polish nationality, but scores
OF Poles who have viewed the body are
unanimous in asserting that the body
is that Of a Finn. Many Firms are en-
ploved in the Yonkers factories.
For a time yesterday it was thought
that the coat had been purchased at the
store of l.. ". Blumstein. 150th Street
and Third Avenue. l.. Bernhelm, man
aecr of the store, said that quantity
of the same style coats had been sold.
Further, one of the young women
clerks remembered having sold such a
garment to girl, who was accom-
panied by two Italians. An inyestlga-
ton by Detectives Wagner and Never
however shattered that possibility. as
thew found the men in question and
satisfied themselves that they were IN
no way concerned.
Miss Gentleman. another saleswom-
an, did remember selling like coat
about five weeks ago. The purchaser
left two rings behind and called Tor
them later. and Miss Gartleman
thought the rings taken from the desd
girls singers we're the same that mad
been left. However, she could not be
positive.
Detective Wagner took the slain
voman's coat to the Blumstein store
last evening and showed It 10 Miss
Gentleman. who said that it might be
the one she had sold, but she was not
certain.
