Marine RISKS UP 3 1.2 PC.
AFTER LINER GOES DOWN
But Underwriters Say Increase Is
Temporary.

But Underwriters say increase is
Temporary.
Marine underwriters, convinced that the
sinking of the Lusitania Is true, raised
thd premium rates today on cargoes and
hulls Of vessels bound for ports in the
United Kingdom and France, in tho war
zone" The general advances were from
" to Slh per cent. on vessels flying the
British flag.
Several underwriters declared the sub
marine attack on the liner was only
spectacular play" and would affect the
rates for short time only.
Rates to English and French ports,
which we're quoted at y to IL per cent.
yesterday. were raised to to per cent.
today.
Owing TO the fact that the Lusitania
was chiefly a passenger-carrying vessel
and on this voyage carried no gold, the
cargo loss will amount to S750,GO0 only.
Very few American underwriters will feel
the loss, as the insurance was carried
mostly by British concerns.
Casualty underwriters stand to lose
NtA00, as personal risk insurance to
that amount was obtained by passengers
prior to the Lusitania's sailing.

The Builders
BY Ada Patterson.

once I thought the builders are the
most useful persons on earth. I still
think that no class Of the worlds
dwerers can surpass those who build
bridges across spaces that were deem
ed impossible, who cause cities TO
arise cut of deserts. and who link
cities by those benefcient parallel
bands of steel we call railroads
But there is a class that equal them
in doing the worlds work we'll l
had my first clear vision of them when
one hot afternoon L issued from the
green shade of the park and crossed
the street TO a square building, whose
dark front was broken by a balcony
on which were stretched a row of
little white cots
Within the cots lay little white
faced children. their heads in odd
metal hoods that looked like ancient
helmets. or their feet fastened TO the
end of a bed by a pulley that slowly
stretched the little limbs TO the length
and shape nature had intended those
limbs to be.
And as 1 went in at the big hos
pital gate it closed after a rosy faced
child of three who was being led
out by a mother whose face was trans
figured by a great gratitude.
Foolish folk spend most of their
hours pleading for things they want,
and when they get them they at once
begin wrestling with fate or provi-
dence for something else they want.
This humbly clad mother was one Of
the wise folk on earth. 1t was plain
from that Illuminated face that she
would give at least half her time TO
thanksgiving for the great. uneXpect-
ed good that had come to her. For
the busy, white doctors bustling about
in their white linen coats had wrought
a miracle for her. Her rosy child
with the happy eyes. who walked
lightly beside her. had been pale and
