struction of the California,
Worlds Greatest Sea Fighter.

The keel of the worlds greatest
dreadnaught, the California. VIII De
laid at the New York navy yard next
Thursday Secretary Daniels VIII be
present. The California will be a de-
parture from the accepted type OF pat
tleships, for the bow will be OF the
clipper style, giving her yachtilke
appearance That type of bow with a
wide flare at the deck is calculated TO
make the California drier in the seaway

The California is designed to make
twenty-one knots an hour.
The most notable feature in the con-
struction of the ship is the electric
drive system of applying power to the
propellers The California will burn
oil for fuel The steam generated in
her boilers will drive turbines, which
in turn will drive the dynamos that
supply power to the motors which OPP
crate the screws. She will have dis
placement of $4,000 tons and will be
500 feet over all, with a beam of
ninety-seven feet four inches and a

Plans Cooperation.
The bureau of naturalization plans
to cooperate with the superintendent
as far as possible in having would-be
citizens trained for naturalization. La st
year Go aliens in the District applied
for citizenship.
The bureau has given out the follow
| ing statistics regarding foreign born
| in Washington:
| The foreign-born white population in
1910 was 24,351, or ~ per cent of the
| total population. OF this number H.
1873 were males who had attained their
majority and only GAIA were shown to
have been naturalized.
In 1SlU there We're 5,0S2 males over
twenty-one years of age who We're
claSsed as iiliterate. OF these, SO We're
foreign born whites and 391 We're ma
tive whites, the percentage of illiteracy
being 60 for the former and s. for
the latter. The percentages in 1900
We're 9 for native whites and 5 for
foreign born whites, thus showing that
while there has been d decline in the
proportion of illiterates among the ma
tive whites there has been a marked
increase in illiteracy among the for
eign-born whites.
There were 1.349 white persons ten
years of age and over in 1910, who
were unable to speak the English Ian
guage, as compared with only 254 in
1900. an increase of 431 per cent in ten
years.

SERIES OF LIFE
INSURANCE LECTURES
First Talk Given Last Friday

In the Delaware College oratory
last Friday evening, Professor S.
S. Huebner, of the University of
Pennsylvania, delivered the first
of series Of lectures on Life In
surance." Professor Huebner was
entertained at dinner at the Hotel
dupont in this city by the Della
ware Association of Life Under
writers prior to starting for New
ark by automobile. The Whining
ton party numbered about twenty.
At the college an audience of
students, faculty members and
townspeople listened with interest
to Professor Huebner's exposition
Of "The Family and Business Uses
of Life Insurance" 1t was quite
evident that the National Associa-
tion of Life Underwriters had
made no mistake in appointing DR..
Huebner to prepare textbook on
life insurance, shortly to be issued.
His happy mixture of common
sense and expert knowledge
brought to his hearers a most il
Eliminating acquaintance with a
subject so vitally connected with
modern economic conditions.
DR.. Huebner's address divided
itself into two parts, the first deal
ing with the family and personal
uses, and the second with the busi-
ness uses of life insurance. Under
the first he developed the princi-
pie that life insurance is the only
known method by which the value
of human life can be capitalized
BY furnishing this capitalized
value in the event of death, life in
surance perpetuates the earning
capacity of the life for the bene-
fit of those dependent upon it.
Nearly all other values are being
capitalized in this modern age, and
it is entirely proper, in fact, es-
sential, that the value of a human
life should also be capitalized.
Such capitalization of the value
of human life, he asserted, is a
fundamental duty that should be
given the widest publicity through
the pulpit, the school and the press
This is especially true since in the
great majority of instances life
insurance is the only recourse
open to the man of moderate
means who finds it difficult or i'm
possible by force of circumstances
to accumulate a savings fund for
those dependents who may outlive

him. Emphasis should be laid on
the "crime of not insuring," and
the finger of scorn should be point
ed at any man who, although he
has provided we'll for his house
hold during life, has not seen fit
to discount the uncertain future
for the benefit of dependents. In
this respect life insurance is the
only sure means of changing un-
certainty into certainty, and is the
opposite of gambling. He who
does not insure CANDLES with the
greatest of all chances, and if a
loser, makes those dearest to him
pay the forfeit.
Among other personal benefits
derived from life insurance, DR..
Huebner emphasized the follow
ing: Life insurance is purely in
direct force in the production of
wealth in that it relieves the pol
icy-holder of worry and increases
his efficiency, and worry is one of
the greatest curses that can fall
to the lot of man. For this reason
premium payments should not be
looked upon as merely an expense
to be grudgingly borne, and the
consequent elimination of worry,
especially since the possession of
an adequate amount of insurance
protection should cause the aver
age policy holder to eat better,
sleep better, feel better and as a
result of these, do work better.
Life insurance was also EN-
phasized as one of the best ways
of making saving passible. While
the habit of saving should by all
means be encouraged, it must eve,
be borne in mind that the saving
of a competence involves the nee
essary time to save, and that life
insurance is the only certain
method to use as a hedge against
the possibility of the savings per-
iod being cut short by death. In
this connection life insurance also
furnishes profitable and safe in
vestment, forces and encourages
thrift and may be used as a means
Of facilitating the purchase of a
home.
Following his analysis of the
family uses of life insurance, DR..
Huebner next considered it's nu-
merous business uses. He first de-
veloped the fact that life insur-
ance should particularly appeal to
the business man when it is shown
that in nearly all instances there
is very close relationship be-
tween his home and the business
which he is engaged. SO close is
this relationship that a policy
Newark post., 1915-04-28

taken for the special conservation
of the business may often prove
more valuable than policy taken
out for the direct protection OF
the family. The latter policy can
seldom do more than alleviate in
measure the financial injury
caused by the death of the income
producer, while the former may
be the means of successfully con-
tinuing in operation the business
of the deceased. Moreover, the
owner of business, generally
speaking, conducts the same pri-
marily with a view to supporting
a home, thus again showing that
the welfare of the home and the
welfare of the business ar so inti-
mately related as, generally speak
ing, to be inseparable. On the
one hand the advantage of family
insurance., such as freedom from
worry, increase in initiative, and
so forth will produce a very
wholesome effect upon the well
fare of the insured's business, and
business success means, as rule,
family happiness and content
ment. On the other hand, busi-
ness adversely practically always
means family adversely, and there
fore business insurance which
protects the business against dis
aster is in reality also family in
surance, since it preserves the
family's interest in the income de-
rived from the business.
AS regards business uses, Dr.
Huebner emphasized the function
, of life insurance as means OF IN
, Identification against loss through
the death of officials and valuable
, employees, and of protecting EN-
ployes for the benefit of their fam,
lilies, thus increasing the efficiency
of the employers working force
Long service on the part Of en-
ployes is deemed desirable by
many employers as one of the best
means of keeping up the quality
and keeping down the cost OF the
product. 1t is therefore with a
view to lengthening the service OF
their employees that many corpora
tions and firms are maintaining
for their employees comprehensive
pension or insurance plans. The
uses of life insurance as security
for bond issues, as means for
accumulating funds for institu-
tions, as a means of enhancing the
credit of business enterprises dur
ing times of financial stringency,
as a means of borrowing without
collateral, and as method of max
