WEALTH OF LIFE INSURANCE

It is perfectly natural for man to
be interested in his own money. Es-
pecially is this so when the money is in
the hands of another person, company,
corporation, or society. But when an
actuary of one of the big life insurance
companies begins to tell you what is
being done with your money, as one of
the policy holders, the figures and totals
are SO tremendous that they almost
paralze the mental faculties.
Perhaps you never thought that the
life insurance companies of this coun-
try are nothing more than large socie-
ties, acting as trustees for the people, S
money. 1t may not have occurred to
you before that your money, combined
with many other sums of many other
people, has contributed largely to the
financing of the railroads of the United
States and other large enterprises.
If the assets of the thirty-seven life
insurance companies which have been
in business since 1877 We're combined,
the sum would be sufficiently large to
buy up every national bank, pay the
national debt, and leave considerably
more than So, 900, 900 besides.
Expressed in other terms, if, accord
ing to Biblical authority, Adam was
born 4004 B. C. and had he had pennies
placed before him, and had counted con-
tinuously, he would still have to count
five hundred more years before he would
reach the sum of the combined assets
of the thirty-seven companies to which
reference has been made.
And This has all been the people s
money.
During the era of expansion in the
| life insurance business, that is to say
in the period embraced from 1880 tt
| 1905, the amount of insurance in force
was multiplied seven times over, in
creasing from 81, 800, 000,0 900 to $40, 800
900, 900. While the assets of the compan
les increased in almost equal proportion
from $42O, 900, 900 to 81, $50, 900, 900.
And this was and is your money. l
not, it was and is the money of othe
people.

JUSTICE TO BELGIUM FIRST

Pretty nearly every citizen of neu-
trail country will agree with the Belgian
delegate to the International Congress
of Women at the Hague who said:
"There can be no peace without justice.
The war must continue until the Bel
gians, wrongs have been righted. There
must be no mediation except at the bar
of justice.
Justice to the Belgians must be the
foundation stone of all peace proposals.
The inyasion of Belgium without the
slightest shadow of an excuse that any
intelligent neutral can accept was a
dastardly crime against treaty obliga-
tions, against international 9 law,
against humanity. Any nation of the
Allies that should consent to peace that
did not first of all restore Belgium to
its own people would commit a crime
almost as dastardly as that of the occu-
patton.
This war, murderous, deliberately
invoked, long prepared Tor, may have
its silver lining, but only in case it shall
lead to restriction of militarism and
tend to produce permanent peace. But
there can be no permanency without
Justice, and there can be no justice
! until the outrageous wrongs of Belgium
are atoned for as nearly as possible. =

Army Shoe Has Short Life

According to an exchange, the army
shoe has short life.
''Six weeks is found to be the life of
an army shoe in the European war, and
at this rate it is necessary that 1000,
600 pairs be supplied yearly" said
Major Charles 7. Cahill, of the academic
staff of the Massachusetts Volunteer
Militia Training School.
"Almost exact copies of the United
States army shoe are being worn by
soldiers in the European conflict" con-
tinued Major Cahill.
"Already American shoe manufacture
ers have shipped 100000 pairs to the
beligerent nation in the field, and it
seems probable that more and larger
orders will follow"
Major Cahill said the statistics is t.

through expert investigators.

THE WOMANLY WOMAN

Why is it that though women are
taught that marriage is their mission in
life any open effort on their part to full
fill that mission is met with sneers and
ridiculs? There is theory that truly
"womanly" woman most modestly con-
ceal any wish she may cherish to win
the affections of given man, but must
sit at home until he seeks her out of
his own accord. This is theory en-
tertained probably by most men, and a
good many women at least affect to be-
lieve it; though as matter of fact,
the womanly woman of all others is the
one who most actively exerts herself
to gain her coveted prize. She spins
her little web, inveigies the unsuspect-
ing man into its mashes-1nnocently
enough, oh, yes-and he is lost, though
he fatuously believes that he went of
his own free and accord. The fact that
the most womanly of women, as they
are commonly classed, may practically
do the courting and never be charged
with anything unmaidenly is set out
with extreme cleverness in the latest
novel by Henry Syndor Harrison,
author of Queed. The way of maid"
who has chosen marriage as a career
and is 'home body" in capturing a
husband has not been so well depicted
in any recent novel. But as it was the
fuIfillment of her obvious destiny, why
blame her or her kind for the exercise
of their arts?
