HEALTH INSURANCE.
Means a Great Decrease In Sickness
and increase of Efficiency.

Discussing the proposed health in
surance measure before COMMITTEES
of the New York senate, Miles VI. Daw-
son, lawyer and social worker. said:
We have heard that because health
insurance has worked well in England
and Germany that is no reason it will
work well here. That is Il fallacious
argument Our history has proved that
whenever we have found thing work
ing well somewhere else we have been
able to make it work better here
In the thirty years that health insur-
ance has been in vogue in Germany
there has been an addition Of eleven
years TO the eyeage lifetime There
is need of such legislation in this coun-
try.
The representatives of capital who
have appeared here to say that this
legislation will drive manufacturers
out of the state used the same argu-
ments against Workmeu's compensa-
ton. Yet now they know better They
know that workmens compensation IS
good for them. as it is good for the
worker 1t means a decrease i'm acci.
dents and greater efficiency Health
insurance means a decrease in sick
ness and more efficiency The cost
will be about one-half of l per cent of
an employers payroll His return will
be far greater It is a good business
proposition.

FLIGHT OF ARETHUSA.
Neurological Origin of Favorits
British Warship Name.


From the days of Drake "Arethusa"
has always been the favorite name of
a swift, light cruiser in the British
navy. 4 coyet named ArethuSa took
part in the battle Of Cape st. Vincent
on Feb. IA. 1897, when Nelson then un-
der Jeryis. defeated the Spanish fleet,
and this Arethusa was henceforth with
the great admiral down to his last bat
tie at Trafalgar eight years later.
AS ArethusaS have succeeded one an
other in the British navy, legends have
gathered around the name until the
ship so named has seemed TO symbolic
the NEUROLOGICAL origin of the term.
There is In Peloponnesus Il river call
ed Morea. In ancient times, it is said,
1t was presided over by river god
named Alpheus. Alpheus fell in love
with the river nymph. Arethusa and
pursued her through the water. Diana.
hearing her cries Of distress, opened Il
passage for the stream SO that it flowed
under the sea to Sicily. where, near
Syracuse, ArethuSa disappeared in the
spray of a beautiful fountain
The river, untainted by the sea, still
flows underground to the fountain,
and Alpheus is still said to be search
ing for the nymph, but never finds her.
This is why her naval namesakes have
eluded the enemy through all the cen
turies and have been believed by the
superstitious to be invulnerable.-New
York Times.

LURlNG THE FISH.
just What Kinds of Natural Bait Ara
the Most Effective.


Natural bats are those which most
anglers are accustomed to using. Such
bats include worms, frogs minnows,
grasshoppers, grubs salt pork, crickets
and many kind Of real fish food.
The most common of all baits is the
angleworm, and it is used more than
any other because it can be secured SO
easily. This bait can be used for all
kinds of fish and is accepted by large
and small alike. no matter whether
surface or bottom feeders
The worms may be used just rs they
are taken from the ground. and they
are generally used in that condition.
But if they are dug week before,
washed and fed with few bread
crumbs soaked in milk they become
toughened and make the best bait
1t is common saying that the big
worm will match the big fish There
appears to be little if anything in this,
but worm that is just the right size
to cover the hook when properly I'M
paled without crowding is the right
size.
The grasshopper is another good bait
especially for surface feeding fish Per-
haps no other bait will cause lazy
old trout to rise so quickly from the
depths as will ii lively grasshopper.
For black bass and other large fish
the minnow is the favorite bait BY
'minnow' is meant a small fish. for
small fish are invariably called min
nows by anglers. regardless Of their
species
Small frog; make good bait for all
game fish aud may he used with Il sin

like batting with minnow The dob
son, or helgramite, is excellent as bait
for many kinds Of fish.
Crawhsh are common as bait used
for still fishing. They are best at the
time they have shed their she'll and in
this condition may be hooked through
the body, but at other times should be

CALLS 1T BLOW AT FREEDOM
Indictment of Steel Companies a Men,

GomperS bases his contentious oD the

"No principle says Gompers in his

UNI0NIZING THE ACTORS.
Evils That the Players Hope to Over
come bv Oruanization

come by Organization. =
The proposed unionizing of dramatic
art is logical sequence of CONNER
cializing the theater.
Centralized management has placed
the actors profession at its mercy.
Many of the evils suffered by perform
ers are beyond the reach Of the law.
The actor must sign a one sided con-
tract Ii he wants TO work at all He
must rehearse In a new play for six
weeks or two months without pay, as
Stunning the risk of the company dis
banding in two weeks after the first
public performance is held On an ay-
erage two plays out of every five fail.
IL the company collapses at distance
from his home he must get back as
best he can.
These are some of the evils which
the actors think they can overcome by
unionizing their profession Acting Is
special ability growing largely out of
personal attributes of which each play
er holds monopoly. so the question
OF a wage scale does not enter to an
important extent
The argument against an actors I'M
ion is that 1t affiliates art with trade.
But the managers long ago established
the precedent. On the other hand, the
musicians are organized under the
American Federation of Labor without
damage TO the prestige of the great
artists, all of whom are compelled to
become members
The just demands OF musicians are
everywhere recognized by the men who
control the theaters. The actors, whose
interests are as consistently ignored,
have needed the example. and with the
aid Of union card they are preparing
to follow it.-New York World

WHITE OF THE MOON.
What Causes Fair Luna, In Its Color,
to Rival Pure Snow?

The moon has no light of its own
and shines through being Illuminated
by the sun What sort of surface
must the moon have to reflect the light
so Whitley as it does? This question
is put forcibly in a letter to Nature
from J. Eyershed Of Srinagar, Nash
mir, who describes the moon as far
whittier and more brilliant than the
snow clad SUBMITS of the Himalayas
when these are still lighted by the sun.
He writes:
why does the moon appear 50 white
if it is composed of rocks sim lar in re-
fiecting power TO those on the earth?
The rock surface OF the moon should
reflect far less light than the cloudy
surfaces of Venus and Jupiter, and it
would be of interest if those who know
would explain the apparent whiteness
of the moon as seen IN daylight.
"A direct comparison of the moon
with terrestrial rock surfaces illumi-
mated hy sunlight is nossihlv To some
