SIDE T ALM S
Not Afraid to Love.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

There are some people in this world
for whom 1 care more than they for
me.
There are other people who q
think) care more for me than L for
them.
And I am not ashamed of the first
fact and 1 do see why they should
be ashamed of the second.
And yet there are a great many
people who are ashamed if they feel
more friendship or love for any other
than that other for them.
If on the other hand, they find that
they are more important to someone
than he or she to them, they swell
with pride. 1 know a woman whose
proudest boast it is that none of her
friends are really necessary to her,
and that when any misunderstanding
occurs, it is they who always make
the first overtures, because she never
will.
It is a beautiful thing to love-
And by '1ove," of course, 1 do not
mean merely man and woman love.
but all kinds of affection. ~
The more love you can feel, the
better for you. Love is an exercise
for the soul. The trouble with many
unhealthy little souls is that they don't
have enough exercise.
If you let other people do more
than their share of the loving, it is
OF course it would be ideal if love
always answered love, that is, if the
individual to whom we feel drawn al
ways felt equally drawn to u.s.
But apparently that cannot be.
Perhaps as the centuries pass and the
world grows better, and we get into
more perfect tune with the infinite,
that will be one of the happy adjust
ments. And surely it's going to be
that way in the next life.
We were talking about this subject
the other day and someone said
But haven't you ever been bored by
someone you didn't care for, and who
insisted on absorbing your time and
attention? Wouldn't you hate to bore
anyone else that way? That's what
makes me afraid to care more for 9TH
ers than they for me-"
You needn't be afraid" said
For loving people doesn't mean i'm
posing yourself upon them. I'd never
be ashamed to love anyone ten times
as much as they loved me, but I'd
be ashamed to try to exact of them
the least bit of affection or time that
they could not freely give"
To love is one thing. To exact is
quite another.-(Copyrigh by George
Matthew Adams)

MARINE INSURANCE UP

Since Wars Opening Rate.

New York, Dec. 14.-War risk ma

to 10 per cent for transatlantic car
goes with rates based on total valua-
ton of ship and cargo and not on the
latter only, as heretofore.
This Is a higher level than that
reached the only other time since Au-
gust 1914, when with the beginning
of the war, the rate went to 20 per
cent.
The present rise in rates is attrib-

that peace is not soon in prospect and
that submarine activity will continue
and may increase

1t was proved a failure again when
an attempt was made to secure
enough men to take the place of
guardsmen refused under the Federal
inspection at the border for physical
disability. or given honorable dis
charge because of those dependent
on them for support.
1t is being proved now a failure all
over the United States when the Ma
tional Guard units. mustered out of
Federal service in their home states,
are required within thirty days to
recruit up to Federal peace strength
under the new Federal oath or lose
the financial support provided for by
Congress.
The California guardsmen did not
take the Federal oath before leaving
for the border; and while most of the
officers have since taken such oath,
very few of the men have or will do
so. In consequence the companies
must disband unless supported by the
state. Even if so supported, the pres
ent indications are that the men will
not re-enlist when their present
terms expire, and that their places
cannot be filled by others under the
present system.
