FREE INSURANCE TO
SOLDIERS IN WAR
GOVERNMENT PLANS TO CARRY
$4,000 POLICY ON EVERY
MAN.

Plans for issuing $4,000 free gov
eminent insurance on the life of every
American soldier and sailor during
the war in lieu of pension arrange
ments are being taken up this week
by the council of national defense. A
report prepared y Assistant Secretary
Sweet of the commerce department,
urges that the insurance be provided
thru legislation before American
troops are sent to France.
The plans as prepared provide for
q fiat insurance of $4,000 on the life
of every officer and private in the
military and naval service, to be paid
to his beneficiaries without premiums.
A government insurance bureau
would handle the whole subject and
there would be provisions for a sys-
tenn of insurance by which officers and
men desiring to do so could take out
amounts higher than the $4,000 free
policy by paying premiums at peace
rates.
The plan would provide also in
surance for partial or tothl disability.
In case of death the insurance would
be paid in installments, the amount
to be determined by government
board.
Government officials are convinced
that the best way to dispose Of the
pension problem Is to meet it before
hand. History of the pension system
since the Civil war has shown many
abuses which 1t is hoped to avoid by
providing insurance before men are
killed.

The new concrete sidewalks con-
Meeting the Coliseum and old admin

curved that much passing to and fro
over them produces a certain degree
of inebriation.
The Dining Club has spread out all
over the basement of the Industrial

The Music department has just re-
ceived an allotment of new pianos
for use in Sheridan Coliseum.

There is no bell system whatever.
Glasses take up and dismiss accord

suits in much confusion and loss of
time. The buildings are far enough
apart to make it very inconvenient.

ball boys out every afternoon. Every
thing is in the 'going-tO-be" stage
yet.
The Lecture Course Committe has
lined out an excellent course for the

best which it has presented to Hays
patrons.
An effort is being made by the
journalism class to ascertain the
exact address of every former F. II.

who will be when all the draft calls
have been made. Many of the stu
dents knew the name of the boy who
Will or is now with the colors but the
exact address is missing in many of
them. If any reader of the Free
Press knew the address of any form

nations army, but in their small way
thousands of women in all parts of
the world are miniature Joans-
Joan of Arc, more than any wOnl-
an who ever lived stood for equal
ity and for woman's place IN the
world. not only alongside of man, but
as the leader of man. What cORmun-
ity is there but has its woman leader,
its feminine mind that is more far
seeing than the masculine and more
idealistic?
First of all Joan stood for a prin-
cipal. Inspired by the voices who
talked to her in her dreams, she was
determined she had a mission in life to
perform. Rebuffed, ridiculed, wound
ed by word and sword, she chung ten
aciously to her purpose That the
world which circumscribes the life
activities of the modern woman Is
more limited than Joan's world does
not alter the opportunities of the mod
ern woman to fight and win as she
fought and won.
''Never lived there an oppOrtunist
like Joan of Are Her constant cry
was The time IS so short and there Is
so much to be donep Even after she
raised the siege of Orleans in one of
the most brilliant military exploits
of all ages, she was not content TO re-
main idle in her newly won hOnors.
Where those around her counted time
in months and years, Joan counted
the days.
What finer lesson could Joan of
Arc have left behind her for the
modern woman TO ponder on? How
often is heard the statement that to-
morrow will be good enough? With
Joan there was no tomorrow every
thing was today"
In these days when the power of
women TO influence and sway the af-
fairs of the world along channels that
tend to the uplift of humanity, no
greater portrayal of their influence
could possibly be imagined than the
wonderful production of "Joan the
Woman"

In the Capital the other day was a
/ long article about the state teachers
convention. There is an ever-pres-
ent possibility that the big Topeka
meeting will break up into four sec
lions. In discussing what city would
/ get this part of Kansas the article
said:
"Saliana and Hays will have a
| scrap all their own when it comes to
| the selection of a convention city in
their district in the event of division
of the association. Salina is a larger
city than Hays, but the latter city
| has the reputation of getting what it
goes after. Hays has a fine new au-
| ditorium of sufficient size to accom-
mOdate the teachers of northwest

Salina has a man on the executive
committee that decides.
Salina has an active, vigilant, mill

go after such meetings.

A question which seems certain to

with two boys of the Normal who are
said to have refused to march in the

asserts that she saw them deliberate

Parker says that if they are not
thrown in the creek by other boys he
misses his estimate of F. H. N. boys

fuse to recognize a draft parade have
no right to expect the other student.
