MAY INSURE ALL SOLDIERS
Tentative Suggestion is Payment
Of $4,000 in Lieu of Pension to
Beneficiaries- - Larger
Policies at Peace
Rates.

Washington, June 2.-Plans 20, is
suing $1,000 free government insur-
ance on the life of every American
soldier and sailor during the war in
lieu of pension arrangements, will be
taken tip next week by the Council
of National Defense. A report pc
pared by Assistant Secretary Sweet
of the Commerce Department, urges
that the Insurance be provided be-
tore the troops are sent to France
| The defense council took up the
question some weeks ago ard turned
the whole subject over to the Depart
inent of Commerce for inves. fation.
The report now ready offers long
list of arguments showing the adj
vantage of working out coinrcnsa-
lion system before American lives
are lost in the war.
The plans as prepared provide TO:
flat insurance of $4,000 on the life
OF every officer and private i'll the
military naval service, to be paid to
his beneficiaries without premiums.
A government insurance bureau
would handle the whole subject and
there would be provision for a sys-
TEN Of insurance by which officer,
and men desiring to do so coul1 take
out amounts higher than th!' $1,000
free policy by paying premiums at
peace rates.
Insurance companies, it is said. are
ready to approve the scheme if as
sured the government will not con-
tinue in the insurance business after
the war.
At the end of the war. the govern
ment, it is suggested, could turn over
to insurance companies its premium
war business, dropping the flat 81
600 policies on all who leave the
service.
The insurance plan, it is believed,
| would improve the morale O! the
troops, since many would go into bat
tie much more. willingly if assured
their dependents would be cared Tor
if they we're killed. The plan would
provide also insurance for partial or
total disability. In case OF death the
insurance would be paid in INSTALL
ments. the amount OF which would
be determined by a government
board.

SHE "KIDDED"
THE PRESIDENT
'Woodie, Old Top, How Are You?"
the Hotel Hello Girl Asked.

She is one of the most obliging
telephone operators at one OF the
most popular hotels. But she thinks
she knows when she is being

for very distinguished guest at the
hotel she inquired the name.

over the phone.
Now, that is an old gag and it

your sweet voice over the wire.

The voice said it would like to
have the call and seemed oblivious to
the telephone girls "taffy."
"Oh, I'm getting him all right. But
really, Woody, don't you think you
have been ,neglecting me of lat"
She made up her mind she would
make him very tired'of such silly eff
fort to fool a tired hello girl.
By and by the response came and
she heard things that worried her.
She looked thoughtful and ehewed
her mint more vigorously.

White House. One of the secret ser

NEIL O'BRIEN'S MINSTRELS TO-
MORROW NIGHT.

The Dallas, Texas, News, of the
18th February, says Of Neil O'Brien's
M~instrels, who appear at the Green
wood Theatre tomorrow night:
"Not since Billy Kersands perfect
ed the minstrel show and gathered
around him the best of the funmakers
in his day has a production equaling
Neil O'Brien's Minstrels, which OPEN
ed at the Opera House last night,
been seen in this city. In many re-
spects O'Brien's aggregation surpas-
SEES that of the famous Kersands.
1T is certain Kersands never had
an Eddie Ross. If there is anything
funnier than Eddie Ross it is Eddie
Ross and his African harp. He is by
far the premier laugh producer of the
show and last nights audience laugh
ed itself out at his humor and antics.
He is different from the average
blackface and has a dry, deliberate
enuniciatio, that is ridiculous in it.
self.
"A large share Of the applause went
to Lasses White, a Dallas boy, who,
as Livingstone Dusenbury," thief
scout in the search for Villa, in the
Hast part of the program, kept the
audience in an uproar during every
second he was on the stage.
"Neil O'Brien is the same funny
O'Brien. He and Leslie Berry present
a satire on the jitney bus that is a
scream.
"The first part Of the program is
the best. The vocalists are Of unus-
ual merit and the selections rendered
in many cases were new to Dallas
~theatregoers. "Smile, Just Simply
Smile" sung by Neil O'Brien: "No-
body Else" by James Bardi; "They
Called 1t Dixieland," by Earle
Holmes; I'm the Sweet Long Year."
by Lester Haberkon; "Yaka Hula
Hickla Dula," by 'Lasses White, and
"In Time Of Peace, Prepare for War;"
by Joathan Haw, were all given from
three to four encores."
