instead of in a lump sum, thereby as
surfing safe investment and iudiclous

STANDARD LIFE policyholders
are making history, not only in the
excellent mortality rating, but in
keeping their policies in force, as ev-
idenced by the fact that the lapse ra-
ito for 1916 was only 33 per cent.
Very few companies, if any, will show
such favorable record, This speaks
volumes for Standard Life when you
consider the charge made for so
many years, that the lapses on colored
business was extremely high. On the
contrary, our records show that it is
lower than the average of the leading
companies of the world.

NASHVILLE. BANKS FIRST IN THE
PERCENTAGE OF NEGRO HOME
OWNERS.

A national real estate journal re.
Gently printed the interesting news
that Nashville ranks first among the
cities of the country in the percentage
OF Negro population owning their own
homes. This is fine evidence of the
thrift and progress of Nashville's col
ored people. 1t is especially pleasing
to notice that the number of Negro
renters is growing smaller every day,
while the number of property owners
is growing larger.
Hard work, right living and saving
are the three greatest ways open to
the colored people of the South to bet
ter their condition and those who OBJ
serve these rules soon gain the con
fidence of their employers and every

they have thus showed that they car
