The treasury department is making
every effort to have every member of
Americas fighting forces take advan-
tage of the government insurance plan,
which Secretary McAdoo asserts to be
"the most just and humane provision
ever made by any nation for its soldiers
and sailors"
The purpose is rapidly being achieved,
the insurance having passed the third
billion mark in the total of policies writ
ten, and there are many military units
in which every member has taken insur-
ance.
The automatic insurance provided by
the law is only partial and limited pro-
lection, payable only to wife, child, or
widowed mother and ceases after Feb
ruary IL, 1918. 1t is important, there
fore, not only to the soldiers and sailors
OF the country. but to their families and
that before that date they
avail themselves of the full government
protection. which can go as high as &c.
900 and is payable to wife, husband
child, grandchild, parents, brother, or
sister.
The law also provides for the reedu
cation and rehabilitation of the totally
disabled and monthly compensation to
those disabled.

How Edison Judges Men.

II you have beeen regarding Edison
as genius aud nothing else, YOU have
been mistaken. The vice.president Of
Thomas Edison, Inc, says In an article
about Mr., Edison In the February Amer.
lean Magazine;
mo one knows or probably ever will
know exactly what standards OF judg
ment Mr., Edison employs In forming
his preliminary Judgment of a man,
There are tTeatises on the subject OF
character reading, but Edison would
seorn Co adopt the rules expounded IN
any of them. Whatever rules he uses
are drawn from his own experience, Al.
though partially deaf, Mr.. Edison has
not cultivated the Faculty Of lip reading.
However, he is an expert reader Of hui
man faces, Very possibly, he long ago
decided that il is less important 10 read
a mans words than TO divine the intent
behind them. He IL close observer Of
mems eyes. Also he appears to enter
tain collateral interest in ears, chins,
foreheads, and heads.
Thomas A. Edison's activities have
brought him in contact with many men
in various walks of life. He has sat
at countless conferences, deaf and indif-
ferent to the conversational camouilage
which most men use TO mask their mo-
ties, and has studied faces, cataloguing
each type, think, and thus arrived
at the standards of judgment which he
now uses. This is merely my opinion.
Perhaps Mr.. Edison would not admit
that his opinions of men are based on
any such classification of his obserya-
tions. Perhaps he is not even conscious
of having made observations of this
kind; but ii you viii cultivate reticence,
study the faces of all the men you meet,
and classify them by types in the light
of their subsequent acts, | am pretty
sure that YOU will ultimately acquire the
habit OF forming your preliminary esti-
mate OF a man very much rs Mr. Edison
gains his first impressions"
