soldiers and sailors Of the United States

pies and that democracy may live in
the days to come. II is huge scheme,
this Insurance proposition, for the
United states by act Of Congress has
constituted Itself the largest Insurance
company In the history Of the world.
Here is what has been done and what
Is being done:

cording TO their number up 30 the
sum OF $50 monthly. which Is the max
imum amount granted TO the wife and
lhildren OF an enlisted man.
When an enlisted man is injured or
disabled and discharged from The serv-
Ice, or when he dies. the alloiments
and allowances automatically cease
and the compensation feature Of the act
and the insurance feature, II insurance
has been applied for, become operative
This compensation ranges from 500 to
bi00 a month. In case Of disability it IS
paid TO the fighter himself; In case Of

death it is payable to only a wife. child
or widowed mother. The amount paid
depends on the size OF the family and
on the extent Of the disability. Com
pensation Is paid only FOR death OF dis
ability incurred in the line OF duty. and
Is paid alike to commissioned officers
and enlisted men. from the lowest ranks
TO the highest.
The sO-called military and naval in
sursnce act. which provides for this
new system Of protection, is in reality
three separate and distinct acts merged
for a common purpOse-namely, social
Justice Of the highest order The first
measure OF protection is the system OF
allowances and allotments, which safe
guard the fighting man and his family
while he Is at war. The second Is knowR
as compensation. and is the modern sci
entlflc and liberal substitute for the
dlscredlted pension; the third measure
of protection Is government insurance.
In the 1--WE months from October 8,
when the military and naval insurance
act was approved. the life underwrit-
ing section OF the Bureau OF War Risk
Insurance has grown to be the largest
life insurance company in the world.
When the Idea OF war risk insurance
for soldiers and sailors was broached
last summer the plan was outlined in
a conservative manner. That the figures
might reach s20OO,OO0.O00 was hlnted at
and that the government could put it
over" without too great strain upon
the people was also regarded as likely.
Today the total amount Of insurance
totals more than si3.OOOOOOOOO, which
has been taken up by over million
and a half young American men.
The sums In which war Risk insur-
ance may be taken out range from the
minimum Of $1,000 TO the maximum OF
$4,000 The boys are urged TO ake the
larger amount, and they have needed
that advice so well that the average in
surance per man Is ssOS5. To provide
himself and his dear ones with the Sc
curity OF a $4,000 policy means that

TNHEN l turned right about
face and enjoyed a few
minutes fragrant forget
fulness of the world and its
cares, as I literally nosed about
among the toilet goods; sniff
fing at soaps and marveling
how one store could keep so
many kinds, from the plain
cake for the proletariat bath,
up the various steps Of luxury
until one actually reaches soap
sublimation. / saw all the
famous Queen Mary perfumes
and preparations we girls are
so crazy about, and the equally
famous imported preparations
whose names l can now run off
as glibly as if / had "used no
othe~ since," and examined all
the seductive things in glitter
ing bottles that have allured the
heart Of woman since Rosa
mond hankered for the famous
purple jar.
/ vow, / never knew before
how many little niceties for the
refined woman's toilette there
were; nor how many kinds Of
brushesl
Nor how huge and fluffy
sponges can be.
Nor how many people could
come to a single counter to
buy "his" travelling or utility
toilet case. Just little remin-
der on how many of our men
are in service, and how, from
uniform to toothbrush, they can
be equipped at Wanamaker's.
That reminded me at once Of
the khaki Service stationery"
somebody had asked me to look
about for, since they make and
sell it exclusively at Wanna
makers. I was nightly pleas
ed with it and with the whole
artistic display Of fine station
cry that I found at my elbow.
Nothing will ever make me
like writing letters, but if I
owe anybody a letter it might
make me write it, if I received
as a gift for my next birthday
a huge box Of that dainty sta
tionery that Wanamaker's have
so much of and 1 so little Of.
That's a hint to friends. Gold
color preferred.
And if you know anybody
who is noble enough to like let
ter-writing, I'd suggest that
she be rewarded with some of
those elegant desk fittings, sill
yer, enamel, brass, lacquer, etc.
Of which there's such a splen-
did selection there.
And, then, passing through
the archway into the center of
the Grand Court, 1 forgot that
anybody had ever lunehed or
done anything, save give him
self or herself for the Grand
Old Stars and Stripes.
l tell you, it was an inspir-
ing sight. That beautiful
Court was so full Of people
standing and applauding, that
you couldn't see the floor Of
Tennessee marble. Those classic
columns, rising white and
cleaning above the graceful
marble arches which I've al
ways so admired, were hung
most beautifully with tiers Of
flags Of our Allied nations, and
the Great Organ draped with
the best flag Of all.

teresting things on the counters
and in the cases. l began to
see the wonderful connection
between them and the things
and the service that such a
Store as this Wanamaker es-
tablishment gives them.
Everyone seemed to have his
errand, and everyone was
waited on 80 quietly and
promptly not officiously or
with any fawning.
That's the advantage Of a
great Store like Wanamaker's.
The salespeople don't try to
read your thoughts before you
have any, or supply your needs
before you've decided what
they are.

legged Mr.. Hobbs, who used to
keep the dry goods store on the
main street. When she entered
it, he swooped down on her
with, "Walk this way, Madam"
and she snapped out:
THANK you, | prefer my own
manner Of walking"
While / was thinking these
pleasant thoughts the Great
Organ began playing, softly at
first, then swaying into stronger
and more beautiful strains. I
was delighted-for my oppor-
tunities to hear the great organ
had been few. Soon it was
playing the "Star-Spangled
Banner" and I, with others,
was standing up, and even sing
ing with them, until l heard
someone say:
"A lovely finish for the busi-
ness day, isn't it?"
/ realized that I had lost
another train.
/ realized also that I did not

train that would do, and I had
heard the largest organ in the

their sensible loops for carry
