WAR RISK INSURANCE

The committee headed by Charles
Evans Hughes to offer suggestions for
the Improvement of the War Risk In
surance Bureau has submitted some
specific recommendations that are
worthy of immediate consideration.
Policies have been written for about
100000 men, three-fourths of whom
have not continued their payments
since leaving the service and have
thus lost the opportunity to secure
life insurance at very low premium.
Tie government has arranged to
carry these war policies forward at a
premium lower than any insurance
company could afford. That so manv
ed, is due to lack of knowledge of
what it involves. The bureau has been
unable to communicate with many of
the men because their addresses are
incorrect.
The Hughes committee has reported
that the first thing to be done is to get
into closer touch with the discharged
soldiers through cooperation of state
and municipal officials, the Red Cross,
American Federation of Labor and
other organizations that have proved
efficient and willing during the war.
The committee also recommends
branches of the bureau in every state
to keep in personal contact with its
policy holders, a publicity campaign
ID inform the discharged men of the
opportunity and finally enactment of
legislation authorizing the bureau to
COZ duct its affairs ION business prin-
cipies."
The success or failure of the bu-
reaI is in the balance. If the dis
charged soldiers. sailors and marines
do not take advantage of the oppor-
turity afforded them, the success OF
the bureau during the war will oe
lessened by its failure to carry olt
after the warsthe generous intention
of Congress.

BUTTERFLY DAYS

We are now in the languid butter
fly and locust days of July. We are
at the noontide of the calendar. A
sultry stiffness holds the world; the
birds are too lazy to sing in the heated
air. The rains have ceased save for
an occasional thunderstorm. The
woods are deep in the shadow of COM
pleted foliage, roads and paths grow
dusty and the rambler seeks the wa
ter courses. The tall cottonwood
trees gently float their soft balls of
cotton in the hazy air and predict the
mellow, golden fall that is to come.
The musicians of the forest are
hushed. They are no longer inspired
by the eagerness of courtship. The
season of nesting is finished and the
male songster is away by himself in
selfish freedom or else is busy help
ing the little mother feed and guard
the fiedglings, whose peeping is heard
along every roadside. This is the
main reason for the comparative 81
lence.
1t is July-the heyday of insect life.
Threading the aisles of the miniature
forest of grass and herbiage beneath
our feet, searching the bark and
thronging amid the foliage of trees, or
burrowing beneath the ground, in
sects are active and innumerable.
July, the seventh month of the Gre
gorian calendar and the fifth month
of the old, is the month of Julius,
named after julius Caesar. 1t was
the fifth month in the original Latin
year, which before Numa began with
March. The name was changed to
July by the proposal of Mark Antony.
in honor of julius Caesar, who was
born the twelfth of this month. The
Roman name for it was Quintilius.
The Anglo-Saxons called it mead
month because the meads were then
in bloom. and also the latter mild
month June being known as the
earlier mild month Charlemagne
gave it the name of hay month"; for
it is the month fragrant with the har-
vest of hay.
July is the hottest month of the
year. The days are long and torpid.
July is the only month of thirty-one
days that is followed by another month
of equal length.
July is the birthday of the inde-
pendence of two republics; July
Fourth for America and July Four
teenth for France.
