State: Insurance Shows Total / ia
Savings Of Is Per Cent Over.
Stock Companies.

~ NEW YORK, March 2f.-A divi-
!dend OF, 10 per cent has Just been de-
clared by the New York Insurance
fund administered, by the State In
dustrial commission. >s:s -
Since the rates OF the. state fund are
approximately Is per cent lower than
the rates OF the casualty companies,
the To- per- cent dividend makes the
final cost of insurance in the state
fund 25{ per cent lower than that
charged by stock liability companies.
~. The low cost Of providing. compen.
sation benefits to injured workers and
their families through the state fund,
it is pointed out, is made possible by
the elimination Of acquisition expenses
and stockholders profits. The ratio
Of management expenses to premium
receipt In the state fund was only z
per cent on the business Of 1918, while
in the stock liability I companies it
reaches an average of approximately
40 per cent.
The success of the state fund in
New York is in line with recent ex-
perience in other states, notably in
Ohio, where the exclusive state: fund
results in a saving Of millions Of dol
lars each year to industry while max
ing possible increasingly liberal bene-
fits for injured workers and their
dependents.
The American Federation OF Labor
has gone on record in favor OF the
complete exclusion Of rofit-taking
casualty companies from the field OF
workmen's compensation business,
Labor's demand has been strength
ened by the splendid showing just an
nounced by the New York state fund.

spent fortune to find out whether
the franchise of the company ran on
forever, expired in 1881, or if it had
not been forfeited because Of the fail
ure of the company to build a full
mile Of track away back in 1881. We
paid Senator Frank Kellogg 5000
to represent us in the case. And
about the only thing we got out of
it was a decision that the franchise
ran to 1881. That date has been defi-
nitely fixed, but the decision is Of lit

WHAT MIRO READ AT SCHOOL
Youngsters Initiation Int Culture
Was Made almost . Re.
llglous Mystery"

At school Miro was early impressed
with the vast dignity Of the literary
works and names he was compelled to
learn. Shakespeare and Goethe and
Dante lifted their plaster heads froyn-
ingly above the teachers as they perch
ed on shelves about the room. Much
was said of the greatness Of literature
But the art Of phonetics and the com
plications Of grammar swamped Miros
early school years. 1t was not until he
reached the high school that literature
began really TO assume that sacredness
which he had heretofore felt only for
holy Scripture, Randolph Bourne writes
In Yale Review. His initiation into
culture was made almost a religious
mystery by the conscientious and
harassed teacher. AS the "Deadwood
Boys" and David Harum" slipped
away from Miro's soul In the presence
of Millions "Comus," and Burke "On
Cancellation" q cultural devoutness
was engendered in him that never
really died. At first 1t did not take
Miro beyond the stage where your
conscience is strong enough to make
you uncomfortable. but not strong
enough to make you do anything about
1t. Mira did not actually become an
onnnivorous reader of great books But
nc was filed with a rich grief that the
millions pursued cheap and vulgar &c
ton instead Of the best that has been
thought and said In the world. Miro
Unfortunately bought cheap editions
Of the English classics and read them
with a certain patient Incompetence
inRneas.

sHoFAR IN HEBREW RITUAL
Wood instrument Dates Sack to the
Very Earliest Youth Of the
World.

Hebrew historians, with q special
eye Cor earl to the racial history, are
very proud of their shofar. They say
1t is the oldest form of wood wind In
strument in the world, that II was
used in the original Mosaic ritual.
It is the one musical instrument, says
DR.. Cyrus Adler, which has been pre-
served unbrokenly in that ritual.
There Is even theory, voiced by
Professor Steinthal, that the shofar
antedates the people OF Israel. BE
says 1t probably goes back to prehis-
toric times. And another investiga-
tor points out that 1t obviously came
first from folk solely dependent on
the growing of sheep.
This ancient rams horn instrument
was perhaps earliest used for the sig
nails of alarm which were SO neces-
sarily common in primitive society.
The Israelites then adapted 1t to their
religious services, and with such 1T
ting effect. that it has persisted
uniquely since the beginning.
But the Talmud indicates that, even
among the Hebrews, the shofar was
also developed into horn for CIV
Ing alarms. Fundamentally these
alarms would be Incidental to war.
Afterward, though the instrument was
blown in other seasons of danger or
distress. 1t warned of famine or OF
plague Of locusts or of drought. And
1t was employed in the public serV-
Ice of communication.
The children of Israel had other
horns which were used for musical
and ritualistic purposes, but this is
the only one which has survived.

SAYS the CROWN prlnoe SAFE.

Paris,-rhe council of five received
Thursday reply from Holland in an
swer to the councils note regarding
the reported escape from the island
of Wieringen of the former German
crown prince. The Dutch note, in
what was said to be rather curt terms,
pointed out that the rumor of the es-
cape was unfounded, and expressed
surprise at the warning given by the
council.
The Dutch government, the reply
added, is conscious of its internal or
legations and must be left free TO OK.

In which they were interested The
delegates considered the ACCESSIBILITY of
state farm bureau federation and
recommended to the county farm bu-
reaus that such an organization be
formed at later date.
The party was entertained by the
local farm bureau at dinner and sup
per at almost every county passed
through, while in southern California
the visitors were repeatedly met at
county lines by committees of women,
and boxes of oranges were literally
poured into the automobiles. The trip
closed, after covering 937 miles, with
a banquet at the mission inn at Riv-
erside. "Sights" were neglected in or

ence.
Benefits From Trip.
The farmers participating were
unanimous In approval Of the plan.
The automobile cost was met by the
college of agriculture and the farmer
delegates paid their own subsistence
expenses or 1t was met by their farm
bureaus. Aside from the practical val
ne OF the demonstrations and farm
practices observed the whole tone Of
county agent work In the state was
improved. Farm bureau officials re-
turned home with an enlarged outlook,
the county agents saw demonstrations
and organizations work under a va
riety Of conditions, and the people
of the counties visited were given an
enlarged vision Of the state and ma
tional extent of the work.
While such an extended trip is pos
slble only where roads are highly i'm
proved, the idea seems to be an excel
lent one, department OF agriculture Of
ficials believe, and similar. or less am
bilious trips doubtless could be
planned In number of the states with

WILSON DELIVERS
TREATY OF PEACE
NO VITAL PRINCIPLE SACRIFICED
IN PACT, DECLARES PREsl-
DENT WILSON
solons, Diplomats and Crowded Gal
Ieries Follow Closely as Message
is Delivered; Wilson Given Great
ovation When He Enters.

Washington The peace treaty, with
its league of nations covenant, was
laid before the senate Thursday by
President Wilson in an address &C.
counting to the country for his part IN
the negotiations at Versailles.
The league, declared the president,
was born of the conviction OF prac-
tical statesmen that an international
concert had become world necessity
to end the old order and guarantee
civilization. He asserted that in such
a concert the world looked confidently
to America for leadership, and added
that while the treaty might not be
exactly as the American delegation
would have written it, no vital prin-
ciple had been sacrificed by the nee
essary compromises.
The senate, already divided in a
bitter fight over the league proposal,
received the president with cheers and
listened to his words In grave silence.
When he had concluded there was
another burst of cheering until he had
passed out of the chamber and had
gone to his capitol office, where he
talked for an hour with senator's who
wished to ask about specific features
Of the treaty or of the negotiations.
In these conferences the president dis
cussed freely such subjects as the dis
position of Shantung, the German in
IDENTITIES and Irish freedom.
In his address, however, there was
no direct reference to many of the
questions around which senate debate
has centered, the President declaring
he could not construe details of the
treaty in a short address. He did not
directly mention the Monroe doctrine,
Shantung, or the obligations assumed
under article ten of the league COW
eDant, nor did he allude to the pro-
posal to write reservations into the
ratification. He asserted hope that
he would be given opportunity to dis
cuss details later either with the whole
senate or the foreign relations COM
mittee
"The treaty, as a result, is not ex-
actly what we would have written. 1t
is probably not what any one of the
national delegates would have written.
But results were worked out which, on
the whole, bear test. I think that it
will be found that the compromises
which were accepted as inevitable no.
where cut to the heart Of any prin-
clple."
In disregard of precedent, the SEN
ate received the address in open ses.
sion and afterward ordered that the
treaty be published in the Congress
sional Record and as public docu-
ment. The galleries were Overlooking

Aent when he arrived and departed
Many members of the house crowded

and most of the members of the cab
met were seated near the vice pres
ident's desk.
