NEW FRATERNITY ORGANIZED AT
 CARNEGIE TECH

Pittsburgh, Dec. 20.-An honor fra ternity to be known as the Delta Phi Alpha, has been organized in the School of Life Insurance Salesman ship of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, here, the first of its kind in the country.
 Membership in the fraternity is based on merit, the organization holding the same relative position to the insurance profession" the stu dents say, as the other honor profes- sional fraternities have held to the legal, medical and teaching profes- sions.
 The fraternity men have been pledged to cooperate for the attain ment of the following ideals:
 We are dedicated to the ideal of service. We believe the insurance man has an important professional responsibility which does not ter minate with the lifetime of his client. but which extends thereafter to his an active interest in all welfare movements of the community, cease tessIy combating those conditions which make for general failure and unhappiness.'
 The fraternity proposes that it's mem bers shall work for the eIim- inatOn of all agents who lack the spirit of cooperation and unseIfish- ness so essential to the right prac- tice of this profession
 It is proposed to require that life insurance men must give their whole time to the profession, thus elim- mating part time men and the so- called insurance peddlers and that applicants for solicitors license shall undergo a thorough examina- tion before such license is issued"

Save Oil For Use
 In Future Conflicts

London, Dec. 20-Rear Admiral Philip Dumas expresses the belief that the world is not through with war.
 Save the oil, take care Of it and preserve it,'' he advised the Institu- tion of Petroleum Technologists the other day. If for nothing else we shall require it for the wars of the future, which. believe me, will come despite the efforts of the late army of geniuses in Paris to make future wars imp possib1e.
 This has been a war waged large ly on oil. The next one will be nearly wholly so anu 9ismarck's dictum of blood and iron" brought up to date will read blood and oiP.''
