inducements For Soldiers To Retain
Insurance

Insurance.
The Bureau Of War Risk Insur-
ance is working out more liberal
provisions for inclusion in term pol
icies taken out by men in military
service, in an effort to induce them
to retain their insurance after re-
turning to civilian life.
The term policies may be con-
tinued for five years after discharge
from service, and at any time dur
to ordinary life, endowment, or 20
year policies, the premiums on
which will be considerably higher.
postoffices probably will be one fea-
ture.
Opportunity to make the policies
payable in a lump sum to the bene-
ttciaries, instead Of extending the
payment over a term of years, may
not be granted. despite the general
approval which greeted previous
announcement that such feature
would be incorporated into the pol
icies. The annuity system Of pay
ments was written into the war pol
icies as substitute for pensions,
and especially asa mean of safe
guarding inexperienced widows from
promoters Of doubtful get-rch-
quick chemes.
The task of getting into touch
with the holders Of war risk insur-
ance is one Of the biggest ever I'M
dertaken by the government. With
100000 policyholders the expense
of reaching each one with an argu
ment as to the value of keeping out
his insurance will reach several mil
lion dollars.

Polish Easter Ego Custom.

An interesting Easter egg custom
prevails in Poland. On Easter Mon
day every head Of house, man or
woman, presents each visitor on his
call with a hard-boiled egg, or. rather,
the half of one. The head Of the
house divides the egg. gives half to
the caller. and eats with him the
other part. The custom has such a
hold on the people that the mobiles.
even when living far away from the
fatherland, observe 1t. Many years
ago Prince Csartoryski was in resi-
dence in Paris. when he held the usual
reception ON Easter Monday. receiv-

style with each visitor. who ate Il een-

WANTS NO ARTIFICIAL PROOF
Believing Christian Can Entertain Nc
Doubt Concerning the Resurrec-
tIon Of the Savior.

To the normal mind there can be
no compromise, writes 81. Lee Mills In
the Houston Post If Christ did not
rise from the dead, the most gigantic
fraud in the history Of the world was
perpetrated and every minister Of the
Gospel is either conscious or de-
luded "faker." II there was no res
direction, the whole missionary propa-
ganda Is foolish and failure and
evangelize and "Barnumize" become
synonymous terms. Does the history
Of Christian missions, from the first
to the twentieth century SAVIOR Of
fraud, or even of delusion? The com
mand to evangelize all nations was Civ.
en- after the resurrection. .
After all the arguments have been
marshaled before human reason for or
against the return Of Christ in the
glorifed body, the question Of does
Jesus live can be answered by the be-
lieving Christian without artificial
proof. II like Paul, he knows whom
he believes, doubts about the details
Of the event Of the resurrection do
not concern him.

OF PAGAN orIoIn.

Some of the customs Of many lands
have had their origin in paganism. Pa
gan customs celebrating the return Of
spring easily gravitated to Easter. The
coloring Of eggs is found in both Latin
and oriental countries. The egg Is the
emblem Of the terminating life Of
early spring. The symbolic meaning
Of a new creation Of mankind by Jesus
risen from the dead was probably an
invention of later times. In this coun-
try the day Is most widely known 70,
the elaborate services In the churches.
Those who have observed strictly the
rules Of Lent are not alone In observ-
ing Easter as day Of feasting.

The Hare and Easter.

The origin Of the Easter rabbit is
unknown. There is German legend
to the effect that the hare was origi-
nally a bird and was changed Into q
quadruped by the Goddess Ostara. and
in gratitude to Ostara, or Eastre, the
hare exercises its original bird func-
ton to lay eggs for the goddess on her
festal day. The children among the
Pennsylvania Germans are told on Eas-
ter morning that this "Oshter has"
laid the colored eggs that are given
to them, or which are placed In nests
at some convenient place for the chit
dren to nnd them.

greatest service to Florida in connec-

During the early fall it is expected

nation on conditions of Florida roads.
Early in the fall we will want all the
pictures of Florida roads we can get
that will entice the tourist
Southward-pictures that will show
him that If he really expects to see
all Florida in the right manner he
must bring his car.
