stricken condition of herself and little
ones. Oh, why had she not foreseen
the fearful state of affairs that had
fallen upon her little home?
With view of determining the fl
nancial condition confronting her, she
seated herself at her husbands desk
and began to look over his papers.
She found receipts for bills paid in
the past, a small Aote or two in her
husbands favor, and several other
papers of no financial value to her.
Then there was the bill just received
from the physician who had attended
her husband during his illness and
the. undertaker's Icharge was yet to
be paid. All the property left by the
deceased. would be sufficient to pro-
vide fer the family for only a few
weeks. TheNpoor widowed mother gave
way to grief, sorrow and despair.
After sobbing as though her heart
would break she dried her tears and
was on the point of arising from the
desk when she noticed an envelope
she had not previously seen. She was
sure she had never seen it during
her husbands Iifetime., With WEAKNESS
born of despair she slowly drew out
the contents of the envelope. A first
glance did not arouse her interest
but when she read the name of the
Prudential Insurance Co., her heart

document with trembling fingers and
read with unbelieving eyes, the name

that the Prudential Insurance Com

A JOYFUL SURPRISE

She realized now, as never before,
the hardships of widokhood. Only a
few days before, she land her small
children had followed the remains of
the husband and father to the last
resting place. Everything had been in
a tangle since the fatal sickness of
the father and grief and sorrow had
left her untitled for studying the
great problem that now confronted
~4TeE--the problem oftproyiding a living
for herself and her little children. Now
she had Gained her troubled mind
sufficiently to begin the study Of plans
to keep the wolf from the door. Her
husband had furnished ample provi-
sions for tha\needs Of the family while
he was in gNOd health but with the
coming of sickneEs, his wages had
ceased and debts had accumulated.
Her mind went bBck over the past and
realized, with al guilty pang, that
much could havf Been saved but had
been wasted. SE ( thought. also, of her
husbands wanting toNprovide for the
future welfare bf his faHQily by means
of life insurance. She had opposed
this, saying that Insurance.. agents
wer a nuisance. Of course, her~hus-
band had always respected her opin-
ions ard she felt sure that she had
carried her point concerning insur-
ance. But now she thought it possible
that she had made a mistake in OPP
posing her husband. A policy would
go far toward relieving the poverty

ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR
THE LIBERTY MOTOR
Army Planes Whix Over Glaciers and
Wooded Wildernesses

Ford-built Liberty motors carried
the four army airplanes which on Oc-

journey from Mitchell Field, Long
Island, to Nome, Alaska, and return,
The fleet was greeted over New York
City by a flotilla of 40 army planes.
which escorted it to Mineola. The
returning planes touched their wheels
to earth at 3:15 in the, afternoon.
The Alaska flying expedition, com
manded by Captain st. Clair Street.
undertook the journey to demon

planes mad motors. and to effect the
establishment of an aerial route to
the northwestern corner of the Amer
, lean continent and Asia. Such q
route would bring mail from Alaska
to the states in two or three days,
whereas the present method of trans
mission requires 80 days.
"TallN about SERVICE" said Captain
Street. CHOSE planes and motors
sure stood up. Why, the only trouble
we had on the entire trip was cause l
by the worst bit of weather I've ever
flown through or want to fly through
We had everything-rain.s snow, hail
and sleet, clouds, fog and mist. Blu.
We kept right on flying.
1.-THE 230 miles of glaciers we trav-
ersed was a wonderful sight, but
there would have been little hope for
rescue had we cracked up-in that will
derness. Altogether, 1t was rough
, trip. I never want to fly through
such weather again. but the planes
stood It magnificently. Instead Of
battered hulks, Hopping to earth
after winded flight. they looked
brand new. Even the turnbuckles
were polished and the motors looked
as II they had just come on the test

Never a cylinder missed on US the en-
tire trip. The motors are in as good
condition today as when we set OUT
Before the fight, all the pilots
asked for ships equipped with Ford
made Liberty motors.
Due to the nature Of the work
which engaged the expedition.
the fleet required period Of
three months to complete the
trip. Since all of the original motors
completed the journey without re-
pairs or requirements, this is be-
lieved to be a record for aerial navi-
cation. It will be recalled that dur
ing the war. it was generally the prac-
tice to overhaul the airplane motors
after approximately each 20 hours of
fight.
