Many men who have been paying heavy
premiums on life insurance policies paya-
BILE to their wives with the feeling that
whatever happens to them financially
their families by reason OF their large
life insurance will be cared for after
their death undoubtedly will be greatly
surprised to learn that under the present
decisions In this State there Is real
question as to whether q wife. In case
the husband dies insolvent, can retain
more insurance than $500 a year paid
for although the husband was perfectly
solvent when the premiums were paid.
For twenty-nine years solvent man
pays $1,000 or $4,000 or $4,000 year
premiums on life insurance payable to
his wife. In the thirtieth year he be-
comes bankrupt and dies. Can the hus-
bands creditors. whose debts arose in
the thirtieth year, recover the life In
surance above what $500 year, paid
during the previous twenty-nine years.
bought?
Or put 70 this way: A man buys his
wife a paid up insurance policy on his
falls In business and then dies. Can his
creditors get a large part or any part
Of the proceeds Of that paid up policy?
Well. those are serious questions.
i met a lawyer friend the other day
and he put similar questions to me. I
said to him that some years ago I had
examined the law on the subject and
concluded that no creditor of husband
could get any part of the insurance on
his life payable to his wife except one
whose debt was created before the pre-
fnium was paid. My friend said:
II hope you are right, but have just
such case and the counsel for the life
insurance company has ernphatically
taken the opposite view"
said to him: "It seems to me that
there is no reason why the position
taken by the insurance oompany's law
yer should be tho law. and it certainly
ought not to be the law. Suppose a
man while he was prosperous gave
his wife n home or a pearl necklace.
and ten years later failed in business.
could any one successfully question the
wife's title?"
He said mo-" but that the lawyer
for the life insurance company said that
the same principle did not apply to in
surance on the husbands life payable
to the wife.
Next day ! looked the matter up and
found that comparatively recent deci-
sions In this State furnished considers
BILE justification for the insurance COM
pany's lawyers stand.
In 1885 the Court of Appeals, New
York's highest court Goo N. Y. 372).
held In effect that no creditor could at
tack wife's Insurance on the husbands
life except one whose claim was cre-
ated before the premium was paid. That
decision. however, while not nominally
overruled, has certainly been weakened
II not actually overruled by subsequent
decisions.
A statute was passed In this State
which could have had but one object.
and that was to protect a mans family
to the very limit by giving even an
insolvent man the right to use $500 A
year to pay. for life insurance payable
&c his wife. This enactment which was
irtended TO be a means OF defence. has
been turned into an instrument of de-
struction. This statute. fixing the wife's
exemption from the claims Of the hus-
bands creditors with reference to in
surance on his life, payable to her, pro-

Japan and the Armament Plan.

In the press dispatches OF both the
Old World and the New World Japan
is made TO loom big as the possible
stumbling block In the path OF Presi-
dent HARprSo's plan for the iimita-
tion OF armaments. But when Japan
is pictured as the single objectcr or
doubter 1t is hard TO believe that
there is as much substance In this
widely advertised obstruction as there
is shadow.
II the other principal Allies are
as overjoyed as they declare they are
at the chance to come TO an agree
ment with the United States In this
matter of supreme importance 10 CIV
ilization it is incredible that Japan
of her own inspiration could hold
aloof. 1t is unthinkable that when
the other great sea Powers were pre-
pared to enter a naval coalition. as
they would be doing in fact. japan
would elect to have that door shut
IN her face.
For more than half a century ia
pans ambition to be included In the
international family of civilization
has been very passion OF desire and
appeal. There has been no sacrifice
too great for her to make in the In
creasing endeavor to gain not merely
in Far Eastern matters but in the
vaster affairs OF the whole globe a
national rank which would not be de-
MED. There has been no barrier too
high for her to scale In the abiding
resolve to reach the ground where
not the feebler Orientals but the
mightiest Occidentals stand.
The razor sharp intelligence OF the
Japanese statesmen who guide the
destinies of their empire could not
fail to know that for them, OF all the
sea Powers, to refuse to abandon sui
cidal military expenditures would
bring international ostracism In the
greater world, whatever was left to
them In their own. They could not fail
to know that their course would cause
their economic and financial ruin.
Japan, forfeiting her claims to the
cooperation and encouragement OF
this international family. could not
stay in the worlds industrial and
commercial marathon. Japan, out Of
the international family's sympathies
and programmes, could not build
ships enough to maintain an isolated
position without Immediate and ir-
reparable bankruptcy.
II, then, japan, the highly intelli-
gent, the unfalteringly aspiring, the
incomparably ambitious. should stand
against the Harding movement To
limit excessive armaments II scarcely
could be because Japan would dream
OF playing a lone hand. 1t surely
would be because Japan, Influenced
and steered by some dominating
Power or Powers in Europe, knew
that she would not be left solitary In
the final determination of this plan
for a new association OF nations.
Japan will go along with President
HARDrNG unless, to speak plain Ian.

feet from the ringside turned steadily

treated strip Of transparent material
was unwound behind swiftly open

strip, with an accuracy unattainable
by the keenest animal vision, every
motion Of every man In the squared
circle was recorded for all time. A
commonplace mechanical contrivance,

While this trip was in progress

route turned head to watch the horse

told by telephone, by radio and by
telegraph the name Of the winner OF
the contest; and to the world this
was a matter Of ordinary routine.
At the airdrome the package from
the ringside was entrusted to another
messenger, who took his place In a
hydroairplane. This conveyance, at
tracing little more attention than
had the wonder box at the arena or

can and Frenchman, watched the ap-
proach of the hydroairplane. its land
ing on the water, the delivery of It's
package and its resumption Of flight
with at least as much interest as
would have been stirred by the
launching Of whaleboat from their
vessel.
1t is easily within the bounds OF
practicability that the film should
have been developed In the dark room,
