COMPLETE FIRE
INSURANCE REPORT

Members of the fire insurance COM
mittee OF the Chamber of Commerce,
which has been investigating fire in

noon and practically completed their
labors. A report, which the commit
tee has been preparing, will be sub
mitted to A. ID. Warner. Jr.. president
OF the Chamber of Commerce. when he
returns from brief vacation which
he is spending at Randalia.
Not until the report is made public

be no misunderstanding about the
figures. because Chairman Charles III
Ten weeges of the local committee i'm
duced the underwriters to supplement
talks with the committee with the sta
tistics in writing.
One of the things that will be hard
for the general public to understand
is that Wilmington has been enjoying
a rate, owing to competition, that has
been abnormaliy low, so insurance mer
say. Now with the heavy losses al
last year and the completion OF the
survey conducted here by the under
writers. a base rate has been estab-
hshed here that is the same in other
cities of this district, so that Whining
ton will not in the future be favored
or Disseminated for or against.
According to information which tho
insurance brokers give. the residential
sections. schools and churches viii not
be affected. unless there is some con-
tributing hazard in the way of ad1oin-
ing or surrounding property.
One thing that is essential for every
property owner to realize is that ever,
property Is rated on its own FIRE Hst
and not by any set rule. Because O
that fact. il would be wise move fo
each property owner TO make sepa
rate and personal inquiry OF his in
surance broker, 10 determine where h
stands. Perhaps there are some iso

the rate is higher because of som
surrounding hazard. In any event
ii would be a good business move {
make a personal investigation an
learn from the insurance broker
there is to be any additional charge i

So far as known, the Increased rate
of insurance will apply only to com
mercial properties. and in many case
the rate can be lowered if the owne

or may not be possible for me and M
family to continue to reside at Welbeck,

that those who come after me will not be
able to do so."
On all sides historic houses, are finding
new tenants and ancient families are

The Duke of Devonshire sold Devon

Welbeck Abbey is famous for the sub

by the Duke of Portland at a cost of

The abbey has an underground riding

persons.
There is a subteuanean ballroom 15S

AN ENEMY OF MAN

The greatest enemy of the human race
is fear.
If we could Danish fear in all its forms.
it would mean more to civilization than
any previous step in evolution. Heath
would be immeasurably improved; much
unhappiness would be wiped out; efficiency
would be greatly increased, and success
would be the rule. With the removal of
fear, would come real human brotherhood.
True democracy would begin.
If you are not as well, as happy, as
efficient or as successful as you would like
to be, you may find the why in your fears.
GAS man thinketh in his heart, so is
he"-physicalH, in disposition and in cir
cumstances. Fear-thought is~ toxic, de-
structive and harmful, hatred, jealousy,
despair, anger, melancholy, discourage
ment, depression, confusion, negativeness,
nervousness, fretfulness, self-consciousness,
lack of self-confdence and foreboding.
Fear Of failure is also caused by not
thinking well enough of ones SELF To
Danish this and all other forms of fear,
one needs another kind of thinking. Re-
place fear-thoughts with faith-thoughts
and Systematically cultivate the new line
of thinking until it gets TO be habit.
Take mental inventory today! Seek
out your hidden mental weaknesses and
expose them to the light of fearless
analysis. Get to work upon your fears
and run them out. Flood your whole men,
tai region with faith.
Repeat daily and the results will amaze
you.-Selected.

1t is weak to be scared at difficulties,
seeing that they generally diTinish as they
are approached, and oftenthnes even en-
tirely vanish. Nosman can tell what he
can do till he tries. Confidence of success
is almost success, the obstacles often fall
of themselves before determination to
overcome them. There is something in
resolution which has an influence beyo Il

ENGLISH ESTATES CRUMBLING

England's, great estates are crumbling
under the weight of taxation and death
duties, and one big landed proprietor after
another among the nobility is dividing
and selling his holdings, many of which
have been in the hands of single families
for centuries.
The latest indication that peers are
finding it necessary to seek smaller homes
comes in the announcement of the Duke
of Portland that he may have to abandon
his palatial mansion, Welbeck Abbey, in
Nottingshamshire.
This is only one of the residences of the
duke, who owns some 100000 acres in
England.
"For centuries past landed estates have
been handed down from generation to
generation," said the Duke, addressing his
tenants on the occasion of the coming age
of his son, Lord Francis Cavendish. "Land-
lords and tenants have lived on terms of
mutual trust and affection. fear, how
. ever, that the state of things is passing
away for, with the present weight of
taxation and the extremely onerous inc.-
dents of death duties, the future may be-
come very uncertain for all landed pro-
prietors. If this is good for the country,
certainly do not complain.

John Coleman, who has been superin-
tendent of the Anoka state hospital for the
insane since 1900, has been appointed
member of the state board of control to
succeed DR.. P. A. Hilbert. Governor
Preus, could not have selected better man
to fill DR.. Hilbert's place. John Coleman,
in his management of the large hospital
at Anoka, has demonstrated that he has
exceptional executive ability. During the
twenty-one years he has been superinten-
dent of that institution, he has acquired
vast fund of information which will be an
invaluable asset in his new position.
Moreover his friends know that he is not
to be measured by his official qualifca-
tons alone. 1t is his characteristics as
man that undoubtedly have made him so
successful in his work at Anoka. A man
tc whom is to be entrusted the care of our
unfortunate and hopelessly afflicted, should
be more than Efficient; he should be hu-
manly kind. Those who have visited the
hospital at Anoka and have seen the su-
perintendent administering the duties of
his Office and moving about among the
inmates of that institution, know that he
always treated them with the kindness and
consideration of father or brother. He
was his brothers keeper and he was ever
faithful to the trust. 1t is most fortunate
that John Coleman is to be placed in a
position of greater responsibility because
the state can then receive more benefit
from his services.-Princeton Union.

SACAGAWEA, "THE BIRD WOMAN"
SCOUT

In the Portland (Ore.) city park stands
the statue of an Indian woman. A little
baby is strapped on her back and her hand
is outstretched to the west, toward the
Pacific ocean. The statue is that of
Sacagawea, "The Bird Weman," the six
teen-year-old girl scout and guide who led
Lewis and Clark over the Shining Noun
tains" to the "Everywhere-Salt-W Water" to-
ward which her hand points.
When Lewis and Clark visited the
Hidatsa Indians in North Dakota on their
great exploring trip west, they found
Shoshone girl living with that tribe. When
she was fourteen year old, Toussaint
Charbanneau, French Canadian trapper,
won her from her captor in a game of
"hide- -the-bone" and married her the next
year.
The Bird Woman wished to return to
her people and Lewis and Clark engaged
Charbonneau and his wife as interpreters
to the Indians they would meet During
the winter of 1905 Sacagawea gave birth
to son, whom she called Baptiste, and
this tiny papoose went with his dauntless
mother through all the hardships which
the explorers afterward endured. He was
strapped on Sacagawea's back one day
when the clumsy Charbanneau upset one
of the boats containing the precious in
struments and records of the party. The
Bird Woman at once sprang overheard
into .he muddy stream and rescued them
More than once Sacagawea proved her
value to the explorers. Far up the river
when the forest and snow bafled her
companions and they were lost, the hom-
ing instinct of the Indian girl led her on
and she guided them safely to her people.
The chief who welcomed them proved to
be Sacagawea's brother, who was over
joyed to see his lost sister again. He sold
the white men much-needed horses-and
would have stolen them back, had not the
Bird Woman betrayed the plot to Captain
Lewis.
Sacagawea remained with Lewis and
Clark until they reached the Pacific. On
their return journey she stopped with h.r
people, the Shoshones, and there she spent
the remainder of her days. She died on
the Wind River reservation in Wyoming
April 9, 1894, almost hundred years of
age.-Ex.
