Insuring Matrimony-1.
BIZ DoROTHT DIX
sd-s 1d1gheSs PAla Woman WI


1t is announced that one of the big
insurance companies is going to un-
derwrite matrimony, and doubtless, IN
the future, when a young couple take
out their marriage license, they will
also take out an insurance policy on
their domestic felicity at the same
time.
This may not be romantic. but it is
undoubtedly prudent, for when loves
young dream goes to smash, there is
to fall back upon. OF course. no
money can pay for the broken hopes
and blasted illusions of a marriage
that turns out badly, but it is sadly,
edy is so efficacious in assuaging the
ache of a broken heart as a poultice
of the long green.
This feature of the affair will ap-
peal particularly to women, for, I'M
less woman has money of her own,
when she marries she backs her luck
with all that she has got. She is a
plunger who risks everything on her
one best bet because she gives to mar
rage, and the making of a home, her
youth, and strength, and enthusiasm,
and the time in which she could be
getting start in some Self-supporS-
ing occupation.
If, then, her marriage turns out q
failure, it is a double tragedy because
she not only loses her husband, but
her home, andN her means of 1iveli-
hood. In the case of divorce. the
courts may allow her a pittance of ali
mony which it generally takes a fe-
male Shylock to collect, Is there is no
other debt that a man pays so grudg-
ingly as what he owes to his ex-wife.
Nor is there any other money that
ever comes to a woman that seems so
tainted, and unclean to her.
Therefore, women will hail with joy
the sporting chance offered by the
marriage insurance. It's an anchor to
the windward in case of storm. The
woman, herself, helps to throw 1t out
when the skies are bright, so the COM
pensation she gets for the loss of the
affection of a tickle husband comes to
her impersona1ly, and she is not
forced to feed on the crumbs that fall
from the table of the woman who has
gotten him. And that saves her face
Just how the matrimonial insurance
is to function has not yet been made
public, but it is easy to see how it may
be as beneficial psychologically as it
is materially. It may really assure
ma rriges by insuring them.
Before you can insure your life, you
must undergo a thoro examination by
medical men who must at
test that you have no disease. If you
have tuberculosis, or cancer, you can
get no insurance. If you wish to in
sure your house, that also is examined
by experts, and you can get no insur
ance if it is improperly wired, or you
if in any way it is not a good risk.

to us than any country of Europe
or even all Europe put together.
Every aspect of the situation is be-
ing studied by government trade ex-
perts and this winter it is expected
some important reports will be sub
mitted and possibly legislation will be
offered looking to facilitating trade.
During the last session of congress
one step was made in the enactment
of the Dyer China trade act. This
provides for the American incorpora-
tion of companies doing business in
China. Heretofore, there was no way
there, to obtain American charters
and many of them were compelled
to take out British charters.
An effort is to be made to give
American traders in China certain ex-
emptions from taxation which will
encourage them to develop the mar
ket.
1t will L remembered that in the
early days of our foreign trading, the
New England sailing masters took
their ships out to China with cargoes
of miscellaneous manufactures and
brought back rich silks, tea and many
another commodity. When the fast
sailing clipper ship was developed, the
China voyage was made from Boston,
New Bedford, Salem, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore in so
short a space of time that the sea-
faring world gasped. In those days,
the ships sailed across the Atlantic
and around the Cape of Good Hope.
Now the American-China trade will
move from the Atlantic coast thru
the Panama canal and direct across
the Pacific from west coast ports!

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS.
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am hign
school girl, eighteen years old, ana
have been going with young man OF
the same age. When school opened
this year this boy seemed to IKE me
right away. He would sit and look AT
me in class and after a week he asked
if he might come to see me. That was
the beginning and before we Knew
each other long he wrote me letters,
telephoned every day and came over
about three times week, Just as often
as my father would let him. He told
me that he loved me and asked me
not to go with any other boy. He also
talked Of the time we would be mar
ried, but he never asked me to marry
give me an engagement ring.
Now he has changed ana he fs act
ing the same way toward another
girl. 1 love him very much and it
breaks my heart to know that there is
some one else. He has not even ex-
planned to me, but just left me with
out a word. Do you think 1t would be
right for me to tell him to come over
because / want to talk to him, or
should I write letter and ask for an
explanation?
BROKEN
Neither ask him to come to see you
nor write him a letter. The fact that
he is so devoted to some one else is
explanation enough. 1t shows that he
is tickle and holds girls and love
lightly. A young man of deeper ma
ing himself, but once he expressed his
love it would mean more.
The only thing for you to do is to
forget this young man and in the
future he skepticaI of any one of the
love at-first-sight type.
