STANDARD
SHOWS LARGE GAINS.


Elsewhere in The Daily Times
there appears the fifteenth annual
statement of the Jefferson Standard
Life Insurance company. BY just a
little study, the business man, the
think man, can CLEAN from the

his heart and cast a more brilliant
radiance of hopefulness upon the fu-
ture. It isn't just an assembling of
figures; it is record of achievement
in which the people of North Caro-
lima, and of the south, can share
the pride of those pioneers among
the south's industrial builders who
constitute the guiding genius of the
Jefferson Standard.
Before digesting the statement in
detail, it is well for the analyst to
consider condition as they existed
during the past year-conditions
that affected every line of business
anu luuuSITy, causing
that in many cases touched radical
points. For the insurance people gen.
orally, it was year rendered more
difficult by reason of the heavy new
writings of the preceding year. Ev-
eryone at all familiar with life in
surance knows that new business is
the most costly of all; that COM
pany, without careful handling,
might literally be swamped by new
bushes to the point Of extinction
Nothing could be worse, therefore,
than an exceedingingly good year,
from the standpoint of new insur-
ance. followed by one adversely af-
fecting business perhaps long writ

Closing 1921, the hardest of all
years, this annual statement of the
Jefferson Standard discloses that it

LOU TELLECEN IN
tsBLIND YOUTH

Lou Tellegen whose rare dramatic
powers, it is conceded, give him one
of the leading places on the Ameri-
can stage, will on Tuesday January
31st, present himself (in person) and
his own cmpoany at the Wilson The
atre in an elaborate revival of his
greatest America success Blind
Youth" the comedy drama in three
acts, which ran four months at the
3sth. Street Theatre in New York
City, and in which he firmly estab-
lished his stellar claims.
The play is from the pens of Will
lard Mack and Mr.. Tellegen and one
of the pronounced hits several years
ago, receiving the encomiurns of the
entire press of the large cities, the
star creating many new admirers
for his remarkable portrayal of the
central character in which his sue
cess was even greater than that of
his first appearance in this country,
which was as leading man with
Nine. Sarah Bernhardt, who brought
him over here.
It deals with an incident that hap
pened to a fellow artist of Mr..
Tellegen's when the star was still a
pupil of the great Rodin of Paris,
and through whose efforts he obtain
ed admission to the Conservatoire;
its locale is the latin quarter of the
French Metropolis and New York
and while it's story is. gripping and,
intense it is not tenebrous, on the
contrary, it is life-like; it has it's
moments of laughter as well as of
pain, and it has its moral.
For this, his trans-continental tour
Mr.. Tellegen has engaged an excel
lent supporting cast, and has given
the play an entire new setting. which
is an exact counterpart. of that util-
lzed during the long runs of the play

its gain amounted to almost three
millions of dollars; in reserves, over
two and a quarter millions; and in
/, insurance in force, well over two
millions!
It's surplus reserve fund now, for
/ distribution to policyholders during
i1922, amounts to over $465, 5,O0O-a
full provision for this outlay: and,
be it said, something of which not a
great many companies can boast, the
fund held awaiting apportionment
upon deferred dividend policies liz al
most 100000. And it's total reserves
amount up to almost $15.OOO,0O0.
The Jefferson Standard closed the
year 1921 with total of insurance
lin force of over $165,0OO,O00; and
insurance issued during the year,
paid for basis, amounted to over $40,
100000. The conservation and excel
|lence of the management OF the COM
pany's affairs are indicated in the
fact that the rates of actual to expect
ed mortality was just 81 per cent:
and further, the rate Of interest earn
ed on mean invested assets was a
fraction over per cent.
1t has ever been the policy of the
jefferson Standard to lend it's full in
fluence to development of the re-
sources of the south by lending all
funds derived from it's premium in

income is derived. An item of the an
nual statement, therefore, that is of
far more than passing interest is that
the company has first mortgage real
estate loans of over ten millions of
dollars.
From the modest beginning in
1907 of $1,65O,7OO insurance in
force, and growing to it's present
proud estate with over 100000
in force, the Jefferson Standard is a
bulwark of the business life, not on
ly of the city but of the state and
the south. 1t made payments to pol
icy-holders during the past year in
excess of a million and three-quar-
ters; and since its organization has
paid out to policyholders approx
mately eight and half millions.

TEACHERS IND0RSE
HIGHER EDUCATION.

Some three hundred teach
ers gathered from seven CEN
trail Texas counties which are
filled with rural schools met
recently in Austin. While
there they adopted a resolu-
ton urging the legislature to
adopt a liberal policy" to-
wards the support of higher
education in Texas. They
took a firm stand in support
of higher education adequate
for the Texas University and
its several cooperative
branches. This did not deter
them, however, from also
urging the Legislature to in
crease the scholastic appor-
tionment for schools in the
state.

VARIED CLIMATE IN
TEXAS.

Because of the great va
riety of topography of Texas,
which has not only broad,
level prairies, fertile valleys
and high elevated plateaus,
some of which are 5000 to
1000 feet above sea level, the
climate of Texas has great
variety. A large portion of
the state is swept by the gulf
breezes which make the sum-
mers endurable and even en-
joyable, and the winters
more mild and equable. The
average elevation is $50 feet,
there being a gradual eleva-
ton from the sea one hun
bred miles inland with a sue
cession of hills, plateaus and
prairies, until an elevation of
more than four thousand feet
is attained in the Panhandle.
In the western part of the
state there are several noun
tain peaks which attain a
height of from 5000 to 5000
feet.

EFFICIENCY OF BRUSHES IN THE
KITCHEN.

The efficiency with which kitchen
is kept in order depends largely on care
ful planning and the proper use of the
available equipment. How much easier
il is to keep the stove free from crumbs
and soil by removing them with a brush
which has handle Surely every house
keeper thinks it is more agreeable than
using a soiled, blackened cloth for this
purpose. Bristles also keep the little
corners around the nickel trimmings
clean, just as they do the open door, and
the gas or kerosene burners.
Securing brushes lessen the work in
keeping bread, cake and cutting boards
clean. Vegetable brushes work wonders
in washing the food, while dish washing
without brush--well, it is drudgery.
The potato ricer, food crater, cut
glass. metal frames of casseroles and
planks. and the plank itself. are washed
easily with the aid of bristles. Milk bot
ties and all containers with narrow
mouths are cleaned with bottle brush.
| use little percolator brush not only
in cleaning the percolator, but also in
washing the spout of the teapot, the vim
egar cruet and the different parts of the
food grinder. With another small brush
the silver is cleaned and polished, since
bristles reach the grooves which cloth
cannot touch the bristles are soft, so the
silver is not scratched.
Stiff bristles attached TO handle TO
give purchase are effective in cleaning
the ice rack in the refrigerator. A SINH
lar brush has a place in my house for
keeping the garbage pail clean. A brush
with long handle is the only way the
drain pipe in the refrigerator can be
cleaned

AGED WOMAN ENTERS
UNIVERSITY.

Columbia College has an
unusual student in Mrs. A. p.
Crawford. widow of a metho-
dist minister, mother of five
children, and many times a
grandmother. Although she
has passed her seventy-first
birthday, Mrs. Crawford has
been taking the summer
course at Columbia in philos-
ophy, literature and the con-
servative radical and reac-
tionary tendencies in present
day morals.
She declares that she is
not old and does not intend
TO become so. and that the
rapidly changing times de-
mand new viewpoints on
which IL is the duty of the
woman Of today to be well
informed, simply as a mat
ter of good citizenship.
Mrs. Crawford declares
also that the word "flapper"
is without discrimination,
that the girls of today absorb
more knowledge and are pos
sessed of a broader intelli-
gence than the school girls of
her generation.
Mrs. Crawford was a Vas
sar student about fifty years
ago, and taught school before
she married. Five of her
children are men now, three
of them teachers, and a
grandson graduated in June
from the University of North
Carolina. l.. W. Crawford, a
son, is assistant director of
the summer session at Co
lumbia.
