THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
JUBILEE"

THOUGH a number of ety.
mologists maintain that this
word is derived from the Latin
Jubilare, to shout for joy, its
pedigree really antedates the
birth of the Latin language,
going back to the Hebrew, where
we find the word yobel, mean
ing literally the blast of a
trumpet, and by extension, the
year Of jubilation which was an
nounced by this trumpet.
According to the law In Levitt
tcus 25, this was an epoch
of general restoration and
emancipation, celebrated every
fifty years, when liberty was to
be proclaimed throughout the
land with the blowing of trum-
pets in the synagogue. During
this jubilee year the land was
not titled, all lands that had
been sold were returned to their
original owners or their heirs,
and all bondsmen of Hebrew
blood were liberated. n
The Christian church adopted
the term from the Jewish, and
In turn, number of secular gov
ernments took up the idea, the
jubilees of George III and
Queen Victoria being two of the
most famous In modern history.

Cisco.-A vein of what is declared to
be the richest calaverite quartz discov-
cred in the Cripple Creek district was
found in the Portland mine at the g
6O0-foot level, according to a recent
report. The vein is thought to be a
continuation of the ore found at the O.
450-foot level, but is declared richer
and stronger. 1t Is said to be the most
important discovery that has been
made in the Cripple Creek district in a
number of years.
Pueblo.-William Marmaduke, Is.

of the Minnequa hospital staff, was
perhaps fatally injured when he fell

ken arms and fractured skull.
Greeley.-The charred body of
Thomas G. Meeker, Lucerne farmer.
was found under the exhaust pipe of a
big gasoline engine on the Walter Carl
son farm at Lucerne, five miles north
Of Greeley recently, by Carlson. The
clothing was burned from the body and
the flesh over the chest and abdomen
badly scorched. Physicians who were
called said that Meeker had probably
died from asphyxiation from gasoline
fumes. When last seen by Carlson
Meekef was apparently in good health.
The gas engine was used to drive big

NATIONAL ENAMELING
DIVIDEND is PASSED
NeU Directors Decide Against
Payment on Common.

The quarterly dividend on the COM
mon stock Of the National Enameling
and Stamping Company was passed
yesterday by the new board of directors
elected at Tuesdays annual meeting
The company had been paying 6 per
ceent. a year in quarterly installments.
declaring full years dividends in ad-
vance. The four quarterly dividends
for the year on the preferred stock have
been declared.
1t was reported in financial circles
yesterday and was neither confirmed
nor denied by officials of the National
Enameling and Stamping Company,
that the new management is planning
to undertake some financing to take
care of proposed expansion. When the
fight for control of the management was
conducted at Tuesdays annual meeting,
Clement Studebaker leader OF the OPP
position to the old management, asserted
that It would be the policy of the new
board to expand the company's busi-
ness. Wall Street learned yesterday
that TO undertake an expansion cam
paign the company will probably have
to put out an issue OF securities.

LACkA WANNA QUITS
WAGE CONFERENCE
Hopes to Sign Up Its Engi-
neers and Firemen.

Leaders of the Brotherhoods of Loco
motive Firemen and Engineers and a
committee representing the steam car
riers of the territory north of the Ohio
and east of the Mississippi rivers
continued their conferences in Grand
Central Terminal yesterday in an ef-
fort to arrive at agreements respect
ing wages and working rules without
sending the controversy to the Railroad
Labor Board for decision.
Although the Lackawanna Railroad
was represented at similar conferences
held last week with representatives of
the trainmen and conductors. the man.
agement of that road has declined to
enter the negotiations with he firemen
and engineers hoping to reach an
agreement through direct negotiations
with its own men.
The Railroad Labor Board announced
that it would begin hearings on March
on the wage cut applications of 175
carriers affecting virtually all classes
of employees. except these in train and
engine service. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road is understood to have held its
wage applications in abeyance pending
the outcome of legal action in which
that road questions the power OF the
board to prescribe methods Of proce-
dure governing the systems relations
with its employees.
Although the alliance agreement be-
tween the miners union and railroad
labor organizations is looked upon as
another interesting development. in
quiry yesterday revealed little if any
fear by railroad executives that other
than moral support would be given by
the transportation unions to the min
ers' fight for retention of their pres
ent wages and working conditions.

~. Y. LIFE TRANSFERS
HUNGARIAN BUSINESS
Also Closes Affairs in Old
Austrian Countries.

Walter Buckner. second vice-presideat
of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany has returned from long business
stay in middle Europe in the interest Of
foreign policy holders Of the company.
These policy holders are now protecte1 1
by a series Of agreements with the
various States formerly constituting tbs
Dual Monarchy.
Describing in the current issue Of the
Eastern Underloriter the New York
Life's efforts TO close out this business
he says:
The settlement was accomplished in
the major countries-Hungary. Jugo-
Slavia, Czecho-Slovakia and Austria-by
passing definite special laws under whic l
foreign life insurance companies might
transfer their business either TO the re-
spective Governments themselves or -
domestic company under Government
sanction. When the business was so
transferred the foreign companies would
be relieved of all responsibility.
There are other Eurooean countries
where negotiations are taking place for
either transfer or sale of the business
so that il is not unlikely that within
n few months other countries which
have existing laws or by passing new
ones will enable foreign companies TO
transfer or sell their foreign BUSINESS
to domestic companies always under
the full sanction and approval OF the
Government officials and insurance de-
partments Of the different countries"
In Poland, Bulgaria and some otner
countries negotiations still are under
way and Mr.. Buclner soon viii make

For the first time in five years an
insurance company by reason of the
rise in the bond market has been en-
abled to list its bonds at market values
instead of book costs. This method. fol-
lowed by the New York Life Insurance
Company, took away s56,000,000 of the
company's surplus, but nevertheless 1t
left a safe margin.
Under war amendments to the In
surance law passed since 1916, life

in the last four previous annual re-

advantage of the law.
