FATE PLAYS BIG
PART In CAREER
OF MANY STARS

Injuries are often the turning
point in the career OF many pitch
ers. That is. certain pitchers reach
stardom after injuries seem to have
threatened 10 end their career.
Take Joe Bush for instance. He
came back after trouble with his arm
which kept him out OF the game for
year. Losing much Of his speed as
a result, he invented the fork ball
which was largely responsible for
his success last year.
Injuries TO the pitching arm, as
a rule, force the twirler 70 work
more with his brain and depend less
on his natural resources.
An accident early in his pitching
career caused Carl Mays TO suffer
much pain every time me threw
ball overland or sidearm. He went
TO the underhand ball as a last re-
sort and developed one OF the most
deceptive deliveries in the gme.
Urban Faber. OF the White Sox.
and Shocker, Of st. Louis, are two
other stars who are much better
pitchers since suffering injuries that
for a time slowed them up. Instead
of depending entirely on their great
speed or sharp curve, they now work
on the batter. mix them up. hence
are doubly effective.

ARTICLE EIGHT
WORKING AGAINST OUR
SELVES

Lie insurance companies are
chartered by the states in which they
originate When they do business
in other states they must have legal
permission. Beyond this primary
relationship, which is common to al,
organization OF citizens Tor special
purposes, the State exercises two
functions in its relations with life
insurance companies: it Superyises
and it taxes.
No fault can be found with the
soundness of the principal Of State
supervision. In this country govesn-
mcnt is supposed to exist for the
purpose Of protecting the citizen In
his rights, which are life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness. In or
der to make this protection effective.
the State exercises supervision over
institutions which vitality affect the
well-being of the people-such as
banks and insurance companies.
The Federal government does not
supervise life insurance companies
except in the District Of Columbia.
because Life Insurance is not com
merce." But this lack on the part of
the Government at Washington is
more than made up by the activities
OF the fory-eight State govern
ments. Over period of nine years,
Congress and the various States of
the Union held 268 regular sessions
and more than seventy-fve special
sessions. In these sessions over ten
thousand bills were introduced al
iecting life insurance companies and
requiring careful scrutiny by these
companies.
Fifteen Thousand Words a Day
If these ten thousand bills were
strung together one after the other,
each day of all the 243 legislative
sessions, they would average fifteen
thousand words a day
a student of these various bills
has found that they range in purpose
and intent from control of what
agents should be allowed to say in
canVaSSng prospects, to direction in
detail as to how books should be
Kept and accounts be rendered at the
home office. In some cases they I'M
dertook TO specify the form of con-
tracts which might be made with
pohcy-holders. In this food of IF
teen thousand words day were
proposals to increase by enormous
amounts the half dozen distinct va
rieties Of taxation already in use,
and under which policy-holders in
these same nine years have contrib
uted to the support of the State gov
ernments over a hundred million dol,
lars, These ten thousand bills i'm
cluded at least seventy distinct kinds
of regulations, with several hundred
new experiments in State regulation.
This amazing activity in Life IN
surance legislation originates for the
most part in the notion that life
insurance company is a rich corpora
ton without a soul and that any,
one, therefore, in or out of the Leg
islature who SHES q brick at it is a
public benefactor. A fact which
seems to have escaped the attention
