there are three answers given by
three different classes.
/. The Atheist answers in the
negative. To him the death of a
person is the end. He not only
withholds future life for man,
but also for the horse and dog
and denies the existence OF any
God, saying "the grave ends all".
Happily for the human race, this
class is greatly in the minority.
There are few simon pure atheists
in this generation. The Psalmist
classes such as fools-"the fool
hath said in his heart there is no
Cod.
2. The Christian answers the
question in the affirmative. He
says there is life beyond what
we call death. He bases his affir-
nation on his faith in the Holy
Bible. There is no one who doubts
that the Bible teaches a future
life. Christian Scientists say
that death is but the falling Of the
scaffold to permit the real build
| ing to be completely used. Theo'
sophists say that death is but ar
event in the pilgrimage of the
soul from the lower order into the
higher order, and that the rea
egos appear incarnate again anc
again. Catholics and Protestant
alike say that after death come:
an eternal life, either in sorrow OF
happiness. Adventists say thu
good shall live forever, while tht
wicked will eventually be annihl
lated All of these different creed
lists are unanimous in their belief
affirming that there will be a fu
ture life, and that in every person
| is something that will literally APP
pear either at death or in the re
surrection, to live on and on Il

DISCUSS
INSURANCE
RISKS
Customers to Be Advised to
Take Cheap Tornado and
Storm Protection
BY RICHARD HUTTON.

At the first meeting OF the newly
elected officers of the District OF
Columbia Bankers Association the
duties OF the several officers were
outlined and the several lines Of
work which the officials will carry
on were allocated. Arrangements
also were made to comply with the
resolution passed at the recent Hot
Springs convention dealing with the
report Of the insurance committee
on tornado and cyclone insurance.
It is Of particular significance that
the report of the committee should
have come at time when the inn
portance of the subject of insurance
in it's relation to financial institu-
tons has been emphasized by the
disaster at Santa Barbara. The re-
port pointed out that the rate in
the District of Columbia for tornado
and cyclone insurance is exception
ally low and that. while losses in
this section of the country had beer
extremely few and far between.
nevertheless such losses constitute
a genuine menace.
The committee, in a general dis
cussion of such losses pointed out
that. for the first time in it's his
tory. Lorraine, Ohio, had been Wis
tied by disastrous and destructive
cyclone last summer with tremen
dous property damage. For these
losses through wind and storm there
was no coverage whatever.
That the question Of insurance in
cases where property may be dam
aged or totally destroyed by storm
is as important in Washington as II
is in California or Ohio or any other
section of the country can be attest
ed by many Washingtonians of the
present generation who recall the
destructive storms here in Septem
Der, 1896, and in July, 1913. These
storms caused damage in Washing
ton and vicinity running into mill
ions of dollars. and it is stated that
In both instances there was verv
little, If any, coverage by insurance.
The efforts of the banks will be
in advising their clients to protect
themselves. and it is stated that
cyclone and tornado insurance may
be obtained at not more than 8
cents per year upon frame buildings.
this being about the highest rate
charged. BY advising owners to
cover their property with this sort
of insurance banks encourage own
ers who have given trusts upon
their property to avoid possible loss.
While the action taken by local
bankers in regard to cyclone and
tornado insurance is entirely in the
interest of their clients and Gus
toners, they will add to the service
which they now render such assist
ance as may be necessary in obtain
ing the storm coverage.

Potomac Savings Bank Is
Obtaining Metropolitan Life
Insurance Funds

NEW YORK. July 4.-Loans to-
falling $92,750, sufficient to provide
housing accommodations for eighteen
families in Washington and its
suburbs, were authorized at the last
meeting of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company real estate
committee.
The loans were placed through
the Potomac Savings Bank Of
Washington.
Since the first of the year this
life insurance company has auth or-
lied. through the Potomac Savings
Bank, loans totaling $111,O50 ON
homes in Washington and its sub
urbs.
These loans were sufficient to
provide housing accommodations for
eighty-nine families.
Walter Stabler, head OF the real
estate loan department of the in
surance company, thinks, however,
that the quality of materials and
workmanship put into the construc-
ton of many homes should be I'M
proved.
sit is the duty Of the financial
institutions, loaning money to build
homes for citizens, to take more
than a cursory interest in those
homes" said Mr. Stabler. There
is too much irresponsible specula-
tive building, where material and
Workmanship is skinTped to ouch
an extent that the houses, I fear
in some instances, will cost more
TO keep in repair than they are
worth and in some instances will
become uninhabitable before they
are paid for.
"Those who loan the money can
remedy these conditions to a great
extent by insisting on good material
and workmanship in the homes on
which they loan"

Prosecution Starts Attack on
Darrow's PIan-Scopes
Backs Attorney
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.

Nv WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON.
DAYTON, Tenn, July 4.-Their
holiday clouded by the move OF
defense counsel toward a Federal
Injunction, all factions in Dayton
united today to retain the trial
of John T. Scopes ont charges OF
violating Tennessee's anti-evolu-
ton law.
The news that Clarence barrow
and his ''big city" associates had
decided upon injunction proceed
ings in the Federal courts struck
this little mountain town like the
premature explosion of a giant
firecracker.
It caused intense surprise at
first, then an epidemic of heart
attacks and finally universal
gloom. On every side towns
people denounced it and even the
local defense attorneys, not pre-
viously informed of the move, de-
clared against it.
Prosecution To Fight
The wide array Of prosecuting
attorneys Immediately announced
their willingness to cross verbal
swords with Darrow in the Federal
courts.
They said they would appear at
any time in the Federal courts
either to oppose transfer of the trial
from Dayton or to fight the whole
evolution issue on constitutional
grounds.
The defense move, however, met
the approval of Scopes. Returning
here from a visit with his parents
in Paducah, KY, he said he was
satisfied with Darrow's legal
strategy.
'.All proceedings in my defense
are entirely in the hands Of my
lawyers" said young Scopes. II
will not presume TO oppose their
wishes, even though the trial is
taken away from Dayton. The
lawyers know what is best and I
will govern myself accordingly"
