RETIREMENT PLAN
TOLD To CLERGY
Congregational Annuity Fund
Explained to Delegates
to Convention.

How Congregational cIergymen at
the age of 65 years are able to retire
and receive an annuity equal to
one-half the average salary for their
working years was explained to dele
gates attending the biennial gather
ing Of the National Council Of Con-
gregational Churches in the Wash
ington Auditorium today. This is
made possible through an organiza-
ton known as the annuity fund for
Congregational ministers, which, on
plan consonant with the best mod
ern pension systems, enables the min
lister in the days of his strength to
provide for age or disability.
Clarence S. Pellet of Chicago, whose
business IS insurance, said in an ad-
dress to the council TODAY: The an
nuity fund offers a marked example
of economic efficiency. The test of
an insurance management is its eX-
pense ratio. That Of the annuity
fund Is 5.8 per cent. one-third the
average expense ratio of 10 leading
life insurance companies and less
than one-half of the lowest expense
ratio of which / have knowledge"
Assets 100000.
II was shown today the minis
terial boards OF the Congregational
churches have assets of more than
SO 600, 900. Its foundation is the Pill
grim Memorial Fund, instituted in
1917. and reporting a total OF nearly
$4,000, 900 and with an ultimate goal
OF $4,000 900. Payments already
made by ministers and churches. to-
gether with credits from this fund,
aggregate more than 81 900. 600 in ad-
:; ha q n
crease rapidly from year TO year.
The church shares with the min
lister in the payment of the annual
dues. The serious problem in all
churches, 1t was said, is to make ade-
quate provision for men who were
in their later years when the scientific
plans We're inaugurated. The larger
results of these plans are dependent
upon an extended period Of payments
with interest additions. and to give
any adequate pension without such
period of contributory payments In
, wolves financial obligations not gen
orally understood.
Older Men Cared For.
The Congregational boards Of min
isterial relief, State and national,
report submitted today revealed, care
for these veterans, who had retired
scientific plans We're inaugurated, but
although they have invested funds Of
nearly S2,00o,oo0 and an annual In
,ome Of approximately 100000, they
are able to give pension which aver
age only $3.50 for ministers and $265
for widows. Eventually the plan Of
annuities will assume the burden and
change the economic status Of the
ministry.
Secretary Charles s. Mills OF New
York compiled for the national council
figures showing that the ministerial
boards of II denominations. represent
ing 10000. 900 communicates. had as
sets of SIS, 900 900. pension roll Of
"a 900 and made an annual distribu-
ton Of more than $7,200,000. At least
75 per cent of the assets have been
gathered within 10 years. Great as
are the figures. the movement, said
Secretary Mills, IS still only in its
initial stage.

PARIS. October 26.-Francois
Lamouret, first horn player Of
the famous Lamoureux Orchestra,
died after playing the solo passage
in Vincent d'Indy's "Saugeheurie''
at a concert last evening He
slipped lifeless from his chair to
the floor.
The conductor, Paul Paray. reas-
sured the audience, telling them
that Lamouret had merely tainted,
but the members of the orchestra
had the courage to play through
the remainder of the program,
knowing that their comrade lay
dead in the anteroom. 1t was re-
marked that the last selection,
Wagner's wonderful musical set
ting to the death Of Isolde, was
played with unusual fervor.
Lamouret, although comparative
ly young, was regarded as the
finest horn player in France, and
one Of the finest in the world

probation of its ideals. He expressed
his belief in the missionary work Of

ed. upon a showing Of hands, In prac-
ticslly an even division of opinion on
the question Of whether the young

life of American youth.
Summing up the discussion in one
of the sections, Frederick Harris,
editor.in-chief of Association Press,
the Y. NJ C. A. national publishing
house in New York City, explained
that in the opinion of those present
the faults of youth were due in some
measure both to a lack of idealism
and false standards Of life and busi-
ness among their elders. Parents and
others, he said, were setting a bad
example to young manhood and young
womanhood.
In discussion in the group led by
]. A. Urice of New York. several.
speakers expressed the opinion that
this generation of young pople had
many elements superior to those O.
former generations. The young peo-

MEDITATIONS OF A WIFE
By HELEN ROWLAND
Mans Dark Secret.

You can't judge a mans gener-
osity by the size Of his dinner check
or by his tip to the waiter, any more
than you can judge a woman's age
by the color of her hair or the num-
bcr-of candles on her birthday cake.
Every man has his secret Econ
omy, which gives him thrill Of vir-
tue and justifies him, in his own eyes,
for all his other follies and prodigali-
ties.
Many a man who spends more than
half his salary on gasoline. tires and
garage bills. will snoop in the ice
box and groan bitterly at the sight of
wasted dill-pickle or forgotten sar-
dine.
Many n man who cannot pass beg
gar without dropping something into
his hat, and would give away his last
pair of shoes, will drive a hard bar
gain with his charwoman and beat his
laundress down.
A man who could not think Of Of
fering his friends anything less than
a 50-cent cigar, will sneak out and
light his own Corona-Corona with a
candle or piece of paper, just to
save a match.
A man may bring his wife home n
pearl necklace or q diamond link-brace-
let tonight-and, tomorrow night rage
around the house like. wounded ami
NAL, because she happens to leave the
hall light burning, and 20 cents worth
Of electricity has been wasted"

A man may be so openbearted with
his money, that all the grafters in
town have him on their list of "surc
tips'-and yet be tighter with his
own wine cellar than a new shoe and
closer with his wife than a secret con-
ference.
A man who buys French dinners
for half of Broadway and casts pearls
before gold-diggers, may secretly save
cigar store coupons and old-bottle
corks and pinch on postage stamps.
The hardest task of wife's life is
TO get her husband to let her throw
away his old neckties and frayed
sweaters-yet he may refuse to wear
n pair Of socks that have been DARN
ED, however neatly, or to eat warm
ed over roast.
No doubt, even Nero's wife found q
lot of old broken violin strings, dried
laurel wreaths and frazzled togas, hid
den among his jewels and royal robes
after he died mementoes of his
thrifty" moments.
You never can tell what secret
economy a man cherishes down at the
bottom of his heart--nor just why oil
when a fit of frugality may strike
him.
But you may be practically sure that
it is something utterly trivial anj
uscless-just a sweet hyacinth viii

Advice to the

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I've been going about with a youna
man for about year. 1 believe ! care
for him a great deal, and he has told
me of his regard for me. -
Last fall he went away to college,
and since that time he has written
four letters to me. He explains that
his studies are very difficult and oc-
Guy his time and asks m etc disregard
his slowness in answering and write
him often.
During his Christmas vacation he
was very attentive. But one evening
he spoke of the dance he attended at
college. This made me angry, and I
tried to get even by arousing his jeal-
ousy. He didn't quarrel, but went
back to school without seeing me again.
was miserable for days and finally
wrote him and apologized.
He didn't answer for about four
weeks and then wrote a short letter
saying he knew I'd be sorry and ask
ing me to 60 on writing rs before.
Lately I've wondered whether l really
should. Don't you think il he cared
he'd let the lessons go once in while
and write? ALICE M.
Yes, Alice. frankly 1 believe that il
he wanted very much to write to you
he'd find way. I suggest thatf5ou
continue to send him the friendiiest
sort of letters exactly rs you have
done, giving all the pleasant news he
likes TO hear from home. But 1 sug-
gest that you write only in response
to his letters.
Each letter from him will earn .
reply from you. | think We appreciate
friendship and devotion more when
we've earned them. You might tell him
that you also are very busy lately
and it's little hard TO find time to
write as often as you used to-
