 She spurned jazz, never danced the Charleston and never insisted on talk ing out the automobile when Adam wanted it. Nor is there any court record that she ever drove serenely and sweetly past policeman with a smile on her face at an intersection.
 As for cutting in on you on the highway, that was not one of her shortcomings If she had more than one shotcoming Adam never mention ed it.
 She did not seem to feel that "la- dies first" meant on the big road. If she were temperatmental in her driving, giving the cars behind her spasms, it was never noticeable.

\ MONUMENT TO EVE

Eve was a distant relative of mine on my mothers side" says Rob- ert Quillen, newspaper paragrapher, and humorist. She was "the first lady of the land" and "a reigning belle of her day
 And so Robert erected a monu- ment to Eve in his front yard at Fountain Inn., near Greenville, s. G., and is being headlined over the coun- try for his thotfulness.
 He has acted for the race. This universal. obligation has been neglect ed too long. Eve bore Adams ec- centricities without complaining. She even accepted the apple episode with out talking back.
 She never belonged to club and farmed her children out to the neigh bors to raise. She likely could have played bridge all night with any of the danes of the day; but she stay ed home and picked the apples and looked after the garden.
 It must be confessed that she rais- ed Cain upon occasion, for which she can hardly be justified; but it must also be acknowledged that she was not afraid of snakes and Abel.
 Eve had another glorious quality she never asked Adam for fur coat. She just went out in the gar den and got some fig leaves and seemed perfectly satisfied with hel wardrobe. Even the preachers did not accuse her of wearing her skirts too short, either.

 AGENT WRITING
 MANY POLICIES

The attention of Gateway readers is called to the new advertisement in this issue, of Hugh Dougherty, agent for the Equitable Assurance Society of the United States, one of the five outstanding insurance companies of the world Since the advent or the New Year half-dozen policies have been written by MT. Dougherty and numerous others are being prepared.
 Insurance is the only real social safeguard today, MT. Dougherty stat ed, and life insurance purchased by Americans during the year 1925 aggre- gated twice the total amount of insur- ance outstanding on all American lives in 1900. Fifteen thousand mill lion dollars worth of protection was bought last year. The total insur- ance in force in America today, S72,- 900 OOO,O00, is greater in amount than the combined insurance of all the rest of the world.
 During the past quarter-century in surance per capita in the United States has advanced from S111 to $630; the average amount carried by policyhold- CTS has increased from $S65 to $1333 Payments to policy holders and their hnn fi0in ri I11ri hn uiI have approached $1,5O0,O00,000 while in 1900 they reached S169, 9,000,0O0 only.
 These figures reflect how economic progress has permeated through all ranks of life and indicate a recognition of the present higher standards of liv- ing.
 The policy holder in America re- ceives more for his premiums today than ever before. As in everything else, the people desire not cheaper but 1 better service. The modern insurance contract is elastic and adapted to changing conditions on the part of the policy holders. When old age comes the policy can be converted into cash
 or into an annuity in order to provide l for the comforts and necessities of life.
 By the payment of small addition to
 the usual premium a policy can be ob-
 tained by which the company valves
 the payment of all premiums in the
 event of permanent and total disabil-
 ity and pays an annuity without de-
 creasing the amount payable at death

VOICE IN THE ARCTIC NIGHT

In recounting their adventures in the Arctic Ocean, the crew of the exploration ship Maud said they were puzzled by mysterious voice on the radio which began a solemn dis course in an unknown tongue at 9 o'clock every morning for several weeks. Although there was smat- tering of many languages in the knowledge of those aboard no one could find a linguistic landmark to identify the weird discourse. The mate of the ship suggested that it might be the King of the Trolls for bidding further invasion of his realm.
 It is a fascinating mystery, of course, but doubtless it could be ex- plained easily if the key to the rid de could be found. AS the Maud drifted back and forth in the vicinity of the 1S0 meridian, it would not be too fanciful to suggest that the speaker was on the opposite side of the earth, broadcasting his discourse at o'clock in the evening instead of g o'clock in the morning.
 What could be more likely than the interception of bedtime story about Willie Mink and Peter Rabbit? Instead of the King of the Trolls, it was doubtless some kindly person en- deavoring to get the children of the world to go to bed while the parents could go to a show.
 In region where the nights are six months long, bedtime stories are not specially helpful. It is not sur- prising that the discourse was unin- teligible to hard explorers. It is another proof that one mans daily dozen is another's mans poison.
