MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
By Helen Rowland
Truth Without Salt

ITUGH WITHOUT SdAb
INTUITION is a woman's dia-
] bolical faculty for discovering a
mans reasons" for doing some.
thing foolish when he didn't know
he HAD any.
A man knows instinctively
when the 'last word" OF a love
affair has been written, but a
woman always insists on blotting
up the page with a lot of fearful,
tender or tormenting postscripts.
BY this time, you have PROF.
ably discovered that there was
really no more danger in leaving
your husband shut up in the
office all summer with an attrac-
tive stenographer than there
would be in leaving a small boy
shut up in the pantry with the
chocolate cake.
Nothing makes a man quite so
indignant at a woman as to dis.
cover that even all his most arts
tic lying can't convince her Of his
sincerity.
When a woman begs a man to
tell her the whole. plain, bitter
truth" he should have the in
telligence to know that she means
she wants it sugar-coated and
favored to tickle her palate-and
even then she can swallow only a
little bit of it at a time.
A summer love-affair is always
an amusing diversion for one. but
it takes a little time and finesse
to find out WHICH one.
These days it always astonishes
a man to discover that he will
have to struggle to win a girl;
but nothing so astounds him as
to discover that he won't have to
struggle a bit to lose her.
As long as a man has a few
front teeth, a few strands of hair
across his head and his single
blessedness, he just can't help
thinking of himself as a dam
gerous temptation to the
women.
An attractive girl has to marry
these days in order to get some-
body to take her around who
won't make love to her.

THE influence which Walt Whit.

interest Of the student of human

natural gift for description and her
words fell with weight, although

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Why Is Insurance Seldom Bought
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

While we are talking about thrift
a few words about life insurance are
IN order. This is not n new subject
ana there Is little new to be said about
1t, but 1t is always important. Per
haps the outstanding fact about life
insurance is that it is almost never
bought. 1t is nearly always sold It
sometimes happens that a man calls
up an insurance agent on the tele-
phone and tells him he wants to take
out a policy, but when it does the
agent gets a shock that lasts him n
long time. The rule is for the agent
TO come to the customer and to argue
INN into doing something that he
ought to have done without argument.
Why this is / do not know. Prob
ably nothing 1 can say will make any
difference, particularly as | do not
profess to be an expert on insurance
and speak only as Il layman. There
are individuals who do not need life
insurance. but they are the exception.
In addition to the primary purpose
of insurance. namely, protection for
dependents, it is a form of compulsory
saving. Premiums have to be paid.
when due or within the so days Of
grace or the policy becomes void eX-
cept rs to the paid-up value estab-
lished by law, and few men once they
have taken out life insurance will let
it lapse easily.
Nowadays policies have cash and
loan values and other privileges that
add to their attractiVeness. it is safe
to say that no other kind of financial
institution is 50 well managed as the
great American life insurance com
panies. Nowhere else can a young
man put his money where it win be
more secure or where it will Yield him
greater benefits than in one or the
other of the various forms of insur-
ance policies.
That being the case, why is it that
most every one waits to be urged be-
fore he insures his life?

est declines in any week for years
the current rate of between so and
81 per cent of capacity being the low
est since late last December. Produc-
tion has been exceeding finishing mill
requirements for some time and the
present SHARP cut probably is an eff
fort to bring these two activities to-
gether. Further curtailment is eX-
pected. The average for the entire
industry is between Is and 70 per
