troubles, other than that
caused by unemployment.
Thus it appears kat The
banks and the insurance
companies under this plan
would go far to safeguard the
depositor, but would take
care not to be drawn into
obligating themselves to pro-
vide unemployment insur-
ance. Withdrawal or assign
ment of the account would
naturally yitiate ahe insur-
ance.
Whether or noesuch a plan
is workable is for the experts
to determine. But assuming
that il is offered to the pub
lie it would seem to be a safe
prediction that a people who
are already buying a hundred
and one things on the install
ment plan would not be
averse to making partial pay
ments to purchase future
security for their dependents.

In THE INSTALLMENT
ACE

During a discussion Of
business matters at the Bah
son Institute, sharp differ
ence of opinion developed
concerning the wisdom OF
some aspects of the wide
spread custom of buying
. goods on the installment plan
Of payment. But it is increas-
ingly evident that il is the in
stallment age. Each day
brings forward some new
method of accumulation
through partial payments.
Now it is effort to encourage
definitely determined saw
ings deposits by combining
them with provision for life
insurance.
The scheme is reported as
under discussion by a group
Of s<yings institutions in and
near New York City, acting
in concert with insurance
cOmpanies. AS it is repre-
scented in The Eastern Under
writer, the plan is frankly
admitted to be one to i'll
crease the business of the
banks and the insurance
companies by bringing them
within the scope of the par
tial payment propensiiies oil
the American people. And il
furniture, pianos, radio sets,
automobiles and scores OF
other articles may be bought
by paying installments, why,
indeed, should not the SYSTEM
work if applied to the pro-
curing of financial indepcn
dence and safety?
1t is proposed that in the
case where a person agrees
TO deposit in a saving bank
a fixed sum at regular inter.
walls until a predetermined
maximum has been reached,
the life insurance company
will al once assume the
obligation, in the event OF
his death before the total
sum is deposited, TO pay to
his heirs the difference be,
tween the amount paid into
the bank and the whole. In
other words, the heirs would
receive the entire amount
that the deceased deposition
had agreed to place in the
bank. Provision is made for

BOILING POINT IS IMPORTANT

With the more volatile anti
freeze agents, the engine must be
operated at fairly low temperatures,
because if the engine is highly heat
ed the radiator agent with a low
boiling point just vanishes into the
air, and with it goes all protection
against Old Man Winter. The boil
ing point of glycerine is higher
than that of water, so an engine
can be heated without any fear of
losing the anti-freeze protection.
AS the Government Bureau of
Standards points out, it is important
that anti-freeze solutions cause no
damage to the cooling system
through solvent action or corrosion
Practically all salt solutions, the
Bureau adds, cause appreciable cor
rosion, while organic products,
such as glycerine, cause no more
cOrrosion that ordinary tap water
Glycerine, in other words, is friend
ly to all the elements of the cooling
system. 1t will not cOrrode and

boy railroad, one of the units Of the
present Pennsylvania system. 1t did
continuous service from 1881 to 1865.
In 1885 the railroad company pre-
sented the old locomotive to the

INCREASE OF TOURING

Federal and stateway officials
have been gathering interesting in
formation that shows a tremendous
increase of automobile touring. In
New England, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania. Michigan, the Rockies
the Pacific Coast, in the South, the
number of cars on the highways
and visiting the scenic spots of the
country shows a great increase, and
you have only to look over the
license plates to discover that all
States are represented, and that
great lessons in American geo.
graphy are being learned. One
striking fact about touring this
year is the mileage covered by the
motorists. The Seiberling Rubber
Company calls attention to the fact
that the improved methods in tires
is a major cause for deflated costs
in touring. The tourists of today
are seeing more than ever before,
stopping less frequently along the
highways, sleeping in auto camps,
farm houses, and small inns. They
are spending more money on gaso-
line, less money on sidelines and
souvenirs. They are enjoying rid
ing more and soft drinks less which
is attributed to the comfort of the
cars and the durability of the tires.
Incidentally it may be said that mo-
torists ought to check the pressure
of their tires every morning before
starting on a long trip to insure
better riding, and the pressure on
bollon tires have a tremendous in
fluence on gasoline mileage.

BEATING OLD MAN WINTER

Thousands of motorists through
out the United States, who will be
preparing their Automobiles for win
ter during the next month or two,
have reason for thanking a bene-
ficient Government whose research
departments revealed the efficiency
of glycerine as an anti-freeze mix
ture for the use in radiators. Al
though it is less than three years
since the use of glycerine was first
recommended by the chemical eX-
perts, it will be employed by more
than a million motor users this
winter.
The success of radiator glycerine
is significant of what modern re-
search can accomplish. 1t repres-
ents a newly discovered use of an
old and tried product. Since colonial
days glycerine has had an important
place in industry, medicine, and the
household, but it's use in all these
fields has been quickly outstripped
by its adoption to place in motor
transportation.
Because glycerine will not evap-
crate under any glycerine circum-
stances, and because it has an eX-
tremely high boiling point, motor
lists quickly find it remains on the
job during a whole season and
keeps them out of trouble without
demanding constant attention and
refilling.

shows that the dog harried the rat
tier, lodging stroke after stroke of
the deadly head, until finally like a

rattler behind the neck where he
was helpless to bite. Even then the
snake gave considerable battle, be-

Ruth Etting, Artist and
Actress, Finds Stage
a Gold Mine

New York City-The stage is
the only one of the arts that pays
pays the landlord and the milk
man as well as the artists yearn-
ing for fame and a creative out
let.
Ruth Etting, singer, dancer,
song writer, star in the new Zieg-
field Follies, speaks with the con-
fidence that comes with the
knowledge of a four figure a week
contract at hand.
"a painter may paint master
pieces, a musician may be Sec
ond Mozart, but the chances are
great that the masterpieces may
not be discovered until after the
painter is buried, and the musi-
clan may never have enough
money to hire a hail." declares
Miss Etting. "This is especially
true when the artist happens to
be a woman. A career on the
stage, if the woman is truly tai
ented, brings its reward, both
monetary and artistic, while the
woman is still young enough to
enjoy that reward. The world of
the theatre is a rapid moving
world, and more or less faithful
once it has placed the laurel
wreath on a favorite. To a woman
who makes good on the stage
there are many profitable years
