INSURANCE
CONTINUED from Pace 12l

tfOtU Td9e "
If full premium is paid each year. Il
becomes paid-up policy in IL to y
years, depending on the age when TAX
en-, if the full premium is paid each
year. 1t automatically becomes an
Ordinary Life Contract when the cou-
pons are clipped and cashed.
For example: Let's take business
girl age 20 who is a graduate of high
school and business college. This
girls income is $500 per month so
she decides to put $7376 per year or
$500 per month in Il STANDARD
SPECIAL POLICY. S33.40 of this
amount provides her with $1,000 in
surance protection. The balance of
S4036 IL invested in coupons which
draw $40 interest. In case of ordin-
airy or accidental death it would pay
her beneficiary $1,000 plus the accum-
ulated coupons and interest. In case
of total and permanent disability II
would pay her 5000 per year for 10
years. In IL years and months
when 81, she would have q paid-up
policy for life If she wished to stop
paying premiums. In % years, when
49, she could draw out in cash $1,000
Let's assume this girl marries at age
3S. What options would she have?
If her monthly allowance after mar
riage Is sufficient she can continue
the contract and keep building up her
estate. IL she needs money for her
trousseau, she can continue to pay
1884, per year and keep her insurance
protection up TO $1,000 but drop the
investment part. After eight years
the coupons, for which she was pay
ing $4O.36. would amount to approx
imately $4,000. If not needed for
trOusseau, coupon money might help
out many times in cases Of emergency
as sickness, etc; or In the furnishing
of a home.
If she is able to pay the full prem
ium for three years after marriage.
she would have a paid-up policy for
life. If death should occur while pay
ing the full premium, her estate would
not only get the face of the policy or
$4,000 but all of the coupons plus in
terest. Suppose she had paid 20
years, in case Of death the face of the
policy or $4,000 would be paid, plus
the coupons and interest, or approxi-
mately 100000 In other words. her
beneficiary would receive $1,000 in
stead of $1,000. the face of the policy.
Another option-lf the girl would
take the cash value of the policy plus
coupons and interest, at age % when
she marries, II would amount to APP
proximately $4,000. If this amount
was left in trust win tne company
until she was 60, she would have an
old age fund of approximately S2144.-

forming. All was comparatively serene
when we had our first look and little
smoke was coming out. But suddenly
there was a great sucking noise and
a huge bubbling sound and then a
noise as of a steam valve released and
and was all ready to run; but l waited
and saw the most beautiful puffs of
white, amber and apricot colored
smoke unfurl themselves and spread
out in the sky. by the second or third
display all uneasiness left me and l
was perfectly fascinated ut the sight.
A fissure in the side of the new cone
emitted streams of molten lava and
yellow and orange sulphur which
steamed and boiled as they OoZed down
the mountain.
We could scarcely drag ourselves
away when it was time to return to
the car but our personal conductor"
had more surprises on his schedule.
Half way down the mountain, while
waiting between cars, we entered the
one little restaurant and negotiated
for least iron" sandwich and a bot
tie of water, which we consumed sit
ting in the car waiting to 90 down.
Changing cars successfully for the
fifth time that day, we took the route
to POmpeii. The ruins of this disas-
trously destroyed city were wonderful
and the feeling that 1t had been i'll
habited was 50 strong that we almost
expected to come upon citizen of the
place. Stone paved streets and side
walks were lined with the remains of
houses beautifully frescoed and court
yards with wonderful Gi:ng. Some
houses were more extensive and the
second stories remained. There were
watering troughs along the streets
where water had gushed from u spout
just high enough for man to drink
from, as was shown by the groove
worn in the stone where hand was
placed as the drinker leaned forward.
In the stables behind and below one
set of dwellings were the bones of
horses and smaller animals. All of the
buildings were of well-cut stone and
neatly layed out so that one could
easily imagine how they had appeared
before vesuvius so fatally erupted.
AS we approached the railway sta
ton we saw crowd gathered, and
Fastening our footsteps found our
selves in time to board the special
train with the official party from the
boat. BY careful planning and eau
tious use of the few tickets we had
among us, accompanied by few well
chosen remarks about the loss of the
rest of the tickets, we earned our
selves passage to the boat and felt
blissfully happy and comfortably weary
after our days Independent adventure.
The vogue of the negligee that pos
sesses wrap-around kimono lines is
gradually being replaced by n two
piece pyjama set of great freedom and
infinite variety In design. OF course,
the old time comfort of the negligee is
lost for the pyjama, while 1t gives
great freedom of movement while it
is worn, requires more time and chic
in putting il on. The comfort of the
negligee which was formerly slipped
into Is no longer the busy feminsle
perogative. But it has always been a
desire to put chic above comfort.

WOMAN SAYS SHE is
MARY OF LAMB FAME
Resident of English Resort
Believes She Inspired Famous
Nursery Rhyme.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SOUTHEND.ON-SE SEA, England April
13.-In this quaint seaside resort,
near London, is a little 86-year-old
woman who believes that it was she
who inspired the famous nursery
rhyme. MARY Had a Little Lamb.
Although Henry Ford has erected
a schoolhouse to commemorate the
popular chiId's ballad, believed to have
been written by the American poet
Horatio Hale to a Miss Mary Sawyer,
Mrs. Mary Hughes settles back among
the pillows of her invalid's chair and
tells this story:
II am the daughter of John
Thomas, a farmer Of Llangollen,
North Wales. and as a child l was
always fond of the lambs.
Il fed the lambs from the finger
of an old glove tied over the spout
of a teapot, and they soon learned to
follow me about.
My sister and I had two miles to
walk to school, and one day one of
the lambs, Nell, followed me.
"She frisked and gamboled about
and caused such a commotion among
the other pupils that Miss Coward,
the schoolmistress, made me take her
out.
Three sisters, named Burl, from
London, were staying with my mother
at the time. One of them was so
amused at the idea of Nell following
me to school that she wrote a poem
about it."

Mr.. Hooper had personally briefed

PARENTS HELD UNABLE
TO CRITICIZE YOUTH
Should "Buck Up" Before De-
nouncing Escapades, Mrs. Rafter
Tells Association Board.

Parents should buck up and brace
up, and until we do, we are lot of
utterly inefficient people who should
not criticize youth for its escapades, .
Mrs. Giles Scott Rafter, president of
the District of Columbia Congress Of
Mothers and Parent Teacher Associa-
tions, told the board of the organiza.
tion Yesterday afternoon, at the Ar.
lington Hotel.
Mrs. Rafter raped the attendance
of young people at the Rule trial in
Rockville during regular school hours.
Where were their parents and why
were they not in school?' she ques.
toned.
Discussing the dry law without eX'
pressing any opinion of it, Mrs. Rafter
said that lit is part of the Consti-
tuition and while it is should be
obeyed."
Il feel that disobedience TO the law
breeds disrespect and unrest in youth,
and it is the parent who should cor
rect this by example" she added.
Two resolutions, one calling upon
the parents to enforce earlier hours OF
retiring and another TO request the
newspapers to cease exploiting mis-
deeds of children will be submitted &c
the Parent-Teachers Congress at its
next meeting, Mrs. Rafter said.

SCHOOLS HONORING
JEFFERSON TODAY
Birthday and Centennial Death
Year Observed by Children
in Capital.

Exercises commemorating the birth
day anniversary and centennial death
year OF Thomas Jefferson are being
held in the public schools today.
At the conclusion of the exercises,
which, by direction of DIR. Frank w.
Ballou, will last between 80 minutes
and one hour, contributions will be
taken up for the national fund to pre-
serve Monticello, the Jefferson home.
In number Of schools elaborate
tableaux in costume are being held,
while others will hear prominent
speakers.
The children are being informed
that Jefferson was the first president
of the local Board of Education and
contributed to the start of the public
school system here
1t is expected that approximately
$4,000 will be obtained through TO-
days contributions. This sum would
entitle the local schools to five can
celled 1000 bonds. Each of the
schools participating in the fund cam
paign today is being presented with
q certificate superimposed on a fac.
simile of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence, which is suitable for framing.
