Insurance Men "Too Modest"
The District Life Underwriters
Association Bulletin, edited by II.
Cochran Fisher, quotes Charles K.
Hughes as saying in a recent address
to insurance men:
I'm earlier days, when l was con-
stantly sought by insurance agents,
and / may add with a success on their
part which | have never regretted, /
thought that they represented in the
highest degree the American talent
for unrestrained eloquence. But as I
have reflected upon the value of the
life insurance enterprise, l think that
they were generally although uncon-
scious of it, too modest in their esti-
mates of its benefits"
Bills Passage Pleases Mellon.
Passage of the McFadden banking
bill is regarded by Secretary Mellon
as exceedingly helpful to the general
banking system of the country. He
believes it will result in settling and
defining of laws governing the ma
tional bank system. Extension Of the
charters of Federal Reserve banks by
the banks, he believes, will be of great
advantage in making permanent the
Federal Reserve system and enabling
its policies to be fixed on that basis.

In taking up the matter of apart.
ment renting, Mr.. Bowie pointed out
that renting and leasing ordinarily
was not made much of in the aver
age office because Of the small
commission and the vast amount
of detail involved. 1t is only prof
liable when there are a number
OF apartment houses represented by
one office.
In controlling the producing in
come of millions OF dollars worth
of property. the rental agent has a
great responsibility. and the 20.
sition of rental manager is a diff.
cult job because he owes a duty
not only to the landlord but also
must retain the good will of the
tenant. declared Mr. Bowie.
There have been practically no
houses erected for renting during
and since the war and therefore
this phase of rental is practically
off the market, 1t was pointed out.

should receive about 10 per cent

pensive type has been neglected,

Mrs. Chambers opinions are espe-

is for the present representing large

family of moderate means for more
