Everyday Law Cases
Which Clauses in Fire Insurance
Policies Shoald Be Noted BY
Insured?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Buyers of fire insurance are accus-
toned to place their insurance with
a friendly broker without regard to the
terms of the policy. When the policy
is delivered to the insured he notes the
property 1t covers and the term OF
years, and then locks it in his safe
without further examination.
Fire policies are carefully restricted
as to their enforceability and, unless
the insured obtains proper indorse-
ments. he may learn that his policy is
not effective.
The following are a few important
Endorsements that can be easily OBJ
attained on request:
l. That the existence of chattel
mortgage on personal property does
not avoid the policy.
2. That the ownership is joint or
in a partnership.
8. That other insurance does not
avoid policy.
4. Permission for vacancy or unoc-
cupancy, pending changes or absence.
5. InSuring articles not usually COW
cred by fire policy, such as pictures,
jeWelry, manuscripts, etc.
6. Permission to operate factory after
10 pm.
2. Employment of mechanics to re-
pair building for a period longer than
Is days does not avoid policy.
8. Permission to keep on the prem
ises gasoline, benZine, etc.

Thanksgiving Game and Contest
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

does not actually have to be a dish
that grandma would serve, but it must
be some article Of food-either a pre-
pared dish, condiment, spice, fruit,
etc. Any edible will do.
If the child fails to answer correctly
before 10 is reached he must change
places with the leader in the center and
do the questioning. When a leader
remains in the center after five ques-
tions have been successfully answered
he may, if he chooses, call out, Dinner
is served" This is the signal for all
to change places as in stage coach.
This gives the leader chance to secure
a seat if he is quick. The player left
standing now becomes the leader and
puts the question.
This is a game for adults. One is
questioner. He may ask any question
whatsoever. 1t is the part of the one
answering to bring in the word turkey"
somehow as reasonably as possible In
the reply. The word may refer to the
bird, the country or the slang express
sion. The reply must be given without
any laughing or even smiling. If the
person does change countenance he
must also change places with the dues-
toner or pay forfeit, whichever the
group decides shall be the penalty. If
the person being questioned does not
start to reply before the one asking
the question finishes counting 10 they
must exchange places. This is an
amusing game.

When your young man" proposes
matrimony it is customary to inquire
into his economic position. Marriage
involves the support of home. and
there may be no doubt of the young
mans" willingness but some doubt OF
his capability in that respect. In any
event, one is not unnaturally vitally IN
tereSted.
There are all sorts of ways to go
about things, and this instance IS no
exception. Men do not resent an in
terest, but they do resent an all-pron-
ing curiosity.
If you know where the young man"
is employed, and that much you un-
doubtedly must, you will be interested
only in few facts. First of all, what
is his approximate income per year. II
he is a salaried employe his income IS
fixed; if he is compensated on a COM
mission basis it is varying.
| You will wish to know the nature OF
his position. There are definite limita-
tions to certain classes of positions, and
the fact will have direct bearing on
your own future.
The length of time he has been with
his concern and the progress he has
made will be noteworthy. The number
Of positions he has held within the

A slight groaning could be heard in

In the meantime the graSshoppers
sang their shrillest in the grass. While
real night gathered round the old blind

the same token-the groaning as when
the earlier burial was taking place.
They were the murmurs of spirits, who
said:

know that dozen or more of the popu-
lar noStrums for restoring natural

doesn't restore; 1t merely dyes the
hair dark brown or black. I am fairly
sure that lead, though poisonous, Is
never absorbed through the unbroken
skin, though, Of course, can't prove
this; 1t is for those who maintain that
this or any other substance can be alb
sorbed through the unbroken skin to
prove 1t. They have tried hard enough,
but so far their experiments only tend
to reassure me in my belief. It Is per-
tinent, too, that although many thou
sands of persons regularly use one or
another of these lead and sulphur
"tonics" or "restorers," there Is no case
on record of lead poisoning from this
source; that is, I can find no case.

A man will sometimes resent the
question, What have you saved?"
whereas the question, What are your
present resources?" revealing the same
fact, is often regarded in more ami
able way.
The question of insurance should not
be overlooked, and if the young man
has none he should be influenced to
undergo an examination and apply at
once. Inability to take out insurance
is an economic fact of the utmost i'm
portance.
If one does not know, it is only fair
to ask If the young man has any de-
pendents or is likely to have, and
whether he has contracted any pending
debts. In soliciting this form of state
ment" it Is again advised that caution
and tact should be exercised. It is also
preferable to elicit information Of this

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
ForgetfulneSs.

Is forgetting due to some physical
disorder? Or Is 1t due to some purely
psychological disorder? To state the
alternatives in scientific terms, is for
getfulne6S phySipgenettc or psyche
genetic in nature? Both causes enter
into forgetfulness.
The physical causes are well known
and easily recognized. AS q person
grows older the physical body gradu-
ally weakens. The-l senile dementia
(old-age forgetfulness) sets in. The
mind disintegrates with the body. For
getfulness Of this sort Is merely q mat
ter of mental energy wasting along
with the physical energy. The mind Is,
In the first place, q blanket term for
undesirable physical activities. The
energy that sustains the body also
maintains the .-:ental powers and abiC :
ties. s@a
When it come to the psychogenetic
cause of forgetfulness, the answer is by
no means simple one. What Is called
mind Is something vastly more COM
plex than the body, takes on q great
variety Of forms, and leads therefore
to q corresponding variety Of results.
Some have q great capacity to re-
member certain things and an equally
great capacity to forget other things.
4L1C tcEI1 attC1tkOtl 1iluy WCu VIC uSS0
to describe this ability. We remember
the things we attend to and forget
those we attend from. Lack Of all this
attending to and attending from you
will find interest, positive and negative.
The way to cure forgetfulness Is to
keep interested in things. You are mas
ter of your own mind at least in this
respect, When q child loses his school
books it's time to look into his activi-
ties outside the school. His mind has
begun to wander; his attention is be-
ing scattered along other lines. When
in life,s school you begin to lose sight
of details, better find some way to
bolster up your interests or lock for
other employment.
Of course, there are many things
that you may profitably attend from.
Set your own limits. Specialize. At
tend to that speciality. Then you will
not complain Of your inability to re-
member.
