My friend, Fred Nelles, head of
the Whittier Reform School Of

1t is a dangerous fact that one

can not tell red lights from
green. He judges merely by their
position and depends upon the
movements of the rest of the
traffic.
Men blind to all colors are

l. The answer is a qualified
yes. Lawyers contend that wom-
en- will not confess when on trial
as freely as do men and that
when they do they are more like
ly to weave absurd stories and
excuses.
I think this most likely due to
unfamiliarity of many women
with the rules Of evidence ami
lack of appreciation of the penal
ties involved. However, when
women decide to go through with
hard moral situation, all evil
dence indicates that most of
them are like the old lady in one
of Mrs. Freeman's novels who al
ways said, Il make up my mind
slow, but make it up firm"
And when a woman has made
up her mind, especially on a
moral question, it is time for
mere man to take to cover.
2. Lots of boys and parents ask
me this question. Nothing but a
qualified yes can be given. Each
boy should talk it over with a
friend - if possible, his minister,
doctor or lawyer. Many employ
ers do not object to such boys.

RISK CONCERNS
Death Is Not Necessary to
Beat Company Say
Insurance Men.

Modern life insurance is not a
game where man has to die to
beat the company. On the contrary,
it is fitted to bring him success in
life, and at the same time protect
his estate or his business against
the always possible factor of his
his death.
It's application in the forms of
business insurance, often is in
genuous, as we'll as helpful. Here
are three incidents:
By a company not far from here,
six years ago, bonds we're sold for
100000. The company taking the
bonds wanted some assurance OF
the continuance Of the successful
management. The company took
cut a policy of 100000 endowment
insurance on the managers life.
1t meets the interest charges and
the insurance premiums. If the
manager lives, the policy automat-
ically wiz cancel the bond issue If
/ he dies. the bond issue also will be
Cancelled.
Saves Money, Buys House
Another incident is where three
partners started a company into
which they put $4,000 each. Each
also took out an insurance policy
for $4,000. -Four years later one
of the partners died.
His insurance policy automatically
withdrew his interest in the part
nership, paying his estate all that
he had in it, and the other two
partners we're left with the business,
so their shares we're $37, 800 each.
Still another is where a young
business man who bought a $4,000
home, insuring his life in an en-
doWment policy at the same time
He paid for the home before the
endowment matured, but reserved
the privilege of burning the mort
gage until the check for the $4,000
came in.
Now he has the home and the
$4,000 and all the time he was
paying for the home his family was
protected against loss.
So many valuable and novel poll
cies can be had that it will benefit
any man who is going into business
or buying property to learn about
them. While he is learning, it is
we'll to consult a specialist in life
insurance, for he is best qualified
to advise him.
Ben Hur Life Gives Advice
One of these who has met with
success with the application of life
insurance to unusual needs and sit
uations is Burt E. Kimmel, deputy
in charge of the Ben Hur Life In
Surance Association, all Of whose in
surance is written On the legal re-
serve plan. His Office is located at
809 K. of P. building, indianapolis.
1t always is pleasure to Kimmel
to talk over insurance problems, and
he invites those who have some diff
culties in that line to consult him,
entirely without obligation.
The Ben Hur Life Association of
Charlottesville, Ind, which he rep
resents long has been recognized as
one of the soundest fraternal life
insurance companies in existence.
Its certificates, or policy contracts,
are safeguarded by the deposit of
the reserves with the insurance de-
partment of Indiana. This added
protection makes possible the abso-
Lutte assurance that all claims are
paid promptly.

MILK PROBERS
TAKE RECESS

A recess, which probably will
continue over about two weeks,
was taken last night by the
Senate subcommittee investigat-
ing the milk industry in WASH
ington so that additional infor-
nation can be obtained by the
committee counsel.
Thus far the investigation has
produced the fact, in the belief
Of the committee members, that
farmers are receiving too little
for their product while consum-
ers are being charged too much.
Committee members also have
expressed the opinion that most
Of the distributors in this area
are reaping such large profits
that either the producer or con-
sumner or both should be given
some benefit.
Senator King CD, Utah, chair
man of the investigating body,
has taken the opportunity num-
ber of times during the hearings
to indicate his belief that the
National Dairy Products Corpora
tion. a milk company with subsi-
diaries in all sections of the
country, has attempted to gain
control of the milk business in
Washington and use that. control
to "fix" prices here.

FIGHT
. APARTMENT

/? Major John C. Gotwals, District
Engineer Commissioner today is
preparing a report for Represen-
tative Virginia E. JenckeS on the
changing of an alley north Of
concord Avenue Northwest, into
q street.
The report was requested by
Representative Jenckes, who is a
member of the House District
Committee, after she had received
letter from several citizens in
the vicinity protesting the change.
Major Gotwals said the alley
was being changed by agreement
with the owner Of some property
on Seventh Street Northwest, in
order that he might build an
apartment house on his land.
The apartment house, citizens
say, would be detrimental to their
property since it would face on
the newly formed street and con-
Sequently have the rear opposite
their front doors.
:. Major GotwalS says the prop
erty is zoned to permit the erec-
tion of apartments and that the
Commissioners cannot prohibit
the building.
/ Major Gotwals has ordered the
permit for erection of the apart
ment house to be held up tenn
porarily.

storm abated and the sky became

still out of sight, the wall of the

the wharf by the dying breath Of
the hurricane. A roustabout
shouted:

knowed he'd bring her in. Listen
to him whistle"
Cheered by Passengers
At last the vessel, listing
heavily to starboard, nosed into
her dock. The 81 passengers, the
majority of them women, set up a
loud cheer:
"Three cheers for Captain
Heath. Hip, hip, hOOray!"
Then they cheered for other
officers and for the crew. Cap
tain Heath was first down the
ganf plank. He was hatless, wear
ing a gray overcoat and blue
shirt open at the collar. His face
showed the strain he had been
under but he had smile for each
passenger as they grasped his
hand and ShoWered him with con.
gratulations. He patted each pas
senger on the back and said:
BE good children"
Laughs and Jokes
When passengers became effu.
sive and described how fearful had
been his ordeal, Captain Heath
became confused and muttered:
ooh, no, no."
He laughed and joked with re-
porters.
"I've never seen such sea
and I've been sailing this run
since 1916. 1t was a real hur'
ricane."
But he refused to discuss his
part in bringing the vessel safely
into port.
Morale Amazing
Joseph j. Caputa, attorney OF
220 Broadway, New York CITY, de-
scribing the voyage, said:
"It began getting rough just
as soon as we left New York
HarbOr and in a few hours all
of the passengers realized they
were in for something unusual.
I don't think any of us went

His wife was waiting for him
when the liner docked this morn
ing.
BY this time the vessel was
rapidly listing and filling with
water. In the hold 500 barrels of
beer had broken loose and were
rolling about like tenpins. At Z
a. m. Captain Heath ordered
Chief Radio Operator Benjamin
Beckerman, of Brooklyn. N. Y,
to broadcast an SOS.
Two Sailors Hurt
All the passengers donned life
preservers and huddled in the
salon of the vessel. The crew
went below to attempt to secure
the shifting cargo. Two sailors
were caught by the hurtling casks
and pinned against the iron side
of the ship. Both are believed
to have sustained fractured legs.
They are:
Matt Nelson and Robert Tur-
ner, both of New York city.
