OUTLINES DETAILS OF
INSURANCE PROGRAM
BY L. L. Hopkins

BY L. L. Hopkins
According to the 1880 census there
were more than thirteen million
persons between as and 81 and
more than 100000 persons more
than so at that time. Insurance
companies quote statistics showing
that out of 100 average healthy per-
sons at 25; at 65 years thirty-siX
will be dead; one will be rich; four
will be wealthy; five will be support
ing themselves and f1fty-four will
be dependent on relatives, friends
or public charity. These figures are
for 1880. It is doubtful if the fig
ures for 1884 would be as favorable
so you can calculate what your
chances are from your own stand
point.
I am indebted to Irving w. Bar
net, life insurance representative
from the Chicago Offices of Marsh
g McLennen with offices in this
city, for the following information.
A life annuity of $2,40O beginning
at so would cost in old line insur-
ance:
At 25-w. G. R. $378.86-C. R.
$439.27 annually; 35-W. G. R.
S673.34 c. R. $780.64 annually; 45-W.
c. R. $1,417.43-C. r. S1,643.39 an
nually; 55-W. G. R. S5,698.01-C. r.
$6,600.66 annually.
w. G r means without cash re-
fund; G R. means with cash refund.
If C. R. plan is selected the an
nuitant's estate receives the differ
ence between the cash value and the
amount paid to the annuitant. From
this you can see how impossible it
is for worker or small business
man to carry any such annuity as
this plan contemplates in old line
insurance.
1t is not possible to go into detail
in an article of this kind but the
writer will be glad to cite any one
interested to sources of full informa-
ton regarding this plan which al
ready has gained millions Of adher-
ents in the west and is spreading
like wild fire in the east.

Lauds President; RapS McNNtt

Now as to my conflicting views.
If McNutt and others are for
President Roosevelt, why did Nc
Mutt run the statehouse print
shop with scab labor?
Why did he permit girl typists
to sit in uncomfortable chairs and
work for a salary much less than
the NRA code required?
Why did he shout, you are we'll
fed and clothed and have money
in your pockets!" when it is I'M
true?
I believe the President ordered
all men working on relief should,
on June q, 1884, start working
thirty hours a week. Why aren't
they allowed to work those hours?
Why, before you are allowed to
work an hour more than your
twelve hours week an inVesti-
gator from the trustees must
visit you and see whether you
should be allowed to earn 81 or
$3.50 more on the month with
which to buy your coal. I wonder
if McNutt could keep his self
respect and his shins warm on
dollars worth of coal a month.
Well, the Republicans as well as
the Democrats voted for our dear
ly beloved President; our love for
and faith in him never will be
broken. BY the time this is
printed the Democrats no doubt
will be enjoying their victories.
But why can't they, whichever
party may be elected, go forward
with our courageous President
with love and faith in their hearts
for him and his honest, helpful

BY HARRIET SCOTT OLINICK
For just one hour I'd ike to think
again
That love is wholly rapture; mad,
divine
That love swerves with the sureness
Of a blade;
That love is deaf to reason, dumb
and blind
For just one hour I'd like to think
again
That love is pulse hot beating: a
mad song.
That love is drowning in swift
ecstasy;
That love makes wrong things
right. and dull things wrong.
For just one hour I would like to
steep
In slender dreams as cobwebby
as lace;

think of those who blamed him for
not pulling prosperity out of his

you feel lot more like a real

see and feel in the presence of
great art? Too often the laborer
finds only torture where the aristo-
crat finds the sublime joys Of Gull
ture.
A laborer who will spend his
days savings for alcohol, instead of
hearing or seeing the works of the
masters of literature. drama and
music, needs something besides
higher wages. In this maze Of life
to find the kernels and to let the
shaft go is the most important
thing anybody can learn. The poor
man who turns his radio dial in dis
gust when his home is flooded with
the music Of the masters and who
constantly gratif1es his taste for
trashy reading will not find the
abundant life even in social JUS
tice. Most of the finest things of
life are within the easy reach Of
the laborer who receives good
wages, and many, within reach Of
paupers.
1t is possible to become wealthy
overnight. But we need to realize
that, to enjoy, fully, the blessings
Of wealth, years Of time and
patience are required in learning
the art Of appreciation of the good,
the true and the beautiful This
can be gained most easily and
quickly during the plastic years of
childhood and youth. Wise are
fathers and mothers who bless their
sons and daughters with this heri-
tage, without which wealth may
but magnify their vulgarity. Just
as it is our duty to strive to create
a more just and humane economic
system, so it is our privilege to learn
TO appreciate its blessings.

LABOR WAR AVERTED

THE excellent services which an official
l. organization like the ma tional labor rela-
tons board can render are exemplifled in the
handling of the difficulties between the Great
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company and its
Cleveland employees.
A labor dispute in Cleveland caused the
company to close its stores there completely.
II announced that it was withdrawing from
Cleveland for good; one immediate result was
the Unemployment Of some 1000 workers.
The labor board got busy promptly

any material point has been submitted, the
talk of a fight to the finish has died down and
what might very easily have developed into
serious nationwide labor war has been averted.
It has been a fine example of wise and
efficient action under difficult conditions.

president and Mrs. Roosevelt have made
l. public their program of receptions and din
nerS for the winter, thus greatly relieving the
minds of diplomats and dowagers who do not
want any conflict with the White House enter
tainment schedule.
A glance at the White House list of social
functions shows January to be the most crowded
and brilliant month. There is to be the diplo-
matte reception on Jan. 8, the Vice-Presdents
dinner on Jan. 10, the judicial reception on
Jan IT. the diplomatic dinner on Jan. "a and,
finally the congressional reception on Jan. 81.
Most dazzling and Ito some dplomats) most
trying event of the season is the famous diplo-
matte reception. For this magnificent display,
ENJOYS spend hours taking baths being groomed,
plastering pomade on their hair, bucklng on
swords, epauets, gold fourrageres medals and
decorations in order to shine in splendor at the
White House.
The final effect is, to those who have never
seen it before, breath taking. They Immediately
write home and tell their friends, so'the annual
struggle to get an invitation to the diplomatic
reception ranks among the bigger and better
battles of Washington society. To many who are
disappointed it is a veritable Waterloo
Already, the front ranks of those who want
to be admitted to the show on Jan. 3 have
started the drive for invitations. They want to
cape at all the gorgeous pageantry-all the Dip
lomats strangled in gold lace, crushed under
heavy plumes, weighed down by cavalry sabers,
squeezed into tight but beautiful uniforms, suf-
fering but secretly f1attered by the adulation.
The reception will be vast but superb crush.
EOREIGN ENJOYS and officials are all de-
Il lighted to find that there is no New Years
reception scheduled
This event. which used to force sleepy en-
voys and cabinet members to rise early and tod
die into the White House without even the
benefit of a stiff bracer) during the Hoover re-
gime has been abandoned by the RooSevelts.
One consolation awaited those who went to
the New Years reception, and it wasn't much
consolation, at that. They could always go and
gulp hot coffee later as breakfast guests Of the
secretary Of state in the Pan American Union
But the pushing throngs usually made the effort
hardly worth while.

THE fruit season is on! The first
green apples, the first Bartlett pears,
the first Hiley Belle peaches are here
and if not yet available everywhere,
they will be soon. Other fruits which
are plentiful and we'll distributed are
the various melons, an assortment of
berries, pineapples, plums, grapes, ba-
nanas, oranges and grapefruit-as
we'll as the indispensable lemon. Since
most fruits are served raw and re-
quire little preparation, they are a
boon to homemakers who want to
make their work as simple as possible
in the summer.
Vegetables, too, are plentiful and
low-priced. Salad vegetables, like
fruits, are labor savers.

AN OLD RUIN

AN OLD RUIN
A Wondering pile of masonry
Now stands neglected and alone,
It's history in the past is hid,
No record of it's age is known.
Its portal now is covered Ger,
With matted ivy, thick and green,
Its windows, merely gaping holes
Among the crumbling walls are seen.
Could we but delve into the past
And its old history relate,
What charming stories we could weave
Around that mass of brick and slate!
A bride, in curls and crinoline,
Once on time was mistress here:
Once, lavish feast and revelry
Filled these vast rooms with mirth
and cheer.
Sweet, baby voices raised in glee,
Re-echoed from these empty walls,
And romping children at their play,
Tripped up and down these spacious
halls.
Once on time, quaint couples danced
In these old parlors, now decayed
To the lifting strain of violins,
Back and forth they primly swayed.
Thus, many years passed, in their turn
And generations came and went;
Were born; grew up; were married;
died,
And romance to this old ruin lent.
So, as it falls into decay,
From winters snow and summers rain
We leave it to its happy Dreams
RELIEVING old time scenes again.
