THINKING ABOUT THINGS

PLAY THE GAME

If you join forces with others
and agree to abide by the will of
the majority, be a good sport and
play the game on the level. Don't
walk out on the bunch because
some decision does not give you
the edge. Never do as Mussolini
is doing with the League of Ma
tions. He is willing to cooperate
only so long as they let him do as
he pleases.

LIFE WAS GREAT RISK ONLY
"a YEARS AGO
(By BRUCE CATION


There came to this desk not long ago a
copy of life insurance policy, issued ~
the American Temperance Life Insurance
Co., in the year 1851. .,... '.,
After setting forth the cOmpany's obi
cations in. the usual stilted language, the
policy went on to tell what the insured
person might not do while the policy was
in force. ....-
The contract would be void, it stated, II
the insured person should, without the con-
sent of the company, pass beyond the set
led limits" of the United States with the
exception of certain parts of Canada), visit
California or Oregon, travel south of the
southern borders of Virginia or Kentucky
between the months of June and Noyem-
Der, take job as locomotive engineer or
fireman or as tender of stationary steam
engine, or die as a result of duel.
By glancing at this formidable list of re-
strictions, we can see what human actions
were looked upon as especially risky in the
days before the Civil War-and, in that
way, we can get revealing picture of the
state of society in those days.
No visit to California or Oregon-if you
went by sea you had to pass around dan
gerous Cape Horn, or take short Gilt
across Panama, which was full of yellow
fever; if you went by land, you had to cross
trackless wilderness full of hostile Indians.
Such trips, obviously, were no bargain for
an insurance company. .,
Just why man would become bad
risk if he went into the South in the sum-
mertime is not so clear. The Southland was
a settled and orderly land. The only eX-
PLANTATION that occurs to one is the fact that
yellow fever and malaria used to pop up in
the South in hot weather; that, presum-
ably, was what the insurance company had
in mind.
The restriction on having anything to do
with steam engines is an interesting one. A
steam engine was apt to be a dangerous
coHtraptiOn, in 1851. One could never
quite be sure that it was not going to blow
W.
Alocomotive cab was an even more dan
gerous place; roadbeds were insecure,
block signals were unheard of, dispatching
systems were rudimentary-yes, the COM
pany was wise to rule out engineers.
And duels =. e. the old custom had not
yet died, though it was on the way out. A
hot-tempered and prideful man could still
get in duel, and the hazard was at least
great enough to be worth mentioning in an
insurance policy.
That, then, was our United States less
than 80 years ago. When you think how
absurd such a policy would sound today,
you can get measure of the changes in
American life.

war that would have discouraged
other rulers from starting war.
But the national rulers did not
like to get together and hang the
Kaiser; they did not wish to es-
tablish any such precedent; they
did not know when they them
selves might come under its
sway; they were very much like
the lawyers who are very chary
about setting up the practice OF
furnishing lawyers, no matter what
they do.

THE HIDDEN TREASURE

When the young king Josiah
came to the throne in Judah he
found that his kingdom had drift
ed far from the true worship of
Jehovah. His grandfather, Manas-
sch, and his father, Anon. before
him, had deserted the religion of
God and turned the temple over
to idols and idol worshippers. Jo-
siah set about at once to restore
the true religion. He ordered the
temple cleaned up and all the idols
and affairs carried out and des-
troyed. Not trace Of idolitry
was left. There was no hesitancy,
no faltering, no hating between
two opinions, no compromise. He
did thoro job of housekeeping.
The story is told that while the
rubbish was being removed from
the temple the book of law was
found. It had been covered up and
forgotten for many years. How
like the lives of many people to-
day. They are filled with the use
less and the trivial things and the
finer values are forgotten and are
hidden in the rubbish and the
trash. Josiah might never have
discovered the book of the law
except for the fact that he chose
to clean out the temple and turn
his people from the error of their
way. The determination to clean
UP. a life often reveals treasures
that it was not suspected existed,
and opens up new horizons of
living in every way richer and full
er and more desirable than the
old. ,...
