far removed is it from the subject matter of poly.
 The one factor in the life insurance business which might concern the monopoly committee is the uni
 ormity of rates But while identical prices in the steel industry or some other industry may reflect monopoisc practices. the identity of rates in nsur ance does not. The companies under the strict supervision of state governments, and the reserves they must accumulate are fixed by law. It would be a sign of danger if the premium charges to policy holders not rather uniform
 If the committee inclined to be suspicious of bignesS in itself-as it is nott would find the legal reserve companies very omnous indeed. Their enormous size is difficult to comprehend even in a country accustomed to manufacturing corporations worth half billion billion dollars But size rep resents strength with them What the insurance panies provide apart from insurance the lives of polcyhoders is skillful and safe management of the investments of 64O0o0OO people. It goes without say ing that the committee will not find odor of mono poly this phase of their nuiry for insurance an industry which has remained highly competitive de- spite regulation which virtually precludes price petition in the ordinary

The Kulak From Mt. Vernon
Philadelphia Record)


 There is no practical way of copyrghting great historical personages or events They belong the which that they can be exploited by such publicity hounds, sef-seeking organizations and just plain nuts as see fit to make of them
 For instance the huge Nazi rally in New York was presumably held in honor of George Washington. By demagogues who think the average citizen has a mental age of five years, this is rated brilliant tactics The public is supposed to thing (a) the Nazs are patriotic Americans because they celebrate Wash mgtons Birthday and (b) George Washington would be Naz if he came back to earth
 Not to be outdone the Philadelphia Communists yesterday ourneyed to Valley Forge to commemorate Washingtons Birthday They made speeches dent- fying their own movement with Washington spoke of their ancestors in the American War of Indepen- dence Git isn't polite to call it revolution) and laid wreath on the grave of the great enemy of foreign "isns."
 Washington was a slave owner and one of the largest land owners of his day holding 4O0O acres at Mt. Vernon alone It is scarcely necessary to argue that in social outlook he about as remote from Marx as two men be. Not long ago Communists were referring to Washingtons type as Fascist" In Russia, kulaks such the gentleman from Mt Yer people. But the comrades stood in snow and biting wind at Valley Forge to call attention to their own shallow inconsistency.
 One of these days politics will return to the point where leaders try to persuade people to agree with | them, instead of attempting to disguise their own oenels to conform with those of others George Wash lngton, who was candid man, would have had more respect Tor Communists demonstrating in honor of Stann than for Communists who think they are Kidding someone by demonstrating in honor of George Washington.

Rubber's Century of Service
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Deaer)
 Columbus discovered rubber along with America. He and other early explorers found the Indians not the baseball varety-playing lively games with what of the early chronclers correctly described as "lumpes of jumping gum Samples were carried back to Europe to the home folk perhaps with the hope that they would help divert the skeptcism of contemporary conservatives who looked upon the western voyagng crack -brained sort of advance planning
 But it was three and half centuries before Charles Goodyear a Yankee kitchen chemist dis covered that rubber might be used for other things than bouncing balls, unreliable material for waterproof garments and, its indicates, the elimination of surplus pencil marks.
 So Columbus plus Goodyear plus many other pio- produced the vast rubber industry today and the spectacular rise of Akron rubber capital of the world" Akron is celebrating the Tooth anniver- sulphur became tough and retained its flexibility
 This vulcanization, which turned rubber into one of the worlds most useful products statute of Charles Goodyear will be unveiled this afternoon in front of Akron's City Hall.
 Today rubber means among many other things jobs to 100000 people Without it the growth of the automotive industry would seemingly have been im- possible and many other arts of peace and would not exist And in Akron and scores of other centers the experimentation still goes New con- tinually being discovered, well new perfections 1 in old Civilization rides on rubber Millions who never heard of him debt to the curiosity and energy of Charles Goodyear who like Columbus was also laughed at by the knowit-all conservatives of his day.

WEDNESDAY. MARCH IS. 1899

WEDNESDAY, MARCH Is, 1899 One of the rare days of good luck is indicated in the horoscope for to- day. The morning is promising time to initiate projects.
 The stars indicate profit for all who buy and sell. Commerce and merchandising will be greatly stimu- lated There will be expansion in many lines of trade. Although labor continues under ill omens there will be great increase in many industrial activities.
 Exports should be greater than ir previous years and should be bef1e- fitted by diplomatic policies. Closer relations between the United States and Great Britain are continually prophesied.
 While the British Empire. con- tinues under threatening portent- that seem to indicate the loss of many of its possessions the friend ship of the United States will ten6 to protect it from hostile neighbors in Europe.
 History is to write strange chap ters in 1889 and one of them vii record the fact that the nation founded on the colonies which tri- umphed in opposing British rule, be- comes the benefactor of the mother country.
 Important works are to issue from the presses of publishers this spring and thinkers are to gain wide fol- lowings. College professors will suc- ceed as authors
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of steady rise in professional or business activi- ties. Promotion for women is fore told
 Children born on this day will be lucky as well as industrious. Sub- jects of this sign of Pisces usually make excellent organizers and exec utives. Many reach supreme success

By Roberta Lee

o. Is it permissible for guest to use his own fork or spoon to help himself from some dish?
 A. No. If the dish does not con- tain fork or spoon, it is an indica- tion that whatever is on it is to be taken with the fingers. It is rather grotesque to see guest trying to spear a stalk of celery with fork, or dish out potato chips with a spoon.
 Q. Should a girl of sixteen offer her seat in a streetcar or bus to a man of fifty who is standing?
 A. It is not necessary, unless the man seems feeble or ill, or is carry ing baby.
 Q. Should one ask permission of the one referred to, when furnish ing reference?
 A. Yes one should always ask for permission of the individual whose name is given as reference.
