NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-With the
championship of the Eastern Inter-
collegiate Basket Ball League ap-
parently safe within it's grasp, Dart
mouth can devote itself tonight to
the satisfying task of administering
vengeance on Columbia.
Early in the season the Indians
came to New York and were given
their only league setback by Colum-
bia. The Lions stopped Gus Bro
berg; that was all that was neces-
sary.
Another Star to Stop.
Tonight the Indians will have Co.
lumbia cornered in Hanover, N. H.,
and there isn't any reason to be-
lieve they won't atone for that loss.
This time the Lions will have to
do more than stop Broberg. Charles

Princeton three weeks ago, came

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-Emil Won
Filing, a stocky, quiet little guy, who
has grown gray in the service of
New York University, is turning out
the country's best relay teams this
winter.
And in tonight's National A. A. U.
indoor track championships at Mad

his squad of baton-passers after
all four relay crowns, with good
chance of winning three.
The Violets will encounter strong
opposition from at least one source

Georgetown's undefeated quartet will
be one of its rivals in the starry
field. The Hoyas hold the lone vic
tory recorded over New York U. this
season, outruning it last Monday

What Is Life Insurance?
THE MARRIED MEN ON
YOUR NAME LIST
BY A. N. LAKE
Vice President and Secretary Of the Western Union
Mutual Insurance Co..

II you have moved thoughtfully.
you have discovered that you have
a real message for the young men
on your list and for the professional
men. Continuing the same process,
list carefully from your work sheet
the names of the men whom you
know now are married and who
have small children. The story for
that group quickly becomes evident
as you continue to think OF the
needs OF the married man.
The very fact that these men fall
into the classification of married
men with small children tells you
that they need life insurance be-
cause:
THE BIGGEST CREDITOR man
has is his wife and family, for they
have given him credit for the ability
to care for them as long as they
live. Life insurance redeems their
faith in him.
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF the
future support OF wife and family
depends upon future income. Life
insurance is the only system yet
set up to proect future income.
IT is UNFAIR to a wife and to
children to ask them to carry the
risk that a husband and father
will not live long enough to ac-
cumulate an estate for them.
IT is NECESSARY that a mans
earning power shall live as long
as his wife lives and as long as
his children are dependent Life
insurance cheats death OF its VIC
tory over earning power.
ADEQUATE LIFE INSURANCE
is good dads definition OF a square
deal for 4he family.
LIFE INSURANCE GUARAN-
TEES to a mans family when he
is dead the very things that he
works TO secure for them while
he lives.
STOP LONG ENOUGH ON EACH
MARRIED MANS NAME TO
ASK THESE QUESTIONS WHEN
YOU HAVE DONE so ON EACH
NAME. THEN EACH MAN WILL
BE YOUR PROSPECT.
/. Isn't it true that you can't
withdraw 30 per cent OF the income
OF the family al one time without
bsnkrupt1ng the family? Did you
ever see a bankrupt home? My life

from ever being bankrupt

YOUR HELP is NEEDED

1910 will be banner year for our community III
Detroit if the plans and programs OF various out
standing organizations materialize in the next few
months. Their success depends wholly upon the help
and support the great masses of US give Partlcu-
larv is this true of the SeventyFve Years of Negro
Progress Exposition. We have an opportunity 10
impress upon the world the signal contribution of
our people to Western civilization and to create an
atmosphere of interracia understanding and good
will throughout our country.
There is an adage that runs in effect, ~ GU can
not hate any man if you know him well enough"
Indeed we Negroes need to be better known. 1t is
significant that the figure of Abraham Lincoln was
chosen as symbol for this Exposition, for he was
man of broad understanding. The interracial good
will stimulated by the recognition of our achieve
ments in far ranging fields would be worth all OF
the effort expended alone. genius like Carver OF
Tuskegee excites the plaudits of ALL How many men
greatness among us who would receive like praise
if they were better known?
We, too, need to know more about ourselves We
should be inspired to new enterprises and new adj
ventures confident of our capacity and unhampered
by qualms of popular prejudices. These virtues are
well known and the task of making this Exposition
monumental effort becomes very personal concern
of every one of u.s. Too many of us share an unjust
skepticism toward proposals which do not lmmedl-
ately offer material and tangible gain. Too many OF
us pursue our selfish ends believing that down our
own little alley we can reach the rainbow and we often
feel that civic and cultural projects all right for
the other fellow but not for me.
Despite any adverse considerations we are con-
fdent that the task before community in Detroit
in the months ahead will be we'll DONE We know that
the success of the Exposition which will run into the
thousands of dollars depends on every one of us
individually The Exposition is divided up into six
teen fields and every of is touched by at least
one of these fields of work and achievement. The
officials have and are seeking all suggestions
from the general public in order to properly create
project of beauty and distinction which will reflect
the best that is in us.
As we have said many times the success or failure
of such an enterprise depends upon the unstinted
support of the great masses We must not blame
few ambitious spirits for failure in proposal that
demands the loyalty of all of US for success. We
Detroiters must, the saying goes, make the dirt
fly and begin Immediately to build the countrys most
significant show.
