tising Metropolitan again contributed to the task
of bringing better health to America. The death
rate of Metropolitan polcyholders as a whole con-
tinued to be low, and mortality among Industrial
policyholders was approximately the same as the
1889 figure, record low for this group.
Metropolitan is mutual life insurance COM
pany. This means that the assets of the Company
held for policyholders and their benefciaries.
The value of these assets will ultimately be paid
out for their benefit and for them only.

doubt many q mother whose child

Wayne stopped whenever asked to.

He is regarded by some as q
possible successor to Winston
Churchill.
In 1885. Winston Churchill first
warned Of the danger that now
threatens England by giving q de-
tailed report of Germany's rearma-
ment program in the House of Com
mons. The man who aroused
Churchill to the menace of Ger
many was Francis Williams. He
wrote the report.
Williams latest book, "Democra-
Icy's Battle" makes one think. The
author Is complacent in only one
thing about his country now-they
will win. He seems most concerned
over the kind of democracy Britain
will have after the war. II his prog
nostication and thinking are as
good as they have been. we have a
good picture Of what must come II
we don't want a collapse of man
kind.
It is on the young shoulders of
thinkers like Francis Williams that
the future of Britain and the de-
mocracies may rest. For years he
was connected with the London
Daily Herald, the paper Of the Brit
iSh Labor movement. In order free
ly to express himself, he resigned
from 1t in February. 1910.
He knows intimately many Of the
statesmen Of Europe. Because he
attacked the NaI movement and
predicted its course so accurately,
his writings have been banned in
the Axis countries. His WAR by

the devil takes the hindmost and

their policies by the narrowest con-
ceptions Of their own interests: this
vision which so substantially domi-
mated the worlds affairs from 1914
to 1910 and shaped the British pol

LIS Often Easier
To Go Hatless
These Days
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK-Women are not al
together to blame for going hat
less in the country. Hats are often q
bother. They get in the hair Of the
family chauffeur for several rea-
sons. one being that in the early
morning rush there isn't time to ad-
just ones hat to the casual morning
couture. So it's speedier and better
to go hatless. Also it's a lot less an
noying than having to wiggle one s
head out of the side window with
out damage to the flowers or such
that jut out from modern hats.
There was once time when there
we're hats for such purposes, hats
sans flowers or protruding wings
but those days seem to be over. This
is what milliner told me about the
situation. I'm passing 1t on so you
can get the viewpoints Of both the
milliner and the customer.
One is that the long bob, worn by
so many Of the younger set, is not
right for the pompadour hat nor
even the small disk perched for
ward. It really looks absurd-and
sooner or later both the young girl
end the conservative woman, tired
of not finding the type Of hat which
is right for their current mode Of
living. will grow weary and decide
to omit hats altogether.
II believe. and believe strongly,
said the milliner. that unless mil
liners time and launch q trend that
fits into modern living, and give the
woman what she wants. the hatless
fad will become more than q men
acct will become established as
an eventuality beyond repair.
The success Of the bandana and
coronet prove that the simpler and
more snug the headdress the better
it goes over with the station wagon
