Insurance Conference
Stresses Service
To Customers
Joint Meeting Of D. c.
And Baltimore Groups
Held Here
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

More than $50 life insurance rep
resentatives attended the 23d Annual
Joint Sales Congress of the District
OF Columbia and Baltimore Life
Underwriters Associations at the
Wardman Park Hotel yesterday.
The program was devoted espe-
cially to insurance writing rom an
educational standpoint. Service to
patrons was stressed and warnings
issued against selling clients larger
policies than they can carry.
This years sessions were conduct
ed by John Marshall Holcombe, jr,
manager, and B. N. Woodson, di-
rector of service of the Life Insur-
Ance Sales Research Bureau, at
Hartford. Raymond A. Du -Four
presided as general chairman, the
associate chairman being Russell A.
Law of Baltimore.
The leading afternoon address was
presented by Carroll G. Day of Ok
lahoma City, general agent OF the
Pacific Mutual. He is one OF the
largest insurance writers in the
United States and gave his col
leagues much information about his
selling methods. The Sales Track"
was his subject.
John D. Marsh, president OF the
District Association. presided at the
luncheon, the guest speaker being
Baldwin B. Bane, director of regis
tration, Securities and Exchange
Commission. Mr.. Bane reviewed the
different laws governing the securi-
ties business, declaring that the act
regulating investment trusts was as
much needed as the legislation gov
-erning the utility industry. He de-
clared that the insurance investiga-
ton which created such a stir, had
placed the big companies in highly
favorable light.
The luncheon was enlivened by
radio broadcast sponsored by the
District Life Underwriters ASsocia-
ton entitled Partnership Insur-
ance." Washington men on the
Committee of Arrangements were
Earle r. Hough. Art Minor, Warren
Stone, Joseph Silverman and Paul
Hammack.

Stock Market Quiet;
Fractional Gains
Slightly in Lead
Copper Shares Make
Best Showing at
Weeks Close
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

NEW YORK, May 17,-Lack of
stimulating news from the war and
labor fronts kept many customers
out of today's stock market, but
most of those who participated
leaned slightly to the buying side.
Coppers, on the whole, gave the
best account of themselves, al
though scattered steels,, rails and
specialties did fairly well at inter-
walls. Gains generally were in small
fractions and, at the close of the
two-hour session, there was an as
Sortment of minor declines and nu-
merous issues held at Fridays final
marks.
Transfers of around 10000 shares
were among the smallest since early
March.
Speculative forces apparently in
clined to keep commitments light
because of the week end recess.
Growing tension in the Near East
conflict, the deadlock in the soft
coal mining controversy and expec-
tations the Railway Brotherhoods
would seek substantial wage boosts
served as a brake on bulliSh spirits.
Wah Street seemingly would like
to work up a little initiation tenn
perature, but the difficulty here was
the thought the administration has
been studying an "all-out" price
ceiling" as a means of counteract-
ing soaring living costs.
Coppers found few friends on the
theory the majority of producers,
even if the Government keeps quo
tations for the red metal at present
levels, may benefit by expanding de-
mand.
General Motors still was under the
influence of the union settlement
granting an annual wage boost of
about $4,000 900 and conjectures as
to how future dividends would be af-
fected by the jump in expenses.
Stocks attracting support included
Anaconda, Kennecott, American
Smelling, Phelps Dodge, United
States Steel, Republic Steel, South
ern Pacific, Atlantic Coast Line,
"cSlAilSiioiSc, Ou IOill, oedlS 1toc-
buck, j. I. Case, Standard Oil of New

one of the fascinating aspects of
pure science is the way useless"
scientific facts have of suddenly
becoming useful.
Not long after DR.. Rudolfs made
his discovery, he and his asso-
ciates were engaged on a very
practical project. 1t was to de-
velop, by scientific methods a
really effective insect repellent;
something that, applied to the
skin, would create an invisible
barrier against the attacks of bit
ing pests. Aided largely by their
knowledge of substances that
mosquitoes dislike, the group sue
ceeded. From that laboratory re-
search came "Sta-Way," a SUBJ
stance that literally keeps insects
at a distance yet is easy to use
and has no undesirable effect on
the skin.
In the field of mosquito exter-
mination and control. the pres
ence or absence of mosquitoes in
a section may mean the difference
of millions of dollars in local
values. In such work it is neces-
sary to determine the numbers
and different species of pests in a
given area.
Under the direction of DR.
Thomas ] Headlee, of Rutgers,
world authority on mosquito con.
troll methods, trap has been de-
veloped to sample" the insects.
And dry ice-which gives off car
bon dioxide gas--is the breath
which attracts the insects to the
traps when large numbers OF
them are needed. Again DR.. Ru-
dolls curiosity is paying divi-
dends.

TOMORROW 4
BETTER DAY
BY Rev. c. VI. Griffeth
Pastor Methodist Church
Ceeilton, Nd.

Tomorrow can be a better day
for you, if you want it to be. 1t all
depends upon you; yes, on you and
on nothing else.
+ As you know. everything that IS
+ to endure must have a suitable
foundation. So must the joy and
happiness which we desire. Some
people wonder why their lives are
always SO unhappy Here is the
reason. They have never taken
time to lay the foundation to Sc
cure such joy and happiness.
It is not enough for an architect
to know the laws of structure. He
must draw his plans in harmony
with these laws if he wishes to
build successfully. Neither can we
hope to attain happiness in life by
the utter disregard of those laws
upon which lasting happiness is
based
In the closing words of His Ser
mon on the Mount" Jesus points
the way to stability in happiness
when He exclaimed: "Whosoever
heareth these sayings of mine and
doeth them, will liken him unto
a wise man, which built his house
upon a rock.
The emphasis here is on the
word "doeth.
Therefore read through His Ser
mon on the Mount" and check up
on your life as you have been liv-
ing it during the last few days and
months.
Have you, for instance, beer
angry without cause? Is there a
brother with whom you should be
reconciled? Have your thoughts
been adulterous? Have you disre-
garded the principle of the other
cheek also? Have you neglected
to pray for your enemies? ? Has
your attention been centered OF
your treasures on earth" rather
than on treasures in heaven"
Have you been trying to serve bott

How does a hungry mosquito
locate its prey? Has the insect an
eye like an eagles, OF a nose like
a hound-dog's? Is its sense OF
hearing super-acute, or is there
some more mysterious faculty
that enables it to track" its VIC
tim?
DR.. Willem Rudolfs, of Rutgers
University, was working on this
problem. For years, the New Jer-
sew institution has been world
center for the study of mosquito
control and DR.. Rudolfs felt that
the answer to how one of the
pests goes about his work would
be worth having.
Research into the matter soon
eliminated any theory of keen
eyesight or hearing. DR.. Rudolts
then began tests to determine
whether some sense akin to that
of smell guided the insect He
began putting mosquitoes and
various chemicals into glass test
tubes and noting how the pests
reacted. Almost invariably they
indicated indifference or dislike,
Then came the day when DR.
Rudolfs breathed into one of the
test tubes The effect was almost
magical. The insects flew toward
the breath, lowering and hum
ming They registered an almost
frantic interest And then anc
there DR. Rudolfs had his answer
The breath which humans anc
animals exhale-part of it carbon
dioxide gas-is what attracts
mosquitoes.
While this fact was interesting
one might think that it did no
aave much practical value. Ye
