Yes. An analysis was
made by psychologist w. Brom-
berg of the number of men who
were married and not married
in six different occupations.
They were all eminent, mature
men, included in Who's Who in
America. The six occupations
were: artists, business execu-
tIves, engineers. college pro-
fessors, military officers and
physicians. More Of the artists
and military men were
bachelors than those in any
other group. Strangely enough,
the married artists married the
second time more often than
any others; while the military
men had the lowest rate of re-
marriage. Whether artists and
military men are harder 20 get

COMMISSIONER WILL
COOPERATE
After going over the entire sit
uation leading up to the pubIica-
ton of the above mentioned arti-
Gle, the facts set forth were at
first doubted, but later admitted
from reports to be true and, when
seen from the general public's
standpoint what the state owed to
the average citizen, in the way of
protection, under the present
laws; more definite reason must
be given, in refusing the issu-
ance of an insurance coverage, in
all classes Of automobile insur-
ance, than the race or color of
an applicant. We settled for that.
A remedy was given which in all
cases should apply, and all agents
should understand it and give
that information to the applicant,
that is, refer the application d.
rect or direct the applicant to do
so, to the Surplus Automobile In
surance combination in Seattle,
Washington.
1t must be born in mind that
the population of the state has
grown above all previous expecta-
tons before the war, the future
cannot be now estimated, and
with automobiles covering the
state without proper protection,
jeopardizes lives and property of
thousands, and furthermore, to
Negroes generally, it makes il UNI
safe from a financial way, to try
to own property and at the same
time own car with insurance
protection. No person would think
of taking chances of losing every
7 thing by driving his car without
insurance and run the risk of
being hit by some of the preferred
policy holders and go into court
against the great legal minds in
the employ of the big insurance
companies.
