Life Insurance Policies
for Men Going to War
CHICAGO, June 25.—The chief topic
now discussed in life insurance circles
In this country are policies for men
about to enter the war and a plan to
meet financial conditions expected to
be caused by an increased mortality.
Robert Lynn Cox, formerly secre-
tary of the Association of Life Insur-
ance President, has carried a protest
to Washington against the passage of
that section of the gross production
tax-bill which would put a tax of eight
cents on each hundred dollars' worth
of insurance written. The sentiment
among some insurance officials is that
men should be insured at the regular
rates, that the government should
make an annual audit of deaths,—
(all policy holders who are partici-
pants in the war being listed in a sep-
arate class)—and that the government
should make up to the insurance com-
panies any drain on their mortality
funds in excess of that provided for
In the accepted American mortality
table.
Such action by the government was
advocated in a letter written recently
by Clafence L. Avers, a prominent in-
surance man of Detroit, to President
Wilson. In his letter Mr. Ayers,
nmong other things, said:
"By this method the men would be

panies now accepting these risks, the,,, . _ , , ,, . „

The enrollment of membership lit
the Red Cross booth yesterday was
a little higher than on any previous
day, 113 names being added to the
list during the day, Including a life
membership by Mrs. D. M. Seybold,
while the highest mark for any day
before was 110. Yesterday was not
the last day of the membership cam-
paign, as some have seemed to think.
The campaign for contributions to
raise Bell county's part of the *100,-

actual cost of carrying insurance onj
the lives of men engaged in defense Mitcham
of their country. The companies could
be restricted to issuance of policies of
not to exceed $2,000 on men in cer-
tain branches of the service, in other
branches this could be limited to
varying amounts and in no case to ex-
ceed $5,000."
In no branch of financial activity in
this country have the effects of war
conditions been more far-reaching
than in life insurance, according to L.
Brackett Bishop, of Chicago, who has
long been prominent as an insurance
executive, in outlining present and fu-
ture phases of life Insurance in the
i'nited States, Mr. Bishop said:
Before the declaration of war with
Germany no provisions were made in ]
the writing of life Insurance policies, i Sevier, A. (.. Plaster, Mrs.
for extra premiums on account of the | Plaster, Clementine Plaster,
war, because it w.s at first hoped and j Brown,
believed that this country would not i
be involved. But almost as soon as
war was declared extra premiums were
added to policies written by all the
important Insurance companies, the
increase ranging from $37.60 in some
companies to $200 per thousand dol-
lars in others. The extra premiums
apply to all who take out policies be-
fore entering any branch of war ser-
vice—army, navy or aviation—except
that some companies do not increase I
the rates on policies written for men |
who, though joining the army, do not
leave this country. The increase in |
rates do not, of course, apply to pol- j
icies in force before the war.
"In order to bring about a uniform-1
ity of rates heads of the leading com-
panies have within the last few weeks
recommended adoption of figures on
which all could agree. Some com-
panies delayed putting the war rates
into immediate effect In order to en-
courage business, and it is only within
the last week that one of the largest
companies Increased the premiums. A
few companies have gone on record
as refusing to write any insurance,
even at the higher rates, for any one
enlisted in arm or navy.
"The whole life insurance situation
will be discussed at a meeting of the
National Association of Life Under-
writers, to be held in New Orleans in
September. A meeting of the Ameri-
can Life Insurance convention, to ho
held also in September will consider
these matters as will the annual
meeting, in New York city; January,
of the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents.
"I favor the plan of the government
reimbursing the insurance companies
for ihe excess drain > n their mortal-
ity funds due to the war and I advo-
cated such a measure several years
ago, when this country and Mexico
were at odds,"

caping from a smuggler, boards a
train to the north. Boby Guerton
(Earle Fox), a disinherited son of a
! millionaire, has terminated a carouse
i by marrying a certain young lady.
' and they also board the train. In
j a wreck the newly made wife is killed,
' and Eileen, to save herself from the
police, takes her place. Boby, so
drunk the night before, fails to pene-
trate the deception and only con-
gratulates himself on his hasty se-
lection of a wife. Four years later
they are living in happiness and their
child proves the means of reconciling
Boby with his father. Crow, the
smuggler, turns up again and at-
tempts to blackmail Eileen, but is

Bewsie Harriseale in New Triangle i
Piny, "liawbs o' Blue Ridge." '
Bessie Barriscale is seen In a fan-
tasv-drtma of the mountains in
"Bawbii o' Blue Ridge," a new Tri-
angle-Kay Bee play from the pen of
Monte M. Katterjohn. This is the
subject that has been spoken of as
a "second edition of 'Peggy,' " and in
it Miss Barriscale is said to present a
characterization quite as naive and
charming as did Miss Burke In the
former Triangle-Ince success.
"Bawbs o' Blue Ridge" is the ef-
fervescent tale of a mountain waif
i whose ignorance of grammar nearly
: results in a disaster. Its action is
laid in the mountains of Virginia and
concerns the romance that served to
lighten the burdensome existence of
Barbara Colby, orphan <and compan-
ion of bugs, bees, frogs and birds.
A new leading man—new at least
to Triangle patrons—is seen opposite
| Miss Barriscale in this play. He is
Arthur Shirley, and he plays the part
of Ralph Gunther, the "writin' man,"
who at last brings happiness into the
life of the little waif.

The Secretary of Commerce makes j
the following announcement:
"The Bureau of Standards of the
Department of Commerce, after two
and a half years of continuous study
and experiment in the making of
optical glass, has achieved satisfact-
ory results, and is prepared to pro-
duce optical glass. Additions are now
being made to the working plant re-
quisite to permit larger production to
supply the needs of the Government.
"The matter is one of essential im-
portance to the military services of
the Nation. Heretofore this material,
of the hcbt grade, has been wholly
made in Germany: but the United
States is henceforth independent of
any foreign supply for this important
product."
Optical glass is used in making

paratus, chemical laboratory equip-
ment, and many other necessary art-
icles.—The Official Bulletin.

Henri Clayton Company.
The play by the Henri Clayton
company at the big tent last night
was "The Elixir of Love," a comical
two-act offering in which a party of
suffragetts visit a hotel and take the
rooms of Baron Von Hosenfeffer.
Von Hosenfeffer demonstrates the
elixir of love and several comical
scenes follow. It makes the person
to whom it is given love the giver.
The song numbers were well received
by an appreciative audience, the song
of Miss Ivy Sanders, "Carissimar,"
and of Miss Leona Remington, "Take
Me to My Alabam," being well re-
ceived. This show is above the or-
dinary and was well received by an
appreciative audience, being the
largest tent show that has ever visit-
ed Temple, and it is really a treat.
The comedians are funny and clean
with their wit. The Great Clayton
answered several questions and gave
satisfaction In aall answers and will
prove a favorite and is also giving
an exhibition that has never been
seen before in Temple. Change of
bills every night.
The comeddians are Duncan and
Dow, the straight man Williams, the
character man Jackson and the char-
acter woman Mr^. Jackson. The
show has a very excellent chorus
and judging from the way that the
entire program was received last
night will prove to be a very popular
attraction all this week.

GENERAL HIT,EN IN AUSTIN.
Confers With Adjutant General
Hutehlngs on Military Matters.
Austin, Tex., June 25.—General
John A. Hulen, commanding officer
of the Texas National Guard, was
here today conferring with Adjutant
General Hutchings on military mat-
ters. General Hulen said that so Jar
there had been enlisted about one-
third of the men needed to bring
the guard up to a division, there
having been recruited nearly 3,000.
Ho said that trouble is being experi-
enced In getting suitable and trained
officers for the Increased guard. The
guard has until August G in which to
complete its organization, that is, on
that date the guard will be taken
into the federal service.
Kain in Travis County.
Austin, Tex,, June 25.—The drouth
in Travis and surrounding counties
was broken when last evening over
three Inches of rain prevailed. The
precipitation was exceedingly heavy
in this and adjoining counties and
has resulted In great benefit to the
farmers. The feed crops have been
saved by this timely rain, as well as
the growing cotton crop.

The Secretary of the Navy has com-
mended Harry Selby, chief boats-
wain's mate of the U. S. S. Olympla,

Now that It has rained and a per-
son can talk optimistically without
danger of being slugged for raising
false hopes, it is to be recorded that
Bell county has produced a big yield
of wheat.
Mr. Willie, of the Willig Flouring
mill, and the man who keeps in close
touch with the wheat raisers of this
section, is authority for the state-
ment that the yield per acre this year
is better than for several years past,
while the quality is extraordinarily
good, weighing in at from sixty to
sixty-two pounds per bushel. Fifty-
eight pounds per bushel is considered
good wheat, and the present weight
is nearly equal to the No. 1 of Min-
nesota, which classification calls for
64 pounds.
Mr. Willig states that his mill is
grinding new wheat right along and
that it Is dry and in splendid condi-
tion for making high grade flour. He
says further, that those who are
bringing in wheat for grinding or for
sale declare that they will plant more
extensively next year and that their
neighbors are also decided to enter
into the w heat game.
The per acre yield varies consider-
ably, but yields of fifteen to twenty
bushels are not uncommon, and even
where the crop is only five to ten
bushels, the price, from $2.25 to $2.50
per bushel, makes good return to the
farmer, and the larger quantities
bring the wheat Income up to half
the value of the land, or more, Some
late planted wheat was plowed un-
der. but the early planting has veri-
fied the prediction that wheat was
the one safe bet for this year's crop-
ping. i

loving title given to Henry Clay Bar-
nabee, known In America and Europe
as one of the most active singers of
opera roles of his time. He was the

Porter in "Pinafore" the first time it
was presented In America. He was
for over sixty years known as the
only man who could sing "The Cork
Leg" and the ballad "O Loving Heart,
Trust On," written for him by Gotts-
chalk, the famous composer. Shortly

the most popular musical organiza-
tions ever known to American opera
lovers. In later life he retained his
splendid quality of voice, still singing

When Y oii've Worn Out the Tires
that Came on Your Car
One will go first. Replace that one with a General
Tire. Watch it as closely as you watched the new
tires on your new car. Every mile of use will show
you the superiority of The General.
We can make this prediction with certainty because
The General Tire is never sold in price competition
to car manufacturers. The makers of The General
Tire don't believe in the doubtful advertising value
of putting skimped tires on a great quantity of can
just to sell Generals in wholesale quantities.
Each General Tire is made for giving the utmost
satisfaction at a moderate price to some individual
car owner. That's why they give so much greater
mileage than the 5,000 mile guarantee. ^ Buy QQ
