The new form ol insurance
of the nrobabiliry that there would
be a great-shortage of men following
the war and a consequent certainty
that there would not be enough to go

This insurance is just as business
like rrA efficient in its arrangements
as is life insurance, according to the
K?.nsas City Times. Instead of pass
ing upon the applicant's health the
agent bases her acceptability as a risk
upon her degree of beauty, personal
ch?-m and wifely qualities.. The
prettiest girls are the best risks, the
homely ones having to pay the high
est m-eniiums.
There appears to be only one dif

is to fix the age at which the insur
ance becomes payable? To claim
the insurance would be tantamount
to an admission on the woman's part
that there is no hope of her. winning
a husband. And a great philosopher

fOR FUNERAL SIMPLICITY.
Elimination of professional or

down in the splendor of funerals of
ihe dead is urged by the Evangelical
Minlittrs' association of Atlanta,

day other than Sunday where
and that lengthy funeral
sermons be cut down to a few words.
Part of the resolutions read: "We
urge upon all people the good form

TRAINING JAPANESE ARTISANS.
A realization of the opportunity
created by the war for J apan to take
the place of Italy in the production
of carved coral has led the Japanese
government, through the marine ex
periment stations, to undertake the
training of artisans in the carving of
coral for sale in Europe and Amer
ica. It is hoped by this measure to
increase the value of coral exports
from the $500,000 received each
year for the crudo coral exported to
$35,000,000 for exports consisting
entirely of carved coral.
