Why Women Should. Be Insured
For many years life insurance
companies believed that their clients
were men only.
Women were considered negligbl?
as far as taking out a life insurance
policy was concerned ? nor is it to
be wondered at, for the business
woman with her pay envelope is a
fairly modern development
Woman of a generation or two
ago would perhaps lay aside a small
amount of money from the sale of
"Eggs & Butter," but was notable
to crcate a sum sufficient to do
much more than take care of the ac
tual needs of her family.
Nowadays, a woman, no matter
what field she may be in, is interest
ed in the future protection of those
near and dear to her, and in syste
matic saving, as a man.
In the past ten or fifteen years
millions of women have entered in
to business pursuits. As a conse
quence, many young wives of today
have had business training. They
know the value of money and the
difficulties they would face if they
were forced to assume all responsi
bility or might they unexceptedly
have to step into the husband's
shoes.
Women are likely to continue to
enter business in ever increasing
numbers and their education along
financial l>'nes is to be further in
creased rather than limited. The
value of thrift as well as the desir
ability of life insurance is in itself
quite a point.
To sum up the vital reason .why
women should buy life insurance on
their own lives is as follows:
1. It crcates the habit of saving.
Fifteen or twenty years ago, if a
man had money in his pocket at the
end of the week, he spent it. In
those days few families over thought
of budgeting their expenditures;
but today almost every househoH
has systematically apportioned its
expenditures unp' finding it easier to
buy life insurance with money that
formerly trickled away through
small leaks and was wasted.
2. It gives protection to the de
pendent.
Insurance sprung from the com
mon need of man ? the need of pro
tection. It is a means of providing
future food, shelter and clothing for
the dependent ones.
The influenza epidemic of a few
years ago, which swept away thous
ands of men in their prime, pointed
to the uncertainties of life and the
necessity for making provisions
against untimely death.
3. It serves as an emergency
fund.
No longer is ij necessary for a son
or a daughter to be deprived of a
college education on the account of
lack of finances. The parent may
now, by laying aside small amounts
of money, create a fund sufficient to
i carry the son or daughter through
i college. For life insurance compan
ies now offer a plan by which thia
problem may be solved,
i 4. It is an old age pension.
It is most important for a woman
to insure herself for her own pro
tection. Look around you. Your
community, as well as every other
neighborhood, has its pathetic num
ber of old women who are without
; funds and rely upon charities or rel
atives for the mere necessities of
life, when, if only a few years ago,
j had they started this habit of saving
I a small amount of their earnings and
invested it in a life insurance coif
tract which in turn would have given
that secure feeling of independence
during the latter part of their days.
I Here is what life insurance does
for the average woman:
; It compels her to save on a scale
tfci she herself has named after due
deliberation.
It joins her savings with others in
a cooperative investment that Is big
enough to secure all advantages.
It puts her savings into the hands
of those whose business it is to
know what she cannot know about
investments.
It Rives her earnings the safe
guards provided by state laws af
fecting insurance companies.
It leaves her free to give her
whole time and thought to further
earning, saving her all vexation and
anxiety incident to the care of prop
erty.
Therefore the more money a wo
man earns the more life insurance
she needs, and the better able she is
to pay for it.

NEW DAY AND A NEW DEAL
FOR WOMEN AS HOME-MAKERS
Many a tired mother used to say:
"Oh, any ignorant woman can cook
;mend. 8ew, wash dishes, scrub floors,
and do such menial work about the
house." The time is gone forever
when housework is considered men
ial, if it were ever 60 thought of,
and now we realize that if a house
wife is going to be anything better
than a drudge and a slave, she must
possess a special knowledge that re- J
quires a certain specific education in j
addition to experience.
Men have belittled the idea and
have scoffed at the thought of com
paring a woman's work in the home
with g man's work in the office, fac
tory or store. Women are particu- 1
iarly responsible for the man's at-,
titude, because of the low value that j
women have set upon their own
work.
An in the factory, so in the home,
raw materials must be purchased and
I converted into finished products;
'counties.? operations must be super
vised and directed; various seeming
ly detached enterprises must be fost
ered and developed and made to co
orinate with all of the general fam
ily activities. The labor problem
must be considered and dealt with;
heating and illuminating factors must
be invested and turned to the best
possible advantages, overhead costs,
running expenses and depreciation
insistently demand intelligent atten
tion, and with a':! these problems the
human equation of relationship, of
intimate family ties combined with
the perplexing questions of educa
tion, ethics, religion and society de- 1
jmand serious thought. The home
manager must consider every detail
j of every problem of household ac
; tivitiy, but sdeh problems must be
'considered in relation to every in
j dividual in the household.
I The successful housewife should
| now be equipped with a general ed
ucation. In addition she should have
some knowledge of economic condi
tions; she should know something
about chemistry; she should under
stand not a little about the myster
ies of the human body, its physiol
ogical processes, its needs and its
care; she should know something of
food valuer and of cookery, and in
all respects she should be a success
ful purchasing agent. She should be
'something of a dressmaker and a mil
liner. She should know something
about bookkeeping and accounting
and business methods in general.
While making a home involves far
more than a knowledge of material
values, with such an equipment any ,
woman's success as a homemaker is
more nearly assured. She probably
.will have to meet the teacher's prob
lems of the child's education, but in
a more vital way. If, in addition, i
~\hursday, March 13th , we start a
special 9- day demonstration of the
new Frigidaire
HYDRATOR
Desserts and salads
will be served. New
recipe books will be
given away. Be sure

HERE'S your oppor
tunity to find out
all about the marvel
ous new Frigidaire
Hydrator.
On Thursday,
March 13th, we start
a special 9-day dem
onstration ? one of the most interesting
ever held in our showroom.
We will show the Hydrator in actual

And that is not all you will see.
The latest household cabinets in
Porcelain-on-steel will be on display.
The famous "Frigidaire Cold Con
trol" will also be demonstrated. You
will be shown how this device freezes
ice cubes faster ? how it permits you to
make scores of unusual desserts that)
require extreme cold.
Will you be our guest?

she is a philosopher, a musician, an
artist or has other opecial gifts, she
will find full scope for these talents
in her home.
Because household management is
an art, a business and a profession,
it does not necessarily follow that it
can be based upon one set of defin
ite rules or standards. Office hoars
cannot be maintained, A bookkeep
er cannot be hired to take charge of
the household accounting. However,
any household manager who will en
deavor to run the home upon ft bus
iness basis will find that efficiency
brings as great returns in proportion
in the home as it does in business. ^
THEYEDUCATETHE ;
LITTLE ORPHAN ANNS
Little Orphan Annie need not al
ways sigh for an education in vain.
She may even go through normal
school sponsored and financed by a
business and professional women s
club as did Miss Anna Barker of
Illinois. Raised in an orphanage, she
longed to become a teacher, in the
town where she was attending high
school a group of business and pro
fessional women had interested
themselves in ambitious school girl*
ana with the unanimous approval o;
Anna's teachers chose her as the re
cipient of a loan fund to enable^ her
to attend the state normal schooi.
She worked hard and made a fine
record. In writing later of the loan
she said, "I have enjoyed every dol
lar of it and I'll have a good time
paying it back." When she _ was
ready to apply for her first position
sh? took a train at three o'clock in
the morning to go to a distant town
to interview the school board, anil
she got the job! Her first pay chect
brought a real thrill, and she began
at once to make payments on the
loan of $400 which had kept her in
the normal shoo) for two years. Ev
ery expense was carefully budgeted.
She decided that she could make old
clothes do since they were new to toe
people in her new environment.
"There's not even a show in town,
she wrote, "so it's a good place t
save." And she a&Ted, "The soon
I get my debt paid back to you, tiie
sooner someone else can get the ben
efit of it."
This is But a Sample of the Kind of
Education Work Sponsored by the
National Federation of Business
and Prof. Women's Clubs.
Some five hundred educationa
funds have been established by local
business and professional women s
elubs. Over a thousand girls and at
least two boys have received help
from these funds. The d'sburse
Yirnts have been over $li>?,000.
Most of the funds are revolving,
oancd to girls who return the money j
lfter they hnve completed their
chooling and have taken their first
positions.
In 1912, at Chattanooga, Tennes
iee. Dr. Orie Latham Hatcher of
Richmond, Virginia, president of the
Southern Women's Educationa A -
iance and at that time National Ed
ication Chairman of the federation,
irged the importance of establish
ng "a sane and adequate standard
if" general education as a basis for
eehnicl training for business. The
educational slogan then adopted.
'At least a high school education i ici
?verv business girl" has sounded in
,ver" 1000 communtiies in the Unitea
States since then. It was discovered
hat lack of funds was one important
?eason for girls leaving school and
roing to work before they had com
>leted a high school course. The girls
vho make use of these loan fund.-,
unsider it a high honor to be spon
:ored by a business and professional
.-omen's club. Many receive their
irst training in businesslike pro
cedure through the contacts thus es
.ablished with experienced busine-s
In certain clubs not only is
idvanced to enable girls to go
hrough high school but courses in
.echnical schools and colleges are al
to financed. Moreover fourteen state
federations of the organization have
*ducational funds for specific put
poses. I
