P
fly Important point that about 40 per
; cent of the men are middle aged and
' could not pass the severe physical ex
amination they would have to if they
applied individually; to the insurance
company, says J. TS Spencer, tne
Studebaker official who has charge
of the new insurance plan. "In mak
ing our contract the insurance com
pany agreed to accept our physical
test for the men. This is not nearly
so severe."
New employes are investigated be
fore given insurance. If their home
conditions or conduct while away
from work is found to be unsatisfac
tory they are not threatened or warn
ed. On the contrary it is pointed out
to them that if they wish they will
find themselves the gainers by recti
fying conditions. When they skofr
an improvement in their personal af
fairs then their life is insured with
out further quibbling.
If a worker quits or is discharged
the policy is automatically forfeited,
but aside from that he lias -full con
trol over the policy. It is his and he
can make whosoever he wishes his
beneficiary or can change is as'often
as necessary, or as he desires.
"Worry," declares one Studebaker
official, "wears down a man's effici
ency far quicker than hard work.
This insurance idea will take the
everlasting worry about the "family's
future" from the shoulders of the
man even one with -a good job. It's
going to make our men belter work-ingmen'

PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER!
BY CHARLES B. DRISCOLL
The country seeks a seeker for the
highest of her posts, and all through
out the nation they are springing lip
in hosts. Whoever is a native son, or
ever wore silk hat, whoever ever ran
for judge, or in the council sat, who
ever can address the crowd about the
starry flag, has started forward with
his boom; he's handing out his brag.
The restive writers for the press
pound prospects out in reams, they
tell of Bob LaFoIlette and his rosy
morning dreams. They're holding up
the smiling face of William H., "the
fat," and they're dragging to light the
Talking Man who lives beside he
Platte. They are shouting for Eflihu
Root, the Roller Man of yore, and
Teddy sits astride his Moose, prepar
ed to charge once more. There's Ylo-1
tor Murdock from the Plains, whose
hair is smoking red. He's shouting
long and loudly that his party isn't
dead. If Teddy doesn't mind his
Moose hell find it gone some day, for
Vic, the blazing Kansas boy, will ride
the brute away. Oh! There's Borah
from the mountains, and there's
Hughes, whose robe is black, and
there's J. Ham of the Whiskers, who
is always coming back. Let us hear
from Billy Sunday, and mayhap from
Billie Burke, and tell us if in Harry
Thaw ambitious thoughts may lurk.
Has no one thought of Willie Hearst,
John Drew or old Ty Cobb? And poor
old Tony Comstock, who is now with
out a job? Come forward, boys
while coming's good! Each hour a
new one files. The line will reach:
from coast to coast And Woodrow
Wilson smiles ,-j
