had been patent to tho olllclaln of) tli9

holdora by holding thnt tha valuation
placed on certain bonds by ono export out
of iTevcn was tho proper valuation, nnd
on tho basis of thnt doclslou order the
Insurance Department to permit tho com

Why did not the Insurnnco Depart
ment, when, through a lawsuit In the
Pittsburgh courts, It found theso bonds
wore not owned by tho company, de
mand at orico tha aubstltutlon for them
ot other authorized securities In order to
protect tho policyholders?
Why, In tha year 1013, did tho chlof
oxamlnor of the Insurance Department,
on advlco from the thou commissioner,
"Immediately withdraw from tho omco"
of tho Pension Mutual whon tho presi
dent "declined positively and firmly" to
allow him to conduct nn examination?
In view of tho abovo statcmonte, baaed
on soiiio of tho revelations which each
day aro coming to the surface, can It bo
wondered that policyholders aro asking
such questions as tho following:
How many Irresponsible Insurance,
companies nro doing business today
In Pennsylvania without authority
but with tho knowlcdgo ot tho State
department?
How many Insurance companies
havo been examined by the State's
experts and their actual condition
covered up by tho silence or Indiffer
ence ot ofllclnls?
How many Insurance companies
In tho State actually own tho secur
ities which thoy claim they own as
the necessary eafoguarda prescribed
by lnw for tho protection of the pol
icyholders' rights?
Are the securities claimed as assets
by Insurance companies operating In
this Stato subject to litigation to de
termine whether their ownership Is
vested In tho company or In a New

What part of the securities held as
assota by Pennsylvania Insurnnco
companies are In tho same class aa
tho bonds above referred to, whero
In the valuation of about $800,000
worth there could be a fluctuation ot
mora than 1100,000 among bond ex
perts? These .and many similar questions are
no' doubt passing through tho minds ot
thousands of heads ot families who aro
depending solely on their life Insurance
as the only, protection for their families.
and who aro also depending, perhaps to
a greater degree, on the supervision ot
the Insurance Department ot the State

MONEY FOR EVERYTHING BUT
SCHOOLS
To the Editor of the livening Ledger:
Sir Short-sighted omclnls, selfish poli
ticians and a Hoard of Education which
ovlilently doesn't bellovo In IW own tltlo
contlnuo to labor under tho delusion that
Philadelphia la a progressiva city.
Tlicsu superior minds' evidently conclude
that progress consists entirely of marble
convention halls, glittering libraries nnd
opnlinccnt art galleries along nn Ivory-pa vod
Parkway. Thoy Ignoro completely the" per
nlstent and deplorablo fac,t that moro than
30,000 public school children nro on half
tlmo. This means thnt each of theso little
ones will havo to go to school nearly two
years moro than necessary on account of
tho misdirected energy, sclllaltnctsi and Ig
norance of those who nro conducting tho
city's nffulrs.
Aa I am not acquainted with tho sub
terranean flnanclnl complications through
which city monoy Is footbalicd about City
Hall to su.lt thoso who uro playing the
Biime, I can only clto facts which tho
political flnanclere nnd tho BlhVtongucd
czaiM of the misnamed Hoard of Education
cannot refute. Tho board Is always short
of money for schools because It spends from
$300,000 to 1500,000 to build each one,
which Is equipped with all tha latest glm
urackB. Ths only thing loft out now la an
olnclal manicure, but It Is likely that this
will soon bo provided. It might be re
garded tto economy to build such Bchoola,
but If somo of the fancy things wero
omitted It Is poaslblo that each school
building could be erected for u paltry
1200,000.
One of the excuses given by the board
for the lack of schools Is that neighbor
hoods uro constantly changing nnd that
residential sections are becoming business
communities, eto. Whllo tho board theorizes
30,000 children run the Btreets. During tho
laet ten months moro than u hundred
children have been killed whllo playing In
tho streets In the afternoons. Had thero
been morn schools for them to attend their
lives might havo been saved.
Business men's organization are clamor
ing for more fancy buildings for visitors
and athletia bowls, but they would let the
children of tho poor remain In tho soup.
Twenty years ago tho children went to
school morning and afternoon. Hut then
the city was not cluttered up with high
salaried officials, card index systems, ef
ficiency experts and expensive mahogany
desks.
KftlclencyT 30,000 public school children
on half tlmo. Of course you cannot learn
anything about It ot City Hall, for Irtoat
of the oftlclals. their assistants and their
assistants' assistants, together with their
flock ot private secretaries, ure out on the
speedway In their new cara.
It's easy to seo why they want our
future citizens to remain In Ignorance.
Perhaps they want to bequeath their
reign of graft to their own descendants.

MAKE THE PRICE PROHIBITIVE
To the Kdltor of the Evening Ledger;
Sir Now that Congress Is soon to as
semble, It would be In order to fix a price
on the lives of United States citizens, -so
that foreign Governments could Know be
forehand Just-what It would cost to assas
sinate us whenever we were In their way.
We have been told that after the I.usltanla
affair wo were ottered 35000 apiece. This
was very cheap, and our Secretary ot
State would, no accept it on account ot It
being so near the hog price In Germany.
To Ux a fair price on our heads is not
easy. Some people say it has attt us
1100.000.000 already to capture Villa, and
he Is not captured yet. We are not told
how much our Government has spent to
capture the man who blew up the I.usltanla.
Probably he bagged so many more at one
shot that he is oenstdered an expert and
it would be a sham to disturb him. Let
us awuine, however, that we consider our
selves worth 11.090.000 each. That would
be a reasonable figure, and we might be
able to make arrangements In advance with
any foreign country to pay It whenever
their military otttcers accidentally on pur
pose made a mistake nd stopped uj in
our careers before our time was up. Whlah.

Sir Is It a violation of tho law to sell

Is, why should not such an offender be pun

the evidence ot thrco boys, committed the
offense, If offenso it bo. The result was.
that aiaglstcnte Meclenry discharged tho
man "with n severo reprimand."

BAD COLD STORAGE LAWS
Storago eggs nro selling at forty-five
cents a dozen retail, storago butter at
forty-olght cents a pound, nnd our legisla
tors aro bcglnnlni; to talk food embargoes.
Now that we have taken 'bo much of
Kuropo's money, shall wo refuse them food?
Let America practlco economics In food
lines nnd study tho Brent laws governing
food production nnd distribution, not laws
mads by unskilled legislators such as tho
Pennsylvania cold-storago law that provides
for limited periods of storage, and If fol
lowed to tho letter would require tho de
struction of good, wholesome food simply
because it had been In storage over tho
short period ullowed.
Who benefits If good, wholesome food la
mads unsalable by unwise laws such as
exist In Pennsylvania, Fortunately for th
consumer, Pennsylvania laws cannot shut
out storage foods Doming from Chicago and
other points outside of Pennsylvania, other
wise tha above quotation would ttoon bo
doubled,
I.et us have wlso laws. Encourage the
dealer to store more foods. Any child can
understand that restricting the storage of
foods In tho Hush season will not reduce
prices In tlmea of scarcity. Charles S,
Caldwell, In Tha Advance.
JOY IN TilE MARKET PLACE
"What la a pound of sunshine worth?"
I asked the butcher man;
"Sell me. my friend, an ounce of birth,
A dewdrop, If you can!"
The butcher stopped his butchering qulk,
And looked me In the eye,
"Young man.'' he said, "You're getting sick.
Please don't come here to die I"
And then I laughed and yelled aloud.
Till people tilled the store,
And soon there was an awful crowd,
Which laughed to ate me roar.
I said to them, "Good paopla all,
1-havo for you a Jeka,
Tha best that I have heard this fall.
You know that I am breka.
This man has taken all my cash
For tld-blts from his block;
He rob me for my dally hash.
But has na Joy in stok:
"Tha things we value
X are free.

Mountain Heights
S. Heights of mountains nre measured
by three methods: (1) trigonometric ob
servation and calculation; (2) barometrlo
observation nnd calculation, and (3) lines
of precise levels starting from mean Bca
lovel and ending at the mountain base. Tha
last-named method" In tho most accurate.
Tho first method, which gives approximate
results, probably Is tho simplest, draw a
triangular diagram with X as tho top of
the mountain whose hcieht Is to be meas
ured, S the base and lit tho observation
point. The distance M S Is known. Meas
ure the angle 'at M. You now have the
angle M, the distance MB and tho angle at
S, which Is ths right angle. From theso
three known factors you can solve tho trl
anglo hy trigonometry, learning the dis
tance BX. This, added to the distance
caused by tho curvature of tho earth's sur
face, which can be calculated, gives the
helqjit ot the mountain.
