WORRY GREATEST FAULT OF WOMEN COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 30. In plain, old-fashioned worry is found the "greatest fault of modern women," according to Rev. S.W. Rosenberg, in an address here. "There are a large number of women who worry so much over the cooking that they fail to enjoy the eating," he declared. "They worry so much over keeping house that they fail to make a home." They worry so much about making Mrs. Otto Gardner and Mr. and Mrs. George Smith and two children of Whittier and Mr. and Mrs. Francis Walker.

WINNER BANANAS ROTTEN, SO'S THE SHOW BERLIN, April 30—Three bananas got a fruitigner into a 10:10 show at Luckenwalde, one of Berlin's suburbs, recently, but they got him out again just as fast as they get him in. The show appeared in Luckenwalde and opened up in the town hall. Had an hour after the curtain was scheduled to go up there were only 25 persons in the house and the management was beginning to wonder how long a walk it was to the next town. At this moment a fruit dealer appenced at the box office and said he had over spaculated in bananas and had no money. He would, however, pay three bananas for an admission to the balcony. Bananas appealed to the manager and he let the fruit man in. Two unnites later he went in after him and hauled him out by the serviff of the neck. "What is the matter?" asked the elected banana coerer. "Your bananas were rotten," the manor replied. "Not half as rotten as your show," said the fruit man. And he got in again. A gearless auto has been invented. It combines the use of gasoline with compressed air. An automobile has been invented in France that travels 60 miles on 25 cents of charcoal from which gas is generated. DID GRIEF CAUSE ENGINE TO FAIL? GADSDEN, Ala., April 30—Was it sentiment—grief over the resignation of its old master—that caused Engine No. 170, on the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis railroad, to crack and crumble under the hand of a young and new master here the other day? This was the opinion of "Pap" Jolly, who for 31 years was the only hand which "170" knew and obeyed. "Pap" Jolly, after 51 years with the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway Co., retired the other day on a pension. He had driven "170" for 31 years, and a tear or two could be detected in his eye as he rubbed his hand over the smooth surface of the old engine and departed for his home and retirement. The next day "170" left Gadsen under a new master, Sol Lane. Lane is considered a good driver, and all that; but old "170" never made the trip back under her own steam, but, broken and spent, was towed in the following night. Old "170" now been sent back to the shops. She may be restored to service thru several major operations, or she may be relegated to the scrap heap. Most people thought that the old engine was worn and spent from old age. But those who have learned the way of locomotives and who have watched "Pap" ITALIAN ENGINE USES POWER ENERGY ROME, April 30.—A locomotive that requires coal, gasoline, wood, nor city as fuel, is claimed to have invented by Signor Zarini Rome engineer.

DIRECTING AIDE OF PAN-AMERICAN UNION IS NAMED BRITISH CABINET GAINS STRENGTH LONDON, April 30. — The friendly reception of the labor government's first budget placed the McDonald cabinet in a stronger position today. Leaders of both the Labor and Liberal parties said they were well phased with the budget the Liberals claiming it is a sign that the Laborites are willing to co-operate with them. The Daily News declared that the central reception of the budget had "postponed the possibility of an immediate general election." Philip Snowden, chancellor of the exchequer, who drew up the budget, proved himself an economist of the first order as well as an associate politician. Former premier Aquith's endorsement of the budget indicates that the Liberals and Laborites will cooperate in passing it in the house of Commons. Liberal party leaders meet this afternoon to decide on a definite policy, while the Tories will meet tomorrow. The Tories undoubtedly will oppose the abrogation of the McKenna duties, but due to the fact that the party was decisively defeated upon the tariff issue in the last election, they may not force the issue in commons beyond protecting. Some of Tory "die hards," however, probably will insist that the issue be brot to a vote to test the stability of the Laborite gov- Dr. Estaban Gil Borges.

In 1923 the Metropolitan grew faster than any other life insurance company in the world; grew in income—in assets—and in the effectiveness of its campaign for better health for the whole country. The Metropolitans sends trained nurses to the homes of thousands of Industrial (i.e., weekly premium) policyholders when they are sick. In 1923 these nurses made 2,482,919 visits. While the average life span in the general population of the United States is 5½ years greater than it was 11 years ago, the life span of the Industrial policyholders of the Metropolitan increased nearly 8½ years in the same interval. This greater gain has resulted in large part from the Metropolitan's Health Service. During 1923 the Metropolitan distributed 33,790,840 booklets and pamphlets dealing with health, general welfare and longer life. The total number of pieces distributed to date amounts to 305,990,507. The Metropolitan arranges for free periodic health examinations for holders of Ordinary policies. Among those who availed themselves of this privilege, the death rate was found to be 28% lower than was expected for the group. The Metropolitan cooperates with the companies to which it has issued group insurance for their employees—cooperates not only in giving insurance protection but also to promote better health, better working conditions, better living conditions. 55,643,362.95 2,359,034,859.00 1,430,697,111.00 30,221,727 430,866 180,294,982.83 The Metropolitan cooperates with the companies to which it has issued group insurance for their employees—cooperates not only in giving insurance protection but also to promote better health, better working conditions, better living conditions and happier social conditions. Life insurance, which cares for the home and family, is born of a deep sense of responsibility. When millions of people join in a mutual sharing of this responsibility the result is the splendid picture shown in the 1923 report of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Never before has the world seen such a Business Statement nor had such an opportunity to look into the hearts of men and women, and to find there—Kindness. Harry Bicke. President.
