with the present end of the East btark
street sewer trunk at Willow and East
Sixtv-third streets.
These- two trunk sewers will com-
plete the great East Stark street sewer
system as lar as tne main irunas are

"LONG AS SHE
IS NEW POLICY CLAUSE
"Insurance Insurance, " or "Monthly Insurance," Is New Science in
Family's Protection, Taught by Experiences of Past.
BY H. C. FETSCH.
INCOME insurance is not altogether
new, We have had it for some 20
years past, but we have been asleep.
Jf not, why this clarion call and con
centrated effort to sell real life Insur
ance, this new family service of life
insurance?
Insurance men sold the old forms in
the past because they and many of the
companies knew no better. Now, how
ever, with this new service we haven't
that excuse. We usually sell that which
we understand and which we believe
in. We only have lately begun to un
derstand the income feature of life in
surance. It is reported that one of the big
life insurance companies has followed
up its death losses of $5000 or more.
The result of this investigation brings
put the astounding fact that after
seven years 90 per cent of the benefi
ciaries have vloat or spent the entire
proceeds of the insurance and in 10
years' time all or 100 per cent of the
Beneficiaries have lost or spent the
entire proceeds, .
In this -modern ase we nave an tne
types of insurance. Foremost of all
life insurance. Then follow fire, health,
accident, marine, boiler, plate glass
and many others. And now we add
another which I am pleased to call In
surance insurance. In other words, we
can now insure insurance, inn i
income policy. Lump sum insurance s
no longer the real tning tor lamuj
taction. The new service is here. It
h.irins where the old service left off
and carries protection as long as the
family exists. We are enngnieneq. uui
duty is plainly before us enlighten-
mnt rt thA nilblic '
Let me submit a few figures. A policy
of $3000 In any American oia line com
pany will guarantee about $20 a month
for 13 years. By way of comparison,
n.tria. n 110.000 nolicy. The com
pany owes $10,000 cash at death. In
lieu thereof it will pay $652 a year for
20 years. Payments are increased by
surplus interest dividends in some of
the companies. -
The earnings on $10,000 at 5 per cem
are $500 annually. The difference be
tween this and $652 is $152, or 30 per
cent of $500. Again on a 4 per cent
Investment the earnings are $400, roan-
rrn-B of $252. or 63 per cent
of $J00. Therefore, you improve the
conditions of a beneficiary from 30 to
63 per cent by using the income fea
ture of a policy contract on the above
bMen segregate themselves Into two
classes the under-insured and the un
insured. The Income policy is applica
ble to both. . Men carrying fairly large
line of insurance will listen to this
tvpe of Insurance when efforts to place
additional amount on ou iu.ni
fail. We know this to bo true. It may
mean greater effort, more time and
more education to sell the uninsured
this type pf protection, but the result
is worth the additional effort, sinee
larger lines are usually, sold on this
farm.
In presenting monthly income insur
ance, the following method, I think, is
feasible. aB it gives a good idea of the
returns to be expected. Take the in
sured's age about 40, beneficiary about
18 20-payment life continuous monthly
inoome policy $60 per month. The case
being where father desires to protect
the daughter "as long as she shall
live.'1
. Your presentation should be as fol
lows: In consideration of your paying
h nnmoanv $432. for a maximum
period of 20 years, although you may,
of course, pay no more than one pre
mium, the company agrees to pay to
your beneficiary $720 a year for a min
imum period of 20 years and as much
i .ha mav live. Or. again, you
pay the company S per cent of $14,400,
the sum insured, for 0 year at the
most, and the company agrees to pay
to your beneficiary 5 per cent of the
same sum for not less than 20 years
and as long thereafter as the benefi
oiary may live. This gives the pros,
pect a good idea of the proposition, as
it states a relationship between the
amount paid to the company and the
amount to be received by the benefi-
Ci When we examine a continuous
monthly income contract we come
across the following phrase, one to
which I wish to dedicate a few words,

hers "as long as she may live."

Indeed to think of death as a thing t.iat
can possibly come to us, snatching us
MAY LIVE,
rudely from our pleasures and our
friends, as It so often does, with little
warning.
Death seems to us when we take
time to think of It at all. as a horrible
catastrophe that will probably - over
take us when we are very old, but we
think that perhaps by that fime we
won't mind so very much, and so the
thought that suddenly, any minute, we
may be called, is pushed, far from us,
and dwelt upon only in the darkness of
a sleepless night.
For the success of our work In the
world and perhaps too tor our cheer
fulness it is probably as well that this
is so; we might lose ambition entirely
if we were always listening for the
summons, thinking nothing at all worth
while, except perhaps preparation for
a future life, forgetting that our best
preparation for that is in the right liv
ing now. But, on the other hand, could
we more fully realise the thought of
death, how differently we would order
our lives and how much more care we
would take to see that the future of
our dependent ones was Becure.
This sure coming some day of the
dread visitor is. of course, the strong
est arrow in the insurance man's quiv
er, for there isn't a husband or father
anywhere who does not hope or ex
pect to make some sort of provision
for his family. There are thousands
3t men with no property and unin
sured. Every blessed man expeots
to attend to the matter "some
day." He sees men dying all around
him, many of them with no warning
whatever, but it doesn't really come
home to his Inner consciousness that
be may be next, that he may be called
before the provision for his family is
made. It is the part of the insurance
agent to help to bring this realisation
home. Protection la the prime reason
for insurance, founded on love of fam
ily and of homo and the desire to take
care of one's own, not savings, not in
vestment, not anything else but pro
tection. Therefore the insurance agent
has man's primal instinct to appeal to.
an Instinct almost as deeply rooted in
his nature as the Instinct of self-preservation.
For the family is a unit and
it is hjs own for whom he desires to
care.
It Is a well-known fact that no one
has ever heard of a man wtfo on his
death - bed, regretted that he had life
insuranoe. This is so true, it is trite.
Rather does he bemoan the fact that
he did not deny himself and his family
more that he might have left them bet
ter provided for.
.The insurance mar, ig bo prophet of
evil, no bearer of ill tidings; rather is
he the exponent of the gospel of love
and care and rather does be open the
door to the easiest way to show this
love and care, and make provision for
dependent ones, but there would sure
ly be a notable increase In the number
of his applications eould ha sufficient
ly impress his prospects with the
thought that "In the midst of life ye
are in death,'' 1

The work of extending the track of

it will be built to East Fourteenth

This extension is undertaken In view
of the developments in prospect there.
Two firms, Wadhama Kerr Uros. and
the Rasmussen Company, have bought
site in Sullivan's Gulch, near the spgr,
and probably will build in the near fu
ture, . A direct conneotion has been
made with the main line or the Norm

bridge approach, on East Second street.
The Doernberher Furniture Company,
located in Sullivan's Gulch, is erect

East Thirtieth street, on the north
side of the gulch. It ia considered
likely that the Hullivan's Gulch one

Whether a union depot will be built
