CHICAGO LABOR WAR ENDS Industrial Activities of Country Gradually Are Creeping TJp and ' Agricultural Prospects Bright, SOS Per Cent Biggest Gain. The building operations of the coun try for seven years, as revealed by the permits Issued in the larger cities, still show a moderate recession, as com pared with the corresponding period of 1914. There is for the month of July a gain both in tbe totals and the per centage, as compared with June, the shrinkage last month aa compared with July. 1914, being 15 per cent, while the comparative loss for June was 23 per cent. Tbe outlook' Is more favorable than a month ago. The labor troubles in the building trades at Chicago have been overcome. The industrial activities of the coun try at large are gradually creeping upward and the agricultural prospects are glowing. The story of the railway earnings has opened a chapter that promises a happier ending than the re turns of that nature for some months past. Another circumstance favorable to the" purely statistical viewpoint Is that the comparisons for tha remain ing months of the year will be with that period of 1914 that was the more depressed, and- decided gains may therefore ressonably be anticipated. The official reports of building per mits issued in 71 cities during July, as received by the American Contrac tor. Chicago, total $59,164,001, as com pared with $54,740,303 for June and with $70.J68.509 for July last year. Xearly one-third of the cities, or 23, show gains, the more notable of these including Lincoln. Neb., with a'363 per cent gain to its credit: South Bend. 256 per cent; Evansville, Ind, 211 per cent; Akron, O.. 1S3 per cent; Topeka, 162; Troy. 141; Scranton, 89: New Haven. 85: St. Joseph. 77, and Buffalo, 52. For the first seven months of the year the total building permits issued in 66. cities reached a total of $392. 3S3.018. as compared with $443,420,770 for the corresponding period of 1914: julv.

BT LITE INSURANCE EDITOR. When the House of Representatives was discussing old-age pensions in 1911. Representative Berger. in his no table speech, declared that the pro posed pension scheme for needy per sons more than 60 years old would have to do with about 2,675.000 indi viduals in this country. F. L. Hoffman, a keen critic on old age penson schemes, estimated in 1908 that 1.786,161 - persons more than 60 ye'ars of age would be entitled to pen sions. Other, statisticians agree that the figure Is somewhat more than 2,000.000 at present. At any rate, a minimum pension of $10 a month for this . vast army ol needy would increase the tax burden in the United States by at least $240, 000,000. to say nothipg of the increased expense which would be incurred by the monthly distribution of these funds. .Dependent Women Decreasing.

Comparing the number admitted during the census year, it appears that the totals for 1910 exceed those of 1904. age 55 to 80 by 12 per cent. Men increased by 17 per cent, while women fell off about 7 per cent. . Lest these figures gather undue sig nificance, it should be stated that the decennium. 1900-1910. swelled the gen eral population by nearly 2,000.000 per sons between 55 and 80, a general gain of 27 per cent. Hence It is obvious, declared Mr. Todd, that If depenaenoe is on -crease in those age groups, it is being taken care of outside of the public almshouses and other charitable insti tutions. in The fact mat i.ne ...

"It is the real estate agent whose ap peals awake the dormant ambition to own a home, who arouses the instinct ot thrift, who sees all the good points In a region, a subdivision of a region or a particular spot in a subdivision who notes all the possibilities, all the advan tages of climate and soil and oppor tunity." continues the item.

From these statistics it is obvious that life insurance is making vast in roads on pauperism and dependency. This Is made especially manifest by the fact that the female dependents have shown such a material decrease during the last decade. Men Dependents Are Fewer. It is also encouraging to note that the increase in male dependents aver ages considerably below the general I increase of men in this age group. During 1914 the legal reserve mo in surance companies of this country paid out to policy-holders and beneficiaries $507.587,371v It is reasonable to believe that about '85 per cent of these funds were paid to women, and. furthermore, that more than 50 per cent will serve tV a- LILIIAS IKI.B OS EAST TWENTY-EIGHTH HTH KET. to provide independence for women who will eventually enter the age group, 55 to 80. Legal reserve life insurance has been increasing at a rate of more tljan one billion dollars annually. It increases twice as rapidly as our National wealth and three times as fast as our population. Even if it just maintains its present relative ratio of increase with our population and National re sources, it is only a question of a few decades until it will elevate the social status of the industrial population of this country to a high rank. Despite the fact that this great force is handicapped with burdensome taxa tion and unjust legislation, which in some cases is practically prohibitory, it will eventually solve the old-age pen sion problem for us, as it has In Ger many, by its gradual reduction of pau perism and dependency. ioned man to b a good real estate man."
