18 TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, XOVE3IBER 26, 1916. SURETY COMPANIES iT FILE MU BONDS More Stringent Regulations Are Provided For in New Insurance Code. MUTUALS ASK FOR RULES TRADES SCHOOL GIRLS SHOW CLEVER FROCKS AND ELABORATE GOWNS MADE IN CLASS. 22 Commissioner Says Iiosses Hare Been Sustained Through Method of Some Suerty Concerns, and Measure Guards Insured. Stricter regulations are to be Im posed upon surety companies doing? business in Oregon under the terms of the new insurance code just drafted by the commission snpointed two years ajjro by Governor "Withycombe. One important provision is that every surety company operating in the state will have to file a surety bond of Its own, signed by two other Furety companies, guaranteeing the faithful performance of It3 contracts. Harvey Wells, State Insurance Com missioner, has prepared the following review of the code as it affects fidel ity and surety companies, mutual fire Insurance companies and inter-insurance exchanges: The code commission, in making recommendations for Casualty insur ance, desires it expressly understood that their recommendations do not in any way conflict with the present stat utes relating to the act pertaining to the creating and regulating of the State Industrial Accident Commission, and if there should be any word, line or section that can be construed to af fect this commission, they have re quested that It be expunged from the proposed code. Confusion Is Much Relieved. Probably one of the most important sections of the code is the one relating to surety companies, for, in the ab sence of proper laws governing this kind of indemnity, it has. In the past, caused confusion and some litigation. Other kinds of Insurance are written for a definite period, and when noon comes on the last day of the policy year, the company knows its risk is terminated. With a surety bond the situation is very different. Often the liability in curred may not develop for months, and even years, after thep remium year has elapsed. In the case of bonds written for administrators, ex ecutors, guardians, etc., the limitation of time of action on such bonds is gov erned by statutes, except in case of fraud, in which event the statutes will not begin to run until after discovery of the fraud. There are two general clasaes of suretyship fidelity bonds and surety bonds. A fidelity bond is one wherein the surety agrees to Indemnify the em ployer in case of the dishonesty of the employe. These bonds are written largely on the theory that the majority of men are honest. Companies Grow More Cautions. A surety bond is an obligation which, in addition to being responsible for the honesty of the principal, guar antees that he will perform a contract in accordance with plans, specifica tions or agreement, or that he will pay a. sum of money in case of certain eventualities; and, therefore, surety companies are becoming somewhat conservative, for, as a rule, before a contractor can secure a bond, they carefully investigate his ability, such ns his experience, his working capital, liis ability to superintend and figure the cost of material and labor, and whether he is properly protected against loss by fire and injury to workmen. This latter statement brings out dearly the distinction between the risks assumed under a. fidelity bond, which is liable only in the event the principal is dishonest, and the liability under a surety bond, where the surety may suffer loss through any one or more of a dozen causes. There are many kinds of bonds that these surety companies issue which necessitate a careful study, and great rare must be exercised in the selection of surety risks. Unfortunately there have been companies in this state which have not been conservatively managed, and have retired from this state, leaving the citizens to suffer fi nancial loss, therefore some manner of a deposit has been suggested in oraer to protect future retirements or fail ures and a way to collect judgments without legal process in the home state of the company. The commission has under consider ation a requirement providing for each surety company to file with the In surance Commissioner a Burety bond for $25,000, signed by two other surety companies for the faithful performance of its obligations to its policyholders within this state. The commission has recommended a provision that, before any company from any other state can obtain a li cense, it must have a paid-up capital of $250,000 and a surplus of $100,000, and no company may be authorized to transact such business in this state un less it holds an unrevoked certificate from the Secretary of the Treasury of . tne united states showing that such company has qualified to write bonds for the Federal Government, and they will be required to file a copy of such certificate quarterly with the Innur ance Commissioner as evidence that their bonds are still acceptable to the Federal Government, and they will not be permitted to issue bonds on anv one risk greater than the amount that the federal Government will accept. Release May be Obtained. They recommend that any surety may be released by giving 13 days' notice, and must file a copy of the notice with the Secretary of State, Clerk of the county. Clerk of the school district or clerk or secretary of any commission, and receive acknowledg ment of the notice signed by the proper official before such bond is released. Any surety company wising to termi nate the liability undertaken on any bank depository may cancel its bond by giving 30 days' notice to the offi cial whose duty it is to approve such bonds, and any officer whose duty it is to approve any bank depository bond may terminate the liability of such depository bond by giving 30 days' notice to the surety company. Under the present law there is no provision for the release of a surety company or the cancellation of a bond, and the above recommendations arc made . for the purpose of providing a way for a release both by the policy holder and the company. They also provide a section that, where any state, county or municipal ity, officer or officers of any school district or public commission, or depu ties employed in any public office, and are required to give a bond, that the premium shall.be paid out of the funds tf the office. This will, by law, com pel every official who has an employe handling funds, or performing any other duties' of public trust, to give a bond and release the official from the embarassment of asking his best friend to give a bond.

The recommendations submitted have the approval of our own mutual compa nies. The success of mutual insurance depends upon the capacity of its man agerial force and the lack of proper management will p'rove disastrous. Companies Ask Regulation. The insurance department has made a careful investigation and finds that thn present companies are being effi ciently and wisely managed, and these companies realize that they must have a law that will not only give them pro tection, but their members as well, and they have now come forward asking for special regulations. The commission recommends that all foreign mutual companies shall have cash assets of not less than $200,000, of which $100,000 shall be net cash sur plus, and when they accumulate this amount they may issue In this state policies without mutual liability to the policyholders, and their recommenda tions do not prohibit any policyholder from obtaining insurance in companies outside of this state. The committee has recommended cer tain requirements for the organization of new mutual companies which pro-? vide that ne companies shall not commence ousiness . until tney nave $500,000 of insurance pledged, and every member agrees to take the pol icy or policies subscribed for, and to pay an advance assessment within 30 day of the granting of a license by the Insurance Commissioner. Annual Statement Required. They also require ihat any mutual company may make such by-laws not inconsistent with the laws of this state for the management of its affairs and that every company shall issue only the standard form of policy, but grant ing it the privilege of printing in tne policy its by-laws making it manda tory that the members are bound by the constitution and by-laws of the company. It may, when canceling a policy, retain the amount due for an assessment to apply to losses and ex penses accruing during the time the policyholder is a member of the com pany, and any member may withdraw his membership from the company by giving five days' notice, surrendering his policy and paying any assessment due or pending. All companies will be required to file an annual statement showing its fi nancial condition up to December 31 of each year, and when it appears to the Commissioner that the resources of the company are les3 than the re quirements of this act. he shall notify the directors to correct such deficiency within 60 days, and if such deficiency is not made good, the Commissioner shall immediately notify the members of the condition of the company and take charge of its affairs. If the officers or members feel that the Commissioner is exceeding his au thority, they have the privilege of ap plying to any court of proper Jurisdic tion, asking for a review of any order or action taken by the Commissioner, and the court shall decide whether the company's resources are sufficient to proceed in the conduct of its business. Inter-Insurance Exchange!. The commission has recommended certain provisions relating to inter-insurance exchanges, which is a form of Insurance wherein policyholders, known as subscribers, exchange in demnity among themselves through the medium of any attorney-in-fact. It is resorted to very extensively by Insur ers having property interests finan cially large, widely separated, and rep resenting practically the same hazards; thus, one exchange will confine its op erations to sawmills, another to de pardtment stores and Jobbing houses, etc. Many of our large merchants and manufacturers are members of these exchanges. Our present Inadequate law govern ing this class of insurance has serious ly handicapped the department in its efforts to maintain proper standards. and the subject has1 had serious con sideration, with the result that the proposed provisions of the code will enable the insurance department to exercise ample supervision over the various exchanges doing business, or proposing to do business, in this state, and at the same time will bring in creased revenue to the state, as here tofore they have been exempt from taxation. Th total revenue the Insurance de partment received for taxes and li cense fees for 1915 from surety com panies was $3591, and from foreign an a -I domestic mutual companies. $1048.

AD EXPERT IS VISITOR DIRECTOR OF PCBLISHERS' BIREAU PLEASED WITH CITV. Movement la on to Increase' National Publicity Paper Shortage Mart ins Press In East. William A. Thompson, director of the Bureau of Advertising for the Ameri can Newspaper Publishers' Association, with offices in New York, made many complimentary references to Portland while in the city yesterday on his first visit to the Pacific Coast. Mr. Thomp son says the vast squares that mark the Western state on the map give an in dication of the broad spirit, the fine feeling and the hospitality of the people. "Business is booming in the East," ne saia. in iaci, in the newsuaner business it is almost too good. The scarcity of white paper is the cloud on the horizon. If providence and the paper manufacturers will give us paper, there will be no difficulty in getting all the business that can be handled. "The Bureau of Advertising repre sents a movement by the newspapers of the United States and Canada to de velop more advertising by National ad vertisers. The work of the bureau has taken on a wide scope, that Includes an investigation of market conditions, the purpose being to make advertising more profitable and beneficial. "The newspaper is gaining ground as a National advertiser, as well as the medium for local advertising. Not less than $300,000,000 will be spent in the newspapers of the United States tirls year for local advertising, and in addi tion to this sum, $75,000,000 more will be expended for National advertising. This National advertising figure is more than two times as great as the business carried by all the magazines. This is a gain of about $20,000,000 over 1915." While Early Training of Folytech nical Pupils Is in Ordinary Ap parel, Elaborate Evenings Gowns Are Also on Bill. It isn't enough for girls to know how to make their own clothing. They should be able to make children's clothes and fit and sew for others. That is what the Polytechnic School girls are being led to believe and that is the idea upon which much of their training is based. Just now the girls are Jubilant over the completion of the second frocks that have been made by the second-semester girls this Fall. They have, finished their wash dresses and will now begin to make muslin or challie frocks. Then children's clothes will be next on the schedule. The dresses that have been finished by the second-semester girls range be tween 85 cents and $2 in cost. Many of the girls have lessened the cost of trimming by making their own orna ments, lace and embroidery. The cost of materials has gone up considerably, say the teachers, so that they have had to remove the dollar limit in the cost of wash dresses. The fourth-semester girls are and have been making fancy dresses, a class that includes evening gowns, aft ernoon frocks and various charmeuse and Georgette crepe dresses more In tricate and elaborate than the average. Many of the girls have been able to pay part of their living expenses by making clothes for others and taking orders. Some of the girls of the fourth class are now wearing the coats that they have made since school started this Fall. Silver and lace are used in many of the party frocks that the fourth-semester girls have made, and. brirht and smart is the display of millinery that waa shown during the past week. Hats for evening wear were in gold or silver lace or braid and trimmings of fur. In the remaining half of the first semester the girls of the second semes ter will devote a part of their time to making children's clothes. Those who have no little brothers or sisters, nor any small children at. home, will be allowed to make themselves house dresses or coverall aprons. They will also make either a challie or muslin dress for themselves and a wool skirt. Speaking of the girls' work yester day. Miss Lilian Tingle said: "Many of our girls are earning their own way, or partially making It. Just last week one of the big department stores em ployed ten of our girls, and several others have been placed with firms Ex-Pendleton Girl Stricken. PENDLETON. Or.. Nov. 25. (Spe cial.)

The Golden State Gives Aronson a Big Boost Verily, we're not only awakening Portland, but our fair fame is being bruited abroad throughout the land, from North to South. It was Ernest t)eeds that put this one over. No, that's not a motto it's a man Ernest Deeds. Do you get it? In the language of our old friend, Pat Prunty, he's the dead spit of King Alfonso, and if you don't believe it, come in and take a slant at him. And he's some salesman. Well, as I said, it was Ernest Deeds that did it. A gentleman from San Jose drifted into the store, and Ernie sold him jewelry for every member of the family diamond scarf pin, lavallieres, brace let watches, vanity case, umbrellas the sale ran away up into three figures. The man knew values he knew that every article he bought was under price. He had the cash and so he bought. And he saved a pretty penny when he entered Aronson s and he got just what he wanted. You can do it Here are some prices that turn diamond buying into a genuine investment: One $1200 diamond for $1000. The stone is the most perfect in cut, color and brilliancy that has ever been shown in Portland. $100 diamond cluster rings in new shapes for $68.50. $50 diamond cluster rings, some of them set in rubies, sapphires or opals, $36.75. The very latest designs in dome-shaped diamond cluster rings are selling at three-fourths regular prices. $400 cluster diamond rings, $297.50. $600 solitaire diamond rings, $434.50. $50 engagement rings, $36.75. $100 engagement rings, $68.50. $500 diamond-mounted platinum lavallieres, $364.50. $50 diamond-mounted bracelet, $36.50. Speaking of Ernest Deeds reminds me of watches, for during the same day he told me he had sold ten bracelet watches. That was in the middle of the day I don't know what his total was at night twenty, maybe. Well, anybody can stand behind the counter and hand out watches at prices like these : $10.00 Bracelet watches for $5.85. $17,50 Bracelet watches, 15-jewel, for $10.85. $30.00 Bracelet watches, 14k gold, for $21.25. $26.50 Rockford watches for $15.85. $33.00 Rockford watches for $19.75. $40.00 Howard watches for $29.50. $60.00 Howard watches for $49.50. $75.00 Howard watches for $59.50. You can buy any of Aronson's clocks, too, at about three-quarters their regular prices. If you want to keep up with the time, come in and annex one of them. While you're in, look at some of the white grold diamond-mounted jewelry. It's real rold, specially treated to resemble platinum. Some of that Eastern prosperity is getting into town. A lady, late ly arrived, saw in the Washington street window a $15 silver tray marked down to $9.95. She stepped in, bought it, and proffered a 5100 bill and seemed disappointed when the cashier handed her gold for the amount of her change. She wanted real Uncle Samuel money, so they had to dig up currency and hand to her. She turned around and slipped it into the "first national bank" and went out, satisfied. And Aronson wiped his glasses. Speaking of trays, reopens the silver question. None of that 16-to-1, W. J. Bryan stuff, but Aron son's sterling ware single stand ard. $57.50 Sterling after-dinner serv ice 21 pieces in handsome velvet case, $43.15. $10 Sterling butter dish, with cover, $7.50. $20 Sterling gravy bowl and stand $15. A few Sterling bonbon dishes that have sold up as high as $10 for $3.75. And here are some typical Aron son prices on silver plate: A $7.50 Sheffield meat platter for $4.85. A $5 Sheffield covered cheese and cracker dish for $3.30. A $15 Sheffield chop dish with cover something new now $10. Sheffield condiments that have sold up to $1.50 are now S5c. $6.50 Sheffield bread trays now $3.65. $5 Sheffield bread trays for $2.65. See these at Aronson's: A $5 mahogany nut bowl with cracker attached, $2.85. 75c and $1 combination glass and silver bud vases for 40c and 45c. Did you ever see Aronson's Cameos ? He has spent years in making a collection of cameos and rare stones. He showed me one not much bigger than a dime. It is worth $90. The hand that cut it has perhaps rested for centuries, but the beautiful stone is as clear in outline as it was the day it was finished. Ask Aronson to show you his cameos. He likes to do it. Among others there, are some solid gold brooches set with genuine cameos, priced $8.65 were $12.50. There's something refined and attractive about a piece of rich cut glass. It doesnt take much to own a few pieces here at Aronson's, for prices are cut in twain. Think of such ridiculously low prices as these: A $10 cut glass water set of 7 pieces for $4.75. A $32 cut glass punch bowl for $17.50. $2.75 handled nappies for $1.35. A $7.50 cut glass vase for $3.75. Select any piece of cut glass from Aronson's shelves and pay one-half the regular price. Our esteemed friend and con temporary, the man who guesses what the weather is going to be, has hit it at last. "Increased pre cipitation, followed by still more precipitation" or something like that. So here goes: Aronson's $2 umbrellas are now $1.35. Aronson's $3.50 umbrellas are now $2.65. $5 silk umbrellas are now $3.35. $6.00 silk umbrellas, all colors, $3.95. $7.50 silk umbrellas, sterling handles $4.85. And don't forget that Thursday is Thanksgiving. We'll all rest then and we'll let you rest. And we hope that every little tear-stained face every little window-wisher will be able to eat until he breaks a button. We're going to.

How to tell. New York. K. Y. In a recent discourse Dr. E. Sauer. a Specialist, who has studied widely both In this country and Europe said: If you were to make an actual blood test on all people who are 111 you would probably be greatly astonished at the exceedingly large number who lack iron and who are 111 for no other reason than the lack of Iron. Trie moment iron is supplied all their multitude of dangerous symptoms disappear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food Into living tissue and therefore nothing you eat does yon any good; you don't get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your system like corn through a mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can't grind. As a result of this continuous blood and nerve starvation people become generally weakened, nervous and all run down and frequently develop all sorts of conditions'. One Is too thin; another Is burdened with unhealthy fat ; some are so weak they can hardly walk: some think they have dyspepsia, kidney or liver trouble; some can't sleep at night, others are sleepy and tired all day; some fussy and Irritable; some skinny and. bloodless, but all lack physical power and endurance. In such cases, it Is worse than foolishness to take stimulating medicine, or narcotic drugs, which only whip UP your fagging vital powers for the moment, rvayhe ut the expense of your life later on. !.o matter what anyone UUa you. If you are mako th following tet. te how long you can work or bow far you can walk without becoming tired. ext take two rive-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then rst your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozen of nervous run down people who were ailing all the time double, and even triple their strength and endurance and entire ly get rid of their symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles In from ten to fourteen day time simply by taking iron In the proper form, and this, after they had In some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. You can talk as you please about all the wonders wrought by new remedies, but when you come down to hard facts there is nothing like good old iron to put color in your cheeks and good sound, healthy flesh on your bones. It- is a I no a great nerve and stomach atrengthener and the best blood builder In the world. The only trouble was that the old forms of in organic iron like tincture of Iron, iron ace tate, etc., often ruined people's teeth, upset their stomachs and were not assimilated and for these reasons they frequently did more harm than good. But with the discovery of the newer forms of organic iron all this ha ben overcome. Nuxated Iron for example, is pleasant to take, does not injure the teeth and Is almost immediately beneficial. NOTE The manufacturers of Nuxated Iron have such unbounded confidence In its potencv that they authorize the announce ment that they will forfeit $100.00 to any Charitable Institution if they cannot take any man or woman under sixty who lacks iron and increase their strenKth 2O0 per cent or over In four weeks' time, provided, they have no serious organic trouble. Also they will refund your money in any case in which Nuxated Iron does not at least double your strength in tn days' time.
