INSURANCE FEATURE Endowment Policies to Be Given Veterans-Cost to Be About Two Billion Dollars. Washington, D. C. The proposed bonus to soldiers of the world war would cost a trifle more than $2,000, 000,000 spread over 20 years, accord ing to the majority report of the house ways and means committee on the pending adjusted compensation bill, which was made public Sunday night. The average ex-service man, under the terms of the bill would receive adjusted compensation amounting to $382 in the form of a 20-year endow ment insurance policy for $962. The amount of the policy would vary ac cording to the age of the soldier and tho length of his service. After two years loans would be obtainable for 90 per cent of the value of tho policy at the time, the loans on a $1000 policy, for example, ranging from $87.93 in the third year to $900 in the 20th year. The bill, says the report, provides for: 1. The fixing of the amount of the adjusted service credit to the sur viving veterans. 2. The payment in cash of the ad justed service credit to those veterans to whom $60 or less is due. 3. Provision for payment of the adjusted service credit to depend ents of veterans who have died be fore application has been made. 4. The issuance of an endowment insurance ceretificate to the remain der of the surviving veterans applying therefor in amount and on the terms hereinafter set forth. 5.

Security for such loans and pre vention of their being "frozen assets," in the hands of banks by whom they aro made. 7. The creation of a sinking fund sufficient to meet the claims arising upon the certificates by reason of death of the veteran or maturity thereof. 8. Estimates for proper approprla tions to meet the claims of depend ants and i hose who are paid in in surance. The basis of the adjusted service credit to the soldier is the same as in the bill, which at the last session passed both houses, namely $1 a day for each day of "home service" and $1.25 a day for "oversea service" not to exceed, however, in any case $500 for "homo service" or $625 for "over sea Bervlce." Tho veteran will receive the equiv alent of a puid-up 20-year endowment policy for the amount which his ad justed service creit plus 25 per cent would purchase at his age, of such in surance computed in accordance with accepted actuarial principles and bas ed upon American experience tables of mortality with Interest at 4 per cent per annum compounded annually.

WALKER THE SPENDTHRIFTS f ETERNAL MASTERS TO CHOOSE the right color for a sunset sky, or the exact tone for a storming sea, flinging its foam against rhe dripping rocks, is one of the many perplexities of the earnest painter. Living colors cannot be put on can vas ut one stroke. The tints, shades, lights and sha dows composing them must be "cod dled" and worked In until they meet and blend In natural harmony, and make a perfect whole, otherwise they lack sincerity and fall short of truth. To arouse admiration and hold It, the gold and purple of the west must Hash, glint and shine; the grays, greens, whites and umbers of the ocean and cliffs must sing their diapason notes in tune with Neptune's roaring voice. To paint the truth, the artist must paint truthfully. He must at every stroke of his brush hold to sincerity. A mere "daub" will not suffice for the true painter. The picture over which he works and ponders must be n living, breathing offspring of Na ture. It must be nn aesthetic creation of exquisite benuty, showing In Its at mosphere perspective and breadth, holdness nnd delicacy of treatment. An artist may spend a life time In producing his masterpiece, just as a musician may consume years In Com posing an oratorio of stirring move ments and entrancing changes of suf ficient endurance to go singing and dancing down the ages down to mil lions of music lovers yet unhorn. If we people of lesser gifts would give our homely endeavors such devo tion as the genius bestows upon his we, too, would soon find ourselves ris ing to fume and honor and riding proudly on golden streams. The young man In the field, at the forge or beside the desk, with his fu ture before him, lias within him the power to shape his own destiny. It Is for him to decide whether he shall be a muster builder or a tinker. If he holds to truth, loyalty fears not to soil his hands In manual labor Is putient, Industrious and accepts advice In the spirit In which It Is Klvpn, no opposing force can hold him hack In the race.
