“BASEBALL IN HEAVEN”
WAS PASTOR’S NEW TEXT
Matapolsett, Mass., August 10.—
"Baseball in Heaven,” was the sub
ject of a sermon preached today by
the Rev. C. Julian Tuthill, pastor of
the Congregational church here. He
said In part:
"Heaven Is but an evolution of this
world. A Christian may love a ball
game and remain a Chrlstiin. Why
then Is It not safe to prophesy that
even tbe game of baseball will have
its place in some spiritual form, In
heaven?”
Girl and Job.
New York, Aug. 8.—There was both
j-y and sadness in the home of Mrs.
Bertha Weinberg of No. 71 A Maujer
street. Brooklyn, yesterday when word
came from Washington that Ethan Al
len Weinberg, nineteen years old, had
been appointed United States consular
agent at Port De Aubreas, near Mor
occo. The Joy was due to the knowl
edge that Ethan Allen, still In bis
teens, would receive $1,800 a year. In
addition to fees. The sadness came
when his mother learned he would
■marry hurriedly na the result of the
appointment.
Last night young Weinberg was in a
quandary. His papers must foe signed
foy Oct. 1, and' as he Is a minor, the
law requires that he must have tbe
consent of his parents. His father is
willing, but his mother dislikes the
Idea of her son going to a foreign land
for four years. Thenjjhe learned of a
rule of Unole Sam that caused deep
misgiving. Ethan Allen is in love wltn
Miss Minerva Schectiter of Brooklyn.
The consular service rules permit a
man to take his wife with) him, but
where a single man enters the service
he must remain so until the end of his
term. On hearing the news about the
namesake of Tlconderoga's hiero,
friends of Miss Schecter whispered,
"Well, why can’t they get married be
fore he starts?” From a question the
phrase changed into a statement of the
couple’s Intention.
"Ethan’s going to get married right
away,” was the rumor that reached
his mother. He called on Minerva last
night and it Is said an engagement
was made. In the Weinberg home the
mother sighed and sighed. She felt
that the pair was planning tor a wed
ding very soon.
Ethan is the oldest of the six chil
dren. In 1907 he entered the College
of Political Tactics at Charleston, N.
C., and was graduated In 1908. In
November of the same year Francis
Cushman employed young Weinberg
as his page In the House of Represen
tatives.
CHORUS GIRLS KICK
ON WEARING TIGHIS
Supply of ‘Girls But They
Are Unruly.
The politicians are seeing things.
New York, Anig. 9.—When Jacob
Shubert was bewailing the dearth of
good-looking chorus girls recently, as
reported In The World, five young girls
who had come from Boston to go ou
the stage were half starving In
single furnished room at No. 370 East
One Hundred and Forty-second sereet
because though they had passed sat
isfactory tests as to thtelr voices they
refused to wear tights.
The story came out last night when
Louise Hearst of Jamacis Plain, Mass.,
went to the Alexander avenue police
station and told Acting Lieut. England
that she and her four friends wanted
to go home and that one of them was
suffering from hysteria as a result of
her experiences. The other girls are
Alice Monahan and Alice Robinson of
Roxbury. Gertrude Flanagan of Dorch-
ester and Belle Berkley of Wlnthrop.
They were choir singers In Boston, and
when they saw an advertisement for
chorus girls to take 'part In "Girls In
Happylend” they promptly answered.
When a representative of Hurtlg ii
Seamen came to Boston, tried their
voices and said “You’ll do,’’ the girls
thought they were In Happyland In
deed.
East Sunday they reported at the
Metropolis Theatre In East One Hun
dred and Forty-second street There
was another trial of voices there and
the girls came off with honors. They
started to seek hhtels. but were stop
ped .by the voice of the stage manager.
"Report early to-morrow, girls,” he
'said, “to foe measured for tights.”
The girls fled In horror. They bad
expected to make their metropolitan
debut dressed In Empire gowns of
Paris make. Tights? Never! They
decided to economize and look for
other work, but did not succeed and
-their courage gave out. Although they
gave their ages from eighteen - to
twenty, none of them looks more than
sixteen.
Miss Monahan was so much over
come by the shock of the tights sug
gestion that she had to be taken last
night to the Lincoln Hospital, where
she Is being treated for hysteria.

RECORD
The Southern
States Life
Has Never
Contested
a Death Claim
REASON
The usual promptness with which all claims are settled by
The Southern States Life Insurance Company, is due first to its
willingness and desire to assist the beneficiary, and second, the
fatt that it is a home institution, located in the immediate vicinity
of the iusured; is easy of access, has facilities for securing infor
mation promptly; advantages which by the very fact of their lo
cation, are denied to companies whose home offices are in dis
tant cities.
The above tells the story. Prompt payment ot death claims proves the Insurance Company's integrity. The Southern States life, by reason of the fact that its home office is
located in the heart of the South, paid the policy immediately. There are no long and tedious waits in the payment of policies in The Southern States Life Insurance Co. Its
record is perfect. “You could not possibly have acted with greater promptness, as your settlement was mailed on the same'day the claim papers reached you.
pecially gratifying to me in view of the fact that Mr. Smith’s policy was only taken out June 6th, his death having occurred July 15th.”
