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.” This was es- The Southern States Life Insurance Co.
