ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
The annual' meeting of the Atlanta

enthusiastic one, the official . reports

has been made during the year Just

Following the establishment of the

ond nnnuol exhibition, which consisted
of the works of over one hundred prom
inent American painters brought to
Atlanta from the Fast by Mr. James B.
Townsend, of New York._ In the spring
the association was particularly active.
Funds were raised with which to pur
chase a kiln for the pottery work which

ing Lent a series of charming talks

ing from the beginning of the early
Grecian period to American contempo
rary art.
With the close of Lent preparations
began for the presentation of the comic

Reference wae made to the. present
fthe local exhibition now on view In the
Alfrlend building.
The report of the treasurer. Mrs.
Ralph Van Landlngham, showed tho
excellent management of the financial
affairs of the asosclallon.
The year was begun with .19 In the
Ireasury, a fact which did not daunt

the annual exhibition. After the con
summation of these ’ enterprises the
treasury holds sufficient funds for the
support of the work during the sum
mer nnd autumn.

est Ih all matters pertaining to At

a splendid factor In the growth of the

TO THE PUBLIC
m OPEN LETTER
FOURTEEN of the thlrty-on* per.
sons killed In the wrsck of the Mystic
Shrlners' special train at Honda, Cal.,
on Saturday, May 11. were Insured
against accidents In the Aetna Life In.
surance Company, of Hartford, Conn.
This Involve* a loss of tUO.COO, which Is
the largest loss ever Incurred by a
company under accident pollclee In any
one disaster.
The total amount which the Aetna
LlfS had at risk on the lives of pas
sengers on this train was at least $184,-
000, but of those insured with the Com
pany other than the fourteen killed only
one Is reported severely Injured.
The amounts payable for deaths In
this wreck are all DOUBLE THE
AMOUNTS INSURED, and In FOUR
cases they are TRIPLE THE
AMOUNTS INSURED through the fact
that the BENEFICIARIE8 were killed
In the same disaster. This emphasises
most strongly the enlarged scope of
occliicni Insurance protection as fur
nished by the Aetna Life.
The fact that nearly ONE-HALF OF
ALL WHO WERE KILLED carried
their accident Insurance In tbe AETNA
LIFE la striking evidence of the con
fidence reposed In the Company by the
Insuring public, and that confidence Is
wisely so placed. It is only a LARGE
COMPANY LIKE THE AETNA LIFE
that can withstand such a calamity as
this. If all of the persons, killed and
Injured In this wreck had been Insured
In the Aetna Life, the resultant claims
would be paid Immediately on receipt
of proof of death and without In the
slightest degree Impairing the strength
of the Company. The Aetna Life fur
nishes absolute protection to those In
sured In It.
The above Is another evidence of the
prompt attention shown by the Aetna
Life, which Is so efficiently represented
In Atlanta by Mr. Charles C. Thorn, 401
Equitable building. Reader, b* prudent.
Insure now with him. •••
