Striking Picture of Work on the Panama Canal—Building Locks at Gatun Dam
Why the Insurance
Concerns Dislike
Women as Risks
A vVELL known Atlanta woman
wrote a letter to the Sunday
American and complained that
she had found It next to .impossible
to have her life insured.
There are a whole lot of life in
surance companies over the country
who are skittish about writing poli
cies on women’s lives and there are
a number right here in Atlanta.
It doesn’t make any difference if a
woman goes down to their places of
business and talks herself tired try
ing to persuade them that she is a
perfectly healthy subject and in need
of insurance, the presidents of the
companies kindly but firmly inform
her that they will not pay her a cent
to die.
’ it isn't because a woman drinks or
carouses or does any of the million
and twenty-five other things that a
man does to shorten his days, and it
isn’t because she doesn’t live as long
as a man, because, as general thing,
after she passes the 50 year mark,
she lives longer.
Why They’re Not Wanted.
The principal reason in the case of
single women is because they are
likely to marry and won’t need it,
and in the case of married women
because their husbands may specu
late on making money out of their
demise.
“We don't want to give men any
excuse for killing their wives,” said
an insurance man of one of the blg|
Atlanta concerns laughingly, “They]
have enough excuse already.” j
“Seriously speaking, though," he!
added, “there have been many cases’
of that kind, and we have to take
that into consideration. Not that a
man might deliberately shoot or
poison his wife. But say she were
sick or an invalid, and needed spec
ialists or a trip to the mountains. If
she had a big policy on her life and
he needed the money he might be
tempted to neglect her.”
Officials Give Reasons.
Here are other reasons, gleaned
from several Atlanta fields, why it’s
as impossible as the camel’s effort
to get through a needle for a woman
to get life insurance:
One firm doesn't consider
that the class of working women
or widows with children or oth
ers dependent on them is large
> enough to be worth going after.
2, |t's too great a risk to in
sure women during the mother
hood period—from 21 to 50.
3,_|n the case of married wom
en with husbands paying their
policies there may be a hidden
reason of speculation behind it—
and under such circumstances
it’s hard to get at family history
about useless wit hout worn-
en’s husbands aro physically or
mentally disabled.
5.—Phys«c'ans cannot examine
women as they can men.
Need a Man Most.
"Most women don’t need life Insur
ance,’’ remarked one mere husband,
straightening shoulders up and look
ing satisfied with himself. “They
need a MAN.”
"But suppose they can’t get one?”
inquired the mere girl reporter who
was open to suggestions.
He glanced around the room to
make sure his wife had not acciden
tally dropped in.
She had not, and he became pom
pous. "Let ’em work overtime at it,"
he advised, his fingers seeking the
armholes of his vest,” that’s the way
Mrs. Blank got ME.”
The outside^ door-knob turned.
‘Why, as I was remarking," he de
clared, "the reason we don’t give
women life insurance Is because we
think the men cf the household
should carry the domestic burden."
But it happened to be only the of
fice boy. .
"Funny thing, the difference be
tween men and women." he daclared
a little later, "You’d think that if we
considered it a temptation to a man
to have a big policy on his wife’s
life, we’d think 't a temptation to a
woman to have one on her husband’s.
But we aon’t as a matter of fact, and
except, of course, as in a very few
rare instances, L isn’t.”
He picked up a pamphlet to show
the reporter statistics on the ques
tion.
Income Versus Sentiment.
"I suppose the reason for it is be
cause, in the first place, a woman just
naturally thinks more of love than
a man does. Then again if she
thinks about it at all, she’s bound
to figure out her husband is worth
more to her alive than dead because
he’s a constant source of income. On
the other hand, if a woman dies, a
man doesn’t suffer any loss but a
sentimental one which, of course,”—
he smiled—he can shortly remedy."
Another insurance man said that a
thing he objected to in writing insur
ance for women was that he found
it embarrassing to ask them if they
were married, and if they weren’t
why weren’t they.
While there are some Atlanta com
panies who write insurance for wom
en on the same basis they do for
men. it was found that a number of
them charge either higher rates or
limit the amount of women’s poli
cies. The reasons given for the high
er rates were practically those held
by the companies that do not write
women’s policies at all.
"As for limiting the amounts," said
one man, "wo do it because w r e’re
afraid of speculation somewhere
along the line. Our particular limit
for women is $10,000, but of course
sometimes we make exceptions in
certain eases. For Instance, if the
woman asking the policy were some
body lik^* Hetty Green, or the owner
of some big concern where her death
would mean a less to the business,
we wouid give her the privilege of
taking out the same amounts as
a man."
Disasters Record the
Gallantry of
Women
The floods and fires and tornadoes
that recently rent the Middle West
tried the souls of women, tried and
found them gallant. A word never
before applied to women passed into
current use. It was gallantry.
Gallantry, which heretofore we as
sociated with men, Is heroism. It 4 s
a high and splendid courage shown
In word and deed. It is bravery and
generosity, a complete forgetfulness
of self In an exceedingly thought
fulness for others. Unless you shift
the accent mark from second to first
syllable, you will have a very differ
ent impression of the word. Fine, with
the accent on the first syllable, it Is
tawdry when the stress is laid upon
the second. So throw the force of
utterance where it conveys valor and
forget the mincing gait, the handker
chief picking up, the eye-rolling and
head wagging meaning of the word
of the same spelling but world dis
tant meaning, and crown women witn
the laurels of it.
Two telephone operators sat at
their switchboards, facing death, but
defying it while they warned the
town of its danger. The dispatchers
forgot the names of those girls but
their names should ring through the
world. Paul Revere’s has rung for'
two hundred years. They are braver
than the Revolutionary rider, for at
most he only nearly killed his horse.
There was no hazard of death in that
wild ride for himself. He had the
thrill and stimulus of action. The
wind from the sea cooled his cheek.
The tonic of the salt air was In nis
nostrils. The horse pounded ahead
in unison with his own. The calm
stars looked down upon him and
guided his course.
These two young girls sat In a
stilling little town that was grow
ing every moment closer and more
stifling. The blood pounded in the
pulses of their temples. Their faces
were white. They went on pulling
out and pushing in plugs, calling
again and again, endlessly, it seemed
to them, the news of the flood, the
disaster that overshadowed the city, ,
that hung heavy above themselves.
Frightened? Of course they were.
Don’t believe anyone who tells you
that when floods or fire or any other
peril that threatens life besets him
he is not frightened. To say so is
to confess himself a dunce. The quick
working mind grasps a danger, fore
sees all its developments, fathoms its
fearful possibilities. Such a mind
knows. Yet knowing these girls staid
in the little room, saving other lives,
forgetful of their own. Gallant girls.
Braver were they than Paul Revere,
because they were in danger and
knew it. Braver than he because they
had not the relief of action. There
was no rushing through cool air, no
inspiration of the galloping steed for
them. They sat and waited, perhaps
for death, but while they waited they
went on with their work of saving.
Those girls whose names were for
gotten in the dispatches should have
a monument erected on the site of
that telephone exchange, and it
should be erected while they still live.
On the base of its pedestal there
should be inscribed: "Erected to com
memorate the gallantry of women.”
Out of th£ dimming memories of the
Johnstown flood stands forth the
vivid figure of a girl who died at het
post overtaken by the flood because
she lingered too long in her deed of
warning. Forgetfulness of self in ex
ceeding thoughtfulness of others, t I
hope there is a monument to that girl,
slim and graceful, like herself, and
like her of granite strength. Sweet be
the sleep of the brave.
They and others like them, have
added a new word to the vocabulary
of womanhood, the splendidly earned
i word, gallantry.
Atlanta’s Shopgirl!
She’s a Near Angel-
Of Good Breeding
ATLANTAN, IN LETTER, TELLS
OF WORK IN THE BIG DITCH
G eorge II. Shepard, who is helping in the great undertaking, writes
of the progress being made by the engineers.
There are some women in Atlanta
who come so near being angels you
can all but heaj the fluttering of
their wings.
The reason is that they possess all
the attributes generally ascribed to
angels.
In patience, they have the monu
ment variety beaten to a standstill.
In long suffering, they could join
a Job society as a life-member.
And when It comes to soft an
swers turning away wrath, this is
(he way they vanish the wrathful:
Look him calmly in the eye.
Straighten up imperceptibly..
Draw a deep breath.
Smile.
AND GO RIGHT ON BEING NICE
AND PLEASANT TO HIM.
Now those are some angels.
They are the women and fjirls In
our department stores, and in addi
tion to qualifying at the angel bus-
ness, they are perhaps the best
bred, all-round bunch of women
you’d find in a far distance.
The reason is that Atlanta shop
girls are not the common or garden
variety of shop girls at all. They do
not chew gum They are not over-
inquisitive. Mighty few of them
are silly.
Standard Higher Here.
, At least that's what heads of the
big stores here say. and they assert
that is what makes Atlanta shops
different from most others over the
country. They are more like fam
ily establishments than anything
else. Their slogan from the begin
ning has been “Pull together.” The
care taken in choosing employees
and the regard for the education and
brains they possessed has raised the
standard of Atlanta clerks far and
away above the average. Customers
remark it continually.
As for the saleswomen develop
ing into angels, it wasn’t anybody's
fault but their own—they had ten
dencies that way and just naturally
dropped into the habit.
In at the J. M. High Company’s
store, W. H. Brittain, president of
the Arm, said he would back Atlanta
saleswomen against any anywhere
over the country.
“They are Just naturally business
girls,” he declared, “and they have
the Atlanta spirit down to the
ground. There isn’t anything too
hard for them to do to make a suc
cess of and they are among our
greatest bosters.”
He said they knew how to meet
people and make friends, and they
had excellent good taste and judg
ment.
“Some people may think it’s an
easy job to he a clerk,” he mused as
he gazed arqund over the big crowd
of girls busily showing merchandise
to early morning shoppers, ’ but it's
one of the hardest things in the
world to be a good one. A girl must
be resourceful and quick to catch
the idea of a shopper. She must be
informed on what the latest styles
are so that she can give suggestions,
and be able to plan out the color
tones of an entire costume if nec
essary. She must know when to lie
quiet and when to talk. And she
must keep sweet, no matter what
happens, and no matter how it hurts,
if she wins out in the long run.”
Golden Rule In Vogue.
Mr. Brittain said the firm’s advice
to girls just going to work was sim
ply to treat customers as they them
selves like to be treated when they
go into a store to buy. In other
words, the golden rule doctrine, and
the girls found out it worked well.
They were all very contented to
gether. They practically spent their
walking hours together, and they
played at entertaining the public as
their guests.
When the reporter went Into Da-
vison-Paxon-Stokes establishment to
ask Mr. Davison about his girls, she
found him up in his office behind a
big desk.
“To show you how we regard our
employees,” he said, “It may inter
est you to know we haven’t got a
person at the head of any of our de
partments who has been with us less
than 12 years. We try to treat our
people as if they belonged to us, and
we’d a!’, practically fight for one an
other. The personal touch enters
very much Into the conduct of our
store fromathe, customer down to the
very humblest of our employees. And
we give employees a chance to rise.”
He was enthusiastic over the
firm’s new store, and said the em
ployees were just as pleased as he
was at getting Into new quarters.
"They feel they have an interest in
it, too,” he declared, “as they really
have.”
At the Keely store, R. E. O’Don
nelly, one of the firm said the proof
of the ability of his saleswomen was
the fact that they were able to meet
the public trade and satisfy it.
“Not only in our store, but all over
the city, the salespeople are high
grdae,” he told the reporter.
Calls Girls “the Finest.”
D. and M. Rich said the girls in
their store belong to “the finest.”
“We think our saleswomen are
just as pleasing as any town can
show.” H. York and I. J. Cassett
declared/ "In the first place we get
the best as we know they are before
we employ them. Then after they
come in, the heads of our depart
ments take them under their wing,
as it were. We like to see them go
ahead.”
Some of their best girls, they said,
had begun at the wrapping counter
and worked their way into substan
tia] salaries and good positions.
"We teach them to treat custom
ers just as if they were callers, and
to learn how to suggest things to
buyers that will make shopping easy
for them.”
They said, along with other firms,
that they found the Atlanta public
particularly easy to please, and con
siderate about waiting until clerks
found what they wanted.
Optimism Over Big Store.
“I'm not going to tell you any
thing at all about oiir girls,” said H.
S. Johnson, of Chamberlin-Johnson-
DuBose. “I’m simply going to give
you the names of some of them and
let you go around and see for your-
An Interesting letter regarding the
work on the Panama Canal has Just
been received from a young Atlanta
engineer, Mr. George H. Shepard, who
Is connected with • the MeClintlck-
Marshal! Construction Company in
the building of important rtiasonry
on the big dttch.
The letter from Mr. Shepard was
received by his sister, Mrs. Wylie
Jones, of Decatur, and Mr. Shepard
enclosed a number of striking photo
graphs o' the canal work, one of
which is reproduced here. This pho
tograph is of one of the locks of the
Gatun Dam, and represents one of
the most important units of the canal.
The picture of the locks reproduced
above was taken from tie light-house
on the extreme end of tne center wail
and next to Gatun Lake. The picture
was taken by a photographer in Colon
and is the best ever taken of any
of the canal work., In the center fore
ground is shown the two emerging
dams. These machines swing on a
pivot at the center, and when in use
are at right angles to the locks. There
are several folding leaves in this ma
chine that are lowered by electrical
machinery into the locks and stop the
water of Gatun Lake. They are in
tended for emergency use only, in
ase the guard gates—which are the
first set of gates on each side—are
carried away. These machines were
designed by a man on the isthmus
and are the only ones of their kind
in the world. There will be six of
these: two at Gatun, two at Pedro
Miguel and two at Mira Flores.
Wall Is 90 Feet Wide.
In the center is shown the center
wall of the locks. This wall from the
north to the south end Is about a mile
and a quarter long, 76 feet high and
about 90 feet wide. There are three
tracks on this wall, the two on the
edge being the towing tracks and the
one in the center the return track.
The towing locomotives are run on
these tracks and the power is taken
from a third rail. The two outside
tracks are provided with a rack and
the locomotives have a pinion which
fits into the rack, thus getting a great
deal more power. There is also one
towdng track and one return track on
each the east and the west wall.
The water shown in the locks Is
that of Gatun Lake. In this pic
ture It 1s about fifteen feet deep. The
final stage will be about seventy-two
feet In the locks There are no more
gates this side of those shown.
The first gates shown—the ones
closer—are called guard gates. They
are 48 feet high and are not used
when the lock-' are in operation ex
cept in eases' of emergency. AH the
other twenty gates here are from 72
to 74 feet hight. A gate is composed
of two leaves; each leaf being 70 feet
wide and 62 feet long. As the locks
are only 102 feet wide, it will be no
ticed that the two leaves are ten feet
longer than the width of the locks.
This extra ten feet of width is caused
by the gates being what Is termed
mitre gates.
When not closed these leaves swing
back into a recess in the lock walit
and are perfectly flush with the walla
Each leaf of a gate swings in perfect
unison with the other and with th«
ease which one would use in opening
or shutting a gate in a fence.
This picture only shows the uppei
level. In this level there are ten
gates, five on each side. In the mid
dle level, there are only four gates,
and in the lower level there are six
Two of those in the lower level being
guard gat^s to hold back the sea
water. On the right of the last wall
are the concrete light standards. They
are about 22 feet high and will hav«
two powerful lights on each standard,
These are spaced, about 6(1 feet apart
There will be one row of them on the
east wall, one row on the west wall
and two rows on the center wall, tha
entire length of the locks.
To give an Idea of the size ol
things, the light- house shown on tue
back-ground of the west wall is a
hundred and ten feet high. In tha
center back-ground can be seen the
canal at lea level with dredges work
ing in it. Just ^teyond the end ol
the east and west walls are seen dim
ly a number of towers. These ara
the cable-way towers. These cable
ways handle ail the concrete in tha
locks. The big building shown just
over the top of the emergency dam
is the Administration building for
the Atlantic division.
self. If you don’t come back saying
they’re sane, common-sense, level
headed, I’ll miss my guess.
And then he calieij Mrs. Margaret
Saunders, who by the.way is the only
woman floor walker in Atlanta’s de
partment stores and who knows how
to show the big store off down to the
ground, gave her the names and the
two made a tour of the building.
Everywhere Mr. Johnson’s words
came true. Hands were out on ev
ery corner, optimism shone over the
big store like sunshine on a dark
day. Giddy shop girls! If there
were any, they were all out It was
a revelation, each saleswoman, it
was found, had the job of keeping
close tab on what she sold, how
things went, and the heads of the
departments practically conducted
little businesses all their own. The
store looked to them to make ends
come out ahead, and it required
brains to do it. As in the other
stores, they go north twice a season
to do their stock purchasing.
"Mr. Johnson treats us just ns
though he was our father.” they all 1
declared. “And so do the other I
members of the firm. We don’t feel
like enfployees at all.”
At J. P. Allen's Mr. Allen said that I
another reason why Atlanta’s sales
girls are high class Is because they I
are paid better than in many cities.
“I think all Atlanta merchants
realize that girls cannot live on a S
mere pittance,” he assorted. “While •
the salaries are not fabulous, they
will feed and clothe a girl very nice ;
ly, and she has an opportunity for
better pay when she shows ability.
Our girls are mostly those who Jive
in Atlanta and whose families live ,
here. We don’t pick up girls who ■
happen to drop in. And we know
our girls are liked, because our cus- J
tomers teil us so.”

GIRLS WHO “NEVER MEAN TO MARRY”
good or evil, the girl of
I"* to-day has become vastly
more independent of mar
riage,” wrote Mrs. John Strange Win
ter. “Till recent years a girl had to
marry to secure a livelihood. Now she
has grown capable of earning her own
living, and she is under no necessity
to marry for food and a home. The
girl who really does not care to mar
ry—who imagines she has some voca
tion in life to which marriage wiil
be an obstacle—has liberty to go her
own way.”
And she does. There was a time
when the girl who didn’t get married
was popularly supposed never to have
the chance, but you will be remark
ably mistaken if you assume to-day
that the single lady could not have
married if she had cared for it.
"If women don't want husbands to
day,” I read in a ladies paper, "whose
fault is it? Is it because women re
volt against household duties or that
they have come to know better what
husbands really are? Women, read
the papers. They know that marriage
does not mean ‘happy ever after.’ ”
That's awful, isn’t it? But it’s mv
belief that husbands are as good as
they ever were—better In very many
ways—and that girls of to-day aro
far too sensible to judge husbands
by the awful examples the newspa
pers chronicle simply because they
are too exceptional. No, there’s some
other reason why, in the girls’ minds,
husbands have depreciated in value.
There was a cause irr one of the
papers the other day which perhaps
throws light on some of the reasons
that induce many women to look
askance at marriage.
A gentleman with a salary nf
$2,500 a year found himself in a dis
agreeable predicament through his
wife being "wound up.” She had
opened a little business in a town,
and had run it with some considera
ble success till things went wrong,
and the poor lady's efforts to -put
them right met with failure. So he r
creditors came down upon her, and
the business was wound up to the
tune of thirty cents on the dollar.
Then some of the creditors suggested
that her husband ought to do the
handsome thing and make up the de
ficiency. Wasn't the lady hi? wife?
The poor man pleaded that he had
really never drawn a penny from the
business—that he loathed it—that he
had done ^11 he could to persuade his
wife to give it up. But the good lady
declared that it was absolutely im
possible she should stop at home
"doing nothing.” She had no chil
dren to look after, and she found
housework so dull, after years of
work In the city, that she “could not
stand it.” The official receiver who
had the conduct of the winding-up
business declared she was a sample
of the woman of to-day "bitten with
a mania for business.’-’
The young lady who has been ac
customed to daily excursions into
town and the hurry and bustle of the
world no doubt looks upon existence
in a little suburban home as likely
to be abominably dull. That feeling
makes her shy of marriage.
Besides, what about the cooking
and things of that kind?
In a book upon home management
I was reading some time ago the au
thoress -stated that the work in a
home was to-day at least one-third
lighter than it was some twenty m
thirty years back. The wife, as far
as labor in The house went, has an
infinitely, better time of it than h r
I unfortunate sisters of preceding
years. Just look at what science has
done for her? Hundreds of ingen
ious brains have been working to de
vice means ofr making cooking, wash-
’ sewing, carpet brushing, floor
ins
scrubbing, and everything else more
easy. In an hour to-day the house
wife can do what once took a wife
two or three. Just think what sew
ing must have been before we had
the sewing machine!
A very large number of men,” she
remark?, “have found out how re
markably easy it is to mend for them
selves. I know bachelors who live
In Hats whose rooms arc* stocked with
evefy time and labor saver in house
hold work. Women do not appear to
be so well acquainted with them, and
it is to be fear # ed that a very large
number of young girls, having no ac
quaintance with household work, are
shy of marriage, preferring the work
in offices or other work places to
work they dread because they are ig
norant of it.”
Is that the reason why the busi
ness girl so often turns a cold eye
upon the unhappy gentleman who
» eks her as his wife?
If Mrls are going to give up things
when they marry, they will only do
if: for a husband that will compensate
them for the sacrifice. You fellows
must look ’about them and qualify
themselves .to be the husbands girls
want. A friend of mine was rejected
Jean Roberts
some time back by a lady, who after
wards confided to me that he was
really a dear, nice, kind creature, but
she could not stand the idea of spend
ing all her evenings in his company.
He has not two ideas in his head, and
the prospect oi passing me ioag ev
ening hours with him while he read
to her the reports of the day’s foot-
balf was simply too much for her.
What would a husband think a wife
who read a cookery book to him for a
couple of hours every evening. The
bachelor gir! trots here and there and
tastes a vastly large ajnount of pleas
ure in her spare hours than she used
to. Sometimes, no doubt, she becomes
a mere pleasure seeker. But even ]
those who do not want more amuse- \
ment than the girl did once upon a
time.
"The modern girl will do her fair 1
share of "mending something” but
it strikes one that ten or twenty
years of evenings of that kind is a
rather monotonous prospect. Girls
to-day want brighter evenings than
That. The young man who wants to
get "her” to say “yes” needs to be
more interesting than he was once
upon a time—or needs longer purse
to supply the deficiency.

“Kathleen Mavourneen”
Brings Childhood Back When
Played by Instinct
Real Experience with the Nero Instinctive Playing. No. 5.
** ¥ SAT at the Virtuolo Player Piano, a strange yearning in my heart.
I The few, poor, loving words of a letter had touched me—a letter
A from the old people in the old land.
"I put the roll of ‘Kathleen Mavourneen* into my Virtuolo, closed
the panel, closed my eyes. I didn’t want to see. 1 didn’t need to
see with the Virtuolo. I wanted to put my whole self into the music.
"I touched the time-lever as in a dream. 1 moved it back and
forth by instinct to make the time please my ear. 1 didn’t think about
hou) to do it. My heart told me. I pressed the wonderful Acsolo
buttons, softening or making tremulously strong, the pure, clear music.
"I pressed instinctively — just as I felt—and the music came.
"There rose before me the old land, the dip of softened emerald
hills, the lover waiting at a window, his heart trembling in his voice:
** 1 Kathleen Mavourneen, the gray dawn is breaking;
The horn of the hunter is heard on the hill *
"The music swelled, throbbing into intensity—just as I pressed—
just as 1 felt. I was back with the gay tender colleens—their eyes
pure as their hearts, in the wonderland of the lost years.
"Soft as a fantasy the music died. Kathleen and her lover faded.
I opened my eyes at UsL They were wet. i looked at my wife;
she was crying too.

as other people play them, but us I feel them. 1 can go home again.
