Looking Out On the World

By Hugh Cnambers I do believe in success stories. And to jarove it, I shall cite our present Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull—the gentleman from Tennessee and ranking member of Roosevelt’s cabinet. This past week-end I was in Mr. Hull’s old home town, Carthage, Tenn. I talked with a gentleman there who knew Mr. Hull as a 'young attorney. He told me how, after practicing for several years, he had become judge for a couple of terms — and I could visualize Judge Hull sitting on the bench and looking just as he must have looked these many years ago. At that time Judge Hull’s home sat on the very spot where rests today the north-end of the fine, new bridge that spans the Cumberland river—one of the South’s beauty streams and which played such an important part in the Civil war. I could also visualize Judge Hull sitting on his porch looknig across this same Cumberland river and on up the mountainside drinking in its loveliness—and dreaming. Dreaming of a richer, fuller future; when most men would have . thought themselves complete. To have risen from country-boy to judge-ship is no mean accomplishment. For most men this would have been enough. But not for Cordell Hull. We shall never know perhaps if the kindly judge ever dreamed of such a high station as that which he now holds, but it’s not improbable. Great men have great ideas. To be big one must think bigj Fate rarely—if ever—creates greatness herself. So Judge Hull must have had visions of noble greatness for it was but a short time after that, that he was elected to the state legislature at the Tennessee Capitol in Nashville. Mr. Hull’s years in the legislature were so productive and in themselves spoke so well of the man’s integrity and ability that he went from there to the United States Senate in Washington. The pin-

nacle seemed just about as high as ordinary man could go — but Senator Hull, ex-congressman, ex-judge, ex-lawyer, .ex-farmer boy, was not ordinary. Mr. Roosevelt sensed it and chose him as his Secretary of State and his record in that exalted office, where by its very delicacies and intricacies of national affairs, only the best are permitted to rule, has been above reproach. Yes, the soft-spoken, Southern gentleman from Sunny Tennessee, in whose hands are entrusted the reins of the nation’s relations wfith foreign governments, has come a long way up the ladder of life. And he as much as anyone else could paraphrase that part of the song: “—and every rung goes higher and higher.” Gordell Hull is as much of the Old South as the rocks, the streams and the mountains. And he has, by his graciousness, always aided and encouraged by an equally gracious wife, made the honest hospitality of the Southland a little more of a national attribute than before—so much so that he and Mrs. Hull were sent to the border to officially welcome and escort their Royal Majesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain on their recent visit to the United States. Kings and queens, as a rule, are bom to greatness. But men like Cordell Hull create their own greatness. And what a sensation that must be.

The development of industries

in the large cities of the country has attactred hundreds of young men from the small towns and from the rural sections. They entered the urban life for larger opportunities to earn money, either to continue their education or to get started in life. If there were hotels their meagre wages would not enable these young people to take advantage of them. Rooming houses constituted a hazard, and thus it remained for public-spirited citizens to come to the rescue, which they did by the organization of Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. units, which provided housing at reasonable cost and under helpful supervision, wholesome reading, innocent recreation, and a general environment in which

character would be safe. Great impetus was given die

building of Y. M. C. A’s. for Negroes by the well-known philanthropist, Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, who recently passed to his reward. He offered $25,000 available to any city raising $75000 for a Negro Y.M.C.A. Many cities took advantage of this generous offer. Modern Y.M.C. A. buildings are found in Philadelphia, Penn.; New York City Chicago, ml Indianapolis, Ind Atlanta, Ga.; Buffalo, N. York Dayton, Ohio; and New Orleans,

La. Man;y other cities

colored branches

have

operated in

building accommodated for the purpose, and therefore not up to the standard in space ahd equipment. However, great good is being accomplished , for the social betterment of young men. The Y.W.C.A. work i s not so well advanced as to buildings and equipment, but in many of the cities the programs for girls are very good and the work is in splendid hands. The girls derive similar benefits from their organizations as do the young men. These organizations are sponsored by the National Committee of the Y.M.C.A. with headquarters in New York City, with contributions from local Community Chest s and individuals, in addition to the membership dues. In the building campaigns liberal contributions have been made by Negroes themselves toward Y.M.CA.. work. The names of W. A. Hunton and Canning H. Tobias will ever be remembered ip connection with Y.M.C.A. work. The first colored Y. M. C. A. was organized in Washington, D. C„ in 1853; the second was organized in Charleston, S. Car., 1866; the third was in New York Cit y in 1867. The first student organization was formed at Howard University, 1869. W. A. Hunton, in 1888. became the first General Secretary of the Colored Work.

SHOWS GREATER AMOUNT ASSETS TO LIABILITIES THAN OTHER LEADING

COMPANIES

■j.ne Siarmard lUiaiyucai Service of Samt i^ouis, wnicn bases ns nndings nom me miancial statements of insurance companies filed with, State Insurance Departments, has just released a report showing the amount of assets to each One Hucinred Dollars liabilities for a number of the larger companies. This report shows The Mammoth Life &, Accident Insurance Company nus $28.03 assets foe each $100.00 of liabilities. The report further shows that the general average of 50 leading companies in America is $105.29 to each $100.00 liabilities. In view of the fact, that The Metropolitan Life only shows $106.77 for each $100.00, and the Western and Southern only $116.11, Mammoth Life’s showing of, $284.03 for each $100.00 is all the more

remarkable.

■ Wm |H| ■ strength of a company is not

necessarily judged by its size o

volume of business m force but

primarily by its ability to tak

care of its obligations. Thus, when it is pointed out that for every $100.00 of liabalities, for

obligations of th* Mammoth actually has on hand in

$284.03, this is evidence of the strength and security of the Mammoth Life. _ . .

Upon questioning an official

as to how he accounted for this, he said the company gave credit for whatever progress was made along this line to the hearty cooperation on the part of its policyholders, stockholders, directors, agents and entire staff, and careful and efficient management, with wise investments in choice and sound securities. He further pointed out that over a period of 24 years the Mammoth has invested in nothing but gilt edge securities, such as U. S. ties and state municipal bonds of Government bonds, public utilithe highest type, and, federalized association stock, all of which is insured by an instrumentality

of the Federal Government. Thi s accounts for the ability

of The Mammoth to have passed through the recent depression without having borrowed any money, or having sold any of 1 its securities, yet at t the same

it

assets

its claims and other obligations on time, and gradually increasing both its field and clerical forces year after year. This company enters its 25th Anniversary Year wife every indication of . continued growth

and prosperity.

The financial ability of a Life Insurance Company to meet its obligations promptly is of first importance to its patrons, and the best test of strength of any company is the amount of As- * e ? :s , has in proportion to its Liabilities. The following figures are based on sworn statements of fee companies named as they appear in Life Insurance Statistical Publications These statements are reliable,’ and confonn with statements filed in the Insurance Departments of fee

various States:

Assets for each $100 of Liabilities derived from annual statements as of December 31,

1938.

$106.98 - 105.50 - 103.86 - 103.61 - 109.65 i 104.42 • 106.77 - 104.52 U 103.67 - 104.15 - 106.99 - 104.56 - 104.58 - 105.47 - 103.25 - 106.09 - 103.49
