If imitation Is the sincerest flattery the family at the White House Is stocked up with "soft sawder" enough to last a generation. Roosevcltlan mannerisms are the ragt?. Even a manifest defect is apotheosized. The world pretentious is a mob of monkeys. When Miss Alice last winter carried a fcolish little bamboo stick with a ferule on the end of it half the girls in town who asrlred to be considered smart carried foolish little bamboo sticks with ferules en the end of them. When Mrs. Roosevelt began to affect white toilettes for the evening to the almost absolute exclusion of the gayer hues, pink and b!ue and green and yellow went into popular eclipse, and black costumes to which the "First lady" personally particularly objected were cast into outer darkness, a cabinet lady even discarding a brandnew 7uG black lace gown, her piece de resistance for the season, in deference to the Roosevcltlan prejudice. The "Alice Roosevelt" young woman is the one who is working overtime these days. She is a distinct type, and thoroughly ubiquitous. "A correct representation, as the vaudeville artist pays, of Alice Roosevelt is bestowed upon us every day. She wears her hair low down on the nape of her neck, and she gazes at you with a certain hoydenlsh glance from under halfclosed lids. When she grasps your hand Fhe makes a sort of upward lunge of her whole body, giving your arm a hospitable yank. She speaks deep down in her throat In an exuberant 'staccato, and there isn't a thing she talks about that Isn't unualifledly "bully." If the fair daughter of the President doesn't copyright he- stunts she'll soon be a drug in the market. She is faithfully reproduced even by ths members of. the executive household, ov.e prominent young matron of that exclusive circle, facially not unlike the young lady of the White House, having consciously or unconsciously so accurately absorbed Miss Roosevelt's characteristics that the situation ls grotesque. The pose is patent to the most unobservant. Miss Roosevelt can see herrelf as others see her when she . regards the enthusiastic antics of this pretty little admirer. But the refined specialty that has taught on with the greatest gusto of all is the President's perennial de-lUhted" with a long hyphen between the first syllable and the other two. The ecstatic monosyllable, accompanied by a lavish dental display, is the onl7 truly polite salutation in Washington nowadays if one is a male person. You spurt .ut the. solitaire utterance with a cti tapi'Uijh force, projecting your whole body forward and grasping your victim's paw with confidential zest. But some time the Pre ident. who 1 only human after all. fctves hi overworked "de-lighted" a day off. "I an devilish glad to see you, old chap." he exclaimed the other da', exultantly, slappJng oi: the back an ancient friend who had lust bobbed up. But when the "old chap stood in line to be 'received" at a form.il function that same afternoon the heartiome "devilish glad" had given place to thA stereotyped "de-lighted," ladled out to hip as to the rest, and he felt chilled. Invetcrate theater-goers are the presidential fitmily. The "royal box" Is usually the most lenthuslastie " at the show, and when the nj ill' and cranks and topical songs turn (VHn himself there Is no 'lustier laughJur JiO tbi4 h.tr vir "Mil -,i

IL F. Kramer-has resigned as assistant special agent of the Indianapolis Fire Insurance Company. Mr. T. C. Day, of T. C. Day & Co., left this week for a trip to Europe. He Is accompanied by Mrs. Day and their daughter. The German Fire of Indiana has issued invitations to a banquet to be given April 15 In celebration of the company's semicentennial. W. J. "Warner and a number of his staff have resigned their positions with the Aetna Life Insurance Company to represent the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York. 4Companies writing tornado insurance report that the season has opened up in great shape with them. They have already had a large number of losses to pay and are feeling the effect of the storms as a stimulant to new business. John II. Nelson, formerly special agent of the Insurance Company of Illinois for Wisconsin, has been appointed state agent for the Indianapolis Fire Insurance Company for Wisconsin and Minnesota. He will have his headquarters ln Madison. The Louisville Association of Life Underwriters is reported as staying out of the National Association because of fear that they could not select delegates to the annual meeting of the national body amicably. It is a good sign when Kentucky gentlemen are willing to admit their weakness and to avoid temptation as far as possible. The reinsurance of the Model Life Insurance Company of this city, which took place this week, the Federal Life of Chicago taking over the business, did not come as a surprise to local insurance men. It has been understood for some time that the management of the company was open to a change, and various rumors as to its plans became current. The Model was a small company operating ou the assessment plan and having about J3.OUO.000 insurance in force. The Indiana Association of Life Underwriters held a meeting last Monday and discussed plans for the entertainment of the national association, which is to meet here next fall. President Trie1, of the Indiana association, reports that he finds Indianapolis has exceptionally satisfactory facilities for furnishing hotel accommodations and assemblage hall conveniences. He and Mr. Ritchie, Indiana's representative on the national executive committee, are preparing to go to Philadelphia soon to meet the executive committee. Again the question is being asked: Why is there no such thing as flood insurance? Every year there are heavy losses from high water and those who would protect themselves wonder why companies are not organized to furnish Indemnity for losses of this nature. A company was incorporated in Connecticut last year which, among other privileges, may write flood insurance. The incorporators probably do not intend to begin writing this class of business for some time to come, at least to any great extent, but they doubtless recognized that there was a need in this direction which would some day be met and they have prepared to take advantage of it when the time comes. There are many difficulties to be overcome by those who would become pioneers ln flood Insurance. It would probably be no difficult matter to place policies on property In such places as are subject to overflows almost certainly every few years, but a company which had to depend on a class of business that would be so regular in the loss habit would soon be forced out of existence. It would be literally and figuratively swamped. To succeed a flood insurance company would have to carry a large volume of business on which the loss hazard, while existing, would bu reasonably remote. To educate that class of risks to their need of such protection would be difficult. Take Indianapolis for example. Many property owners whose buildings and belongings have suffered large losses from high water during the past week, ten days apo would have ridiculed any one who mlsht have approached them to sell them

There Is scarcely a cjty in the land which is on a river or a small stream, and most cities are so s-itu-ated. but that is confronted with a flood hazard. The stream may be small and seemingly Insignificant, but. In case of a cloud-burst or an unprecedented rainfall, it quickly becomes a torrent. It may quickly return to its banks and harmk-ssness, but, ln the hour or more of its carousal. It may damage hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property. Almost every year proves this at the expense of some city or other. Last year Topeka and other cities in Kansas and Missouri suffered severely. The hazard exists almost as generally as the fire hazard and like the lire hazard can be met with the insurance idea. There is no reason why, some day, flood insurance may not be feasible and a recognized necessity. I 4 In the case of Insurance Commissioner Host, of Wisconsin, against the Equitable Life Assurance Society to compel that company to distribute its surplus among its policy holders the Circuit Court at Madison last week rendered a decision against the company. The case will now go to tho Supreme Court and, if sustained there, will result in a revolution in the methods of a number of large life insurance companies. The Equitable has a surplus of over JTO.'um.. 000. About 13.000,000 belongs to Wisconsin policy holders. The surpluses of all life companies aggregate about $300.fiOO,OüO. The contention of tho Wisconsin commissioner is that, according to the law of his State, a company must distribute its surplus accumulations at least as often as every five years or oftener. As to how this excess premium payment (which is known as surplus and, when returned to policy holders, as dividends) shall be paid is determined by the terms of the contract or policy. Many policies provide for pj dividends at all. These are known as nonpartlclpatlng policies and are largely sold because of their lower premium together with the certainty as to results. There can be no disappointment as to the outcome of such a policy in the way of estimated dividends, based on the company's past experience, which may not be repeated In the future. There are other policies which return each year to their holders the amounts which it is discovered are in excess of the actual needs of the company to meet Its obligations. There are other policies which make this distribution every five years. And finally there are those which make no distribution until the policy has run for the number of years for which it was written. In case of the death of the holder his heirs get only the face of the policy and not the dividend aceummulations as well. If he lapsen his policy he forfeits his dividends. Only those who retain their contracts until their maturity share in the dividends. Policies of this class have sold largely because it was held out to the purchasers that, if they held out to maturity they must receive large returns for, not only would they receive their proportion of the dividends, but a share In all the dividends of their fellow policyholders who dropped out by death or laie. The stake has looked tempting and many thousands have taken the chance. This has naturally built up large surpluses for thone companies writing such policies. There have been many sharp criticisms, however, of the plan and It now seems probable that these objections are likely to take form In Wisconsin, at least, ln Its further prohibition and a compulsory distribution of the vast pool.
