THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OF THE U. S. 120 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, N. Y. Imtmrpormimd uodmr Urn Losses of thm Stmtm of Pimm Ymrk There are Equitable policies for all life insurance needs —policies to strengthen the business and credit of individuals, firms, and corporations; policies to pay inheritance taxes; to settle estates;to aid in the purchase of homes; to safeguard mortgages; to educate children; to support men and women in old age; to protect employees through group insurance. But the most important public service rendered by the Equitable is to assure protection for the family and home under policies providing in various ways for the payment of the insurance money in the form of a monthly income for life. Thus the beneficiaries are protected against waste or loss. In this way the Equitable provides insurance that insures—protection that gives permanent protection. The Equitable's public service is further indicated by the distribution of its funds throughout the United States in conservative investments, including dwelling and farm loans.

CITY HALL HUNTING camel as Mascot

Executives Getting Wrinkles Fangled H"l OW can the city economize on its water bill? ..-J With the new schedule in effect, costing Indianapolis nearly SIOO,OOO a year more, the board ts works has ordered pipes squeezed tightly so that not a drop escapes. If you should happen to drop In the city hall and remark that a man’s money flows as freely as water, said man will be classed as stingy. For the administration has agreed that water shall no longer flow thus. Water seems to be the city’s failing. Whether it is piped in the city hall or leaks through the roof, it is expensive. New plaster comes high, and city officials find upkeep on umbrellas an important item as they wade from office to office. “Well, they don’t seem to economize on anything else, why put all the blame on water?” answered City Controller Joseph L. Ilogue. Find That Leak - \ Pounding in the office of the sanitary board became so loud at this point that a hurried investigation was started. A bad leak was being hunted by zealous plumbers cutting through the north wall. The sanitary board had a partial solution —stop the leaky pipes. Up in the board of health, Dr. Herman T. Morgan, secretary, suggested canteens for city employes to be filled on a prescription basis. But he had no idea as to reducing wat.gr bills at the City Hospital except by drilling wells, a plan which is already under way. , Could John F. Walker, superintendent of street cleaning, tell operators o$ his big street flushers to flush lightly? Maybe Meridian St. could be § 1,000-gallon street, instead of unlimited supply. Walker said there wasn’t a possibility of saving a drop in his department. “Not a Drop to Drink” Taylor E. Groninger, corporation counsel, and commander-in-chief of the city's forces against higher water rates, is juggling figures constantly to effect a saving. But he admits he is stranded with water all about him. Benjamin Perk, utility expert, figures a daily saving of 30,453 drops if city employes would miss one drink a, day. “Boys, this Is a 10.000-gallon fire, so watch yourselves,” might be the warning of Fire Chief John J. O’Brien. There is no chance of the fire depart ment practicing water economy, un less it could borrow from White River. But city officials agree that tlTe com mon practice of letting hydrants rur In the summer to keep the water coo! and In the winter to keep it from freezing Is expensive. Beverly Howard, custodian, and his corps of assistants are making the water go farther as they carefully nioj the floors. Reduce the number < buckets to each floor, he 6Ugges;.might effect a saving. Or, even be ter, mop less
