I uotis by the big owetiu' of ht« in
surance men iu Chicago L»at vveejjs xtiat
in the industrial trades women are ifar
better insurance risks than men. There
are some 6,000,000 women earnin' their
own livin' in America today and these
make good risks. But when it cocoes
to the high sassiety woemen the com
panies don't want 'em at any high rate"
Their habits make 'ein undesirable
risks. That's correct too. -These lazy
spleeny laactiv foundered high livers
ain't got constitutions that are goin' to
hold out. It ain't so long ago that''
only men was considered proper insur
ance subjects but it's only -reasonable
that self-supportin' women in domestic
and industrial trades would b6 health
ier and longer lived that the beer
guzzlin', tobacco doaked men who bum
much and rot out their constitu
tions. The insurance companies don't
go much^on sentiment. They get down
to scientific facts. They ain't ge(tin'
to consider many women as better risks
than men .from any other reason than
that they have found 'em actually and
purely so.
Farmer Ben has ben practicin' on
that sample primary, ballot and when
he goes to mark his leetle ballot next
Tuesday it won't take him a minit.
Where there's only two runnin' for the
same offis I hav to vote for only one.
