The question has been asked whether white men have larger brains than negroes. Weiglit of brains differs very little among the various races nor is there any per- ceptible relationship between the weight of the brain and intelligence. It is the con- volutions in the brain that produce its qualities, as Arthur Brisbane has so often cited. King Christian of Denmark, the Win- ter Haven Chief hears, is _ exceptionally fond of Florida grapefruit, praising it as “the finest grapefruit I ever tasted.” Naturally. What do you suppose Ruth Bryan Owen has been doing over there all this time? And it’s a safe bet that no green fruit shipments were permitted, even to this distant destination —Miami Daily News. “Two prominent names frequently confused in public life in Florida are Wm. C. Hodges, of Tallahassee, for many yzars a member of the Florida Legislature and president-elect of the 1935 State Senate; and J. B. Hodges, of Lake City, able chair- man of the State Democratic Executive Committee,” says Russell Kay.

This constant progression is indicative of the attitude of the American people to- ward life insurance. During the present century there has been great decentraliza- tion of wealth, which has given the aver- age man more to spend. As the average inmeome rose, a steadily ascending per- centage of it was applied to life insurance. Late estimates indicate that 67 per cent of md our people own life policies. It is an en- couraging fact that the trend is toward the purchasing of policies of the investment |. type, which create estates and protect the head of a family as well as his dependents, rather than policies which mature only at the death of the wage earner. Hard-headed observers forecast that life insurance is just on the verge of its period of greatest expansion—and that even its fine record in the past will look small compared to that of the future. If that is true, there need be little worry over the ultimate economic welfare of the | American people.
