ABOUT twenty-three years ago, two
sisters each bought an Endowment
Policy in the Confederation Life Asso
ciation . .... one for eight, the other for
ten thousand dollars.
The policies matured within six months
of each other in 1928, The sister with
the eight thousand dollar policy decided
to take the proceeds in cash with divi
dends. The other sister decided to let
the policy remain with the Confederation Life and draw
the proceeds of it in the form of a monthly income for life,
which the Confederation Life is paying to her at this time.
The sister with the eight thousand dollars put part of it
into property which she still has: but she herself told us
that she speculated, not only with the balance, but with
some other savings. The result has been a loss of about
fifty-five hundred dollars. This tale of two sisters might
be told of hundreds of beneficiaries of life insurance,
The modem method of purchasing life insurance is not
only to provide money for dependants, but to provide, as
well, a dependable income, so that, no matter what happens,
this income cannot be dissipated, or in any other way be
endangered.
We strongly recommend all those experienced, as well as
inexperienced, in the management of investments to buy
Confederation Life Monthly Income Insurance or Pension
Bonds.
Write for the interesting particulars of these types of
policies. You will be astonished to learn how much pro
tection you can buy for so modest a premium.

‘ ‘NIGHT- WATCHED-MEN”
By R. S. Rider, Vice-President
Canadian Steel Corporation, Limited
Whenever I pick up a newspaper
telling about some industrial plant
or warehouse being robbed and the
night watchman found dead, beaten
or unconscious, I feel that these
faithful sentries are misnamed. In
stead of ‘nightwatchman’’, where
plant -or warehouse is unprotected by
the steel walls of industrial fence,
they should be called “Nlght-Watch-
ed-Men.” That is exactly what they
are. The eyes of the furtive mark
their every move and mostly without
their knowledge. The more method
ical a watchman may be in his
rounds—which means the more con
scientiously faithful he is in doing
his duty—the better he serves the
purposes of"those who pillage or
destroy.
Industrial fence puts a line of
marching sentries about the proper
ties it protects. Plant safety no. ’ong-
er rest on the shoulders of one more
police private in the unofficial army
of industry. Instead, the night
watchman-—-if he still retired—be
comes the commander of a garrison
which keeps the pilferer and sneak
thief at a proper distance and is not
daunted by the full muster of organ
ised crime.
Many buildings or plants protect
ed only by -Cyclone Industrial Fence
a?e far safer with nightwatchmen
than they are now, unfen-ced, with
two or even more on the job.
It is easy to say that this im
provement will pay for itself. As it
happens, Cyclone Industrial Fence
really does that in many cases., It
cuts down insurance costs, pre
vents petty .pilfering and damage
that is rarely of such a kind that the
less can be even approximately es
timated.
Further, the cost of Industrial
Fence today is lower than at any
time since it. was first produced. Our
Company takes pride in doing more
than merely selling Industrial Fence.
Instead, the Canadian Steel Corpora
tion takes pride in selling Industrial
Fence Service, which includes every
thing from consultation through
drawing up of plan and blueprints
to erection and final testing. We
are very glad to receive inquiries
from executives who may only be
"thinking about” industrial fence.
They can be assured that our indus
trial engineers will give them the
fullest information possible and
without placing the inquirer under
even a shadow of obligation.
Incidently, there should be more
inquiring done -on that friendly basis
The manufacturer who has a better
product to sell is not afraid of com
petition. What he fears is that the
man in the market may not hear
about that product until he has plac
ed his order for inferior material.

THEBE’S NO PRIVILEGE FOB CRIME
"Youth’’ declared 'Sir William Mulock, one of the most fully
trusted judges in North America, "is no excuse for crime.’’
It is well that youth snould get this idea well Into their prac
tical understanding. Youths know the difference between right
and wrong. Everybody outside lunatic asylums is aware of that
fact. Yet while this is the case, fond parents and indulgent friends
prattle away about youth’s having its "fling" "going it while
you’re young” and about the excusability of “White” lying and
general disregard of the ten commandments.
Some who know better talk about the reasonableness of "one in
dulgence.” “To step aside is human” they yodel. On the other
hand, it is like a breath from the heather, to hear a judge say.
“Youth is no excuse for crime.” It does a whole lot of good for
youth to know that a hangman’s-impe may be the'pena-lty of the
"one indulgence.”
"You'll wind up in jail for this sort of thing” a friend inform
ed a youth who is noted for his way of exceeding the speed limit
while driving his car. Well, he's in jail now for killing a man
while driving fifty miles an hour. "Youth is no excuse for crime.”

IT CAN’T BE DONE
When Russia, some ten years ago, set out to build itself into
an ideal nation, she made the -mistake of substituting the drill ser
geant for the schoolmaster. She seemed to think that if only she
Gould get the people working that she ha-d solved her economic
as well as all her other problems.
She heeded the cry “Produce! Produce! Produce!”. Succeed in
this in production and all things economic shall be added unto you!
Accordingly she got masses of her people together and compelled
them to- work at different occupations whether her citizens were
interested in the work or not. The overseer of the job was a drill
sergeant and the men working were “hands” rather than person
alities. Everybody in Russia was to work or be shot or bayoneted.
Well, things have gone wrong industrially in spite of the ter
rific energy put into the new way of doing things.. Steel works,
factories, collective farms have broken down, no matter how great
the physical drive behind the workers.
And the reason is the plainest in the world. When persona!
interest is taken out of work it cannot be well done nor done long.
Work that way is not characterbulding cannot be constructive in
any other way. .Slavery never made any nation permanently great.
' No matter how large the profits of a nation or a business it makes
it but builds on the sand when it ignores or violates the sanctites
of human life.

CHANGING THEIR ROUTE
-One of the bright yohng men from our office while wandering
about the other day came upon a young man who was hitting the
pavement but who had an open eye for a ride. Needless to say-
that this -man’s name was Weary, Very Weary, to be more explicit.
“I’ve not done a thing for two years,” he explained- to our bright
young man. "That is. I’ve been out of a regular job for that time.
I was a bookkeepei’ and I’m fitted for nothing else," he continued.
“Of course I’ve mowed a few lawns and all that to keep me in spend
ing money. I need some money for such necessities as a cake of
soap once in a while."
“And for cigarettes?" our bright young man suggested.
“Bless ya no! People give us them!"
"What are you doing out here?"
“Ya see the cops nab us fellows who have no settled place of
abode and who have no visible means of support if we stay in one
municipality for more than a day. The way we- wbrk it is to have
routes. We work our way to Brantford and all intervening points '
for one trip. Then we try out the Windsor route for another. We
find” out the routes that do best by us and divide hp so that there
wont be too many of us on one route/’
“Work’s pretty scarce?"
"It surely is, You see we fellows are not fitted for all kinds
of work, I’m a bookkeeper for instance and I must be careful/'
"You change your routes once in a While?”
"I’ve been up this way for the first time. The people use us
real well. I think we’ll have to make a nice little trip uip in this
direction. We’ve got to go where Eve’ll do beat/’
"You said nothing about a Hamilton*>Or Toronto route?"
"Nothing doing those ways! They na'b us and fuh -us in, We’re
going to try out this way. The picking: is better/’
