YOU can have an ESTATE

IFE INSURANCE gives a person time to accumulate an Estate, if he lives, and provides that Estate instantly if he dies The Life Insurance Estate is created by a small deposit. After this amount has been paid, the Estate of the insured is immediately increased to its full value. The Estate that has been created is maintained by periodical payments. Wives sometimes object to Life Insurance. Widows never do, because only the widow realizes the hardships of readjustment and difficulty of providing the family income. Homes have been saved, business tided over, children kept in school, doctor's bills paid, families held together-all because the head of the house refused to put off, and started early to build his Estate of Life Insurance. In approximately 90 per cent of the cases the proceeds of an Insurance Policy are all that remain at the death of those responsible for the support of dependents. Insurance is the finest Estate any man can leave his Family. Yes, you, too, can have an Estate.

The electrical wolkers play a major part, for it is the most extensive model wiring job on record, requiring 204,.000 watt illumination. Every part of The City of Light has it, electrical features. Strik- ing sound effects are also part of the show. Each performance will compress 24 hours in the life of the city into a 12- minute animated picture, while the small dioramas will give a succession of inti- mate scenes of personal life with the c,- -elated use of electricity. There are. Veni pictures set into the background of sky- scrapere-smdallr animated diuramias which will successively "show" and fade out, each being placed near an appropri- ate section of the city. Above the Brooklyn section of the big diorama, is the small scene showing Eb- bets Field, flooded with light, as the Rrooklyn Dodgers play night baseball.

The generator'a armatures and the motor's armatures constitute a circuit by themselves, which is not in- t.rrupted in service. Also the fields of the nlotors remain constant on a given direc- tion of operation. Thus while the energy imparted to the drive may at times reach 3,500 amperes at 500 volts (2,350 hp.) under normal operating conditions, the power handled by the separately excited fields and control will never be in excess of 28 amperes at 250 volts (9.4 hp.). By simple and efficient manipulation of the field rheostat and control gear in the excitation circuits of the gen- erators and of the variable speed motors, the latter's speed and direction of rots tion are under perfect control at all loails.

The following action was taken at the regular semi-annual meeting of the Supreme Lodge, held March 8, 1939:

WHEREAS the Electrical Workers Benefit Association is an association which admits to membership only those persons engaged in the occupation of electrician, or worker in some branch of the electrical trade, which is a hazardous occupation; and

WHEREAS the provisions of the Illinois Insurance Code exempts from its operation orders, societies, and associations, which admit to member- ship only persons engaged in one or more crafts or hazardous occupations: and WHEREAS the Trustees constituting the Supreme Lodge are charged with the general control and management of the said Association; and

WHEREAS the Supreme Lodge is desirous of obtaining all of the benefits to which it is entitled under the laws of the State of Illinois, now, therefore BE IT RESOLVED), That the Supreme Lodge hereby instructs the President and Secretary to petition the Director of Insurance of the State of Illinois for exemption in accordance with the provisions of Section 308 of the Illinois Insurance Code; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVEDI), That the Secretary be instructed to publish this Resolution in the next issue of THE JOURNAL OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS AND OPERATORS, a copy of which shall be sent to each member of the Association residing within the State of Illinois. It was Moved and Seconded that the above resolution be adopted. The motion was adopted unanimously.
