The budget ordinance adopted by the council and aldermen, March 21, is "illegal" ami vetoed in one sweep of the yen.

Evening clollies are the turnout of courtliness and elegance; the expression of life's gentler moments, -when a man unbends and becomes as Byron cynically wrote, one of society's "polished horde, formed of two mighty tribes--the Bores and Bored." Correctness in day dress is often a matter of personal preference Correctness evening dress is a matter of strict, -almost inflexible, rule. When a man assumes "inky worsted and snowy linen, he loses h.s^den- titv as an individual and becomes, very much as the soldier in his regimentals, a private in the army of society, subject to zigid discipline in dress and deportment. It is a heartening fact that Americans are both eve- ninsr clothes more and that more Americans are wearing evening clothes Formerly reserved for high and rare occasions, when a wan "simply couldn't get oot of it," evening dress is now worn as a pleasure, rather than as a duty. And, wearing it more often, we wear it more smartly, for practice lends ease and self-assurance. Hence, you are well advised to seek, not shun, every occa- jion when ceremonious clothes are prescribed.

Hearts and Dollars Two Statements--one of which has to do with Health and Welfare the other with Financial Strength AN OPEN LETTER (Name on MR. HALBY FISKK, President METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE Co. NEW YORK CITY M) Dior Mr.

F'tske: Why don't you publish a Htart Statemint along with the regular Financial Statement you put out each year? Any company can publish impressive figures of financial strength, financial growth, etc. But figures don't stick. All I remember from your last year's Statement is that the Metropolitan has scrcral million policyholders and is the biggest insurance company in the world. I've been following some of your magazine advertisements lately that tell of work you're doing to help people live longer. It isn't entirely clear in my mind just how you 1 re doing it or why you do it, but since you are doing it, give us the facts and figures on that.

Call it a Heart Statement or a Welfare Statement, or anything you like, but--give us the facts. Perhaps other Metropolitan policyholriers like myself would be interested in a Statement of that kind. Very truly yours, C. N. Wi are indebted to Mr.

S. for his suggestion. It is an excellent one. We publish an annual Business Statement of the Metropolitan, not because we think, that the figures will be remembered, but because they offer conclusive evidence of unusual growth and strength to its 22,000,000 policyholders. And it is this extraordinary financial strength that makes it possible for the Metropolitan to carry on a nation-wide campaign for better health and longer life.

People now live longer Records kept by the Metropolitan show an extraordinary decrease in the death rate among its policyholders. Compared with 1911, for example, there were nearly 62,000 fewer deaths in 1924 among its Industrial Policyholders than there would have been if the 1911 death rate had prevailed.

These increases in longer life are due in large part to the Metropolitan's Health and Welfare Work among its policyholders, You are the gainer You and all the other 22,000,000 policyholders-one out of every six people in the United States and Canada --reap the benefit through better health and decreased cost of insurance. The wealth of the Metropolitan belongs to you and to no one'else.

The Metropolitan has no stock and no stockholders. It is owned solely'by its policyholders. You, as one of the policyholders, share in the ownership of all its investments; in its railroad bonds, its real- estate mortgages, its loans to farmers, loans to states, cities and towns for public improvements and similar enterprises. You, as a part-owner of over 1 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 should read the two statements on the left with a feeling of pride in what your company has achieved. The efforts as well as the assets of the Metropolitan arc dedicated to protection against want--to greater happiness, better health and longer life.
