Soon after the United States went into the war, the president of a German manufacturing company in Philadelphia was ar on rested on the charge of smuggling HOW THIS WORKS OUT. How this sort of trustfulness works out is strikingly shown by the recent arrest of more than ninety Germans employed in a factory in New York City where a certain invention believed to be of vital importance was being perfected. It is found that some of the Germans thus employed had stolen the plans and finished parts of one of these in code. Three of the most important executive positions in the plant were held by Germans, and the whole situation is much the same as if all the details of the perfecting of this invention had been sent to Berlin for the manufacture.

The TCU Protects You All the Year Round October "I Can Work Without Worrying If Sickness Comes, My Income Will Not Stop" What a wonderful thing it is to be able to say "I can work without worrying." Worry kills more people than any physical malady. It dogs their steps through life, reduces their efficiency, deprives them of the joy of working, and finally cuts them off ten or fifteen years before their respective allotments. How remarkable it is, then, to find a simple plan, as this Teacher did, by which one may work without worrying. Read what Mrs. Trackett, of North Fond du Lac, Wis., last spring wrote to the T. C. U.: Gentlemen: Twice during this severe winter I needed the aid of the T. C U., because I have a family depending on me for support. I am most grateful to the friend through whom I joined it. I can work without worrying, knowing certainly that if sickness does come, my income will not stop. The Teachers Casualty Underwriters is a National Organization of Teachers for Teachers.
