The Llf Underwriters Association of Canada held Its regular annual eeielon at Winnipeg during ths sarly part of July and among ths Visitors In attendance was John Dal of Omaha. Office and Field, the great Canadian Insure-no tnagaslne, pub lished at Toronto, In Its report of ths pro. ceadlng of this convention, thus refer to Mr. Da!; "If any man not knowing ths whol ease had been askad if It would bs well to have a apesch as ths nest Item on the program, he would hav unanimously and thunder ously said ,No:M no titna for speechmak Ing. But It happened that th vry man wss aboard with ths Vsry speech In him thst ths people wanted to hear. They didn't know he was there, and he didn't know the speech, but when th thing was dons everybody knew that th peoh was the exact Item that waa wanted for that very plaoe In the program. The speaker was Hon. John Dal of Omaha, Neb., an old time life underwriter. Ia Introducing him President Mc Bride spoke tn terms of enthusiasm and gratitude of the kind recap tions given himself an his visits to the asso ciations in th United B tales aa president of tb Canadian association.

II Is emphatloeity of th Oliver Wendell Holmes kind, who. It will be remembered, on reaching the allotted apan. declared himeelf . 'seventy years younger.' Mr. Dale looks a man of 90 and talks Ilk a particularly bright youth just graduating from oolleg. When some enthusiast, roused by bis aloquanoa, said something about an 'old man,' Mr. Dale's answer was: 'Thy don't speak that way of m at horn; they oall m "Kid." ' Abating no love for th land of his adop tion and oltlsenahlp. Mr. Dal etirred bis hearers to enthusiasm aa bs declared bis love no less, though different, for ths land snd flag of his nativity. His speob sparkled with humor and glowed with feel ins as he told of the great work accom plished both in Canada and ths United tttates by the underwriters' movement. Having been called upon without warning, he excused himself for giving out Ms thoughts as they oama, having no time to arrange them In order. But. as proving the advantages on some occasions of this kind of speech, he told this story: A minister had preached for years carefully prepared sermons, sticking olosely to the manuscript, but with no great effect. He decided, therefore, to speak extempore, and did so, making a great suocess. When asked about It h explained that formerly the spirit of evil, knowing In advance how be Intended to try to influence his hearers, hardened their hearts against him, neu tralising all that be tried to do. 'But now,' he said Joyfully, 'the devil himself don't know what I'm going to nay, and so he can't beat roe.' ' 'The Grand Old Man of Omaha,' Mr. Dale waa at once dubbed, and for the rest of the trip he held an informal reception people crowding about hint to take him by the hand and thank him for bis address. ; ' wry " ',' I ' mi iiis i irr r JOHN DALE.

EYEN EXPERTSGANNOT AGREE Connoilmen Are Asked to Choose Be tween Warring Engineers WHAT IS THE LIMIT OF SAFETY t DtMmssloa -t Nwve B wilding Laws Reach ee No Coneluloa TwesAay Beosau Baarlaocrs apport Different Tkewrlea. Experts reached an Impass very quickly tn tho discussion of concrete engineering before the committee of th oounoil. called Tuesday morning to. discuss th naw build ing ordinance, and after tb problem was well stated they argued with what seemed to th more or loss bewildered coundlmen, ndles Ingenuity. R. S. Shankland of Chi cago, who 1 recognised by all ths archi tects and builders Interested as a national authority on tha subject of reinforced con crete buildings, was Inclined to put the limits of ssfety higher than some engineers wanted them. Engineer Dawson, repre senting ths "Kahn system," argued that "medium" steel is the best material to be used for reinforcement. Mr. Shankland held out for "high carbon'' steel, which will stsnd greater pressure on the same amount of the other material. The coundlmen on the committee. A. C. Kugel, M.' P. Punkliousrr and Q. F Brucker, wars not so much Interested In what should be declared the best engineer ing practice, ss they were reaching eomt sort of a compromise. The two most in terested architects, John LaUenssr and T. R. Kimball, were also inclined to com promise on a safety limit slightly higher than that contended for by Mr. Dawson and lower then what waa asked by Mr. Shank land. Adapted from tha Chicago Law. The Omaha law was drawn from the Chicago law, which Mr. Shankland helped to write. Mr. Dawson based his objections upon tbe fact that the Kahn system, which Is used by the Kshn company of Detroit tn building concrete buildings snd has been used In a number of structures In Omaha, will be shut out from work her. C. 8. Elgutter was present as attorney for the company. The architects admitted that the Kahn system would bs handicapped, but Mr. fihankiaod declared that If tha Kahn buildings would conform to reasonable rules of safety tbey could conform to the ordi nance. There seemed to be no end In sight and ths council adjourned at noon for further hearing. Augusta, Me $44.80 Atlantic City, N. J... 43.50 Boston, Mass 40.60 Bangor, Ma 46.80 Buffalo, N.
