dent is laying plans to secure as much
important legislation as possible dur
uig the short Session opening next
month,, Measures he particularly de
sires passed are those to allow Amer
tcan exporters to establish common
selling agencies abroad, to enlarge the
Interstate Commerce commission and
to create machinery (or preventing in
the future a crisis similar to that
which recently threatened to involve

- Working on Message, .i - -
' The president has began oreoaration
of his next message to congress. He
plans to urge that number of these
questions be taken up. '
, Although Mr. Wilson was tired out
when he returned to the White House
last night, he was up early today
and had breakfast before 8 o'clock.
Immediately afterward he began
reading a huge stack of mail accu
mulated during bit trip to Williams-
!town, MiSS. "
The president- asked first for the
latest information on the political
jmakeup of the house of representa
tives in the Sixty-fifth congress. He
was told indications from present re
turns were that the republicans have
217 members and the democrats 212,
with six members of other parties. ,
i After a brief stay in Washington
the president may go away for a rest
before congress convenes. Hot
Springs was mentioned as the place
he might visit. . ,
Few Cabinet Changes.
There have been many reports cir
culated regarding changes in the
cabinet; but officials in close touch
(with the president declared today that
it is almost certain that he will urge
all the present members of the cabi
net to remain at their posts and
changes are ; not expected, unless
members themselves desire to quit
the official family.
It is considered possible, however,
that one or more members of the
cabinet may resign for personal rea-
I sons. Secretary McAdoo has been
frequently mentioned as one member
'likely to resign and Representative
! Carter Glass of Virginia, chairman of
'the house banking and currency
committee, has, been suggested for
,his post. It was ' stated definitely
'today that Mr. McAdoo can remain
in the president's cabinet as long as
he desires and it was denied that he
hat offered his resignation.
Supreme Court Probabilities,
j In case there is a vacancy in the
supreme court, .Attorney General
Gregory, Secretary Lane or Senator
i Walsh of Montana would be consid
ered first for" the appointment.
( Secretary Redfield, Secretary Biker
and Secretary Danieis also, have been
mentioned as members of the cabinet
who might desire to quit public life,
but it was stated definitely today
that none of them had signified any
such intention. ,
Secretary Tumulty it also expected
to remain at hit present post, al
though he could be appointed at a
member of the board of general ap
praisers in New York- if ne desired.
Reports have connected , Mr. Tu
multy's name with a cabinet position,
but it wss stated authoritatively to
day that he will not become a cabinet
officer, ,

AN EXCEPTION.
Live insurance is an exception (1)
to the rule "Don't buy a thing until
you meed it;" and (2) in that its cost
has not increased along with practi
cally everything else. ' If one waits
until he actually needs life insurance,
he cannot then get it Insurance com
panies insure only sound lives. Im
paired lives are denied all the stand
ard policies. The percentage which
companies reject is greater than their
death rate percentage.
If you have no life insurance, the
time to make your application is when
you are in good health. While the
cost of insurance has not advanced,
yet the premium does increase with
each year of added age. The younger
the age at which a policy is taken,
the smaller the premium.

patches on Recent Incidents
' Before President.
NO DECISION IS ' BEACHED
Washington, Nov. 13. Secretary
Lansing laid before President Wilson

tion. ; tie said no information nad

ment in response to an inquiry sent
through the American embassy there
concerning the sinking of the Marina,
when six American lives were lost.
While State department officials
considered the submarine question as
serious, no decision had been reached
today as to whether Germany has
violated pledges given to the Ameri
can government after the attack on
the Sussex.
All recent submarine activities, in
cluding the raid of the U-53 off the
New England coast are being con
sidered at the State department to
gether in an effort to determine
whether a new submarine policy hat
been adopted by Germany.
No developments of importance in
the Mexican situation were reported
to the president by Mr. Lansing.
While it is understood Mexican re
lations are not in a satisfactory state
from the viewpoint of the adminis
tration, the committee meeting at At

opportunity to reach a decision.'
