Take the case of Frances McMil-te- n, comely Enid, Okla., girl who was the only ' one of her sex to win one of the Westinghouse scholarships. She Knows What War Means. Frances knows farming from a womans angle and she knows it from a mans angle, too. She also knows about the sacrifices of war. 4-- H teen-ager- s, The only girl winner was Miss Frances McMillen, Enid, Okla. She is now studying electricity at Oklahoma A. and M. college.

The list of his electrical accomplishments go on and on all of them a tribute to his ingenuity, his ambition and his imagination. Other National Winners. Four other national winners, youths from Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota, also have done outstanding work. . Jesse Nemechek Jr. of Humboldt; Neb., built an electric pig brooder, bought an electric arc welder and saved many a dollar by repairing machinery himself, electrified much of the machinery in the farm workshop. Rodney Hall, 16, of Turner, S. D., lives on a farm that is not yet on a power line, but he has built a wind charger which provides the home with electric lights and made a time switch connected to an alarm clock that turns the lights on in a chicken house automatically. Harlan Dietzel, Bay Port, Mich., has done the wiring around the farm, made an electric motor portable so it could do a variety of jobs, constructed electrical heaters to keep water fountains from freezing and repaired much electrical equipment. Raymond Schafer of Red Lake Falls, Minn., constructed an electrical welder, mounted it on a trailer and now does welding jobs for most of the neighborhood. And the money he makes will be used to buy new electrical gadgets for the farm when the war is over. when he Joined a radio club at Each of the 37 state Rural school.

The young man she had promised to marry was killed in action overseas. She has always like'd the farm and helped a lot with the work around food factory on which the she lives. Then, a year ago, her father died.' With her older brother in the armed forces, Frances, her mother and her sister were left to operate the place, and with the wartime manpower shortage, it was impossible for them to obtain adequate help. It was then that Frances conceived the idea that electricity could be the hired man on the farm. She learned to keep the electrical equipment on the farm in good running order, studied adaptations of electricity to new jobs. She added new electrical equipment to the farm and made it do more jobs. Soon the farm was operating smoothly and efficiently. t Hes Wired for Electricity.

Some states encouraged the development of fire insurance within their own , borders. ' In the early 1800s, Pennsylvania and New York had laws excluding foreign companies, and Pennsylvania in 1829 forbade writing of insurance there by companies organized outside the state. Stock companies were attempting to start agency systems outside their home states, but this move made no great headway until 30 years later. In the 1850s, both the agency system and regulation of companies by state insurance departments began to develop rapidly. Huge Loss Spurs Growth. The trend toward this growth was stimulated by a disastrous fire in New York in 1835 which necessitated the payment of large losses and ruined some New York companies. One Connecticut company which ia, still in existence had total losses, after settling claims in this conflagration, amounting to $75,000, twice the amount of premiums collected in 1835 from all states in which this company did business. The catastrophe of 1835 provided a tragic but persuasive reminder of the shortsightedness of restrictive legislation and it caused the states to welcome sound fire insurance companies from other states and from abroad, whose risks were spread over large areas. This fire also demonstrated the wisdom of geographic dispersal of liability for losses, and directed attention to the necessity of maintaining company reserves large enough to meet normal anticipated. losses, as well as the importance of being prepared for possible catastrophic losses.
