CROSS STREET STOVE CLUB.
Special Entertainment and Dance. in
Policy's Hall. Saturday Evening-
The social functions of the Cross
Street Sore Club are continuing to
malt with success. Another satisfact-
or)’ step toward the tlub's FI‘OSI‘VSS “1
sooinl entertainment was made on Sat-
urday evening. at l‘olley‘s liall. when
fiVe members of the liums‘ l’al'll‘ AA“
sociation. which is affiliated with the
Cross Street Stove t‘lub. were com‘
pletely surprised by their fellow
"Bums." This event was the fourth
of the so-called "Bums" parties, which
the Stove (‘lub is holding monthly, as
a pleasure for the members' social en-
tertainment. The five members who
were surprised and whose names will
now go down on the club‘s growing
"dead list." Were: Angelo Maruca.
Lester Young, Arthur Demato. Louis
\‘l’arga and Dominick Flore. Each of
these members was fined one dollar.
for the reason that they were attired
in their "best outfits," as they would
say in military terms. It is a custom
of the Bums“ Party Association to at-
tend these socials. attired as burns,
and to fine the member they surprise
one dollar: that is, providing they
catch him all dressed up in his best
suit. The above mentioned five. being
easy prey, most courteously and glad-
ly paid the fine imposed.
The task of catching these five mem-
bers was not an easy one. as it requir—
ed a great amount of scheming, after
which it. was decided that, as a decoy,
Sam Policy was to extend invitations
to these five members to attend a spe-
cial event, which was to take place at
the hall, on Saturday night. “fishing
to avail themselves of this opportu-
nity, the five “victims” made it a. spe-
cial point to see to it that they Were,
present. Upon .their arrival at the
.hall they were overtaken by surprise
to think that they were the next ones
to have their names added to the
school, which contains the names of
the three previous unfortunates.
1 Having fully recovered from their
:momentai-y shock. the entertainment
of the evening took place. The zenith
of pleasure was reached when the
members sat down to a large. banquet
ztable bountifully laden with estables.
Another surprise of the evening pres-
ented itself at about the time the sup-
per was to be served, when each and
every bum was handed an envelope
Which contained a cemic valentine.
Each member was then ordered to
read his and, after they were all read
supper was serVed. ’
The social activities were again re-
sumed after supper. at which time the
five members who were surprised
were lined up at one end of the hall
and Were all asked to make a speech
=Neither had very much to say—~but
tthey were all of the same opinion—

"FLU" HITS LIFE INSURANCE
Five Millions Paid Out by Companies
During Epidemic
NEW YORK, Feb lS.—The influen-
za-pneumonia epidemic. now practical-
ly ended, has cut the life insurance
companies of the country about $5,
000.000. according to an estimate made
today by an ofilcial of one of the big
eastern companies.
The figure is about onequarter of
the insurance paid out to influenda. and
pneumonia victims during the epidem-
ic of 1518-19, he said.
‘W‘m‘le the present epidemic appear-
ently is spent," the offlcail said, “the
payment. of premiums on Militant
deaths is naturally a few days behind.
But a. fair estimate or the total cost
of the epidemic to all the insurance
companies of the country would be
about 35.000.000.”
