II has been said that the aggregate of

life Is not less than $3.50, 900. This is de-
MED by the insurance men, who say the
statement Is ridiculous. To carry poll
cies agg.egating S35o,oOO, they say,
would require an annual outlay of Sl7,-
100, IL the insured took out his policies
when he was fifty years of age. Mr..
johnson could not have invested much
INSURANCE before he was for,y-iivc years
