Harrisburg Rotarians were delight
fully entertained last evening by John
Heathcote, superintendent of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com

Telegraph Building.
Mr.. Heathcote told the Rotarians
that his company has written all the
life insurance for this year that is
permitted under the limit set by law
and that all life policies written now
are subject to delivery January /
This is a record excelled by no other
company.
NIr. Heathcote also told of the well
fare work conducted by the company
in an effort to teach people to take
better care of their health and illus
trated his remarks by citing the fact
that the Metropolitan Company has a
standing contract with the Visiting
Nurse Association of Harrisburg to
render free nursing services to mem
bers of the company. Special nurses
were employed during the recent ty-
phoid epidemic.
A buffet luncheon was served by
Caterer Rutherford following the
meeting and each guest received

STORES SELL ALL
THEIR REVOLVERS
Hagerstown Residents Prepare
For Burglars Visits by Arm
ing Themselves

Hagerstown. Md, Nov. %. - The
wave of burglaries that has swept the
city in the last two weeks has spread
to a new field. Within the last sew
eral nights number of freight cars
in the railroad yards have been broken
open and merchandise and other con-
tents stolen. In a raid made one night
the thieves secured forty sacks of po-
tatoes from car.
Numerous appeals have been made
to the police by residents to be allowed
to carry revolvers as a protection
against holdups. Several bold rob-
berries have occurred in the last few
nights on the streets. James Nichols,
one of the victims, was held up by
three men and relieved of S45. No
less than thirty houses have been
, broken into and burglarized and a
score of attempts made to enter other
houses
All of the hardware stores in the
city have practically sold their stocks
of revolvers and ammunition to resi-
dents, who are preparing for visits
from the thieves. Nearly dozen sus-
picious characters have been arrested
by the police in their efforts to capture
the thieves.
