Boston, Mass, Nov. IA strange
freak Of nature has been discovered
BY Francis Grace, young telegraph

Hand of man painted.
While delivering message, young
Grace stumbled on a stone in the

and it split in halves. Picking up
one Of the pieces, Grace discovered
s. charming water scene. In the fore
ground appeared white-capped surf
and rocky headlands; in the back
ground a sea of green water, touch
ing the horizon of steel-blue sky,
topped with reddish glow. In the
offing was trim schooner with main

Some soldiers and sailors are drop

cause the relatives they named as
benefciaries have failed to receive
insurance certificates from Wash

Such action is entirely unwarrant-
ed and detrimental to the best inter
ests of the fighting men and their
loved ones.
Because of the delay in receiving
insurance certificates. many. soldiers
believe that they are paying fer in

not receiving. This is incorrect. Gov.

eardless of the receipt of the insu

plication has been made and prem

ia no part of the contract of insur

contract exists.
The Bureau of War Rick Insur.
aneer of the Treasury Department is
mailing insurance certificates as rap
idly as possible. To date more than
two and half million certificates
have been sent forward and the
daily output is constantly increas-
ing.
The Bureau of War Risk Insur.
ance now has on its books more
than thirty-five billion dollars of in
surance, and is receiving approx
nately one billion dollars of new
insurance every week.
1t is unnecessary to write te
