Is for tho National and American
leagues to hold joint session Of two
days or moro and consider the various
proposed reformA John Heydler. act
ing president Of the National League,
said here today.
There is altogether too much aieof-
ness. suspicion and lack Of confidence
between tho club owners Of the two
leagues" Mr.. Heyd1er said. In ex-
planning his proposal. TT is all right
to fight each other on the ball deld
during the playing season. but at
other times there should be at least
the ordinary business cooperation
that exists in other competitive lines.
ITO attempt to carry on a so-called
reconstruction program in base ball
without the sincere aid Of the sixteen
club owners, as well as of authorized
representatives of the minor leagues,
would result in absolute failure"

KEEP UP insurance
Mr.. M'AD00 URGES
Strongly Advises U. S. Sol.
diers Not to Let Govern
ment Policies Lapse.

As soldiers are demobdlized effort will
be made to impress on them the desira-
bilify Of their continuing payments on
ance, which can be maintained for five
years after peace, even though the SOL
der has returned to civil life. This will
be- done by insurance agencies in the
Army. working together with authorities
Of the Treasuy's war risk insurance
bureau.
Secretary McAdoo in q statement has
urged soldiers to retain their insurance
to protect their families and to retain
to be provided by the government. An
additional reason, it is said. is the Treas
uryS desire to make OF the soldiers and
sailors insurance demonstration that
government life insurance is successful
and can be extended.
1T desire to remind all Americas
soldiers and Sailors" said Mr.. McAdoo's 8
statement, that it is their opportunity
and their privilege to keep up their in
surance with the United States govern
mene after the war has officially ter
minated, and even after they have re-
turned to civil life.
Holds Good Five Years.
TN its present form this insurance is
annual, renewable term insurance at
net peace rates, issued against death
and total permanent disability. Under
the provisions of the war risk insurance
act every person holding this insurance
may keep it up in this form, even after
he leaves the service, for a period of
i've years. All that is necessary is the
regular payment of premiums.
Moreover, the law provides that not
later than five years after the termina-
ton of the war, as declared by presi-
Dental proclamation, the term insurance
shall be converted, without medical ex-
animation, into such form or forms of
insurance as may be prescribed by reg
ulations and as the insured may re-
quest This insurance will continue to
bo government insurance.
"The advantages Of keeping this in
surance in force cannot be emphasized
too strongly. The right to continue it
is a valuable right given by the govern
ment to our fighting men as compensa-
ton for their services. If this right is
lost by allowing insurance to lapse it
can never be regained. When govern
ment insurance is allowed to lapse the
holder cannot again obtain insurance,
except from private companies at a
considerable increase in cost More
over. many of the men may have be-
come uninsurable as result of the. war
through physical impairment. and if these
allow their insurance to lapse they will
lose the last opportunity for their fam
lilies to have the protection of life in
surancs"
