MOST SOLDIERS TOOK ADVANTAGE
 OF INSURANCE
(By Associated Press)


 CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, Wash, March 2.-Despite the fact that 97 per cent of the 32,510 men at Camp Lewis were signed up for total of S2s2,D00,- 900 war risk insurance, the campaign which had as it's slogan Insure every officer and soldier in the 91st division" did not relax until the last minute. When the time limit expired Fe6uary 12 there were but a comparatively New uninsured soldiers in the carton ment. Figures will be available soon giving the total insurance written fer the men of the Wild West" diRision
 During the closing week Camp Lewis led every cantonment in the United States, although closely pres8el by Camp Upton, Ntw York. The latest figures showed that 3f,20S men ai this camp had taken out policies. The great majority are insured for the max fmum of $10,OO0.
 Many organizations claim the dis tfnctfon of being 100 per cent insured This means that every man in the cCm- pany holds policy and all but one or two have the maximum. Those who failed to take the maxinlum already were carrying policies in old line com panfes. Company commanders ap- preached by men seeking ro transfer into their units recently have made it pofnt to ascertain that the appiEc- ant carried a $f0,000 policy. Enlisted men who failed to take out insurance are not sought by any organization.
 During the final days of the oaIH- paign in behalf of insurance many methods of interesting the delinduefrts' were adopted. Films were exhibited at the Liberty theater portraying the benefits of insurance, brief talks were made between acts at regimentaI en- tertainments in the "Y's," and the men were exhorted by their officers and by placards in barracks to insure
 The maximum policies cost the men approximately $6 monthly, depending on the age In event soldier carry ing $1O,OOO insurance makes the su- preme sacrifice, his dependents will receive $5750 per month for twenty years. The policy calls for the pay ment of this sum to the soldier should he be totally disabled during the var. 1 Within five years of the close of the war the policy holders will have the privilege of converting their policies into any form of insurance prescribed by the government, without medical examination. Such converted policies will be at net premiums computed in accordance with the American exper- fence table of mortality and win pro vide for cash, loan, paid-up and ex- tended insurance values.

Report ON Dillon County Jail.

\IuOilSneU ny Stdte BOarO Cnar1-
ties and Corrections.)
Mr.. l.. F.. Britt, Jailer. Visited May
/, 1916, by Assistant Secretary
Broyles. Population day of visit, 5
white men, 3 negro women and 5
negro men, the white men and the
women being Federal prisoners ser
wing sentences. The average daily
population in this Jail for the past 2
and half years has been approx
imately 90.
The Dillon Jail has excellent clas-
sification qualities, but the jailer
doesn't use them as carefully as he
should. Upon inspection. the negro
women were allowed to walk through
all the halls of the cell room, to-
gether with the white men, the negro
men being the only ones locked in
side the cell block. The women and
men should be kept separated at all
times, in the day as well at night,
and the races should not be allowed
to mix.
This Jail is excellently equipped
with bathing arrangements, having
two showers and two stationery
stubs, but none of these four are in
working order at present, nor have
they been for some time. Every eff
fort should be made made to have
these matters remedied Immediate
ly.
This is one of the few jails in the
state in which the useless practice of
initiation of the new prisoners by
the old is still allowed. 1t is liable to
lead to fighting and serious trouble
and should be stopped.
In order that the score of the plant
may be improved and living condi-
tions be made better, we recommend
that the Commissioners have the
showers and tubs repaired imme-
diately. getting a plumber from out
of town to come and do the work if
necessary; that they have the screens
repaired in the kitchen window, put
up a screen door, and put screened
in the upper story in the prisoners"
quarters: that the toilet which leaks
be repaired; that enough blankets be
purchased to allow all quilts or com
forts to be discarded: and finally
that more medical service be ar
ranged for by paying the county ply
sician Il salary for and requiring
him to-makc a physical eXamina-
ton of each new prisoner within
twelve hours OF commitment, to vac
cinate against smallpox when in
dicat, and tC make weekly inSpec-
tions of the prisoners food and quar-
ters, as we'll as visiting on call as at
present.
We commend the jailer, who is Il
new man since our last inspection.
for his care with regard to personal
cleanliness among the prisoners, and
We recommend that he improve his
score still more by adding to his rec
ords the race, age, and sex Of each
prisoner, together with the reason
for the prisoners discharge; that he
have the floors secured regularly
every week, and the steel work Of
the cells mopped off at the same
time; that the women be confined to
their part of the Jail at all times, and
the white prisoners to their section.
in order that the races and sexes
may not commingle at any time; and
finally that he stop all forms Of ini-
tiation among the prisoners.
