NEVADA FAMILIES ARE BEING PAID
S655. 800 IN WAR RISK INSURANCE

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. ~
Nevada families are being paid
s655,5O0 in war risk insurance
claims by Uncle SaEs. He is making
restitution to those whose sons and
husbands died in the service of their
country during the greatest war of
all time.
There are 75 insurance claims
being paid in Nevada through the
bureau of war risk insurance to
beneficiaries named at the time ap-
plication for insurance was made by
soldiers, sailors and marines, now
dead. The average policy carried
by these - men was $S740.
Disabled soldiers. as we'll as wild
ows and children and dependent
parents of those who have died,
are being made comfortable by the
government which is paying so COM
p~ensation claims to residents of Ne
vada.
In addition to the insurance and
compensation claims now being paid
IN Nevada. there are 25 of both
these classes of claims under inves-
tigation. These caves, however, are
rapidly being adjusted following an
investigation by bureau representa-
tives.
The bureau of war risk insurance
which administers ,nese affairs, has
been established by the government
as a permanent institution in recog-
milton of the services veterans or
the world war rendered their coun-
try.
The insurance which veterans are
able to carry as the result of this
act of an appreciative government
will be a constant reminder to them
of the part they took in the war:
whether it has been a matter of ac-
complishing a deed of valor as per-
formed by Sergeant Alvin Cullum
York OF Pail Mall, Tenn, or that
of the newest recruit who only un-
derwent the discomforts of bar
rack life, and was deprived of over
seas service by the armistice.
Records in the bureau show that
this has been a yv..ng mans war
and a mothers war. More than Al
pei CEN of the men who carried
/. government insurance made mothers
their beneficiaries. Fathers were
named by approximately 16 per cent
of the men.
The average age of the men killed
in France was % years.
An examination of the records in
the bureau of war risk insurance
shows that a large percentage of
married men in arranging for the
future protection of their families
planned for insurance to be paid to
their mothers, while their thought,
in arranging their compensation
benefits. was for their wives.
About 80 per cent OF the men
who carried war risk insurance
named their wives in making ar
rangements for compensation. Moth
ers were named by % per cent,
while the wife and child" were
named by IA per cent. This is the

A SHOWER of kisses on the hands and
feet of Umberto Gennarello, deliv-
cred yesterday in the Brooklyn mar
riage license bureau, transformed him
from an indignant and stubborn father
into mild and doting parent.
Carmella,. sixteen-year-old daughter
of Gennarello, had eloped with Alfred
Fiori. nineteen, of 80 Atlantic Avenue,
and when they reached the license bu-
reau they found that her father had
anticipated their move. He tore the
girl from her betrothed and loudly de-
nounced Fiori, who sank to his knees
and begged forgiveness. He kissed the
old mans hands and feet, and the girl
also pleaded on bended knees for parcn-
tai pardon.
Just as attaches of the bureau were
about to interfere, Gennarello relented
and then acted as witness at the mar
riage, which was performed by Deputy
City Clerk John F. Quayle.
