Underwriters Urge Every
Soldier to Retain His
Government Insurance

Following the publication in a
local paper yesterday of the rates
and policy conditions that the Gov
ernment War Risk Bureau is offer
ing to the soldiers and sailors for
the conversion of their term policies
now in force, e. r. Eckenrode,
Flavel L. Wright, w. Fl. Cordry,
S. G. Langdon and V. w. Kenney,
members of the executive commit
tee of the Central Pennsylvania I'm
derwriters Association, held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon to discuss
the best method for the members of
the association to cooperate with
the War Risk Bureau in keeping in
force and converting into permanent
forms of insurance every policy now
in force on the lives of the soldiers
and sailors.
Pending the receipt of further in
formation from the Government,
the underwriters advise every SOL
dier and sailor as follows:
do not allow your policy to
lapse.
do not allow any one to induce
you to drop a policy issued by the
Government War Risk Bureau to
take policy with corporate life
insurance company. You will be
the loser If you do.
do not believe any statement
that term policies issued by the
War Risk Bureau are to be con-
verted into other forms of insurance
by corporate life insurance COM
panies. They are not. You may
convert your term policies into reg
ular whole life, limited payment, or
endowment policies with the Gov
ernment War Risk Bureau and have
cheaper insurance than any corpo-
rate company can sell you. Cor
porate life insurance companies are
compelled to pay state taxes and
other legitimate expenses out of the
premium receipts. The expenses of
the War Risk Bureau have been and
will be borne by the taxpayers.
IF you are insured by the Gov
ernment for $4,000 or any other
amount, and find it impossible to
continue the entire amount of your
insurance, you may reduce your
policy to a smaller amount; but do
not take this action until tou are
absolutely sure that you cannot
carry the entire amount. You will
never again get as good insurance
+ at as low rate. Keep it in force"

and the experts opine that but for
this McCrae might easily have got
away with a new worlds record.
When McCrae had covered five miles
and a little more n cold wind sprang
up. Facing this encouragement on
every lap unquestionably took much
running out of the flying Scot. He
tired badly in the sixth mile and early
in the seventh fell behind Shrubb's
figures McCrae kept going to the
finish line in capital style, however,
and eventually crossed the tape less
than a quarter of minute behind
the mark that athletic experts the,
world over have held to be unbeat-
able.
McCrae is probably the most re-
markable professional runner that the
world has ever seen. He works
eight hours every day in shale pit
and seldom takes day of except
when he has a race on. When he
races on Saturday McCrae always
does his regular uay WoTh oh rii-
day. His actions in this respect are
the most remarkable because of the
fact that of. late he has earned many
good sized purses. For beating Cum
mings' record, which was made In
1885, McCrae was rewarded with
purse of about $1,000. In spite of
having taken in this goodly sum,
McCrae was back on his job in the
shale pit bright and early the next
Monday morning.

Tech Travels Over to
Lebanon on Friday

The Technical High School basket
ball quintet will have it's first real
test of the season Friday night, when
they will play the Lebanon High
School representatives at that place.
IL Tech wants to keep at the head of
the league, the Maroon outfit will
have 10 win the contest. This will
be hard test for the local boys, but
they ought. to be equal to the emer-
gency. Should Tech lose, they will
be forced from first to third posi-
tion. Last season Reading and Leb-
anon We're the only two teams that
defeated Tech away from home. The
Lebanon contest was lost through in
ability to toss fouls. So.
Faculty Director GEubb will take
the entire string of nine players down
to Lebanon, and all will be given
chance should the score warrant If
Tech can stop "Poss" Miller in the
same fashion that Allentown did last
Friday night it will be another con-
quest for the Maroon five.
While Tech and Lebanon are bat
tling, Reading will be making a
southern trip. Thursday night they
will play a league contest at York.
Reading ought to be able to win
judging from the game the Workers
played against Tech. The Berlls
county boys will have to win or drop
from their tie with Tech for first
place. York will fight hard to come
back, after losing on their home floor.
At Reading week ago York pre-
sented little offense for the Reading
ties. These two tilts will wind up
the first third of the schedule for the
month of January. February and
March will see the six teams battling
for the lead until March 2S. when
Steelton closes the league season by
opposing the local Tech team on the
Chestnut street floor.
