ance, which was issued at the time
Of entering the service, into the per-
manent forms.
Ten features which prominently
stand out in the government policy
are as follows:
l. The total permanent disability
clause is granted without cost to the
insured and it is free from all re-
strictions.
2. Government insurance does not
charge its policyholders any over
head expense.
8. 1t contains an extremely liberal
definition Of disability.
4. It gives very substantial pay
ments.
5. It contains no age restrictions.
6. 1t is unrestricted as to travel,
residence or occupation.
7. Premiums paid in advance are
refunded down to the month, in case
of death.
8. The policy is nom taxable.
8. Unusually liberal cash, lean,
paid-up insurance and extended term
insurance values are included.
TO- 1t participates in dividends.
If the policyholder is unable to
keep the full amount Of the War Risk
Insurance he carried while in the
service he may reinstate part of it
from 81, 900 up to $40 in multiples of
$500. Reductions may be made in
multiples of $500 to any amount, but
not less than $1,000. Premiums are
due on the first Of the month, al
though payments may be made dur
ing the calendar month.

proud, and who for period of years
was with the American Snuff Com

on adding him and his as most
valuable acquisition. Memphis is
made the poorer and Nashville the
richer by this move. OF the man and
the change a Memphis paper of
September 81 says:
~. B. Mcnamara, special repre-
sentative from the Memphis branch
of the federal reserve branch of st.
Louis, was elected today as cashier
of the new Nashville branch of the
federal reserve bank of Atlanta. Di-
rectors Of the new bank met here to-
day.
Mr. Mcnamara was chief clerk in
the Memphis branch Of the federal
reserve bank and has been a resident
here for several years, having been
with the American Snuff Company
before going into banking. He came

The farmers Of the country con-
tributed about one-fourth Of the man
power Of the forces Of the United
States engaged in the war.
II is estimated that 10000 men
who served in the Army the Navy
and the Marine Corps were born and
reared on American farms.
A total Of 4,539,O4s men took out
War Risk Insurance, their aggregate
policies totaling nearly $40,000,0O0,
and each policy averaging $500. OF
this total insurance service men from
the farming districts carried approx
imately $40, 42O, 100000, and by far
the greater percentage of this insur-
ance was made payable to wives,
mothers, fathers and other relatives
who reside on farms.
The average age Of the men who
fell in action, died of wounds or
from other causes during the war,
was 90 years, and because of their
youth, by far the greater percentage
we're unmarried men. Which explains
why AZ per cent. of the policies taken
out named mothers as beneficiaries,
16 per cent. named fathers and only
Z per cent. named wives.
In the original War Risk Act pro-
vision was made for the policies
written on service men during the
war to be continued as permanent
government insurance. To avail
themselves Of the opportunity to
convert their War Risk Insurance
into permanent United States gov
eminent insurance it is necessary
that the men discharged from serv-
ice continue to pay their monthly
premiums, and at some time during
the five years following the formal
declaration of peace that they con-
vert into a permanent policy.
From the record it appears that
only about twenty-five per cent. of
the men who had insurance during
the war are continuing to keep up
their insurance. This is largely due
to the fact that the men were unfa-
miliar with the provisions Of the act,
or that they have not felt financially
able to carry their insurance at this
time
To guard against any man losing
his right to government insurance
because of this condition the secre-
tary of the Treasury recently issued
ruling allowing every man eighteen
months in which he has the oppor-
tunity to reinstate his insurance af-
ter he has allowed 1T to- lapse be-
cause of non-payment of premiums.
This reinstatement privilege should |
be clearly understood. SO long as a
man is not paying his premiums he
is not insured. His reinstatement
privilege merely gives him the right
to again have government insurance
without undergoing physical exami-
nation, and upon the payment of two
months premiums.
A NATIONWIDE campaign has been
inaugurated for direct personal con-
tact with former service men thru
which they may be informed of their
rights to permanent government in
surance, and IN this campaign have
been enlisted the American Red
Cross, the Y. M. G. A., the Knights
of Columbus, the Salvation Army,
the Y. M. Fl. A., the Boy Scouts and
numerous other national social well
fare organizations. In addition more
than $4,000 life insurance agents
have been enlisted. The volunteer
roll further includes thousands of
bankers, doctors, lawyers, manufac-
turers, other business men and rep

STARVING BEES
 WILL GET PART OF SUGAR SUPPLY

Storrs, Conn.,, Nov 3.-Connecti- cuts starving bees are to obtain quick relief by an assignment of 10000 pounds of sugar obtained by L. B. Crandan of Storrs through the U. S. Sugar Equalization Board.
 To obtain this sugar it will be nec- essary for the apiarist, to-m make for nal application to MT. Crandall at Storrs, stating the number of col onies for which sugar is needed. MT. Crandan will then issue an order for the sugar.
 For two weeks or more the food situation affecting bees has been most serious," says MT. Crandau '"The cause of the shortage is the wet weather this fall which prevented the bees from laying up their usual stores of nectar to carry them over the win ter. The condition is quite general throughout the state and in fact over the entire country. The use of sugar is absolutely imperative to prevent great numbers of bees from perish ing of starvation.

FIX TIME LIMIT
 ON DRINKING IN
 MERRY ENGLAND

London, Nov. 3.-(By The Associat- ed Press) Twelve hours a day for drinking will be proposed by British saloonkeepers in a bill they expect to introduce into Parliament Before the war the number of week day hours for the sale of liquor was fixed at 19 1-2 in London, IT in provincial towns and 16 in the country
 The new bill proposes to leave Sunday hours substantially as they were in pre-war times, the London number, ', being applied to the whole of England.
 Framers of the measure say they are seeking to convert the publit' house from g. place used merely for the consumption of alcoholic drinks into one of varied public refreshment and social entertainment. They pro- pose to remodel public houses in or der to make them commodious and airy and to introduce music, dancing and games.

MEXICAN WOMEN
 OBTAIN JOBS AS MOVIE CENS0RS
Films Will Be Used To Show Real Conditions
 In Mexico.

Mexico City. Nov. 1.-(By the Asso- ciated Press) Two young Mexican women have been placed in control of the censorship of development of motion picture films in Mexico. They are Miss Adriana s. Ehlers, who will act as chief censor and Miss Dolores L. Ehlers, who will have charge of the work of producing Mexican films to be distributed in the United States, Europe and Latin-American coun- tries.
 The purpose of this widespread dis tribution of the Mexican films is an nounced to be to clear away many of the misunderstanding that are said to exist regarding Mexico.
 In addition the two young women are to have charge of the making of educa tionaI films to be exhibited free of cost to natives of Mexico to teach Mexicans modern methods of living. The two young women will act under the direction of the Department of the Interior.
 Films showing the life and indus tries of Mexico are being prepared under the direction of Miss Dolores L. Eh1ers who has a staff taking pie lures in different parts of the repub- ic These are to be distributed by
 
 reau of Commercial Economics in virtually every country in the western hemisphere. Censorship is to be rigor- ous All undesirable films such as gruesome murders and immoral p1t lures now widely shown and patrO% tzed by the poorer people are to be barred from the public by Miss Ad- riana S. EhIers. The smuggling of films across the American border Is to be stopped. As etght-five per cent of the population of Mexico is illiterate, films have been adopted as the only means of educating people who can not read or write.
 The Misses Ehlers were selected by President Carranza through means of a motion picture scholarship and sent three years ago to the United States to study the possibilities of motion picture business from a national standpoint They first took a course in the mechanics of motion picture work at Boston, later studied the work of large film companies in New York and subsequently were permit ted to work in the photographic sec ton of the War Department, at Washington. It is announced that beginning November 1 they will have complete charge of. the entire film industry in Mexico.

FRENCH REPORT SHOWS DECREASE
 IN POPULATION

Paris, Nov. 3-A continued shrink age of the population of France is shown by the vital statistics of the republic for the year 1918, which have just appeared.
 Without counting the war losses, the French nation numbers 3S9 575 less than in 1917. These figures af- feet only the 17 departments of France which were not in enemy oc- equations. They are the excess of deaths over births. The decline is attributed mainly to the ravages of the influenza epidemic in the latter half of 1918 from which it is com puted that about 100000 persons died.
 Compared with 1917, there was an increase in marriages of 19, ,364; but the number of divorces also rose from 5,572 to S,121.
