Perth Amboy Is the shopping met
ropolis of Middlesex county n not
only Middlesex county, but a portion
of Monmouth county as we'll. This
fact has been established by the
EVENING NEWS representative in
the interviews on the shopping sur
vey. People come to this city to shop
from all localities. They come not
once, but many times. They buy all
manner of goods from needles to
player pianos.
South Amboy is no exception to this
rule. 1t is estimated that practically
the entire population of South Am
boy come to this city to shop. This
does not mean that all of the people
shop here continually, but it does
mean that at sometime during the
year, everyone in the city comes to
Perth Amboy to purchase something.
AS in other places visited by the
representative, it was learned that a
great deal of this trade is brought to
Perth Amboy through the advertise
ments appearing in the columns of the
EVENING NEWS. People buy the
EVENING NEWS and read the ad-
yertising pages with as much delight
as they do the finest news story. They
not only read the advertisements on
Friday night, but on every night of
the week, and there seems to be a
demand for more advertising each
night as well as only one night a
week.
In South Amboy the people shop
in this city because of the great vari-
ETY. of material and the coy and up
to-date shops. Some of the shops are
equal to some of the finest found in
Newark or on Fifth avenue, New York
and give n just Thai taste of re-
hnement so much desired by the
shoppers of today.
Another reason why South Amboy
people turn their footsteps to Perth
Amboy is because they can buy vari-
u articles in the markets that their
local merchants do not carry. Fancy
games, fruits, vegetables. sea food
and many other articles of this kind
can always be obtained here and
these facts alone make shopping in
Perth Amboy a pleasure. One lady
interviewed spoke of the fine cheese
which can be obtained in the Perth
Amboy markets, cheese hat it would
not pay her regular grocer to carry.

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 premium.
a nation wide campaign has been
inaugurated for direct personal con-
tact with former service men through
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 NJ. C. A., the Knights of Col
umbus, the Salvation Army, the Y.
NJ. c. A., the Boy Scouts, and num-
erous other national social welfare
organizations. In addition more than
$4,000 life insurance agents have been
enlisted. The volunteer roll further
includes thousands of bankers, doc
tors. lawyers, manufacturers, other
business men and representatives of
all associations which come in con-
tact with discharged service men and
their dependents.
The former service man who lives
on the farm will be reached to a
large extent through banks which
have volunteered to serve as clearing
houses for information on war risk
insurance.
There are six permanent forms of
government insurance, as follows:
|. 20-Year Endowment.
=. 3O-Year Endowment.
3. 20-Payment Life.
/. 3O-Payment Life.
5. Endowment at age 81.
6. Ordinary Life.
Applications are being received by
the bureau of war risk insurance for
changing the present term insurance,
which was issued at the time of en-
tering the service, into the permanent
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 :he
insured and it is free from all .'e-
strictions.
2. Government insurance does not
charge it's policy holders any over
head expense.
3. 1t contains an extremely liberal
definition of disability.
4. 1t gives very substantial pay
ments.
5. 1t 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 non-taxable.
9. Unusually liberal cash, loan.

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE
Time for Reinstating Lapsed Policie:
extended to Eighteen Months

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.
1t is estimated that l 100000 men
who served in the army the navy and
the marine corps were born and rear
ed on American farms.
A total of 4,539,O4S men took out
war risk insurance, their aggregate
policies totalling nearly $40,OO0,O0O,-
900, and each policy averaging So
700. Of this total insurance, service
men from the farming districts car
ried approximately S10,42O, 100000,
and by far the greater percentage OF
this insurance was made payable to
wives, mothers fathers and other re-
latives who reside on farms.
The average age of the man who
fell in action, died of wounds or from
other causes during the war was %
wears, and because of their youth, by
far the greater percentage were unn&I
ried men. Which explains why Al per
cent of the policies taken out named
mothers as beneficiaries, l6 per cent
named fathers and only per cent
named wives.
In the original war risk act provi-
sion was made for the policies writ
ten or service men during the war to
be continued as permanent Govern
ment Insurance. To avail themselves
of the opportunity to convert their
war risk insurance into permanent
United States Government Insurance
it is ecessary that the men discharg-
ed from service continue to pay their
monthly premiums, and at some time
during the five years following the
formal declaration of peace that they
convert 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 unfamiliar
with the provisions of the Act, OF 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 Secretary
of the Treasury recently issued a
ruling allowing every man eighteen
months in which he has the opportu-
nifty to reinstate his insurance after
he has allowed it to lapse because OF
non-payment of premium.
This reinstatement privilege should
be clearly understood. So long as a
man is not paying his premiums he

paid up insurance and extended term
insurance values are included.
10. 1t participates in dividends.
If the policy holder 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 s1,OO up to $1,000 in multiples
of $500. Reductions may be made in
multiples of $500 to any amount, but
from $1,000 up to $4,000 in multiples
due on the first of the month, al
though payments may be made dur
ing the calendar month.

expecting that he would take the

Both machines are badly damaged.
Mr.. Tarte is greatly worried over the
accident, but he is generally held
blameless for it.
