ADDITIONAL RULINGS
ON MEASUREMENT.


A series of decisions issued by the
Director of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance with the approval of the
Secretary of the Treasury provides
more liberal conditions for reinstate-
ment of lapsed or Cancelled insurance.
The provisions of Treasury Decis-
ion No. AZ, allowing eighteen months
from the date of discharge for rein
statement upon payment of only two
months premiums on the amount Of
insurance to be reinstated, are re-
taincd That decision is liberalized,
however, by new provision that men
out of the service are permitted to re-
instatc by merely paying the two
months premiums without making a
statement as to health at any time
within three calendar months follow
ing the month of discharge.
After the three months following
t''o date of discharge have elapsed,
statement from the applicant to the
effect that he is in as good health as
at the date of discharge or at the eX-
piration of the grace period, which
over is the later date, will be required
together with a written application
for reinstatement and the tender of
two months premiums on the amount
of insurance he wishes to reinstate.
In order to give all former service
men whose insurance has lapsed or
been cancelled, fair chance to rein
state their insurance, including men
who have been out of the service IS
months or more, and who are there
fore barred from reinstatement I'M
der the former ruling, a special blan-
ket ruling is made which allows all
ex-se1vice men to reinstate their in
surance before December 81, 1919,
provided that each applicant is in
as good health as at the date of dis
charge or at expiration of the grace
period, whichever is the later date,
and so states in his application. Of
course it is necessary that he tender
the two months premiums on the
amount of insurance he wishes to re-
instate.
Service men who reinstated their
insurance by payment of all back
premiums prior to July 25, 1919, when
the decision requiring payment of
only two months premiums went into
effect, upon written application to the
Bureau may have any premiums paid
in excess of two applied toward the
payment of future premiums. For
example, if after policy had lapsed
for six months, man reinstated and
paid six months premiums instead of
two, he may secure credit for four
months premiums.
The provisions for reinstatement do
not protect a man until he actually
reinstates. If he waits he may not
be in as good health as he was at the
time of discharge and consequently
may not be able to secure reinstate-
ment.
Don't put off reinstatement. Do it

Hard freezes in the Yakima and
Spokane districts occasioned some loss
but the damage is not as heavy as
early predictions would indicate. Late
reports from the newer commercial
districts indicate that the production
is running considerably above former

There exists at least one place In
the world where men consider 1t below
their dignity to notice women at all,
much less make overtures Of marriage.
Consequently the proposing is left to
the women. When New Guinea wom-
an falls in love with a man she sends
a piece of string TO his sister, or. If
he has no sister to his mother or to
another of his lady relatives. Then the
lady who receives the string tells the
favored man that the particular wom-
an is in love with him. No counting
follows. however. for IL is considered
beneath the dignity of New Guinea
man TO waste his time in such a pur-
suit. If the man thinks that he would
like 10 wed the lady, he meets her
alone, and they decide whether to mar
nv or drop the idea.

OREGON TREES DISEASED
Douglas FRS Along Columbia Riv-
er Highway Affected by Wind

Portland Oregonian: Fir trees
along the Columbia river highway,
which are turning brown, as though
scared by fire, according to ioresters
OF the United States forest service,
are not dying, but are merely sui
fering from spring disease some
thing like the grip, which every
spring or two attacks Douglas fir
growing where it is subject to the
dry, cold east winds, which sweep
down the Columbia river gorge.
Many tourists OF the highway
have noticed the brown tint to the
giant firS and have concluded that
the beauty of the drive was about TO
be marred by dead and dying trees.
The diseased trees are especially
noticeable in the vicinity OF Crown
Point. The trees OF the same va
riety farther up the gorge are so
accustomed to these dry, cold winds
that they do not suffer any longer
and are immune from the disease.
The east side OF the trees, accord
ing TO the foresterS, are affected the
most because it is that side which
is exposed to the parching breezes.
Close examination OF the trees. they
say, will show that it is merely the
tips OF the branches that are brown
ed. The brown needles will drop off
and it is said that in six weeks evil
dence OF the disease will have pass
ed and the trees will be as green as
ever.
This rather unique local disease of
the Douglas fir was recently named
"parch blight" by Thornton T. Mum

six mile, west OF Tulsa. The home
was founded about ten years ago
by Charles Page, one OF Tulsa's 81
varieties OF oil millionaires,

Some oil millionaires spend their
money to build skyscrapcrs and do
other things that are obvious. Mr..
Page is spending his to do some
thing different. There is nothing
like the Sand Springs Home any

exactly expresses it.

Y. M. C. A. INDIAN ON
 RHINE WITH TANKS

CoBLENz, April 5.-Miss Anne Ross, descendant of Cherokee war rior, who has followed the doughboy trail from Paris right up into Ger many, serving as Y. M. c. A. enter. tainer, is not very much impressed with the boche "sunerwarrior'' as she finds him in his native haunts. ''Too fat" is her frequent comment on the Coblenz residents.
 Miss Ross, or Princess Galilohi, to use her Indian name, has just been assigned to Coblenz as an entertainer. When she dances she furnishes her own accompaniment with a tom-tom or gourd rattle and chants teh tunes to which the Cherokees have danced for generations She finds that the doughboys like the Indian music and dance best of all. Even New York doughboy, raised on Broadway" has to admit that he has seen something new in the way of dance when the Cherokee maid takes the stage at one of the Y. M. c. A. shows.
