Howard Hanson Declares Government
Will Save Him About $50 Year ON :
$1,000 Old-Time Policy on Life.

Howard Hanson. Depot Brigade, was
Just leaving camp recently with his
discharge in his pocket, when some
body asked him about the paper
which he carried SO carefully in his
hand.
"Oh, that's my insurance policy L
think more of that than l do of my
discharge / expect to save hundreds
of dollars through this little piece of
paper"
The point that pleased Hanson was
that the government had told him
that il he retained the policy of $10.-
600, or any part of 1t. he could
convert this within five years into
government policy on ordinary life.
twenty payment or endowment and
save a big sum on the annual pre-
MUM, as compared with what he
would have to pay to a regular old
line life insurance company.
"On a twenty-payment life policy
costing about $50 a thousand 1 calcu-
late to save about So to $40 per thou
sand, so that If l carry a $1,000 policy
would be saving about $50 a year,
which would amount to $1,000 in
twenty years. exclusive of the COM
pound interest
That Is pretty easy figuring when
one compares the cost Of the govern
ment's insurance plan with that of
the private companies. There will be
no solicitors or big advertising bills

ATHLETIC NIGHT
AT BASE HOSPITAL "Y"

When Sergt. Mouldin, better known
as Battling Mouldin" of Philadel-
phia. and Clifton Johnson. light
weight champion of Company D Of
the Buffalo Division, Joined hands in
the center Of the ring at base hos
pital "Y" Thursday night 1t was
known that something was going to
happen; and it did. For three rounds
these veterans at the game mixed it
UP in lively fashion. which not only
brought cheers from the audience,
but gave evidence Of their skill and
mastery of the pugilistic game.
The bout was scarcely finished
before there was a thrilling game Of
lucky strike going on. Many blind
folded contestants vainly fought the
air In an endeavor to touch a prize,
while others less inclined to wander
about made the lucky strike and be-
came possessor of a prize.
Then followed an d-fashioned po-
tatO race. in which small rubber balls
and a fork were used. There were
about twenty entries in the race, but
by the process of elimination there
were but two left for the finals, in
which Lutz in an exciting finish came
out the victor. y
Next in order came the pie-eating
contest. There were many appli-
cants, but only those of marked abil-
ity along the eating line were chosen
to compete. Joe Farkas of pie eating
fame doomed up as champion, as
did also Gustino Mesenelli, the spa
ghetti wonder: Thornton, the Ken

Miller, "the eating wonder"
When these champions of the eat
ing game were lined up and the sig
nal TO go was given they went at it;
Mesenell, partly missing his mouth,
was pie from ear to ear; Joe Farkas
choked his engine down running in
high gear; Thornton crammed his pie
into his mouth, but, his elevator re-
load; but Miller's machinery was in
perfect working condition. and 1t took
him but a short time to get his pie
through the locks, after which. with
some coaxing from the side lines, he
managed to whistle.
Then came the sensational basket
ball game between SolOmons Regulars
and Jack Kronthafs speedy quintet.
The game started out with rush.

away with the game. Time after
time Capt. Solomon found the basket
for an easy goal. in spite of the close
guarding of the Kronthal guards.
Capt. Kronthal was the shining fig

Finds Brothers Grave.

Friends of Capt. John D.
Mock of headquarters COM
pany. 312th F. A, 18th Division.
will be pleased to learn that he
has succeeded in finding the
grave of his brother, Ivan
Mock, the famous French For
eign Legioner. who was killed
about year ago.
Capt. Mock received the news
of his brothers death while
his regiment was still in Meade.
and he started a search for
the grave shortly after he
reached France, in July. 1t
was not an easy task, consid-
ering the thousands that were
killed in the French service.
His brother was a soldier Of :
fortune and was in South
America when the great war
started. He was first wounded
and finally received the shot
which ended his noble career.
Capt. Mock was a lieutenant
when the artillery left Meade.
He was associated in Baltimore
with Representative Carville ID.
Benson in the practice OF law.

The present policy is term" pol

the next FIVE years by paying a small

The government figures show that
about 100000 men in the Army and

the 100000 men to get their insur-
ance protection for the rest of their

boys are to prove worthy of your past.
Over there in the trenches we all
developed the same habit of mind. We
became fatalistic. 'C'est la guerre,' We
said, and took life as 1T came. That
was all right over in France, but We
must remember with that splendid
French password that other one, which
is equally, true. La guerre est inie'."

rough war, boys. l realized that two

'Xou must realize the war is over and

ahead OF You. The world gives You
what you are worth and you showed
over in France what that was. You
can show 1t again by taking hold. You've

charge of each district considering
the different grade schools as a

of children which will take place at
each of these scnools next Monday
and Wednesday afternoons at two
O'Clock. At that time doctor will
be stationed at each school to make
the examination.

while Jack couldn't figure out
why his soldiers were deserving
him, especially after their great
victory. He didn't think the SOL
diers in the fort would desert so
quickly either. He was puzzled to
know what became OF the soldiers
and why they had left, until he hap
pened to climb out on the edge of
the fort, from which point he could
see the hospital.
And what do you suppose he saw
there?
Well, sir, every one of the sol
diers who had turned up missing.
They hadn't gone there for their
wounds either. They had seen
what Jack had failed to discover,
and that was that Ladydear and
Jane and Jeanne had quit their
hospital duties altogether and were
serving delightfully."- cool lemonade
and cake to the once-upon-a-time
soldiers. 1t didn't make any differ
ence whether the soldiers had
fought with the enemy or with
Jacks army either Their appetites
were about the same.
After everybody had drunk and
eaten his fill. Captain Brave told
the boys all about his airplane and
the adventures that Jack and Jane
had had since they left home.
AS none Of the boys ever had a
chance to ride in an airplane the
captain made them doubly happy
by taking them for short ride in
his giant plane.
To Jack and Jane 1t was one Of
the most pleasant days they had
had in their trip.

When Jack and his little army
reached the alley his scout met
them and led them in between
houses and around an open field
until they came to building d.
rectly back of the fort.
The building was deserted, SO
Jack told some of the soldiers to
sneak quietly into the building and
station themselves under the win
dows 80 that when he gave the
signal they could bob up and fire
away with their rifles at the fort.
The rest of the army slipped
quietly around the corners of the
house and crawled along on their
stomach until they were right up
under the fort. Not a single soul
in the fort discovered them. The
enemy was firing now and then at
the three boys whom Jack had left
to mislead them. The boys in the
fort were sure that Jacks men
could never take the fort, and even
believed that he had given UP the
attempt.
When all was in readiness Jack
gave the signal for the attack by
waving his cap. Yelling and holler-
ing at the tops Of their voices his
men bobbed up from everywhere it
seemed to the boys in the fort. His
soldiers fred their guns from the
windows of the building and from
the ground below. One of the boys
in the vacant building found an i'm.
mense pasteboard box. 1t was as
big as a trunk. Laughing to him
self he carried the box to the win
dow and heaved it into the center
of the fort below. 1t landed right
in the midst of the enemy. OF
