FACTS ABOUT WAR
RISK INSURANCE
Provision Fixed So DISCHARGED Ser
vice Men Are Permitted To Re-
1nstate.

To relieve any confusion that may
exist in the minds Of former service
men on account Of the special provis-
ion of lapsed War Term Insurance
which authorized reinstatement up to
December 81, 1919, regardless of date
of discharge, announcement is made
by Director R. G. Cholmeley-Jones of
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
that the provisions for reinstatement
of lapsed Or Cancelled insurance, with
in 1S months from date of discharge,
upon payment of only two months
premiums on the amount of insurance
to be reinstated, provided the insured
is in as good health as at the date of
discharge or expiration of the grace
period which ever is the later date,
and so states in his application, still
hold good.
The provision that discharged ser
vice men are permitted to reinstate
at any time within three calendar
months following the month of dis
charge by merely paying the two
premiums, without making a
formal application or a statement as
to health is also still in force,
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
low!
Mr.. E. L. Wilmington Of the local
Y. M. C. A. has received considerable
literature along this line and will be
glad to confer with any Of the ex-sol-
diers on the matter.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER.
(From J. F. Clark & Co.,
hy Abe Silyer)

Liverpool after being about 20 low
er than due, scored sharp advance
which was foreshadowed on the report
on the economic situation of the Man
chester Guardian, in consequence Of
the practical embargo on Importation
This authority adds to yesterdays
statement that spinners hold about
three weeks supply outside Of the Liv-
erpool stock of 100000 bales and
England seems in a position to pur-
sue awaiting policy.
Final spot reports yesterday from
the belt indicated an easier tendency
and there is apprehension of the un-
favorable export situation directing
pressure from the actual on the con-
tract markets. The advance in the
exchange is due also to the fact that
certain sources only take foreign bills
for collection. Spot people report the
market very quiet with foreign de-
mand absent and trading views lower.

ADOPTS THE U.S..
MODE OF DANCING
The Prince of Wales Copies Fox Trot
and Rcbber Dances From
America.
Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 6-"Robber' or
paul Jones" dances are being intro
duced in some West End clubs and
dancing halls since the Prince of
Wales returned from the United
States where he gave this form of
dance royal approval by waltzing,
one-stepping and fox-trotting with no
less than fifty partners at one ball.
AS the name indicates, in "robber"
dances male members of the party
who happen to be without partners
are privileged to "cut in" on any of
the more fortunate men who have
partners.
On England it has been the custom
for dancers to have not more than
three or four partners during an even
ing-and more frequently only one.
But Londoners are trying out the
American idea and seem to like it.

WOUNDED FRENCH
HOLD CONVENTION
Men With Copper Masks Hold Their
First Annual Convention at the Val
de Grace Military Hospital, Paris.
Associated Press

PARIS, Feb. 6-The Society of the
Men with the Copper Masks" has just
held it's first annual convention at the
Val de Grace Military Hospital, Pari-
is. The society consists of French
soldiers, suffering from facial woun-
DIS, who have been provided with set
of new features by the American Red
Cross.
The most successful address was
made by a woman's hair-dresser who
lost his nose through a shell explo-
sion. AS he told his comrades in a
speech: without my nose my job was
gone, for how could noseless colt
feur hope to please women custom
ers? Already melancholy had marked
me for it's own, when the mask ex-
pert took my case in hand, and so
successfully that I am now doing a
rushing business in my old trade"
These American portrait Masks -
which are the only ones in France.
are made of light weight copper plate,
enammelled in flesh tints. They con-
ceal facial scars and hide the absence
of missing features. They are an ad-
aption of the mask invented by Cap
tain Derwent Wood of the British Ar
nv. The work owes its origin to Mrs.
MAYNARD Ladd of Boston, who devis-
ed the American mask, and to Miss
Marie Brent, of Columbus, O., who
took charge of the portrait mask
studio" Miss Brent recently marrl-
ed Despreaux, director of one OF the
most important libraries in Paris.
