A MESSAGE TO coLoRED
FORMER SERVIcEMEN

(By Lieut.. J. Williams Clifford, Spe-
cial Representative Colored Soldiers
and Sailors War Risk Bureau,
Washington, D. C.
Now that the insurance business in
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance is
current, assurance is made that col.
ored former servicemen, or their rela.
tives and friends who wrote to this
office, will receive prompt and definite
replies.
1t is supposed that the colored vet
Grams Of the recent war who carried
government life insurance while in
the service may reinstate the same
by forwarding two monthly premiums
and a satisfactory statement to the
effect that they are in as good health
as they were at the time of their dis
charge from the service.
This may be done at any time with
in eighteen months from the date of
discharge, but since a man should
never be without life insurance pro-
lection, it is advisable for former serv-
icemen to reclaim their valuable gov
eminent life insurance at once.
A new law has made government
life insurance exceptionally attractive
by enlarging the list of permitted
beneficiaries to include parent, grand
parent, step-parent, parent through
adoption, wife, or husband, child,
grandchild, step-child, adopted child,
brother, sister, half-brother, brother
through adoption, sister through adop-
tion, step-brother, step-sister, uncle,
aunt, nephew, niece, brother-in-law,
sister-in-law, person who has stood
in the relation of parent to the in
sured for period of one year or
more prior to the insured's enlistment
or induction, the children of such par
ent; parent, grandparent, step-parent,
or parent through adoption of the in
sured's wife or husband.
1t is also supposed that the new
law which permits lump sum pay
ments at the option of the insured or
converted policies (ordinary life,
twenty-payment life, thirty payment
life, twenty-year endowment, thirty
year endowment, and endowment ma
turing at the age of 62) will greatly
increase the number of conversions
into the permanent forms of govern
ment life insurance
Any additional information desired
by colored veterans of the world war
concerning insurance compensation,
allotment and allowance, may be
promptly obtained by directing com
munications to Lieut.. ]. Williams

ance, Washington, D. c.

CITY PURPLE DREAMS

but the fellow still holding her tight
ened his grip. Cateras' thin lips
smiled, and he bowed, hat in hand,
hatefully polite.
go ahead with the light, Silva; not
too fast, my man; the room beyond the
senor's. Now, Merodez, release the
girl.
"Ah, so you can stand alone, senior
ita; that is well. Step in here, ahead
of me, and follow the lantern-there
is nothing to fear"
She hesitated, and the smile on the
Mexican's lips changed into a cruel
grin.
"Shall I make you again?"
mo, senor."
"Then you will do as I bid"
Eyes, senior; cannot resist"
The passage was clean and dry, and
seemed to lead directly back into the
cliff. The faint light revealed the side
walls and low roof, and the girl, again
partially mistress of herself, recog-
nized the nature of the rock to be lime
stone.
Her view was limited to the slight
radius illumined by the lantern, and
even within that small area, her own
shadow, and those of the three men,
helped render everything indistinct.
They had turned a sharp corner, and
advanced few feet beyond when the
man with the lantern stopped sudden
ly, and held it up to permit the light to
stream full on the exposed wall to the
right. Another of these odd slits in the
rock was visible here, and the girl was
able to perceive more clearly its nature
beyond question 1t was an artificial
opening leading into a space on the
farther side of the wall. Cateras push
ed past the girl, his body interfering
with her view, and bent down, fum-
bling along the rock surface.
'Hold the light closer" he command
ed. "Aye, that's it. 'Tis some trick
to find the thing All now have it."
1t seemed like a bit of wood, so re-
sembling the color of the rock as to
be practically imperceptible to the eye
in that dim light-a bit of wood which
slid back to reveal a heavy iron bolt,
shot firmly into the stone. This the
Mexican forced back and an opening
yawned in the side wall, the rays of
the lantern revealing the interior of a
black cave. Cateras stepped within,
Bring the woman" he commanded
shortly, "and you, Merodez, see first
to the light"
Silva thrust her forward, his grip
40 light one, while the other struck a
match and applied it TO the wick of
lamp occupying bracket beside the
doorway. AS this caught the full in
terror was revealed beneath the -sickly
glow, cell-like place, although of a
fair size, unfurnished except for
rude bench, and one three-legged stool,
the floor Of stone, and the sides and
roof apparently of the same solid struc-
ture. 1t was gloomy, bare, horrible
in its dreariness-a yeritable grave.
The girl covered her face with her
hands, appalled, at the sight, unnerved
at the thought Of being left alone in
such place. Cateras saw the move
ment, and laughed, gazing about care
lessly.
"Some boudoir, senorita," he said
meaningly. "Well, we will see what

can be done for you later. Perhaps
a few hours in such hole may work
miracle. When 1 come again you
will be GLAD to see even me. Til leave
you to think it over; then, I'll come
back for an answer. Until then, senor-
ita, adios."
The fellow lifted his hat, and STEP
ped back into the passage, his manner
insolent. She remained motionless,
contempt in her eyes, but in truth
hopeless and crushed. Silva closed the
door silently, although her ears caught
the click of the bolt when it was shot
home.
No sound of retreating footsteps
reached her through the thick wall.
The stiffness of her prison seemed
to strike her like a blow. For a mo-
ment she stood staring at the bare
wall, her lips parted, her limbs trem-
bling from the reaction of excitement;
then she stepped forward, and felt
along the smooth surface of rock
The door fitted so closely she could
not even determine its exact outlines.
Baffied, her glance wandered about
the cell, seeking vainly for any sign
Of weakness, and then, giving way ut
terly to her despair, the girl flung her.

ANOTHER REASON

Another reason why the lumber yards should be
removed from their present location, in the very
heart OF the city, is the menace they are on account
OF the danger of fire from the stationary steam en-
CINE supplying power to the planning machines Chips
and shavngs from the planners and other wood work
ing machines are the fuel used; and usually there
is big pile OF very mflamable stuff of that descrip
ton right close to the door of the frebox Some
time or another that pile Of inflamble stuff is like
ly to catch fire, endangerng deal of valuable prop
erty upon all sides.

A GROWING NOMINEE

The political campaign of 1920 is not fairly in.
augurated. It is but month since the two chief
tickets were placed in the field, and the platforms
framed upon which those two parties ask public con-
fidence and choice. 1t was but last week that the
speech Of acceptance of the Republican nominee was
uttered at the ceremony of formal notification of the
nominee; and that of the Democratic nominee will
not be delivered until next week. at like ceremony.
Yet already it is that the Democratic candidate
is growing in the estimation Of The people and the
Republican candidate is making no Roadway what
ever.
In contrasting the records of the two one
gathers Immediately the reason for the difference il

James S. Baldwin, manager of Gov
Lowden's campaign, said that the gov
ernor's forces had accomplished just
what they set out to do in the campaign
that was to prevent some other candi-
date winning votes of Lowden supporters.

create a large and effective organization,

Baldwin
I'VE are hearing from all parts OF the
state now, and where Gov. Lowden is
not first choice he is second, and the
same thing is true throughout the coun-
tiy."
Mr.. Swain received hundreds of tele-
grams from johnson men in the state,
congratulating him on the showing made
by Senator Johnson's organization in
the face Of money shortage, which kept
workers continually embarrassed, and
which limited the working force much

In the secretary of states Office 1t was
said that the task Of ascertainlng the
actual count on the vote for presidential
candidates could be accomplished easily
in time for an accurate report to be
made to the convention.

corning the failure of all presidential

Delegates to the state convention are
officially certified by counties so tardi-
ness Of the state canvass will have no
effect on the seating procedure.
Wood, Lowden and Harding headquar-
tiers here will be kept open until the
convention closes.
