TO INSURE OWN
Auto Makers and Dealers Con-
slider Issuing Policies.
Number of Cars on Increase
Number of Policies Decrease.

New York, June 6.-Forced by the
increase of insurance rates during the
past few months, the automobile
manufacturers and dealers are again
turning their attention to the need for
an insurance company to care for mo-
tor cars and motor trucks, similar to
the one launched four years ago.
At the office of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce in New
York, it was stated that the loose
methods of accepting risks, over gem
erous coverage and overhead expense
on the part of the insurance COM
panies, has resulted in their requiring
rates from which the only relief lies
in the furthering of plans for mutual
companies and for dealer organiza-
tions which are now actively under
consideration.
There are some 100000 motor
vehicles in this country" said Alfred
Reeves, general manager of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
are taking out insurance because of
high rates. The moral hazard re-
ceives no consideration. A burglar
just out of jail gets the same rate as
a respectable citizen. The amounts
allowed on cars and trucks almost
encourage their being burned up or
destroyed to be reported as stolen.
According to figures given out by
131 insurance companies. the fire and
theft premiums received by them in
1920 amounted to $74,472,25O. The
losses paid amounted to SAP, 935, 74S-
Surface indications certainly point to
urgent necessity of scrutinizing this
moral hazard"

I The first decade of May in Kansas
was marked by unusually cool cloudy
weather with temperatures averaging
about 10 degrees below normal, ac-l
cording to a summary of daily reports
at 10 stations of the weather bureau,
which cover practically every county.
During the second decade the temper
allure gradually increased and by the
last decade it was averaging about 10
degrees above normal. The mean tenn
perature for the month 65.5 degrees,
was the second highest on record in
the past years. The highest temper
allure recorded was 100 degrees on the
2Sth at Oketo, Clay Center, Hanover,
Alton and Wallace, and the lowest. %
degrees, occurred at Richfield on the
I'd. Light to heavy frosts were re-.
ported from all parts of the state on
the I'd, Sd, and 4th. The percentage
of sunshine was considerable above
normal.
The average rainfall for the month
was 2.61 inches, or 1.43 inches below
normal. For the eastern division the
average was 4.21 inches, the middle
division ITO inches The eastern and
western divisions averaged slightly
under an inch below normal while the
middle division was over 200 inches
below normal. The greatest amount
recorded was 7.54 inches at Kansas

The drought which has never really
been broken over the central Section,
altho light showers have been reported
there occasionally, caused much dam
age to wheat there. The lower south
west portion was more fortunate in
having it's showers spread over the
month so that there were no pro-
longed dry spells, and wheat and other
crops there are in better shape. In
the extreme northwest quarter the de-
ficiepcy of moisture and the effects of
the late spring freezes, have injured
wheat to such an extent, that the heads
are only half filled and very short at
that The eastern portion received its
moisture in two periods, between the
5th and 10th and again from the 26th
to the close of the month. The fire.
quent rains at the end of the month
will help in saving the crops in that
section. During the wind storm of the
26th velocities of As to SO miles were
reported from all parts of the eastern
half of the state. The high winds tore
down telephone poles and trees and
collapsed buildings at several places.

The MOONLIGHT REVEL

The mystery of the May queen at
Washburn college was solved Satur-
day night when Miss Marie Moore oc-
cupied the throne in the Moonlight
ReveP' on the college campus Satur-
day night. The identity of the queen
had been kept secret until then. Miss
Moore had been chosen from a list of
seven senior girls by popular vote.
The Moonlight Revel" was the an
nual May fete given by the college Z.
w. c. A. Miss Neva Shoemaker was
chairman of the committee. Miss
Katisue Moore. girls physical director
of the college, had a large part in the
direction of the fete, particularly the
dances, and the various committees
for carrying out the fete were headed
by Miss Dorothy Jones, Miss Isabel
Whitcomb, Miss Elizabeth Green and
Miss Ruth Hawkes..
The fete was attended by about
seven hundred persons. An artificial
moon shed light upon the beautiful
scene of the fete, near the Boswell en-
trance to. the campus. Bluegrass and
pine trees formed the carpet and
background for the "revels.'' Many
beautiful dances were gracefully given
in the portraying of the fairy story of
the ''revels."

Reports to Santa Fee Indicate Yield of
Fifteen Bushels to Acre.

Wheat harvest may be expected to
commence in several sections of the
state this week, it is indicated in re-
ports from Santa Fe station agents to
J. r. Koontz, assistant traffic mana
ger for the Santa Fe. Crop reports
have been received from 100 Santa
Fee stations in the state, indicating
wide range of estimates on the prob
able yield. The general average of
the estimates is above fifteen bushels
to the acre. ns

and central portions of the state is
likely to start the harvest in those
sections at the same time as In the
southern sections of the state.
The estimate of the Santa. Fe Off
Gals on the total crop of the state has

CURRY REPLIES
TO LETTER OF WALLACE

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 49,
Replying to the letter received from
Secretary Wallace, in which the head
of the department of commerce OBJ
jected to the Curry development
board plan, Chairman Curry de-
clared that II venture to suggest
that no plan that might be con-
ceived by the mind of man would
ever meet with the unanimous ap-
prevail of all of the 81 varieties of
bureau officials who now govern
Alaska from Washington and who
hold in their absolute power the
prosperity, development and welfare
of the territory and the happiness
of its people,"
Mr.. Curry asserted, in conclusion,
that the outstanding fact regarding
Alaska is that bureaucratic govern
ment in the territory has failed.

BAD CONDITIONS IN STATES
TURNING OLDTIMERs BACK

In the opinion of C. w. Felch.
veteran travelling man who arrived
in Nenana yesterday on his annual
visit to Interior Alaska, says
many oldtime Northerners will be
coming back to Alaska during the
summer because of the unsettled
conditions in the States. Mr.. Felch
says that readjustment of conditions
on the Outside is progressing rather
slowly, with trading very much re-
stricted in virtually all lines, and
many people out of work. If con-
ditions have improved lately, the
change is not noticeable and he
does not look for much improve
ment for some time to come-not
enough improvement, at any rate,
to stop the tide of travel which
has set in toward the North. This
tide, Mr.. Felch believes, will in
crease in volume as the months
pass and that with the returning
oldtimers will come many for their
first glimpse of Alaska.
Mr.. Felch is accompanied on his
present trip by his son, Baxter,
who is paying his first visit to the
territory and enjoying the expert
ence immensely. They mushed over
the Broad Pass trail from Hurricane
Gulch and the young man feels that
the trip fully entities him to join /
the ranks Of the sourdoughs. They
witnessed numbers of "breakups" !
and several "breakdowns" along the
rapidly-vanishing trail and were very
active participants in one or two
of them, although the son declares
his dad did most of the breaking
down.
Mr.. Felch plans to 60 to Fair
banks tomorrow and, after short
stay there, will return to Nenana
and later start down river.
