Every person who takes out a

PLANS TO CODIFY
INSURANCE LAWS
Commission in Pennsylvania
Will Concentrate on
This Feature.

Z. A. Woods, OF Pittsburgh. who
is a members Of the Committee to
Revise the Insurance Laws of Penn
sylvania has made some genuine
progress. The first recommended
tions to be made will be for codifi-
cation. The report is not yet COM
plete, as there are changes being
made from week to week. As is
known the present coding contains
laws, part of which have been re-
peaIed by subsequent laws, part Of
which are practically obsolete be-
cause of conditions that do not pre-
vail, intended to be covered back
in the early part of the last CEN
tury when the laws were passed;
many laws have been declared un-
constitutional and there are some
which conflict. The important thing,
which the committee is bearing in
mind, is to place the general laws,
then the laws as to life, fire, casu-
atty, etc, together so that a lawyer,
or even a layman, can intelligently
find out what the law is.
Mr.. Woods, commenting in The
Eastern Underwater, said:
The policy of the commission is
to redraft and codify the present
laws rather than to make any
amendments. The way the insur-
ance laws of Pennsylvania are now
put up it is almost impossible TO
find any given law or to know when
you have found it whether it has
been repealed. amended or declared
unconstitutional. Further, the laws
related to different kinds of insur-
ance are all mixed up together. One
has to almost hire a lawyer to de-
termine whether a certain act ap-
plies. to life insurance companies
whether to domestic or foreign, or
to fire, or to companies in general.
The organization of the department
and general insurance laws are
hopelessly confused. II the COM
mission does nothing else than re-
draft these laws and place them
where they can be easily found,
omit laws that have been amended
or repealed, or declared unconstitu-
tional, IL would be a large thing.
Later the commission intends to
make some recommendations as to
changes of laws. including the re-
peal of some laws that were dis
covered hidden among the other
laws of the State, passed way back
in 1850, the existence of which no.
body knew anything about. But
there will be nothing in the new
code except the clarifying and codI4
flying of the laws that now stand. &"

GIVES POINTERS
FOR PROSPECTS
List Contains Many Good
Reasons Why People
Should Buy.

Without prospects there would be
no sales. and therefore it is es-
sential for the agent to have in his
work-system the means of replen-
ishing and of increasing his list
of prospects. Nearly everyone
knows the various prospect sources,
but it would be of advantage to
every representative to have down
in black and white among his
equipment a list of such sources.
which he can add to from time to
time, and which he should occa-
sionally read carefully through to
brighten the rays of his search
light. The following is far from
a complete list. but may neverthe-
less be helpful

insurance is so closely allied with
other good business interests of the
country that many risk companies
will be represented at the housing
conference to be conducted here to-
morrow and Friday under the
auspices of the Chamber of Com
merCe of the United States. The in
surance companies are particularly
close to the building and housing
problem because of the fact that a
great part of the funds of the in
surance companies is invested in
real estate.
Two insurance officials will speak
at the conference. Walter c. Stabler,
comptroller of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, of New York
City. will talk on How Can the
Necessary House Construction Best
Be Financed" and Archibald H
Woodruff, third vice president and
manager of real estate loans of the
Prudential Company of America,
Newark, n. j., will speak on Real
Estate as a Field of Investment"
Some important suggestions from
the insurance officials as to their
manner of helping in the present
situation is expected to come out at
the conference.
The insurance companies are en-
titled to two seats on the board OF
directors of the National Chamber
of Commerce. During the present
conference nominating committee
Of thirty-One will be selected. and
this committee in turn will name
the board of directors for the en-
suing year.

At that time many of the promi-
nent insurance men of the city
spoke to thousands of workers
throughout the city and pointed out
the great value of protecting their
dependents by taking out enough
life insurance.
This is Life Insurance Week. 1t
started Monday and is being pushed
all over the country. 1t will end
Saturday night, and judgisg from
the reports so far obtained Wash
ington insurance brokers and agen-
cies will show a fine total when the
weekly reports are in.
Every man engaged in the insur-
anCe business is making a strenuous
effort to write one policy a day
during the course of the week. That
is the pace set. and it is expected
that most Of the local men will
keep to 1t during the entire week.
II IS believed that the talks given
all over tn" citv on Insurance Day

for writing many policies during the
