BUY INSURANCE
AS NEVER BEFORE

New York. December 9.-The Amer
lean people are buying s9.3o0.o0o, 900
of new life insurance this year, ac-
cording to the reports of 1873 COM
panies, submitted at the sixteenth an
nual convention OF the Association of
Life Insurance Presidents here this
afternoon. This is 100000, 600 more
than was bought in 1921. This in
crease is regarded by the leaders of
the convention as rejecting improved
business and economic conditions
generally throughout the country for
the current year.
The, new life insurance this year
will show an increase of nearly per
cent over the production of 1921 and
will place the total old line life in
surance in force on American lives at
the end of 1922 well beyond $4,000

This survey of the new business
produced in the United States this
year was presented to the convention
by Frank H. Davis, second vice presi-
dent of the Equitable Life Assurance

recently by the Board ef Social Well
fare.
This law, which was enacted a
year ago to remain in force until
the end of 1923, has been attacked
by many interests as being respon-
sible for the increases in the cost of
living, but efforts to have it rescind-
ed have failed.
The board in it's report stated 1t
believed the law was responsible for
much of this increase, but that 1t
contained many advantages for the
workmen which more than offset
this disadvantage.
