The internal revenue collector 1scfl to get his heaviest revenue from Peo ria This revenue amounted to some thing over $35 100000 a year. He ad mits having opposed the coming of prohibition but said recently, 'I fought you hard but now In with you. The change in industries has helped and not hurt Peoria" Today 1000 more homes are needed to house the busy people of Peoria, for the new industries require many more en- ployees than were formerly in de- mand
 STATE GRANGE URGES PROHIBI-
 TION ENFORCEMENT LAWS
 At the closing session of it's annual meeting, the Massachusetts State Grange, according to the Christian Science Monitor, acting upon the recommendation of Harry E. Gardner, state lecturer, urged concurrent legis- lation by the state to conform ito the letter and spirit of the national pro- hibition law"
 c. Palmer Chapman, master of the Rhode Island State Grange, asked that order to stand four square against every attempt to restore the curse of the liquor traffic" and to demand the passage of competent liquor enforce ment legislation at the coming ses- sion of the general assembly.
 WHAT THE SOLDIERS THOUGHT The eighteenth Amendment was passed, not after the soldiers had left
 the country as the misinformed say, but when only 100000 had gone. The ! majority vote in favor of prohibition
 in Ohio was 25,O00. In a subsequent
 vote taken after the soldiers return | that vote was augmented to 100000! Evidently the soldier vote would have
 meant something, just as the vets
 claimed. It would unquestionably
 have meant a more overwhelming
 victory for prohibition.
 Have you heard of the "Service | Star" window card? It is one of 1 the schemes of the women to mobilize [ sentiment for law observance. In a ] few weeks you will see in hundreds 1 of windows one of these cards: gleam-

 SERVE AMERICA! SUPPORT THE | CONSTITUTION" It is hoped that
 this service star, shining out from store and office and home, will help light the way to a new and better era
 of law observance.
 Bishop Thomas Nicholson in a l speech the other day said,-"All we
 prOhibitiOniSts ask is to have you give the facts a fair chance and unpreju- l diced consideration"

pROHIR1TION POINTERS
ITEMS FROM THE WOMAN'S CHRIS THAN TEMPERANCE UNION EDITOR
BOOSE BONUS NOT DESIRED OR
 DESIRABLE .

Concerning the much discussed sol diers bonus, Miss Anna A. Gordon, national president of the w c. T. U., has authorized the following state ment:
 The Woman's Christian Temperance Union does not believe the Congress will nullify the constitution of the United States by permitting the man. ufacture and sale of intoxicating wine and beer in order that tax imposed upon these beverages may furnish a bonus for our soldiers. We have too much faith in the splendid men of the American Expeditionary Forces to believe they would accept "a bonus raised by such method. We believe they would resent such method. We believe they would re- sent such an extraordinary and il- logical proposition. We have too much faith in the 67th Congress to believe it would sanction a traitorOus deed by Uncle Sam in order to find a bonus for the men whose supreme pa triOtism crowns our cOuntry's history.
 The Woman's Christian Temperance Union, organized nationally and in every state, vigorously protests dSdIHSI llG SuSS6SIlOu OL DOOSG fund. To enact such a measure would mean economic loss and open the way to vast increase in human suf- fering, degradation, disease and death. Our veterans deserve higher and ho- Her recognition of their magnificent service. Within a few weeks our or ganiZatiOn has given to the American Legion Commander, Colonel HanfOrd MacNider, a check for $4,0O0-the bal ! ance of it's War Patriotic Fund-to be applied to the relief of permanent ly disabled World-War Veterans.
 The WOman's Christian Union be- lieves bonus for the soldiers can be financed without calling upon John BarleycOrn. Let it be furnished from the stable resources of our great Re public.
 In Peoria, H., formerly a great dis tillery center, hank clearings have increased $15,000,OOO since prohibition The thirteen distilleries in and near Peoria, are now used for other pur- poses, chiefly the manufacture of food products, and the three breweries there have also gone into other busi- nesses.

Dc You Do It? If So. why7

Ever see man arise to leave a street car. then turn around and care fully feel all his pockets and give a final glance toward his seat to see that he has not dropped anything there? That is the sign of either careful or an experienced man. Many street car riders never leave a seat without carefully examining the spot where they had been sitting. Some do it because the habit has grown on them. Then there is another class of travellers who always do it. They are the ones who remember a sad expert ence when they left some valuable heirloom in a train and never recov- cred it; or when a purchase for the wife had heen left on the seat.-New York Sup

From time inmemorial the apple has been blamed for heinz the cause of mans downfall in the garden of Eden We have even gone So far as to call our Adams apple ny that name In memory of the incident, As matter of fact. the word apple does not ap- pear in that part of Genesis treating with the garden, of Eden. the fruit of the tree" being the words always used. The falIacy arose from the fact that the word apple has in many lan- guages the general meaning of fruit. and that before an English translation of the Bible was permitted the story was incorrectly spread by ignorant churehmen, and thus took root too deeply to be eradicated.

THE AETNA LIFE

Tho annual statement of the Aetna Life Insurance Company, and it's atlil lated companies-tha Aetna Casualty & Surety O. and the Automobile 4l.- surance Co., of Hartford-appears in the advertising pages of today. Those men and women all over the country who are fortunate enough to te policy holders in this great organization and their number runs to the hun dreds of thousands-cOuld hardly escape a feeling of extreme satisfac- tion as they study the figures pre- sented by President Bulkeley which emphasize what everyone Knew all ready that the Aetna Life is not only one of the largest insurance companies in the world but also one of the most substantial as well as conservatively managed business or ganizations in existance.
 How well the policy holders are protected against any possible dan ger of loss is shown in many ways, one of the most striking l cling the l great sum set aside last year as an | increase to the surplus to protect the interests of policy holders. $3- 252, ,1O5, making the total for such pro- 1 tections in the Aetna Life alone Oi over twenty-two and a quarter mil lion. The total surplus of the af- l filiated Aetna companies is now $31, ,2O1 ,979.
 The total assets of the companies are given as $219,147,4 ,414, and the cash income during the past veal was $S8,432,5O5.
 ] Taking the Life business alone il is to te noted that during 1921 the increase in the number of policies issued was 13,86O and the increase in life insurance in force amounted 1 to $48, ,41r,056. That means that new insurance issued amounted to $358 446, ,98O and that the life insurance paid for during the year reached the 1 astonishing sum of $324,617 ,774 making the total life insurance 1T force at the beginning of the pres ent year, $1,204, ,OOO,397.
 Taking in money, however, is only one of the two important things the company does. During 1921 it paid in claims nearly twenty nine millions. Since it was organized seventy-twO years ago it has paiC out for this purpose, $424, 4,248,O11 and during 1921 it paid $28,900,62 In that connection it is also interest ing to note that what is known as the mortality experience-the per centage of actual death claims com pared to the expected number OI deaths based upon the mortality ex pectatiOn tables used by all insur' ance cOmpanies-has been unusual ly low.
 The statements of the two affiliated companies are no less satisfactory The casualty and Surety Company shows assets of $15, 5,458,865. Its in come for the year was '$12,374,O7O The Automobile Company has assets of $11,97O,5O2 with it's income fCl 1921, $11 ,113, ,636. =. :,
 In "The COurant" of a recent Sun day there was shown in the artgravurt section an airplane view of the six teen-acre tract of land on Pennington l avenue where the Aetna Life is short Iy to build it's new home, which will i be a great addition to the beauty Oi our city just as the company has been and will continue to be one of the l finest examples of our business organ izations in which we have every right to take the highest pride and which has aided in making Hartford known as one of the great insurance CenterS of the world-Hartford Courant.
