leave Washington tomorrow with a
staff OF assistants drawn from Commls-

All of them have records as efficient
officers and some have been connected
with the Internal Revenue service as in
spectors or in other capacities In precea-
ing years.
Commissioner Haynes expects to get
active cooperation from the force of
revenue agents now stationed in Florida.
He also win be aided by the regular
staffs OF immigration and customs
agents at Florida ports.
The Coast Guard has only limited
number of vessels and not more than one

In lis general observations. and IN

side or the housing question
"One of the chief causes leadiog to
the housing shortage has been the with

Life Insurance Company, which has for
some years past been the main support

time in its history, for which your COM
mittee regards them as deserving of se-
we're condemnation.
THE total investments of the Mutual
Life In real estate mortgages al the ED
OF 1912 were Sl39.691 600 At the end
of 1919 they were sf00.754, 900
For the year 1912 the investments OF
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany in real estate mortgages were
1887. 394 900. At the end of 1919 they
were S74l, $4,000.
Every one OF the large New York
life insurance companies other than the
Mutual Life increased its loans during
that period.
For the purpose OF determining upon
the legislation that win be necessary in
the way of readjusting and limiting the
investments of insurance companies,
your committee caused an exhaustive
and elaborate survey to be made of all
che Investment transactions of the prin-
cipal insurance companies OF all classes
in the United States. covering a period
or fourteen years--from 1906 10 1919,
both inclusive-year by year. and oS
the State banks and trust compa nies,
covering the same period.
This was accomplished through ex-
pert accountants who spent upward OF
aid at times of as many as fifty or
more assistant accountants. All the data
upon which the conclusions OF the ac-
countants were based were secured from
official sources, including the annual re-
ports OF the superintendents of insurance
and Of banks. respectively, of the State
of New York, and the responses re-
ceived to the questionnaires and supple
mentary letters sent by the committee
in the autumn OF 1920 to the insurance
companies and the banking institutions
doing business in the state of New
York.
1T would have been impossible and
prohibitive in the way of tine and ex-
pense to have extended this investiga-
ton to every insurance company Of
every class doing business throughout
the United States. Il was accordingly
decided to gather the data OF all the
life insurance companies in New York
and other States. but as. TO the other
classes OF insurance companies to select
only the most important ones"

A Thirty Years War.

I'm the past we have not escaped.
The records OF the United states Public
Health Service show that in 1856 lcpers
wero so common In New Orleans that
they had TO be segregated In a lcpro-
aarirm. the kind OF institution that
Uncle Sam Is establishing at tremend-
Gus expense In Louisiana. In 1864. 2
per cent. OF the population OF the Ha-
waiiar Islands were lepers. In 1890
California had 10 establish leprossr-
jun, and Louisiana and Massachusetts
followed suit. As / said. there may BE-
1900 in the country to-day. Foci Of the
disease exist on the Pacific Coast. in
the Northwest. in the Gulf region and
along the Atlantic Coast.
More than thirty years ago the
United States Government began 70 take
steps TO prevent lepers from coming to
this country. Protection against the
disease is made very difficult by the fact
that icprosy Is found In very large
portion OF the habitable globe. ranging
from Russia and Iceland 70 India and
America. Nine lepers were turned back

"In 1917 the United States Govern
ment took steps to establish national

strongly did the various States object,
that IL was not until four years later,
1921, that the Federal Government got
the consent Of Louisiana and acquired
the state leper home there. Part of this
home has been remodeled and work on
the other necessary alterations n pro-
ceeding. The gloomy outlook for lepers
has recently been tinged with hope by
the discovery OF mode OF treatment
involving the use or chauimoogra oil,
which for 200 years has been reputed
TO be OF benehcent effect in the treat
