THE INSURANCE
THAT LAPSED

A World War veteran died at the
age of twenty-six in Middle Western
city a month ago leaving his widow
and baby son to face the world with
out funds. He had permitted his War
Risk Insurance policy to lapse several
month before his death and he never
renewed it.
The most poignant fact about this
tragedy is the failure of the ex-ser-
vice man to reinstate his insurance be-
fore his fatal illness and thus insure
his family an estate of $4,000 which
was the amount of the policy upon
which he had paid premiums during
the war.
He had been seriously i'll for year,
suffering from disease whose ear
lier symptoms had developed during
his eighteen months in France. The
regulation governing both War Risk
term insurance and converted insur-
ance provide that if a person is suf-
fering with disease or injury incur
red in or aggravated by active mill
tary or naval service during the World
War, he may reinstate his policy pro-
vided that he is not totally and per-
manently disabled, by the payment of
all premiums in arrears, together with
interest at the rate of per cent per
year compounded annually from the
due date of each premium.
This provision, remember, applies to
men who are suffering from disease
or injury-men who would be refused
new policies or reinstatements of tern
or converted insurance may not be
made after a man is totally and per-
manently disabled. Men in good health
are not required to pay up all back
premiums-they need only pay prem
iums covering two months to have
their insurance reinstated.
Ordinary prudence dictates the ne
cessity of every ex-service man know
ing just what his government insur-
ance rights are. Six hundred thousand
veterans are now carrying government
policies. How many of the remaining
100000 were carrying policies but let
them lapse, are familiar with their own
rights?
! If any ex-service man has permitted
his insurance to lapse, he should i'm
mediately get in touch with the Ser
vice Officer of his Legion Post or
write direct to the U. S. Veterans Blu
reau, C. L. Hubbard, District Mana
ger, Minneapolis, Mimi, and find out
just the conditions on which his in
surance can be reinstated.

ditor's office had issued 1851 resident
hunting licenses and one nonresident
license. Last year at the end of the
season 1851 licenses had been issued
but County Auditor C. w. Nelson
states that indications are that licens-
es issued this year will exceed the
1921 number as they expect to issue
three or four hundred more before the
season ends.

enough, if they ever drive over them,
and why anyone should be allowed to
tear them up in the manner described
is beyond our comprehension. This
same dealer, when riding around the
city in his car, undoubtedly curses
the city administration and the street
commissioner for the roughness of our
streets-but during business hours he
contributes his "bit" toward making
them rougher. A little more exercis-

of residents will make the work of the
street commissioner easier and Will

Some of the favoss granted to Ameri-

through, will start discriminatory prac.
tees by other Governments whose ma
tions own much shipping. An ocean
rate war Is one of the possibilities. But
the subsidy plan does not invite as mucl,
i'll feeling as did the Jones bill with the
many Determinations in favor of
American vessels which 1t provided for.
The bill when 1t IL introduced will
start vast controversy. Everybody
and soldiers for example, will fall afoul
OF this proposed subsidy. Representa-
tives in Congress Of coast States which
have shipping interests will favor the
Harding plan. But the interior Of the
country has always been cold to the
idea Of subsidies for shipping.
It will be argued that the Govern.
ment is proposing to sell its ships in
the worst possible market and arrang.
ing a bonus on the basis Of a depres.
sion in the shipping industry. Op.
ponents of the bill will show enormous
profits to ship owners buying now and
receiving this Government aid as soon
as the lean years are passed. And the
legislative jam. makes any debateabc
proposal doubtful.
