1000, 600 Lives in u. S.
Covered by Insurance

approximately 100000 individuals
arc now life insurance policyholders.
according to four separate statistical
surveys made recently by the Associa-
tion Of Life Insurance Presidents. In
three of the four inquiries the results
deal with 80 per cent of the life insur-
ance business in the United States,
while in the other case, that of death
claims, SIS per cent of the total bust
ness is represented.
According to the reports, the people
of the United States had in 1921 the
healthiest year of their existence; they
bought $500, 900 of new life in
surance, an amount second in volume
only to that purchased in 1920; the
proportion Of the accumulated borrow
ings on their life insurance policies is
we'll below the high level reached in
1914, and the assets held as reserves to
mature policies are making substan-
tial growth, contributing further to ma
tional development.
The report states that there has been
an appreciable reduction from all pre-
vous records in the number of deaths
among insured lives. The insurance
death rate was lowered from 958 a
thousand in 1920 to 8.24 thousand
in 1921. These figures applied to the
United States and Canada would in
dicate q saving Of $4,000 lives.

Thermal Unit for
Measuring Gas
Favored for CITY
Experts and Large Cons,,m-
crs Would Abolish Candle
Power Standard; Claim
1t Would Cut Expense

A rccommcndation that the mctho cd
OF measuring the consumption of gas
be changed from the present 22-candlc
power standard to the thermal unit
system is madc in the report of a
special committee OF gas experts and
large consumers to Chairman William
a. Prendergast Of the Public Service
Commission
The report is in direct opposition
TO the attitude of the IIylan city ad-
minlstratlon on the subject. as the
corporation Counsel notified the Public
Service Commission East Friday that it
would submit testimony in the Kings
county lighting Company case to sup
port the present % candle power sys-
TEN.
1t the thermal unit system Of
measurement were to be adopted, the
report says, there would be possible
reduction in the cost Of gas to the
consumer. New York is now the ONLY
large city in the world that uses the
candle power standard. which, the com
ml'tce says IS "wasteful and produc-
tive OF no benefits to general con
sumers. Under tho thermal unit
method a definite standard of quality
is ilXed for the gas which would per
mt changes in the methods of manu-
facturc that would save five cents a
thousand feet
As to whether this saving should be
passed on to the small. consumer or be
gwen entirely to big users for busi-
ness and commercial purposes, includ
ing factories, the committee was
divided. The gas experts favor making
cut should the thermal unit standsAi
OF quality be adopted, in the house
holdcrs' rate, while the representatives
of the Merchants Association and
other business organizations recon
mend"d that this saving 60 to the com
merclal users
The report says that 100000 meters
IN Manhattan and tho Bronx show
small consumption or none some
months of the year, and recommends
that 60 cents be charged each month
Tor the first 800 feet or less con
sumod.
