PEOPLE BUYING
LIFE INSURANCE
Records This Year Breaking
All Previous High Points
Billions Are Sold.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Breaking
all previous records, the American
people are purchasing s11,710,0000 900
new life insurance this year, accord
ing to a report submitted to the
seventeenths annual convention of
the Association of Life Insurance
Presidents here yesterday. la max
ing this announcement, the chairman
of the convention, who Is Hon. Ed
ward d. Duffiold. President of the
Prudential Insurance Company of
America, said that the total in3ur-
ance in force on American lives 1T
the end of this year will be more
than $1,000, 900, 900. which, he added,
is greater than the amount of life
insurance in force IN all of the rest
of the world combined
Decreased Demand For Loans
An unprecedented increase in life
insurance investment funds and a
decreased demand for loans by policy
holders are significant factors in
the remarkable economic growth of
the United States in 1925, declared
Vice President Frederick Fl. Ecker
OF the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company.

Columbia Is Worth
Nearly $100, 900, 900

NEW YORK, Dec. Gifts to
Columbia University in the last fis.
cal year, amounting to $12,72S,021.58,
have brought the institutions total
resources up to s92.240,5 ,575.79, ac-
cording to the annual report OF
President Butler.
The University received the larg.
est single gift from the estate of
Amos F. Emo. 1t was $5,S17,757, for
general endowment.
More than $9.500,000 of the total
received was for either general or
special endowments, and, added to
the $35,s19.971 endowment fund re-
ported by the university last year,
brings Columbia very close to the
highest endowment OF any univer-
sity in the country--the $4,000, 900
fund of Harvard.
The recent gifts also place the
university far ahead OF its nearest
competitor in this respect. which
is Yale, with a fund Of $32,662 ,012.
according to figures for 1922. The
same figures show the next most
heavily endowed universities are Chi
cago, s2s,S50. 900, and Leland Stan
ford University. Jr., $26,450,000.

American on Trial
in Bergdoll Case

MOSBACH BADEN, Germany, Dec.
First Lieut.. Corliss Homer Griffs.
of Hamilton, Ohio, testified In the
German Court today which is trying
him in the part he played in the
attempted kidnapping of Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, American draft
evader at Eberbach last August.
Griffs asserted he was prime
mover In the plot and while the
American officers in Paris made
plans, the American Legion had moth
ing to do with the case. Griffs
said the motif was purely patriotic.
A sentence Of three years is asked
in the caee against Griffs by the
States Attorney Nebel. The latter
contended that the u. s. Govern
mcnt was largely responsible for at
tempts to remove Bergdoll illegally
and expressed the opinion that it
would be wise If Americans, in the
interest of peace. abandoned these
everlasting man hunts" for Berg
doll.

Compilation of the scores made
by the different communities oil
Alaska in the Legion Americaniza-
tion campaign, reveals the pleasing
fact that there are seven Alaskan II
towns in the eighty class and this
judged in the. light of comparison
with scores from other parts of the
nation, is exceptionally good said
Capt. S. N. Dancey, who conducted
the campaign. Alaska scored II
per cent average, lacking only a
few points of the highest score on
record in any part of the United
States" He continued:
Fairbanks and Douglas ran close
for first place, but, the inland CAPT
tai had a slight fractional advan-
tage over the Channel town. Ket-
chikan is awarded third place, the
fact that Gateway City had failed
to meet the need of adequate school
accommodations, reduces its score.
In all other things Ketchikan ran
in the front rank.
Characterization is a national
campaign and the speakers sent into
the field are men, who are not only
equipped for the platform, but, they
are trained to study community con-
ditions. Captain Dancey. who is
just completing the campaign on
the Channel, is one of the best
known of the Legion's workers and
has labored in close onto eight
thousand communities.
Capt. DaDcey explained that,
down country, it is necessary to
score church support in every town
and city, but in Alaska this had
been elimin mated because of the
unique condition that precipitates
lack of interest in the churches
Otherwise it would have meant that
the score of all Alaskan towns
would suffer considerably.
Legion Activities.
There are towns where the Lee
gion post is not as active as 1t
should be, but in a case like that
the community is not charged with
the responsi bility. The fact is that
we give the benefit of the doubt to
the community in this and other
things. Experience, however, teach
es us that where Legion is func-
tioning as it should function the
