$4,000 IN REWARDS FOR
CAPTURE OF ESCAPES

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Aug. L.
Ninety thousand dollars in out
standing rewards offered by the
State of Florida for the apprehen-
sion of escaped convicts and fugi-
tives from justice awaits distribu-
ton to detectives that are willing
to 90 out and corral the missing
ones. This information is revealed
in data being complied by n. f.
Andrews, who is in charge of the
prison department of the state ag-
ricultural commissioners office.
The data shows that there are
COL escaped convicts, some of whom
have been gone as long as twenty
years. Standing rewards of 500
for each of these aggregates $780,
100. In addition to the Col es-
capes, approximately 800 fugutives
from justice are wanted by the
State. Rewards for these vary
from $50 up, some going as high
as 5000, or more. The average
probably will range around 500
each. which makes an additional
$4,000.

Mrs. Whey went in to dress for
dinner.
The deep-toned Ducun gong, re-
verberating in the stiffness of the
night, brought her back to the YER
anda. Her brother was nowhere
to be seen. She hurried down the
passage to his room, tapped on the
door, then, getting no response,
looked in. The rom was empty and
glance sufficed to tell her he
had not been there since his re-
turn. The neatly piled clean cloth
es were still where the servant had
put them. Her mind slightly trou-
bled, she invaded his office. As
she stepped toward the writing
table, a grim sense of impending
disaster swept over her. She
thrust it from her resolute, and
pressed onward. Both hands rest
ing on the wooden surface, she
gazed horror-stricken before her
at a dagger with a gilt handle that
stuck upright in the table, its thin
steel. blade impaling heap of
torn paper fragments. Dimly, as
her powers of reasoning stole back
to heer, she realized that the tat
tered document was the warrant
for the arrest of Chai-Hung, and
that the yellow handle of the knife
bore seven distinct black dots on
the side that was turned toward
her-four on the upper half and
three below.
Sudden she became aware that
Pennington-serene, immaculate
was at her elbow.
She swung round on him fierce
ly.

this mean? Where is Jack? What

The life insurance companies
working with all other health agen3
cies, are changing this condition ma.
terially
In 1000, in the industries, therl
was an average loss of thirteen days
per worker through illness. In 1921
this had been reduced to seven days
per worker. From 1860 to 1877 tho
general death rate in the United
States registration area dropped
from 10 to l29 per thousand In.
ten years industrial accidents have
been reduced eighty per cent. while
marked Improvement has been made
In working and living conditions.
An example of the way. that life,
insurance companies work to pro.
long life is found in their activities.
n the case of locomotive engineers
and miners. The companies discov-
cred that the average life OF locomo-
tive engineers was five years less
than the general average, whiloethei
acreage of workers in underground
metal mines was nine years less.
Ttas information was given to the
railroads and mining companies,
which at once adopted various de-
vices to improve conditions in order
to remove unnecessary hazards.
1t needs no argument TO show the
value of this work to the individual
and to society.

But the money value of an extra
year added to a mans life is the

value that makes life worth while.

ADDING YEARS TO EVERY
ONES LEE

OANAS - AsAEIe
One of the valuable by-prodrcts
of Life Insurance is its effect upon
the health and longevity of the whole
people. Health OF body and ta;ud is
an Indispensable form of wealth. It
also IS fundamental condition OF
progress both for the individual and
for society. Since sickness is the
enemy Of everything worth having,
the progress of any community may
fairly be measured by its success i'll
preventing or reducing disease and
thus prolonging th% average span of
hfe.
The growing participation of more
and more people IN the blessings of
good health is one OF the things for
which Lie Insurance as. an iustitu-
ZION can justly claim credit.
There is an old story about a man
who got the idea that Life Insur-
ance policy was a guarantee against
death. He was greatly disappointed
when he found that by paying the
premiums lie could not add forty or
fifty years 20 his lifetime. But there
IS a sense in which this gentleman
was not SO lar wrong, in lis general
idea. Life insurance companies
have fought so hard to do away Will,
disease and unsafe conditions in in
.dustry that they have actually added
several years TO the life OK the ay-
erage American citizen.
70 begin with, a man cannot in
sure his life in any Of the insurance
companies unless he be III good
health at the time and be Of healthy
stock. lie must have a reasonable
prospect of reaching an advanced old
age. The reason for this is OBJ
yious. 1t would not be fair to tic
rest of the forty millions ot policy
holders for diseased person to be
admitted upon equal terms to their
Brotherhood. To make the thing
success, al! must start on an equal
footing.
