Christmas Fund
For Wards of, State
Is Nearly Subscribed

Secretary CRUDE B. Cornish Of the
State Department of Charities ana
Corrections announced yesterday
that the fund of $4,000 needed to pro-
vide the wards of the state with
Christmas presents has been made
up except for about $3.50.
A thirty foot Christmas tree has
already been set up in the Senate
Chamber and yesterday forenoon a
group of the young ladies from the
Department were busily engaged in
decorating it with shining ropes OF
tinsel and gaily colored ornaments.
1t is safe to prophecy that no group
of children within the borders of
Maine will have a more beautiful
tree.
Secretary Cornish has received re-
quests from a large number of folk
who wish to bring their own children
to see the distribution of gifts this
afternoon, and announced yesterday
of children accompanied by their
parents.
Few Christmas parties held within
Names borders are more enjoyed
than the one which will take place
in the State House this afternoon,
and the Department of Charities and
Corrections wishes at this time 70
thank their many friends who have
so generously contributed to make
possible the distribution of gifts.
Further donations will help to
make up the lacking $3.50 which has
already been expended to complete
the needed amount of gifts.

Law COURT AWARDS
INSURANCE CLAIM
IN HANCOCK CASE

Judgement in the amount of the in
surance policy was given by the law
court in a Hancock county rescript
recently handed down in the case OF
Eta Clark against the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company which was
before the law court on report for
| final determination. The rescript
reads: =
An action at law in assumpsit to
recover the amount due under the
terms of an insurance policy issued
| by the defendant and in which the
plaintiff, now widow of the insured,
was named as the beneficiary. Before
the Law Court on report for final de-
| termination.
Held, /: Life insurance is known
| by different names, according to the
nature of the terms and conditions
of the different forms of contracts or
| policies. An assessment insurance is
where the benefit to be paid is de-
| pendent upon the collection of as
sessments necessary for paying the
| amount insured. An old line policy
| Is a contract where the amount to be
paid by the insured is fixed. the
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1926-12-23

premiums to be paid are unalterabie'
and the liability incurred by the De-
PENDANT company Is also nxeo' oe-
finite, and Interchangeable. In the case
at bar, the policy 10 OF the OLD me
type.
2: Where provisions of statute are
to be read into an insurance pohcy,
the statute, II Of another state. must
be proved, for it Is well settled tnat
the statutes Of another state are 10 De
proved as matter of fact, and ne VINO
relies upon a foreign statute must
prove it. This Court has no authority
to go outside the record and consider
facts not in it. and this rule includes
foreign statutes -,
3: While a court of equity will de-
cree that to be done which ought 70
have been done, yet this equitable
rule can not be employed IN defense
of actions at law.
4. Where the terms OF contract
of insurance expressly state the time,
place, and method by which bene-
ficiary may be changed, the parties
are bound by the contract, and, so
long as the action remains an action
at law, their rights must be determ-
ined under legal rules and not under
rules governing proceedings In
equity.
s: While 1t Is true that II the I'm
sured does all that ne Is required to
do and all that it Is in his power to
do and dies. the equity court will de-
clare the change complete. but this
rule does not obtain in proceeding
at law.
6: Where procedure and rules re-
lating to change Of beneficiary are
intended only for the benefit of the
company and may, therefore, be
waived by 1t, yet this does not give
to the insuring company the privilege
of destroying vested rights of third
party by any claim of waiver on the
part of the insuring company.
Z: In the case at bar, the change
in beneficiary has never been made
in accordance with the terms Of the
contract, the insured Is long since
dead, and at his death the right of
his widow as named beneficiary in
the policy is vested.
Judgement for the plaintiff for the
sum named in the policy, with inter-
est thereon from the date Of the writ
to the date of final Judgment.

The chorus work. Is most pleasing,
the girls graceful, vivacious and at

as they trip out the various dance
steps, with almost clock-like unity

their costumes, we'll set off by elegant
scenery and proper lighting effects
adds to the appeal.
The fun stuff by Jimmie and Micky

Should Stop Piling
OF COrdwOOd Near
Road in Winter Time

Letters are being sent out by the
State Highway Commission to NUM-
cipal officers all over the State, call
ing attention to the fact that more
or less difficulty Is experienced dur
ing the winter and spring on account
of the custom Of piling logs and
wood, both cord wood and pulp
wood, along the highways during the
winter months.
Many times the piles are so close
that two vehicles, either animal
drawn or motor driven. cannot meet
and pass between the piles" says the
commission in the letter. Fur
thermore, after the snow leaves it is
often found that wood has been piled
completely over the bitches of the
highway and there IL no opportunity
to open the bitches for the purpose
of taking care Of road drainage, SO
that very serious mud holes occur
opposite these piles Of wood. We
have also known of instances where
wood SO piled on top Of snow has
fallen over into the highway as the
snow has melted under the pile on
the side next to the travelled way.
1T seems to this commission that
1t Is possible to proven his whole
situation and In consequence have
our roads in much better condition
for travel early in the spring.
Authority for handling this matter
is contained in Chapter 215 of the
Public Laws. of 1921, which amends
Section 1o4 Of Chapter 20 Of the Re-
