INSURANCE SPURTS
TO ENORMOUS TOTAL
Regular and Industrial Policies
Now in Force Amount to $67,-
100000, 900, Actuary Says.

Sixty-seven billion dollars is in force
In regular and industrial insurance in
the United States today, representing
an increase during the past 61a years
equal to that Of the preceding rs
years.
These figures were presented be-
fore the Actuarial Society convention
at the Mayflower Hotel by J. s. Elston.
assistant actuary Of the Travellers
Insurance Co., whose paper was dis
cussed yesterday. The combined
assets Of insurance companies in
America now exceed $11 .000, ,000, 900,
Of which nearly $4,000, 900 900 Is in
vested in real estate mortgages and
more than $4,000. 900 900 in bonds.
Mr.. Elston considers the increase
in group insurance the most impor-
tant Of all such increases. The
amounts in force in that type of
insurance is now 40 times what it was
10 years ago. He declared that there
is in the United States now an av.
erage OF $1.554 in force for each
grown man in regular and industrial
insurance, which is three times the
average of 10 years ago.

PRESIDENT LEAVES
MONDAY TO VOTE
Northampton, Mass, :, Citizens
Plan Reception for Him
After He Casts Ballot.

President Coolidge is looking for
ward with much pleasure to his visit
Tuesday to Northampton, Mass, where
he and Mrs. Coolidge will personally
cast their ballots at the election.
The President has not been to his
home in that city for more than
year. According to word received
at the White House, the town is going
to turn out in grand style in honor
Of its former mayor, and a large dele
cation at the station will greet the
presidential party upon its arrival and
act as an escort.
Later on there will be a reception
by the citizens in the High School
auditorium. The President and Mrs.
Coolidge, IL is understood, will receive
some of their intimate friends and
neighbors in their old home, now occu-
pied by Mrs. Elmyra Goodhue, mother
Of Mrs. Coolidge.
Voting Hour Undecided.
1t has not been definitely determined
at what hour the President and Mrs.
Coolidge will do their voting. 1t Is
thought likely, however, that this for
nlality will be disposed of just prior
to- the reception at the high school.
The President while discussing his
forthcoming visit, said the voting
booth they will use is In the Memorial
Hall, which is in a little park very
close to the city hall.
He called attention to the fact that
this will be the first time in four years
that he has voted in person at North
ampton. Two years ago, when he was
up for election as President, he and
Mrs. Coolidge cast their votes by mail,
principally because the President was
TO make an address over the radio and
could not go to Northampton.
The President recalled that when he
went to Northampton four years ago
ne had just concluded a speaking tour,
which took him through IA Of the
States. lie said his last speech was
made at Huntington. w. Va, in behalf
nf Senator Sutherland, and that al
though the hall in which he spoke was
well crowded and there was all sorts
of cheering, Senator Sutherland went
down to defeat.
Virtually the entire official family
OF the President will be out Of Wash
ington on election day. Secretary Of
State Kellogg will be the only cabinet
member to remain here. He will do
his voting by mail. With the excep.

Consequently. all the new six.cylin-

the largest Of them is smaller in en-
gine capacity than the smallest
American automobile, yet they are so
well designed that ~they will accom-
plish almost as much.

Secretary Goes With Him.


f. P. Clark. personal secretary to
President Coolidge, who Is a native Of
Northampton, and Mrs. Clark will ac-
company the presidential party to
Northampton to cast their ballots.
Everett Sanders, secretary to the
President and Mrs. Sanders will do
their voting in Indiana by mail.
The President expects to leave
Washington Monday might in time to
put him in Northampton about Z or
s o'clock in the morning. Although
the time for his return has not been
decided upon, the President has in
dicated he wants to be. back at the
White House early Tuesday night.
This would mean the President in.
tends to leave Northampton very
shortly after noon.
No arrangements have been made
for receiving the election returns by
means Of radio on the train. 1t is
thought probable the returns would
not be sufficient at that hour to war
rant the setting up of a radio on the
Presidents train.
At the White House the telegraph
and long distance telephone wires will
be in readiness upon the Presidents
rturn, TO receive information about
the outcome of the election in the

Ice-Bound Five Weeks,
Ship Crosses Sea in IL

Extraordinarily three months since
IL first sailed from Stockholm, Swe-
den. voyage that usually takes less
than three weeks, the steamer Baltic,
Capt. o. Lodin, warped into dock at
Charlestown with a story of having
been trapped in the Ice Of the Baltic
sea for five weeks.
The steamer left Stockholm with a
cargo Of wood pulp, polished granite
and other merchandise. 1t made the
passage to the Finnish port Of Hango,
where It finished loading. The FIVE
succeeding weeks were passed frozen
in the Ice Of the northern sea, and 1t
was only through persistent efforts
to open a path with the assistance
Of two ice-breaking boats sent out by
the Swedish government that It was
extricated.
With provisions low and coal near.
~ exhausted, the steamer limped
back to Stockholm, where It's bunk
ers were replenished. 1t next went
into drydock for minor repairs.
Through the unusually long voyage,
Captain Lodin said the health OF his
crew was excellent. In addition to
its regular cargo. the Baltic brought

DAWN-DUSK WORLD
FLIGHT HIS DREAM
SIS Miles an Hour Needed,
says Scientist.

New York.-Around the world In
seventeen hours, the length Of the
daylight period on long summer day,
Is the dream of Or. Charles II. T.
Townsend of ItaquaQuecetuba, Brazil,
writing In the Scientific Monthly. To
do this at the latitude Of New York
would require constant speed Of S15
miles an hour, nearly three times the
highest speed yet attained by air
planes over even short distances.
Even at that, however, Doctor Town.
send does not think his dream outside
the limits Of possibility, Man began
flying only short time ago, after
studying the flights Of birds for many
centuries, and he has already far out
done the birds in speed, In altitude
and In weights carried, though he has
not yet proved himself the equal OF
the best Of them In long distance, non;
stop flights.
To reach the terrific speed neces-
sary for dawn-to-dusk flight around
the world, however, a different ami.
NAL model will have to be studied,
in the opinion of Doctor Townsend.
He has made observations on the
flight of a certain genus Of large flies,
known to scientists as Cephenemyia,
which have flying speeds Of about 4OO
yards a second, or over SOO miles an
hour. This does not equal the We.
locity of modern rifle bullet, but Is
faster than an old-fashioned musket
ball and as fast as the prejectiles OF
certain kinds Of artillery. II such a
velocity could be reached by flying
machine II would easily accomplish
the feat dreamed Of by Doctor Town.
send.
II Is admitted that this would not
be easy to accomplish by any flight
mechanism known at present, but the
fact remains that the flies do 1t. Their
analogy to long-flight airplane is
the stronger, Doctor Townsend points
out In that the fiies eat nothing what
ever during their several weeks OF
adult life, living and flying entirely
on energy stored up In the reserve
food material laid up In their bodies
during their prolonged feeding period
as grubs. That Is to say, they carry
fuel and rations for all the flying that
they ever do.

SELECT SEED CORN AT
ONCE. SEED SCARCE

A serious shortage Of seed corn
from the varieties and strains adapt
ed to Montana is the outlook at the
present time. Unless a good supply OF
seed is properly selected and stored
before fields are effected by frost
this fall there is every Indication
that a mighty serious condition may
result as far as the progress Of corr
in Montana is concerned. Good seed
was short this spring and consequent
ly prices for seed of adapted varieties
were high, but If some attention Is
not given to the selection Of seed this
fall the prices paid for seed this
spring will be small compared 70 the
prices that will be paid next spring.
Continued dry weather in the more
important corn growing sections in
the state has brought the present
condition about. The acreage Of corn
in Cascade County has decreaser dur
ing the past few years and with the
present outlook there will be another
serious decrease II corn growers do
not select = large supply Of good
seed this fall before frost.
Seed corn should be selected
week or ten days before the average
date II the first killing frost in the
fall, which will usually be the early
part Of September. The best matursd
ears from vigorous well rooted plants
should -ba- selectAd, altar observing |
