Impressive Growth
In Volume of Life
Insurance Written
During Past Year

Hon. Wilbur D. Spencer. State in
surance commissioner, stated Thurs
day that the sustained advance in
the volume of life insurance written
in Maine, as we'll as in the United
States. during the past year is i'm
pressive.
"In spite Of the. slow recovery of
industry from the prolonged depres-
sion consequent upon the World
War, the demand for this kind of
protection has not only been inten-
sif1ed, but it has reflected a growing
sentiment for thrift, stronger soli-
citude for dependents and an obvious
appreciation of the increasing dan
gers which may defeat the eXpec-
fancy Of human life," continued Com
missioner Spencer.
ut Is the anomoly, not to say
irony of fate, that health officials are
constantly striving to lengthen the
average age by hygienic methods
while congestion of traffic. fire haz-
ards and complicated occupational
devices destroy hundreds of hou-
sands of the nation without COM
ment.
with all this uncertainty before
our eyes. it is not strange that life
insurance has become a necessity
and that the future of the world is
bound up with it. Almost every ma

to borrow to the limit of its credit

COLONIAL THEATRE
"Moana, a Better Picture; Tom Mix
in "My Own PAP; Last Episode Of
"Ace of Spades; News Weekly

Robert Louis Stevenson has left US
this testimonial to the Samoans: II
love Samoa and her people. l love
the land. and have chosen it to be
my home while live, and my grave
after l am dead; and love the peo-
pie, and have chosen them to be my
people, to live and die with"
Now for the first time, Robert j.
Flaherty has captured all the beauty
and glamour of Samoan life in a
truly exceptional Paramount picture,
"Moana," which will have it's premier
performance at the Colonial theatre
today.
Flaherty, the producer of that ex-
traordinary Eskimo film, "Nanook of
the North" spent twenty months
with the Samoan natives making
this-his latest picture of a strange
race. The result is that he has
translated to the common denomin-
ator of the celluloid, all the poetic
praise which has been lavished upon
the people of Samoa by Stevenson,
Frederick O'Brien, Beatrice Grim
shaw, John La Fargo and countless
other writer's and travellers.
Tom Mix with his wonder horse
Tony appear in their latest produce
ton entitled MY Own Pal" This
picture is considered one of MiX's
best and will afford fine entertain
ment. When all is said and done
Tom Mix is the last word in western
pictures.
The final episode of the "Ace of
Spades" is a real thriller, and will
solve all of the mysteries that have
taken pace during the past ten weeks.

tDprary duration, water system hydro
electric development and even our
war expenses are charged to pos
terity, and the only antidote Is long
term life insurance, which may help
future generations to equahze the
burden.
THE greatest increase in life In
surance policies issued In Maine TOT
the past year was apparent IN tne
Industrial, where 1t amounted to IL
per cent, but the claims were reduc-
ed in both ordinary and group class
es. This indicates that there nave
been no fatal epidemics during the
past year in the State, and general
health conditions have been remark
ably good.
"The companies which effected the
vast volume of business In the state
have demonstrated their ability to
nroduce insurance during unfavorapie
conditions. and the result Is tri-
butte to their efficient agency sys-
tenn" =.

Augusta People
Should Report All
Infectious Cases,
Says DIR. Kendall

"People Of the City Of Augusta do
not seem to realize the danger from
communicable diseases and the i'm
portance of reporting these cases to
the local health officer" declared
DR.. Clarence F. Kendall, State COM
missioner Of health, yesterday.
DIR. Kendall stated that whereas
II Is evident that there are q con-
siderable number of cases of humps
in the city and have been during the
past several weeks, there was not a
case reported to the local health Of
ficer last week, only one case the
week previous, and but one case the
week before that. There have also
been some cases of whooping cough
in the city that have not been re-
ported.
IT don't believe that one per cent.
Of the cases of mumps and whooping
cough have been reported" said DR..
Kendall yesterday.
Commissioner Kendall pointed out
that the fault was largely that of
the householders who when their
children have had the humps, have
not called physicians nor reported
the cases. Cases Of communicable
diseases in Augusta should be re-
ported promptly to the local health
officer, DR.. George A. Coombs, in or
der that they may be properly quar-
antined and the danger of complica-
ton might he prevented.
School officials have certain obli-
cations" continued Commissioner
Kendall. MANY pupils are being re-
admitted to the schools without hav-
ing proper certificates from physi-
clans before returning. This causes
the disease to spread through the
school.
"Under the school laws, Sections
43 and A of Chapter 16 of the Re-
vised Statutes are these important
provisions for preventing the intro
duction of infectious diseases into
the schools: The experimenting
school committee shall cause to be
referred to the school physician for
examination and diagnosis every
