Helps Loans

little insurance means ready real
estate sales, quick assets for loans,
absolutely secure possession and
peace Of mind to the property owner.
MANY OF the largest life insur-
ance companies in the world now
are using title insurance policies on
all their loans in communities where
such insurance is obtainable.
"An effective effort is being made
by the Union Title Company to in
form the public of the merits of this
protection, and as soon as it learns
what the special investigators of the
big insurance companies have al
ready learned, title insurance will
become as popular as life or fire in
surance. The low cost Of this insur-
ance adds to it's popularity-there
being no annual premiums-the pay

|COST $114,724,ODO;
$50 LOSE LIVES
Statistics on Enforcement of
Dry Statutes Given Out
by Treasury.

bb United Press
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-En'
forcement Of the prohibition law has
cost the United States more than
$114,724,OO0 this far.
In addition. 1886 persons have lost
their lives in the civil war between
/. Federal forces and bootleggers.
These statistics were obtained at
b treasury from Government re-
IT'S today.
Operation Of the prohibition unit
Rcluding money to be spent up to
Ehe close Of the fiscal year, June 80
1927, has amounted to $62 1902, 514
Coast guard activities for the pre-
vention Of rum smuggling have
cost $52,151 $50.
Millions Of dollars has been spent
by the Justice Department for
prosecution Of liquor cases, but no
record Of the amount is kept. Much
OF the money spent for Federal
Courts could be charged to prohi-
bition, officials said.
Fifty prohibition agents have been
killed in line Of duty since the Vol.
stead act was adopted. More than
$50 persons have been killed by dry
officers and 1876 coast guard men
lost their lives while on duty pre-
venting rum smuggling. Most of
the guardsmen were washed over
board while on patrol work.
Fines collected in Federal courts
for prohibition law violations during
the last three years swelled the
treasury Golfers by more than $22,-
100000.
Dry agents in seven years have
confiscated property valued at near
ly $S0,0OO,0OO. A large portion Of
the seizures have been sold and the
money put into the treasury. Most
Of the liquor seized, however, was
destroyed.
Had America remained ''wet, !"
revenues from the beverage tax
would have amounted to nearly
100000 officials said, arriving at
this figure by comparing tax collec-
lions before the United States ac-
copied the Eighteenth Amendment.
Tax collections on distilled spirits
and fermented liquors since prohibit
ton aggregate less than $400, 900,
it was shown.
Prohibition authorities, however,
contend the money was well spent
in that the country under the dry
era has prospered; drunkenness has
declined and living conditions have
improved.

In Chicago

To-day there is practically no loan
house in Chicago that does not de.
mand a title insurance policy with
every one Of its loans. Years ago,
the large mortgage houses of Chi
cago-there are some 300 firms there
now doing a mortgage business
which runs into an annual total of
about 100000, 000-saw the many
distinct commercial advantages of
mortgage policies ard practically
have ceased to use any method other
than title insurance.
"'Twenty-one out of the first
twenty-five cities of the United
States use title insurance. Twenty.
eight States have laws governing or
regulating title insurance.
THE growth of this form Of In
surance and its permanency, which
now is assured, is due to the merits
and efficiency of the system itself.
It furnishes, as does no other sys-
tenn, convenience, flexibility and
safety in the transfer of titles TO
real estate.
Many people in Indianapolis
rapidly are becoming educated to the
point where they refuse to accept
title to neal estate or loan money
on mortgage without an insurance
policy.

BLUE SKY LAW
IS PRAISED BY
STAT1E OFFICIAL
Securities Commissioner
Says Stock Scandals Will
Be Prevented.

There will be no more Dolings,
Hawkins and Consolidated Theaters
and Realty Company stock and
security scandals in Indiana as long
as the present "blue sky" law is in
effect. according to David Jennings,
State securities commissioner.
Jennings said that all Of these
companies, the failure of which cost
the people Of Indiana several million
dollars, operated under an old law
which has now been repealed.
The Consolidated Theaters and
Realty Company, the latest organi-
zation to fail, probably will cost
Hoosier investors between 100000
and $1,000, 900 Jennings said. He
said he felt that reports saying at
least $2,O0O,OOO had been invested
in the venture by Indiana people
were greatly exaggerated"
Under Old Law
This company, and the Dollings
and Hawkins organizations, oper-
ated under a law. which provided
that "any Indiana or foreign corpo-
ration that had rs per cent Of its
securities authorized or sold prior
to Aug. J., 1927 could claim ex-
emption from the act,
MAs a result of this clause these
Apanies were not required to
Qualify with the securities commits
sioner before placing their stocks on
sale.'
All OF the Hawkins stock was sold
under this clause, and Former Sc
curity Commissioner Mendenhall,
who attempted to have the clause
repealed, always contended that it
was the Hawkins lobby" that de-
feated his efforts.
Used Old Clause
Seven of the eleven Do1lings Com
panies in Indiana operated under
this clause. Two of the other four
never were sold, Jennings said, and
the other two companies presented
sworn statements. which tended to
show the concerns were above re
proach.
The effort to repeal this exemp-
ton clause was made in 1923, but 1t
was not until 1925 that the meas
ure was finally pushed through the
State Legislature.
Under this clause no affidavits
were required from companies iaf-
fected and the concerns were free
to sell their stocks where ever they
pleased.
Sold to Teachers
Jennings is Of the opinion that the
majority Of the money lost In the
Consolidated venture. will be found
in the vicinity Of the Normal
schools at Muncie, Terre Haute,
Danville and around colleges at
Richmond, Bloomington and La
fayette.
!. The company is said to have made
IN special effort to induce school
III Dachers to invest in its securities,
Jennings declared.
"The present law has real teeth in
it and woe betide the man or con-
Germ that attempts to- violate its
provisions" Jennings said. II am
sure that had this law been in effect
in 1920 there. would have been no

SMOKE INHALERS
LOWER IN COLLEGE
Make Poorer Grades Than
Those Who Don't-Ab-

Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star
YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio, August
don't inhale when you smoke If
you want to get good grades Is the
advice given to students by J. Ross
lyn carp of Antioch College, who has
Just investigated the long-run effect
Of tobacco on college men. As a re-
suit of his research he announces
that those students who inhale the
fumes of tobacco, regardless OF
whether they smoke much or little,
have lower scholarship records than
smoking students who do not inhale.
This fits in with the statement of a
German scientist who recently re-
ported that inhalers take into their
systems eight times as much nicotine
rs smokers who do not inhale, MIR.
carp says.
The effect of smoking is chiefly
shown in mental fitness, the expert
ments at Antioch College indicate.
When smokers and non-smokers were
given physical tests Mr.. carp could
discover no significant difference be-
tween the pulse rates, blood preSSurey
or heart efficiency of the two classes.
But when he looked up scholarship
records, covering a long period of
time, he found striking difference
in his figures.
Although the number of smokers
and non-smokers in the college is
practically the same, yet out of %
students dismissed last year for low
scholarship 81 were smokers" he
says. las one ascends the scale of
scholarship, the proportion of nom
smokers grows steadily greater. And,
in general, those who smoke much
have lower scholarships than those
who smoke little"
Significance of these findings is in
creased by the fact that they have
been carefully subjected to mathe
NAUTICAL processes to measure the re-
liability of the results. Mr.. carp be.
lieves that this is the first time that
the effect of inhaling on scholarship
has been measured, and he thinks
that the figures may be "of some i'm
portance. since they indicate that the
lowered mental efficiency is not just a
coincidence, but is actually q, con-
sequence of smoking"

SACRAMENTO, August 1.-The

Their affinity OF interest is linn
tied to forest fire. 1t has been
learned that fires have often been

ton of suns rays through the
magnifying glass of a bottle care
lessly tossed aside by the person
who has drained it. Once started,
the glass blaze spreads to the trees,
and It is then that the airplane
comes into play.
