Veterans Given Opportunity
to Be ReinStated.

A national drive for one week, be-
ginning Feb. to urge World War
veterans to reinstate their war risk
insurance in the event it has lapsed,
has been designated by President
Coolidge, according to a dispatch re-
ceived today by Postmaster Robert

ly and totally disabled, provision is
made for reinstatement upon pay
ment of premiums and interest for
the period of lapse. These payments
may be temporarily waived for those
