fenced buyer in rare articles, Mr..
President opened the meeting for
discussion. 1t was here that the
bargaining ability of the seniors
was shown. The very frankness of
the class was appalling. One most
businesslike serious faced young
senior moved that the class see
more samples before they made
their decision.
The salesman's look of perfect
assurance faded completely as the
motion carried. His lower jaw fell.
We thot for the moment that he,
finding the class much more diff
ficult to deal with than he had
imagined, would give up in hope
less despair.
As discussion was continued one
determined young maiden, in fear
that the class might yet be per-
suaded by the eager salesman, said
that surely other companies car
ried goods equally as fine, and that
the class should not be too ready to
listen to his fine arguments.
As a last resort our man began
to lower his terms. which only
helped to further our suspicious.
Needless to say, We have yet to
place our order.

A red hot fight seems likely to be
staged at the meeting of the policy
holders of the Farmers & Mechanics
Mutual Insurance Association, to be
held on Saturday August s, in the
Session House, Zion, at 200 p. m.
At the July meeting of the Board
of Directors, a resolution was passed
to submit to vote OF the policy hold
ers the proposal to change the office
of the Association from Zion. The
resolution was so framed as to con-
fine the proposed change of office to
North East, permitting no other
place of location to be voted on.
The sentiment of policy holders,
as far as we have been able to learn,
is overwhelmingly opposed to max
ing North East the headquarters of
the Association.
The contention is that the bulk of
the insurance carried is on property
in Upper Cecil county, and that the
Office of the Secretary-Treasurer
should remain at a central point,
and that North East is not that CEN
trail point by any manner of means.
At any rate, when it comes to a
showdown at the meeting on Satur-
day, it looks like sparks are going
to fly, and the opposing factions are
lining up their forces for the i'm
pending battle.

pressing regret that the tradition

ing are contained in signed article
by Senator William Cabell Bruce in

Senator's article states, rs that it
encroaches upon the wholesome prin-

the door to an indafiniteasuccession
of Presidential terms, likely, sooner

made whereby a third-term would be

FIRE INSURANCE LOSSES
MOUNTING

Fine insurance companies IN the
United States in 1926, suffered an
underwriting loss of $23,738,395, or
3.74 per cent, which was a slight i'm
provement over 1925.
Despite this slight Improvement,
Wilfred Kurth, retiring president OF
The National Board of Fire Under
writer's, points out that 1925 had the
worst fire loss record in the history
of the country.
'It is true that the value of the
insurable property in the country is
steadily increasing" said Mr.. Kurth,
land there is certain plausibility In
the argument sometimes heard that,
while the absolute amount of the fire
loss is rising, the ratio borne by this
amount to the total value of exsist'
ing property is gradually falling.
1.-THE stern fact that the under
writer's have to face, however, is
that in a succession of recent years
in which no major conflagration has
occurred, both the sum total of the
country's fire losses and the sum to-
tai of their own loss payments have
increased more rapidly than has the
sum total of the premiums they have
received from the insuring public.
"As against this actual condition
theoretical improvement in proper
ton between total fire losses ant
total property values affords small
ground for satisfaction or encourage
ment. Hence common business pru
dence compels the underwriters tt
assume that existing fire loss condi
lions are practically beyond theil
power to change, and to look to wha
they can accomplish within their owl
domain for the correction of the un
tenable underwriting position il
which American fire insurance nov
finds ITSELF
In the opinion of Mr.. Kurth, tn
fire insurace companies of the coun
try must increase their premium in
come for fire and tightening bust
ness by at least $5O,O00,000 annual
ly, to SECURE a fair and REASONABLE
underwriting profit. xs<

GASOLINE FROM COAL

The worldwide problem OF what
nations will do when the rapidly
dwindling oil supply gives out, was
being thrashed out recently at the
Pennsylvania State College where
scores of the leading chemists of the
United States and some from Europe
assembled for the Institute OF Chem
istry conducted on the college camp
us by the American Chemical So
ciety.
Gasoline from coal is being made
successfully, it has developed in this
series of lectures which started with
addresses by Prof. Hugh S. Taylor,
of Princeton University, DR.. Eric X.
Rideal, Cambridge University, Eng
land, and DR.. Hans Tropsch, leading
Investigator in this field in Germany
The expense of production is natur-
ally higher than from petroleum, but
the process is accepted as practical
and will supply gasoline from coal
as long as the worlds coal supply
lasts, which is estimated to be as
high as 200 years at the present rate
of consumption.
AS chemists produce better grades
of gasoline. automotive engineers are
developing engines that will give
many more miles to the gallon by in
creasing the compression in the en-
CINE cylinders. Thirty to fifty miles
per gallon have been predicted fol
the future as mot impossible.
