THE UNION LIFE

President John n. Lawler of the
Union Life Insurance Company of
Virginia, was a far-seeing organizer.
Despite the fact that his company is
mourning his demise, the wheels of
business are industriously turning.
The mighty machinery gives no signs
of slowing up, despite this great ca
lamity. A visit to this great insur-
ance office in the Law Building in this
city found every officer and clerk at
their posts of duty.
Active agents are swarming in with
new applications and arrangements
have already been made to pay claims
just as promptly as though the great
leader was still at his post of duty.
1t seems like the "irony Of fate" that
just as the company was enjoying its
greatest prosperity, the practically
tireless president should have been
stricken.
His sorrowing widow has taken up
the threads of business just where he
left off and able assistants have re-
doubled their efforts to keep up the
same speed as when normal conditions
and no beloved chieftain had been laid
low. Those, who knew Mr.. LAWYER
were fully conscious of his noble char
acteristics, his sympthy for the poor
and distressed, his desire to give more
than any other company would offer
in order for him and his to keep in
front"
We urge his many admirers to in
crease their efforts to build up the
Union Life Insurance Company of
Virginia. The company is destined to
prove greater boon and stay for its
patrons. President LAWYERS plans
are being carried out and the present
force of trained experts are able to
carry them out to their full fruition.
Ample assets are available to enable
the present officers to carry out every
obligation and to put into effect the
additional suggestions and offers,

 Shortly after this resignation had been accepted, those of Phillip Fa- gan and Ernest W. Midrum were received and accepted. There wa, no definite reason stated in the last two resignations beyond the fact that the members were dissatisfied with the procedure of the board and the cooperation of the voters of the town.
 Over 2o0 Athletes in Meet
 Bring on your Genes and Jacks of the tstic ring, your Paddocks and Barbittis of the track. season the lot with Weismuller and let the band play Laugh, Clown, Laugh" and what have you got-Kensington Percival avenue field, in the glory of it's most exciting track and field meet.
 Over 250, scrambling, yelling, en- thusiastic boys and girls surround ed by curious mob of onlookers watching, and in some cases helping their offsprings, attended the track and field meet, last night, at the kensington field. The meet, spon- sored by the Kensington. Boys club, and under the leadership of Rev. Vernon Philips began at 6 and last cd until 9, even though the pie eat ing contest was a fzzle, as far as , the directors of the meet were con- cerned. The town was ransacked for pie-one with a superfuity of coloring-but as blueberries were , out of season apple served as a poor substitute.
 During the height of the meet, the second battle of the century al most took place. A little fracas- l but the promoters of the project were in for all they could get out of | it, and absolutely prohibited the 1 fight to take place until after the natural course of ballyhoo. The press agents claim it is stupendous and will outlast the comment caused by the fight of the long count, at Chicago. It is booked to take place in the near future and theNorices will ! be reasonable.
 So successful was the meet that another one will take place this eye ming in East Berlin, under the aus pices of the East Berlin Community association and directed by Leonard Black of the County ~"

 Blue Hills Section Change Property values in the Blue Hills section are increasing with the cur rent report that there will be q large f development there in the near 1 future. A. J. SlOper of New Britain ! has bought the old Larson farm in that section and is having it developed and the trees on the place attended to, according to reports i from that section yesterday. There remains little doubt that in a shor- time several prominent citizens of New Britain will have bought up ! farms in that section and will have them developed for summer homes, it is said. It has long been rumored that such action has been con tcmplated.
 The present occupants of the Lar son property will remain there un- . Ut Spi HE, but III tllt ilttlll JlliI' there are tree experts working on the preservation of the old elms and naples that surround the house.
 With this development in view, there is every probability that tho road will be repaired connecting the farms with New Britain. Residents of the section have long been trying to have a hard road laid in that section, an( sec the new develop ments as a method of reaching their goal.

INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY
IN U. S. SHOWS DROP
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 16.-Based on
the consumption of electrical energy
in $500 manufacturing plants, indus
trial activity in the United States dur
ing November was 81 per cent under
October, and 7.8 per cent under Novem-
Der, 1928, which indicates a somewhat
more than normal seasonal curtailment
of general manufacturing operations
Electrical World reports. The average
monthly industrial activity for the first
IL months of the current year, however
was 81 per cent above operations for
the same period last year. Three factors
were given as the cause for this decline;
the usual seasonal decrease, hesitation
due to the stock market movements and
reaction from the special rise in gen.
eral manufacturing activity which be-
gan during the Fall months of last year
Comparing current plant operations
with the same time last year, two manu-
featuring groups reported a gain, eight
reported drop and one group--lumber
products-reported activity the same as
last year. BY comparison with Novem
per- 1928, the greatest drop was reported
by the automobile industry with 30.4
per cent decrease. Rubber products
came next with 2l4 per cent, rolling
mills and steel plants, 172 per cent, and
textiles, 1873 per cent.

Liquidation in the securities markets
and lower interest rates now prevailing
in this country, with consequent with
drawal of Canadian funds, doubtless
will show their effect eventually in some
improvement in Canadian exchange,

But. in the opinion of the bank, more
direct assistance than that will be re-
uuired to bring the Canadian dollar
back to par.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
AS PRICES DECLINE
Says Under Renewed
Notwithstanding
Dull.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSH,
Associated Press Financial Editor.


NEW YORK, December Is. - The
stock market began the new week with
extreme hestitancy today. The highly
checkered market of last week, inter-
rupting the rapid rally from the low of
Mid-November, appeared to have injec-
ted new note of uncertainty into
market sentiment and there was a note
worthy tendency to tighten accounts
and curtail operations pending definite
evidence OF a trend.
Trading Dull.
Trading was dull and popular shares
were inclined to sag, with conspicuous
heaviness in the utilities, where losses
ran as high as points or more. The
news of the day and the week end was
rather negative in character, and served
only to intensity the market uncer-P ;
tainty. Failure of the Interstate Com
merce Commission to announce over
the week end it's consolidation plan.
which was widely expected, was disap-
pointing and caused considerable profit
taking in investment rail shares, al
though there was some speculative ac-
tivity in non-dividend payers
Call money held at Az per cent, but
was available in the outside market at
4. The demand was light, however,
and underlying credit conditions were
not tested. Other monetary rates we're
unchanged. The large turnover of funds
incident to the Treasury refinancing
failed to cause ripple in the money
markets. Foreign exchanges were firm
and continued outflow of gold was in
d1cated. 1t was rumored that the French
government plans reparation Of large
balances held here.
Foreign Trade Figures.
November foreign trade figures we're
fairly satisfactory, showing a substan-
tial increase in exports, but a still larger
increase in imports. Reports over the
week end indicated further slackeninR
of steel mill activity, but considerable
confidence in the outlook for early next
year.
Fox Film A was sent up points on
reports of a favorable plan of re-
organization by the newly appointed
trustees, but more than lost its gain
when official confirmation could not be
obtained. Coppers were largely slug
glSh, but Phelps Dodge was bid up more
than points in active trading.
The decline in the general list &C
quired considerable momentum as the
selling of United States Steel forced
that stock down points. General
Electric was off az and du Pont,
Johns Manville, Eastman Kodak, Ameri-
can Foreign Power, Timken Roller
Bearing and United States Industrial
Alcohol were among the shares ruling
to points lower in the final hour
The close was weak.
