d. C. Insurance Gains

The volume of ordinary life insur-
ance sold in the District of Colum-
bia reached $5,067,000 last month,
an increase of per cent over sales
in the same month last year, ac-
cording to the Life Insurance Sales
Research Bureau, which has as
sembled figures showing that sales
the country over in February mark
it as the highest February on
record.
Although life insurance sales
ordinarily fall off the first .wO
months of the year and reach 17w
high points in March, May and
December, statistics compiled for
. the District of Columbia for these
two months actually show an in
crease of 10 per cent over January
and February of 1928, the bureaus $
compilation discloses.
The improvement in this city was
general throughout the IL months
ended February 20, the sales for
this period being in the ratio of ITO
to the volume recorded here in the
nreceding IL months. Forty per
cent of the companies operating in
Washington reported gains in Feb
A volume of $744,573,OOO of ordi-
nary insurance was reported last
month for the country as a whole.
This represents per cent ill
crease over sales ia February, 1928,
ard a 10 per cent gain over Feb
rrary, 1927. For the first two
months of 1929 every section in the
United States shows an increase.
The average for the United States
as a whole is a gain of 10 per cen.
over the same two-month period Of
1928.

Ambassador, in Theory,
Ranks Above Minister

An ambassador is head of an en-
bassy and minister Is head of a
legation. Under international law
and usage an ambassador is the per-
sonal representative of the sovereign
or head OF state and is accredited
directly to the head or sovereign of
another state. a minister is, under
international law and usage, the rep
resentative of the government Gas
distinct from the head of the state)
and is accredited to the government
of another state. Theoretically an
ambassador has the right to con
verse directly with the sovereign or
the head of the state to which he is
accredited, and likewise may CORE
spond directly with the sovereign or
head of his own country. minister.
on the other hand, in theory carries
on his correspondence with the min
lister of foreign affairs of the state
to which he is accredited, and SINH
larry corresponds with his own gov
eminent through the minister of for
eign affairs of his own country. In
practice the duties of an ambassa-
dor and minister are the same.s AT
a social and official function an am
bassador, on account of his superior
rank, takes precedence over a min
lister.

Atlantic Coast Plain

Piedmont plain Is name used IN
the physiography of the United States
to designate that part Of the Atlantic
coast plain which lies between the
Appalachian highland and the low
coastal plain proper. II Is distin
guished from the latter Topographic
calIy by being more rugged and eroded
with deeper river valleys and geo.
logically by consisting Of much older
and harder rock strata. The change
from the hard to the soft and recent
formation is marked by definite line
of escarpments over which nearly all
the Atlantic rivers fall in rapids or
cataracts. and he line is known as the
"Fall Line" The Piedmont plain is
less defined in New England than in
the southern states. It is narrowest
and also approaches closest to the sea
in New York and broadens southwark,
being about 300 miles wide in North
Carolina.

Plants That Produce
Both Food and Water

In some tropical or subtropical coun-
tries there is regular alienation of
wet and dry seasons. There are found
plants that grow rapidly during the
rainy season, producing leaves, flow
ers and fruit within a short period
Some Of these then die outright with
the coming of the dry season, and are
started anew from seeds at the return
of favorable conditions. Others make
the usual growth of leaves, flowers and
fruit, and in addition produce bulbs,
tubers. rootstocks and f1eshy roots I'M

gcound structures, such plants keep
a;ive through the dry season, and are
enabled to make very rapid growth
when favorable conditions return.
The amount of food materials and
water stored in these structures Is re-
markable. Fleshy roots weighing more
