White House Fire
And Capitol Blaze
Remain UnsOlved

Reports as Mysteries.
Repair Fund Is Asked.

Two famous fires, that Christmas
eve at the White House and the post
New Year blaze at the Capitol, went
down in governmental reports AS I'M
solved mysteries when the time came
to pay the repair bills.
Chairman Wood of the House appro-
priations committee was sufficiently
curious to ask What caused that?" as
each f1re came up for consideration
IN the first deficiency bill, reported
today.
We have not been able to deter
mine that any further than We con-
slider 1t was either caused by spon-
taneous combustion or by somebody
smoking" David Lynn, Capitol archi-
tect. said of the Capitol fire.
1t is not perfectly clear" Lieut.. Col.
U. 5. Grant, Sd, director of public
buildings, reported on the White House
fire.
We do not know specifically the
source OF the fire. but We are sure it
was not due to any trouble with the
electric wiring. 1t seems likely, or
possible. that it either started in the
attic, as fires do, from spontaneous
combustion of cleaning materials of
some Kind, or it is possible that it
started from a spark coming out of an
old hue and starting a fire in one Of
the partitions
The Capitol fire was mere $4,000
item. while the White House fire re-
suited in 100000 item for rebuild
ing.

The business of the Company has
always been conducted under the
exacting provisions of the Canadian
Insurance law and the rigid supervision
of the Insurance Department of the
Government of Canada. Ever since
we entered the United States in 1895.
the Company has been under similar
supervision there and is now subject
to the regulations of thirty-eight States
of the Union which require periodical
examination of the affairs of all COM
panles licensed in their territory. In
the discharge of their regular duties a
committee of twenty-five examiners,
representing the States of Michigan,
Massachusetts,, Minnesota, Ohio, Ten
nessee, Washington, Virginia, West
Virginia, Florida and the District of
Columbia recently completed an ex-
haustive examination into every de-
partment of the Company's affairs. The
report of this committee makes
gratifying reference to the liberal
treatment accorded to our policy
holders, and provides authoritative
testimony to the Company's strength.
Even adopting the low valuations
placed by us on our securities, the
committee still reported surplus at
the close of last year 81, 1888, o21.71 in
excess OF the figure claimed by the

New policies paid for numbered i6i ,3o1 for
a net amount of 654,4S1, 1927, an advance
of $213, 200, 1926, or more than forty eight
per cent, over the previous year. This
marked increase and the fact that the average

ing popularity of the Company.

total assurances in force amount to $2,4Oi,-
237 ,036.o4, an increase of $500, 321 ,1O2.3
This advance is notable not merely for its
magnitude, but because when allowance is
made for examinations by death and maturity,
it represents a remarkably high rate of con-
tinuance and evidences great satisfaction on
the part of our policyholders.
The amount paid to policyholders since
