ample. the average net yearly cost
Of a $4,000 policy, at age 35, on
the ordinary life form is about
$4,000. The cost of the policy,
under a limited payment form,
fully paid-up in 90 years is about
$4,000 and the cost of the same
policy, under the 20-year endow.
ment form, where the policy is
payable to the insured in cash at
the end Of 20 years, is about $3.50.
If the insured should die, at any
time. his family receives just as
much under one form as the other
and of course, the insurance
would have cost, in case of death,
very much less under the ordinary
life form.
In further explanation, suppos4
ing the insured has a policy, un.
der the ordinary life form, and
is still alive at the end of 20
years and wishes he had taken. in
lieu of the ordinary life form,
the limited payment form. which
is paid up in 90 years, or the erl,,
dowment form by which he would
receive the cash at the end Of 20
years. The company will ex-s
change for him, at that time, or
in fact at any time during the
20 years, his ordinary life form
to either the limited payment or
endowment form. They would
simply charge him with the cost
which he should have paid for
either Of these forms at the or
iginRl date of issue, at age 35,
although he is now SIS years old.
They would credit him with all
the money he had paid on the
ordinary. life form and all he
would be requested b do would
be to pay the difference in back >
premiums with interest. If the
insured does not have enough
cash to pay this difference in
back premiums, with interest,
the loan value on the policy will 9

animation would be required to-
make this change and any corns'

ALL COMMODITY
GROUPS BREAK
Times staff Photo

When the commodity price in.
dex changed in one week by more
than half a per cent during 1929,
1t was a subject for extraordinary
comment. With the long, serious
decline Of this year, however, such
changes have become common.
Even SO, the fall of the past two
weeks must be considered grave,
when it is considered that last
week every group index, except
that for chemicals. was off.
The situation has found changes
in groups ranging as low as a S
per cent loss for the miscellaneous
block last week, with oils very
weak; 2.3 per cent fall for farm
products, with apples, grains. and
provisions badly off; a l.3 per
cent loss in the foods group, with
flour. sugar. and hams down. and
a 1.3 per cent drop in the hides
and feathers group.
The rate of decline in raw ma
terials was less last week, being
1.9 per cent. compared with the
preceding week, 2.8 per cent. The
rate Of change in semi-manufac-
tured goods was steady at O.37
per cent, while finished goods
were declining ct an increased
rate.
OF the group indexes, farm pro-
ducts, foodstuffs, metals. and
building materials showed in
creased rates Of change last week,
while hides and feathers, textiles,
fuels and chemicals presented q
slightly more favorable outlook.

OVERCOME
Increased Business Activity
This Fall Practically Assur-
ed, Bank Review Says

Increased business activity this
fall seems certain, in the opinion,
Of the monthly review Of The
Bank Of America N. A., which at
the same time characterizes the
current pessimistic business atti-
tude as being as much overdone
as was the undue optimism Of the,
early spring. ~
"The marketing Of crops and n
usual seasonal demands Ordi-
narily bring about an increase "
in busines activity in the au.
tumn months and there is no
reason to believe that this au-
tumn will be any exception to ,,
the general rule" the review n
says. "The extent Of this revi- /.

are already apparent and the s
possible term Of its duration, it :.
is impossible to Judge. In any =.
case, il will be q step in our m
general progress toward better d,
CCVMOmAC COuUASAOnS.
The review adds that although
commodity prices may not yet be
at bottom, a price level eventual
ly is reached where essential
goods begin to move into conSun1-
ing channels fairly readily. The
present low level of stocks Of
goods in consumers hands is eX-
pected to result in demand at
the first sign of returning
activity.
"a decline in retail prices in . .
number of important lines to . gtE
point more nearly in adjustment
to the wholesale level has been joa
an encouraging development i'm 20
the past month" the review con- 10
tinues. Except in minor in- & 3
stances, these downward re- q.
visions have met with very little
response in increased buying. ~
This may. be accounted for to 81
some extent by the fact that the 81
changes for the most part have 5hi
occurred during . period OF
seasonal quiet and to the pessi- q 4
niStic attitude regarding the &c
economic outlook which has s1
gained much ground during the
past several weeks" a.t
Discussing various angles of the
business situation, the review y
notes that money continues easy
with demand relatively light; that
the outlook seems to favor a corr
tinuatiOn of low money rates until
the fall demand develops; that .
no further important changes in
iron and steel prices are antici-
pated for the immediate future;
that building contracts awarded
in July set a high mark since
July, 1929, a substantial increase,
and that automobile construction j.
also showed an increase in the
second week of July.

LIFE INSURANCE
PROV|DESFOR
FUTURE
Abundancy of Present Used to
Care for 0Id-Age Uncer.
tainty, Expert Points Out
By FRANK r. LOOMS

ny EGAEAANA Es AOOWA10
Life insurance, simply defined,
means providing out Of the
abundancy of the present for the
uncertainty Of the future. It is q
mighty good plan to make the
first half Of life take care of
the second half.
Prospects will often say that
life insurance costs too muchl
But they have never figured out
the cost Of being without life
insurance! The highest price
ever paid for life insurance is
paid by the families Of men who
die without availing themselves
Of its great benefits. Their de.
pendents pay in shattered faith,
want Of clothing, food etc.
Insurance Need
The longer q man goes without
life insurance the more he needs
it, the less chance he has of get
ting it and the more it costs him
If he does get it. Many q man
has delayed taking out life in
Surance because Of hot irons he
had in the fire, without thinking
what a task it would be for his
wife to take these irons out were
he disabled or should he die.
There is not q single reason
that O family man can advance
against insurance now that his
widow will not some day, and
perhaps soon, consider very fool
ish. There is nothing more un-
certain than life and nothing
more certain than life insurance.
The reports received from life
insurance companies indicate that
approximately $65. 100000 has
been paid out in the past year
on life insurance policies. which
have been in force for only one
year or less. In numerous cases,
these deaths occurred before there
was even time to deliver the
policy, premium having been paid
for when the application was
made.
Cost and Benefits
The cost and benefits Of the
ordinary form Of life insurance is
practically the same in any old
line legal reserve life insurance
company and it is, of course, the
cheapest form Of life insurance
there is. All other forms Of So
called limited payment and en-
dowment policies are based on
the ordinary life rate. No one
can ever make a mistake by pur-
chasing a policy on the ordinary
straight life rates. which means
that the same rate is payable for
life.
If the insured desired the pol
icy paid up at the end Of a GER
tain period, say 10, is, or 20
years. he simply pays the COM
pany enough more than the cost
of an ordinary life form to ac-
complish this. This policy is
Ca1lcu u l4IA41JCO pdSAACAA1 AOAAA'
II the insured wishes to have
the face of the policy paid to him
in cash at a given time, say 10,
is or 20 years, he simply pays
the company enough more than
the ordinary life rate to accom-
plish this. This is called an
endowment policy.
No Mistakes
The reason that no mistake can
be made in selecting a policy on
the ordinary life rate at the start
is because any company will, at
any time, change the policy from
the ordinary life form to the lin
tied payment or endowment policy
Il the insured so desires. AS an ex
