Keep Insurance
 Policies Going
Their Lapse Works Hard-
 ships on Survivors

The number who pay on insur- ance policies, but are always behind is so large one wonders what peo- pie who hand out good money in this way are thinking. They let the premiums run over beyond the time limit. This Is all right so long as nothing happens, but death comes to many when they least expect it., and If you are insured and have not paid up the premiums you have no just claim against the company.
 Attention has been called to this matter on and off for years. but the records show that many turn a deaf ear to the warnings. Money lost by individuals is one of the reasons why insurance companies get rich.
 The Boston Traveller treats this subject under the heading, They Let It Lapse" as follows:
 Approximately 30.000 persons died in 1880 whose life insurance policies totaling about $30.000, ,000. had bena flowed to lapse within the previous year.
 What tragedy!
 It seems impossible that in every case 1t was necessary for the in
  Facts gathered by the Weekly Un- derwriter and Insuronce Press show the importance of hanging on to in- surance to the last ditch.
 "A man with n wife and nine children let his policy lapse on May 25. and on June dropped dead. The insurance agent said:
 ''I would rather have taken a whipping than to. tell the widow the policy kas no good"
 An insurance company received a letter from a man on Aug 12 or dering that his S20.000 term policy be cancelled. On Sept the com pany received a letter from the mans widow, asking for forms in order to collect on the policy. The man had died. Aug jl.
 On the other hand, the statistics gathered show that during 1880 insurance companies in this country paid approximately 160. 400 death claims for total of s64, 100000 on policies that had been taken out less than a year before. But an im- portant point should be stressed right here. When you sign your name on the dotted line of an tn- surance application, jlank down your money for the first premium.
 Life insurance is not the most pleasing of topics. but 1t is better to discuss it intelligently before hand than to discuss it with a wid- ow whose husband failed to under stand 1t.

LEAGUE COUNCIL MEETS TO-DAY TO
 PREPARE REPORT
The Members Are Getting Ready for Annual As- sembly of League of Nations on Sept 7
BY HENRY WOOD (TTnffad v1p0se Copracnon1npt

Geneva, Sept 1. (UP)-The 64th session of the League of Nations council convened to-day to pre- pare final reports for the 18th an- nual league assembly which begins Sept 2.
 The council with it's present membership, met to-day for the last time as three new members will be elected at the next assembly to succeed Spain, Persia, and Por- tugal.
 Spanish Foreign Minister Ale- jandro Lerroux presided at to- days session. Representation of important powers was altered radi- cally by recent political develop ments.
 Viscount Cecil leads the British delegation, thus breaking tradition followed since 1924 that the for eign secretary leads his majesty's delegates.
 Arthur Henderson resigned as foreign secretary immediately pro- ceeding the fall of the late labor government and the Marquess of Reading, his successor, remains in London to aid the national govern ment in meeting Britain's financial emergency.
 Fracois Poncet, French under- secretary of the presidency, re- places the veteran Aristide Briand, whose health prevents him attend ing the session. Recent differences with Premier Pierre Laval are said to have weakened Briand's posi- ton.
 Dr Julius Curtius heads the Ger man delegation as foreign minister but his authority will be com promised pending a settlement of the legality of the proposed cus- toms union with Austria. The council will be obliged to take final action on the "Anschluss'' based on the advisory opinion 1t request ed from the Hague court and on the decisions of the recent seven power conference in London which recommended measures for Ger many's financial rehabilitation.
 Other important matters to re- ceive the councils consideration include Franco-Russ and Ger man-Polish fon-aggression pacts; possible postponement of the world disarmament conference; creation. of an international bank for exportation; and authorization of the leasue's permanent finance committee to receive requests from nations for international loans and to negotiate the loans with banking groups. -

join hands in their common inter- est, they would control the nation. l am not talking about political control, nor do 1 mean third party. l am talking economic control for the greatest good of the greatest number, which is the ob- ject of all government.
 Governor Pinchot referred to the action of Pennsylvania in talk ing over the maintainance of 20,- 900 miles of country roads as an example of Tightening the farm CTS tax burden. Another was the states action in increasing state subsidy to smaller country schools.
 Regarding the tariff, the govern or said:
 'I believe in the protection of American workers. But that pro- lection must not be limited to peo- pie who live in towns. If protec- tion is sound policy for industry, why is it not a sound policy for agriculture?
 "I believe in the equalization fee. An agricultural tariff does not in | practice gives protection to the | more important farm crops be- cause their price is fixed in a world market. That is where the equalization fee comes in. 1 be- lieve it is the most hopeful plan yet devised for putting the farmer on the basis of economic equality Governor Pinchot emphasized that in urging an extra session of congress to deal with relief this winter, he did not ask for the dole. "The dole is money paid to the idle," he said. "I ask for food for those who cannot get work"
 ''I ask for an extra session be- cause the task is so gigantic that we cannot afford delay. More than anything else we need to put the interests of the plain people first. We need to kepe in mind that the purpose of our political system is not unclean money but free men.
 But unclean money has come to the front-money gouged from the people by excessive and unfair rates for electricity, gas, water and transportation. by pyramided stock and grasping holding com panies. by write-ups and million other shady tricks. Our people know they are not getting a square deal.
 "The farmer ought to come into his own. The most valuable cit izen of any country is the man who owns the land from which he makes his living. am against treating the farmer any longer as the orphan child of American pol itics."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-09-01

Sedalia, Mo, Sept 1.-UP)- Calling upon the farmers and the laboring men of America to stand together against the special inter- ests," Governor Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania, in speech before the Missouri Farmers association here to-day, urged lower taxes and a protective tariff for the farmer and a special session of congress to deal with unemployment relief.
 "This depression has shown us that the thing labor wants most of all Is a market" he said, that the thing the farmer wants most of all is q market. The best mar ket for labor is the farmer; the best market for the farmer IS la bor. Neither can be prosperous unless the purchasing power of the other is sustained.
 '1n the light of their real inter- ests the worker in the field and the worker on the pavement are not competitors but partners. There can be no real antagonism between them.
 Labor and farmer are cheated by the same people, despised by the same people, exploited by the same people and kept apart by the same people. Yet too often labor and the farmer let these same peo- pie run their politics for them.

ISLE OF MAN IS
 MOURNING FOR
 SIR HALL CANE
Famous Novelist \ and Dramatist Died at Gree ba Castle, His Home, Last Night

Ramsay, Isle of Man, Sept l. (UP)-The Isle of Man mourned today the passing of it's most famous son, Sir Hall Caine, novel; ist and dramatist who died at Greeba Castle, his home, last night. Lung congestion caused the novel; ist's death after several days of a vain battle for recovery. Sir Hall died before finishing his Life of Christ" considered an outstanding literary effort when he was forced to abandon work on 1t year ago.
 Sir Hall lived at Greeba Castle with his family as small boy. Scenes from many of his writings were taken from the picturesque surroundings in which he grew to manhood. Sir Halls wife and two sons were at his bedside when he died at 10:55 pI m.
 Sir Hall Caine was born at Runcon, Cheshire, but was taken to the Isle of Man as boy. He left school early and was appren- ticed to an architect. At 15 he met Gladstone, and although greatly impressed by the statesman, de- clined an opportunity to become his stewart. He was a great friend of the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but was never converted to spirit ualism.
 When they receive a second Gettysburg address from the shade of Abraham Lincoln, I will believe we are in touch with the next world" he was once quoted as saying.
 Sir Hall died at the age of 7S, after an active writing career of more than 50 years. He begin with newspaper work in Liverpool but went to London while still a young man and lived with the poet, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, until the latter's death.
 Hail Gaines early works were critical and biographical. He be- gan his meteoric career as a novel; ist in 1885 with Shadow of A Crime" His succeeding works, many of them famous wherever English is read, included "Son of Hagar," "The Deemster," "The Bondman," "The Scapegoat," "The Manxman," "The Christian "The Eternal City The Prodigal Son. The White Prophet" "Thg Wo- man Thou Gavest Me, "The Mas ter ol Man."
 His books were great successes on the stage and later in the nov ies. In addition, he wrote original plays and an original movie, Oar by and Joan"
 'The Eternal City" was written from material obtained on a visit to Rome. and caused storm of controversy. Evidence of the box office value of his plays was giv- en once when a producer sued him for failing to write a play, as agreed.
 After Shakespeare, he (Caine) draws more money in the country than any other dramatist," the producer testified in court.
 Of his own work, Caine once said
 "The popularity of my work Is due not so much to its excellence but to its elemental appeal. From first to last they have lived to eX- press the words, No man is lost until his soul Is lost"
