INSURANCE BUSINESS
GAINS IN so YEARS

A study Of life insurance reveals a
steady growth, proof OF the increasing
recognition of its value Fifty years
ago annual sales totaled approximately
$200000,000 less than half the volume
sold during the poorest month of 1881.
During the next 10 years sales increased
to $l,000,000C0O in 1890, a gain of
about 400 per cent. During the next
20 years the growth was steady but
more gradual; by 1910 annual sales
reached almost s2,000,000 900.
The next decade, from 1910 to 1920,
was one of unprecedented growth.
Every year sales increased until in 1920
the country purchased about S8,000,-
100000 OF new life insurance.
This represented an increase of over
$4,000, 100000 in annual sales in 10
years. In 1921 the volume fell off
somewhat but from 1921 to 1929 everv
year showed gain until the peak was
reached in 1929

Spec cial Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 22-Rallying
tendencies made their appearance in
the stock market again today. The re-
covery included nearly all groups, the
only notable exception being the oils.
There was no change in fundamental
conditions. The foreign situation con-
tlrued TO create concern, and not much
satisfaction was expressed over the
course OF events at Washington. 1t was
hoped that the plan to tide the RAILWAYS
over tne emergency would go through
but otherwise not much was expected
from that source.
Oils Under Pressure.
Selling in Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey was conspicuous, because it was
simultaneous with strength elsewhere
IN the list. Both Standard of New
Jersey and Standard of California
made new lows for the bear market.
TWO explanations were offered. one
that II was a case Of taxing tax losses
and the other that a special account
was being liquidated. Certainly there
was nothing IN the oil trade itself or
IN the affairs Of the corporation con-
cerned to justify any change Of atti-
tuoe toward the stock. Bethlehem
Steel was offered rather freely and
came down to within a fraction of its
previous low. In view of the situation
IN the industry, it would not be sur

Gently eXerted against American Tele-

ness IN that issue was plainly another
case OF liquidation for causes not con-
nected with earnings, present or pros

PHOENIX, Nov. 20.-Gov. George
w. P. Hunt was appraised yester-
day in a letter from Edward N.
Hurley, chairman of the Chicago
Citizens committee on Republican
and Democratic national conven-
lions, that an invitation had been
extended by Gov. Louis E. Emer-
son of Illinois to both parties to
hold their national meetings in Chi
cago in June and July of next year.
The Illinois governor pointed out
in his invitation that new con-
vention hall with a seating capac-
ity of $4,000 would be ready for
early summer and promised a pre-
view of the 1888 Chicago Worlds
fair for the delegates to the con-
vention.
Arizona, the record shows, sent
IL Democrats and nine Republicans
to the 1928 convention of the two
parties, In those meetings, the
Democrats had 1854 delegates and
the Republicans, 1,127.

BUSINESS TREND
UPWARD SAYS
EXPRESS AGENT

Confident that unfavorable
though improving economic condi-
lions will not interfere with the old
American custom of swapping holi-
day gifts, the Railway Express Ag-
ency has prepared for a heavy
Christmas package traffic during
the next few weeks.
Nearly two million special holi-
day package address labels of a new
design bearing the words do Not
Open Until Christmas have been
issued and are being distributed to
the public, j. R. Curry, agent of the
company here, announced yesterday
Rejecting general business condi-
tons, the express traffic of the
United States has had its ups and
down Mr.. Curry said, but the pre-
sent trend is upward
Proper packing of gifts with due
consideration to the fragile nature
Of the commodity, is urged by Mt
Curry who says that much of the
holiday traffic comes from infre-
quent shippers not always familiar
with the essentials of a GOOD pack
ing.
The complete and legible address
ing of packages is of vital import
ance as illegible or incorrect
Marks often cause delays in tran
sit. Owing to the growth of so many
small towns which have become siz-
able cities, express people urge that
the complete street and number OF
the receiver of a package be indi-
Gated in the address.
Care in writing the names OF
states, especially wiIc.l abbrevia-
lions are used, is also important.
There are dozens of cities and
towns Of the same name located in
different states. If the state is alb
breviated in such way as to sug-
gest the wrong state location, pack
ages may go astray, no matter what
care is taken by the transportation
people in handling them.

DOCTOR ANNA SNOCK BUYS ESPL HOTEL
PROMINENT LOCAL WOMAN
BUYS HOTEL PROPERTY AND
WILL OPEN RESTORIUM SOON
New Venture Expected To Be Opened BY First
Of December; Twenty Rooms Will
Be Furnished Immediately

DIR. Anna Mae Sm0ck, prom
inent Nogales woman, has pur-
chased the Esplendor Hotel from
d.. p. d. Clagett, it was an
nOunced at the meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce, Thurs
day night, by Mayor Harry ].
Harms.
IT am authorized by DR.. Smock to
announce that she has taken over
the hotel and will open it, to begin
with, as a restorium", said the may
or, who further explained that it
will be neither a hoted nor a sani-
tarium. It will be sort of combin-
alton of guest ranch, sanitarium and
hotel.
The Mayor also said that DR..
Smock hopes TO have the place OPP
en- and ready to receive guests by
December l and that she will i'm
med:ately furnish at least 20 rooms,
dining room and kitchen, and later
on, as the business grows, will OPP
en- up further wings of the beautiful
hotel building.
DR.. Smock, in opening the hotel,
is not asking for financial support
from Nogales but is asking for the
moral support of the physicians OF
this city, Mayor Harms said.
! DR.. Smock, it was stated by the
Mayor, may possibly erect some
stables near the hotel and purchase
some horses for the use of guests
The restorium will be nationally adj
vertised, he said.
ct recommend that this Chamber
of Commerce and everybody in gen.
eral in Nogales lend their moral
support to this venture, stated the
Mayor.
DR.. Smock is a graduate nurse and
a very capable woman in all hel
undertakings and it is felt that il
anyone can make the hotel property
a paying enterprise she is the one
who can do it.
The Esplendor was erected several
years ago at cost of several hun
dred thousand dollars and twice was
opened as hotel and twice closed
News that the Esplendor would
again begin operating and this time
as an enterprise such as Dr. Smock
is undertaking was received with
much delight throughout the city
