pr. Spencer's Plan.
Seattle Times.)

In thoughtful and well-worded address tC the American Legion, of which he is member Dr. Matthew Lyle Spencer, President of the Uni versity of Washington takes firm yet not wholly unconstructive stand, against military training as now carried on in the colleges and schools. He de- plores the tendency to ascribe all opposition to training as due to communistic impulse and propa- ganda and urges upon the Legion and the people generally better understanding of some practical aspects of the matter.
 Speaking before the State Convention of the Legion at Belngham, Dr. Spencer declared that thsre has been material change in type of military training in the past thirty years; that the schools still are training infantry combat troops whereas in his opinion, infantry will play de- creasingly important part in any war or wars that may come. He would modernize the training, so that the schools may produce and more of the scientists and technicans necessary to future military operations and to attain that end he asks the cooperation of a special committee Of the Legion with the faculty committee of the University which so long has been wrestling with the ques- tion.
 Dr. Spencer makes it quite clear that be- tween the present type of training and none at all he would be in favor of none; but in settng out the possibilities of another type of training his suggestions carry a considerable measure Of con viction There is, however, flaw in his reasoning from the premise that preparedness for war is the sole purpose. No thoughtful citizen favoring mlll- tary training has in mind the creation of student army to be sent to the front for first sacrifice The physical benefits the mental discipline, are of more instant importance; and their eduring values have been proved in literally thousands of men who have gone from the campus into the peaceful pur- suits of business and professional life. Boys now in college will need and those values later on. It is questionable if they can be conferred by any amount of scientific and technical instruc- tion.
 pr. Spencers address confirms the belief that his faculty committee with his knoweldge and sanction is in mood to recommend abolition of military training but his offer of collaboration with an advisory committee of the Legion opens the way, not to doubtful compromise, but to less con- troversal consideration of the points he has raised with respect to improved and more modern training program.

A MONKEY SHOW.

One of the anomalies of Prohibition is the of fical order of the Prohibition Director that Pro hbiton enforcers must quit drinking liquor.
 Of course, they won't quit, and Col Woodcocl probably knows they won't But the necessity fol the order suggests the question: how does Col Woodcock expect to compel the rest of the 122 100000 or more Americans to quit?
 It also suggests the need for another Prohibi. ton enforcement force One to enforce Prohibition among the Prohibition enforcers.
 What a monkey show Uncle Sam and his Pro- hbition are giving the world!

PARIS, Sept. 18.-M u t ton leg sleeves, relics of 1890, are back in vogue.
 Although the 1881 mutton leg sleeve is more modified in cut than its 1890 forerunner, it still displays a decided puff at the shoulderline
 Afternoon frocks, evening wraps and day jackets are designed with closefitting lower sleeves and bouf- fant uppers which puff out at the shoulders.

cent selling movement.
Weekend covering was promoted by
relatively steady cables. but the de-
mand was quickly supplied and selling
seemed to be a little more general as
prices broke into new low ground. It
was attributed largely to liquidation,
believed to be partly for European ac-
count. and was sufficient to send the
market of to GAL for May and 997 for

Liverpool cables reported continental

In that market. A private report was
issued here placing the decrease in
acreage at IL per cent and the decrease
In use of fertilizer at A per cent These

of Cases.
Special Dispatch 70 The star.


NEW YORK. May 2.-Despite the
fact that there are SO, 900, 900 holders
OF life insurance policies In the United
states, death benefit will be paid on
less than 10 per cent Of them, asserts
the writer OF an article in the May
number of Fortune. Analysing the sta
tistics contained in the official reports
Of the insurance companies in the
united states. number OF startling
facts are revealed.
There must be something radically
wrong with our system of insurance in
this country. according to Fortune, for
the insured do not stay insured. OF
every 100 policyholderS whose insurance
ended in 1929. only 9 died. -Four re-
ceived payments on matured endow-
ments. Twenty, who had bought In
surance covering less than their ex-
pected span of life, concluded these
term policies. But 81 left the ranks of
the insured BY the simple process Of
disseminating payments. The point de-
termined is that life insurance, broadly
speaking, has not insured life. II so
many insured persons fail to stay in
sured, then insurance must be oversold
or overpriced Cor BOTH, and the COM
pa1ies must be more interested in COL
Ice ing premiums than in insuring lives"
The writer, quoting the official re-
pOELS VI Tie COMPANIES, IlIlQS LEaL TIE
total assets of the life insurance COM
panies are $4,000 900, 600. and that
their income in 1929 was S4,338, 000, 000
The assets Of life insurance companies
are equal II about one-fourth of the
total resources of all United States
banks" says he. THE insurance COM
panies account for about per cent Of
the national income and also possess
about per cent of the national wealth.
Life insurance men congratulate them
selves upon having insured the United
States for $1o8, 500, 100000. But it will
be remarkable II more than $40,
OOO, 900 of this amount reaches more
than 10000, 900 benef1ciaries"
Analysing the balance sheets Of the
10 largest mutual life insurance COM
panies, controlling IS per cent Of the
total business in this country, the
writer finds that only "$17.68 was paid
in death claims In 1929 to every 500
received"
