INSURANCE FIRMS
CHANGE OPINIONS
ON AIR TRAVEL

NEW YORK, Aug. 6. U.P) -
Twenty-four out of 25 of the larg-
est life insurance companies, writ
ing hundreds Of millions Of dollar;
worth of insurance, have altered
their attitude toward air trave
and their policies now cover pas
sengers travelling on regular trans
port air lines, the United Air Lines
report.
In addition to paying the full
face of the premium in the event
of an airplane accident, approx
mately half of the companies said
they would, in addition, pay the
double indemnity provision.
This general attitude of insur-
ance companies is radically differ
ent from regulations of few years
ago, when most life insurance COM
panies would not pay the face value
of a policy if death occurred in an
airplane accident. Today, the ma
jority of companies make no prohi-
bition against air travel, either ir
policies already in effect, or which
are nov being written.
Removal of restrictions against
flying by insurance companies is
the result of the operating record
made by companies flying licensed
planes.

That Imperial county is becom-
ing a more healthy place in which
to live is shown in an annual re-
port recently prepared by DR.. War
rem F. Fox, county public health
officer, covering practically every
branch of health in the county.
The general death rate, from all
causes, shows a decrease over the
past year, while infectious and
communicable diseases are on the
decline, the report showed.
DR.. Fox took this occasion to
warn cities Of Imperial county
more strictly TO enforce ordinances
governing animals, pointing out the
steady increase in rabies during the
past five years.
After summary of work done by
the health department in schools
and general work during the past
year, the report went on to outline
the aims of the health department.
These include:
Coordination of all public health
activities in the county under the
county health department and de-
velopment of an adequate public
health nursing system.
Administration of vital statistics
for the entire county under the
health department
Capitalization of milk inspection

EXECUTIONS BY
CUILLOTINE MAY
BE DISCONTINUED

PARIS, Aug. 6. UP)-The death
penalty and with it the guillotine
as the official machine of execution
in France, may be banished by a
vote of parliament if the chamber
of deputies acts upon the project
just introduced by Rene Richard.
The criminal legislation committee
will spend the summer considering
the change.
The execution of Sacco and Van
zetti is mentioned in the project
as an example of a possible mis-
carriage of justice and is used as
the basic argument in seeking the
abolition of the death penalty. In
stead, the project would sentence
criminals, ordinarily sent to the
guillotine, to life Imprisonment at
hard labor.
The guillotine is as old as the
French republic, for the first re-
public came in with the execution
of thousands of mobiles and royal
lists, at which time the guillotines
worked day and night for weeks
in the Place de la Concorde and
other great squares.
The guillotine dates as the Off
cial execution machine in France
since 1892 and was named for DR..
Guillotin, although it was known
to the masses as the "LouiSon" and
"Louisette." because it had behead-
ed Louis XVI. Since then it has
beheaded 1000 criminals.
