To have happiness, content,
ment and security in later years,
a man must be financially indie
pendent, and yet statistics reveal
that IS per cent Of all men past
so are, dependent upon others.
The time to make old age pro-
vision is during the productive
years of a mans life.
Retirement income contracts,
issued by the life insurance COM
panies, afford a sound plan for
investing either large or small
sums so as to provide a guaran,
teed life income commencing at
a designated age. In illustration
of such a contract on. a small
deposit basis:
A man, age 18, can receive a
guaranteed income Of $1,000 a
month for life commencing at 60
years of age, for a yearly deposit
of $16.93.
Joins in Dividends
The contract participates in
the dividend earnings of the COM
,pany each year, which may be
used to reduce the annual cost
of the policy or left with the
insurance company to accumulate.
If the dividends are used towards
the payment of the premiums,
the results would be as follows:
Average dividend per year for
AZ years. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. $8.16
Average net deposit per year
for AZ years. s................. $S.77
Total net deposits for AZ years $S6S.S6
Guaranteed cash value end of
AZ years. $1.s52.55

If the dividends are left to
accumulate at interest, the re-
suits would be as follows:

May Use Dividends
The accumulated dividends may
be used to increase the guaran-
teed monthly income from $40
to 1881. The dividend figures
quoted are based on the 1881
dividend scale and interest rate.
The contract carries cash and
loan values which are obtainable
any time from issuance Of the
policy up to maturity date. At
maturity date, if the insured so
desires, he may receive the guar
anteed cash value and any &C
cumulated dividends in lieu Of
the monthly income.
Will Pay Full Value
In the event of the death of
the insured before retirement
age, so years, the cash values
guaranteed in the contract will
be Immediately paid to the
named beneficiary. Retirement
income contracts provide a larger
monthly income for life, say
$50, $1OO, 5000, ETC., may be
purchased at the same proper
tionate cost as the contract out
lined above. A comparison of
the retirement income contract
described with other types of in
vestment is interesting. It would
require principal Of $2,400 at
S per cent interest to yield $12O
per year, of a monthly income
Of $40 with no guarantee; where
as, the insuranc company re-
quires a principal of $1,352.55 to
produce a guaranteed monthly
income of $40.

FAUST
By Louise NJ. Comstock

Ut WAS no grisly bargain with the
devil that made Faust the central
figure in famous legend, the theme
of at least two plays and three operas.
In Main. Germany, in the Fourteenth
century, people won reputation for
undue intimacies with the devil very
easily; and Faust won his overnight.

Johann Gutenberg had just invented
the process of printing with movable
type To commemorative his invention
he formed the first printing company,
Gutenberg. Faust and Shoeffer, to
which he formed the first printing com.
pany Gutenberg, Faust and Shoetfer,
to which he contributed the idea, and
Faust the capital and a flare for sales
promotion. Shoetfer was Faust'S son
in-law. Since there were no patent
laws at the time. the printing had to
be done behind closed doors, often at
night, to prevent the idea being stolen.
The public accustomed to slowly and
lahoriously hand-prntcd letters. gaZed
in awe at the freshly printed pages
turned out SO rapidly in that mystic
rious shop, and limited magic. Faust
perceived the sales value of that word,
encouraged its use and became popu-
larly known, not as printer, but
man with some strange allegiance with
the devil!
Old records show that Faust later
won law suit against Gutenberg for
funds invested and lost in the printing
of the famous Gutenberg Bible. a sin

theory of magic, sold in 1926 for

Hundreds of miles from any ocean
Is located the newest United States
naval munitions depot. 1t is in the
center of 211 square miles Of gov
eminent land at Hawthorne, New.
just to the north of the naval store

location of the depot, far from the

to the factor of safety. Here in the

harm. At seaport they would
