were on their way home today with
pleasant memories of brilliant
White House dinner given by Pres
ident and Mrs Hoover last night
in their honor.
The 9th governor invited, Floyd
B. Olson of Minnesota, arrived In
Washington from the governors
conference at Richmond, but failed
to appear at the White House. At
his hotel, Olson said the t''press of
official business, had made 1t inn
perative for him to cancel his ac-
ceptance.
The executive mansion was gay
with music and q profusion Of fra
grant floral decorations. The guests
chatted for nearly three hours
among themselves and with the
President and Mrs Hoover, during
and after dinner.
"It was thoroughly enjoyable. !"

10th century. Brother Joseph Dut-

New Collectors
If this column eiilists but one
new collector in the hobby it will
be matter of great pride to the
editors. A collection started with
the Washington Bicentennials has
a big start and a mighty interest
ing one, too.
Phenomenal Value
Michael L. Eidsness, superin-
tendent of the division of stamps
at Washington. has declared that
within the next six years the value
of the Yorktown 2 cent stamp will
90 up 1000 per cent. It Is interest
ing to work this out in cold cash,
as did Mr. Eidsness.. There were
just exactly 25.000,000 of these
stamps printed and there were lust
$4,000. 900 of them sold. That
brought Uncle Sam 100000.
Probably s250.000 worth of these
are in the hands of collectors.
Therefore along about 1897 the
Yorktown should be worth $3.-
| 500, 900. II you own nice block
of four for which you paid eight
cents, however, the value would
only 60 up to 80 cents. But try
and buy a yorktown block for 80
cents in 1897 Still dealers spoil
their own game by gobbling up SO
many of the commemorative. II
SO per cent Of every issue gets
into their hands there never Will
be a scarcity and hence no demand
/ to jack up the price.

COVERAGE AIDS
ACCIDENT
POLICIES
BY FRANK F. LOOMS

The first accident insurance pol
icy ever written was issued in Eng
land about the middle Of the nine
teenth century, and the first in
the United States in 1864.
Health insurance had its con-
ception in the so-called friendly
societies and guilds which existed
in Europe in the Middle Ages and
was undertaken here shortly after
accident insurance.
It soon became dormant and was
not revived until late in the cen
tury. It's restoration came about
by the broadening of coverage
given in accident policies.
Grows in Importance
The accident and health branch
of the insurance business has as
sumed a tremendous Importance.
1t is recognized by the public as
an absolute necessity for personal
protection, as part Of their insur-
ance program.
Accident insurance is, in so far
as death benefits are concerned, a
limited form of life insurance. Un-
der accident policies providing for
death benefits the company agrees
to pay a designated amount to the
beneficiary if the insured dies
solely as a result Of bodily injury
effected by accidental means. This
phase of the protection offered is
relatively unimportant.
The real reason for the growth
of accident insurance is because
the coveSage includes benefits for
loss of limbs and sight, and even
more important, weekly in
demnity to the insured if disabled
by accidental injury. Nurses, sur
geons and hospital expenses are
other valuable features.
Gives Income Protection
While the accident contract pro-
tectS against loss by reason OF &C
cidental injury of the most valu-
able asset man has, namely, his
earning power, health insurance
supplements this coverage by CIV
ing protection in illness.
Men and women employed value
their incomes and earning ca
pacity highly, which is the answer
to the question of why carry &C
cident and health insurance?"
The majority would not be in a
financial position to keep up their
life, fire, automobile and other
insurance policies if their earned
income was taken away from
them.

after yesterdays workout, but
soon walked it out. The track
was cuppy.

admiration of the railbirds, who
first classed him light for the
Derby. The star Of the Eastern
contingent galloped out a mile and
three-eighths in 1921 2-5 and the
mile and a half in 2::37 Is to
