A HUNDRED BILLIONS

Modern business figures have reached
such large proportions that the human
mind can not begin to grasp them. Who,
for example, can form an intelligent idea
of what 100 billion dollars really means?
Yet, that is the amount of life insurance
now in force in the United States.
The growth of life insurance in this
country since the war has been one OF the
outstanding business phenomena OF the
period. When the government provided
war risk insurance for its soldiers and
sailors during the war, some believed that
the private companies might be injured,
but it appears that the reverse has been
the case
In any event, the figures speak for
themselves. The amount of life insurance
in force in 1916 was about % billion. BY
1922 it had reached so billion. The 100
billion now in force represents, therefore
an increase of 800 per cent in Is years.
Even this staggering total represents
only an average of about $500 for every
person in the United States. Hundreds of
thousands of families are still without in
surance, and the neglect of this important
matter is the cause of much suffering on
the part of widows and orphans who are
left unprotected. Every man owes it TO his
family to carry reasonable amount of life
Insurance.

LIGHTING AND SAFETY

According to the National Safety
Council, which recently conducted a sur
vey of four states, about 35 per cent of all
night automobile accidents are due to IT,
sufficient street and highway lighting.
That this is conservative statement
is indicated by the experience of Detroit
last year, when the need for municipal
economy caused drastic curtailment of
street illumination. The result as stated by
Superintendent Schrenk of the lighting de-
partment was that while final accidents in
daytime decreased % per cent, night
fatalities increased % per cent, during a
period of 10 months.
Aside from the loss of life and limb
involved in the additional accidents, it was
found that handling these extra emer-
gency cases cost the city" more than the
saving in its light bill, so the former light
ing was restored to virtually its former
level.
This illustrates that economy meas
ures, which are being demanded prac-
tieally everywhere just now, may some
times be costly, if added dangers to the
public are created thereby. This is es-
pecially true with respect to matters af-
fecting traffic safety, fire protection and
the public health. 1t is estimated that traf-
fic accidents alone now cost the American
people about two and half billion dol
lars every year.

CASTING IN ON CRIME

Regardless of the particular activities
in which we engage, it is natural that we
should endeavor to look ahead, with a
view to estimating the returns which may
be expected.
Unfortunately, many do not look
ahead at all, or if they do they fail to heed
the warnings plentifully supplied by the
experiences of others. This is especially
true of those who decide to embark upon
life of crime.
Laying aside all moral considerations,
and estimating the rewards of a criminal
solely in terms of money, health and COM
fort, it seems strange that any should try
to beat such desperate game. Yet thou
sands try it and fail They fail whether
they are ever adequately punished by law
or not. The daily fear of detection and
punishment is often worse than punish
ment itself. For this reason, many
criminals give themselves up when they
can no longer stand the strain
A criminal recently captured charged
with long list of daring crimes, speaks
on the subject with authority. He says:
Il am 80 years old. / began my
career of crime 10 years ago. Eight of
those 10 years / have spent in jails and
penitentiaries. | have been shot 13 times
with pistols, once with a rifle and three
times with shotgun. My left shoulder
is shot away. My left arm is paralyzed
from the elbow to the shoulder. One lung
gone. My body is SCARED from head to
foot with bullet wounds. And say: You

A street rumor is often more excit-
ing than printed story because, in the
absence of definite knowledge, it is sur
rounded by mystery, whereas the bare
statement of fact in print removes romance
from the rumor. Many times, when the
news is made known, and the rumor denied
there is dissatisfaction discernible al
though It is not generally expressed. and
this even if the news is better than the
rumor. Human nature dislikes to be dis
