.EX SECRETARY.
DEFENDS BLACK

Denial that Senator Hugo L.
Black CD of Alabama, chairman
of the Senate subcommittee in
veStigating air and ocean mail
contracts, is a publicity hound"
has been made by Hugh G.
Grant, former secretary to the
senator.
This statement followed the
assertion made by former Post
master General Walter F. Brown
Saturday that James A. Farley,
now Postmaster General, had
said Senator Black was a pub
licity hound" This was immedi.
ately denied by the present
Postmaster General. Mr.. Grant,
who now holds a position in the
State Department, said:
"The charge that Senator
Black is a seeker of publicity
with the inference that this has
been the motive behind the in.
vestigatiOn, is grossly unfair to
the Senator. who from my per-
sonal knowledge is as far be-
hind being a publicity hound
as MussOlini is from being q
Democrat"

AS the Senate was slated to
continue consideration of amend
ments designed to liberalize the
veterans sections of the indie
pendent offices supply bill today,
j. w. Mcqueen, national COM
mander of the Disabled American

rect injustices in the veterans
provisions.
Pointing out that in less than
a year the Economy act has been
modified Is times with view to
correcting other injustices, Mr..
Mcqueen said. that Congress to-
day is facing "the unavoidable
issue of whether it is to legislate
for disabled veterans, as a ma
jority in Congress apparently de-
sires, or to shift the duty else
where"

To the PoliCy-holders and the Public:-


The service Of life insurance company is
measured, largely by its returns to policy-holders
Life accomplished more IN 1888 than in any other
year since it began business in 1845.
In this year of Stress IN addition to making
many policy loans, the Company paid the enor-
nous sum of S255.977,4S3 to policy-holders,
benefciaries, and annuitants
It closed the year with Assets amounting to
$2,O1O,943112, the largest in its history, valued
as prescribed by the National Convention of In
surance Commissioners. The Companys total
Liabilities were $1,S96,651,3 1921.
Its surplus funds reserved for general contin-
gencies amounted to S114,291,791.
In the interest of conservatism, the Company
voluntarily set up in its liabilities two special
contingency reserves as follows: $21,O14,5O7,
which is the difference between December 81,
1888 market quotations and the values carried IN
Assets of stocks, and of bonds in default bonds of
companies in receiverShip, and bonds which for
any reason are not carried in Assets at amortized
value; and $7,5OO,OOO for deferred mortgage in
terest collections which are larger than normal
due to the general economic situation.
The Company also set aside reserve OF
S4S.O3S,244 for apportionment of dividends dur
ing 1884, sum sufficient to provide the same
regular annual dividend on each individual
policy as was paid in 1888, except on term in
surance policies.

MAR|TA|N LISTED
AS c. j. SPEAKER
Famed French Philosopher
to Lecture in Capital
on Wednesday.

Catholic University will have as
guest lecturer Wednesday night
Jacques Maritain, one of the foremost
living French philosophers.
Coming to Washington at the invi-
tation of Most Rev. James H. Ryan,
bishop of modra and rector of the
university, Maritain will speak on
knowledge and Wisdom, an Applica-
ton of Thomistic Philosophy to
Modern Problems of Art and Science" :"
A grandson of Jules Favre, one Of
the founders of the Third French Re-
public, he turned his attention to
philosophy rather than to statecraft,
and in his early twenties became one
of the most active Of the younger in
tellectuals of France. Originally
follower of the poetic Bergson, he later
denied the beliefs of that philosopher
and turned to the defense of Saint
Thomas Aquinas.
Both he and his wife, Raissa
Oumansoff, a Russian Jewess, were
critics of Catholicism until they called
on the famous Leon Bloy in his home
in Montmartre to express their admi-
ration for his force of expression.
They left as converts. Both Maritain
and his wife. who has since become
philosopher and author in her own
right, continued their studies of
Christian philosophy at Heidelberg,
Louvain and Paris.
During recent years, Maritain has
devoted his studies and writings to
propagation and re-application Of the
doctrines of st. Thomas.
The lecture will be open to the
public.
