LIFE INSURANCE
SALES RISE Il
PERCEN

A gain Of 81 per cent in new
paid.for ordinary life insurance
was registered here in November
over the corresponding month Of
1885 according to figures released
late yesterday by the Life Insur-
ance Sales Research Bureau, of
Hartford, Conn.
The District of Columbia is con-
Sfdered for purposes of compari-
son as a territorial unit and in a
list of all States in the Union 1t
stands fourth in percentage Of
sales gain. Only Delaware, South
Dakota and New Hampshire are
credited with a better percentage
record.
The 27 per cent gain looms even
larger when compared with the
gain for the United States as a
whole, which was just per cent.
Total sales here for the month
under review amounted to $5,364,-
900. Although some of the States
included in this division sold
greater amounts of insurance,
with the exception of Delaware,
none equaled the percentage gain
West Virginia came nearest with
a gain of IS per cent, South Caro-
lima gained 6 per cent, Virginia
gained per cent. North Carolina
and Georgia gained l per cent
while Maryland is credited with a
loss of per cent.

Der, hardwood prices were reduced by another
cut Of about the same SIZE The code authority
of the retail lumber dealers also reduced their
cost-protection prices. On Dec %, NRA sus-
pended the cost-protection prices of the lum-
Der code on the petition of large number of
manufacturers.
Cost-protection prices were so low that
even the chiselers were not able to cut under
them very much, although their operations
worked to bring about the suspension of those
protective prices. We have now absolutely free
and unrestricted price competition among
lumber manufacturers, and yet there has been
ITO general uecIlne IN prices ana we have hope
that the industry is now so fortified that it will
not again cut prices so per cent below the cost
of production as it did in 1892 If it does we
shall see return of the days of 1882, when
100000 men were out of work in this industry
and thousands worked II hours a day for 10
cents an hour, and were glad of the opportu-
nifty to do so-yet made only losses for their
employers.
We hear much about 1926 prices as ideal.
The lumber entering into a typical five-room
bungalow can now be purchased at retail for
about so per cent less than it could be in 1926
Moreover, only 30 per cent of the cost of such
house is included in lumber. We wonder
whether erection and transportation cost so
per cent less than in 1926
