Continuing the thought regard
ing reasonable tests for investment
plans, there appears the value of
plans which will mature when
needs arise.
Insurance policies mature by
death or by endowment. In most
instances death brings a crucial
need for money which life insur-
ance will Immediately supply; en-
dowments may be measured to
meet expenses for college, to set
one up in business, or to meet a
myriad of other financial needs.
Occasionally it happens that in
surance funds are not needed at
maturity, in which case the money
may be left intact with the com
pany and guaranteed rate of in
terest paid. With what other type
of investment is such a service
routine?
An amazing incidence of the
failure of the insured to use this
service occurred recently, when at
the death of a man of national
prominence, large sum of money
was found in his safe deposit box.
presumably the proceeds of ma
tured insurance policies. One
wonders why this service was not
used. Was it that the gentleman
was so hedged about by reception
lists and secretaries that so prac-
tical a person as a life insurance
agent was never admitted to re-
mind him of the privileges in his
contracts? Few Americans TODAY
are Indifferent to a per cent min
imum yield on money, if the ad-
ditional dollars are not needed per-
sonally, they may be donated to
charity.
With such a provision in the
contract, widow need not have
the investing of large sums added
to her burden of woe.

Big Traffic Safety Gain
Reporied In Pasadena
~ the Associated Press.

PASADENA, Calf, July 15.-Po-
lice who get to an accident before
1t happen" have improved trafnc
safety conditions in Pasadena to the
point where only one-fourth -
many bones are being broken in
automobiles crashes as In 1898.
w. w. Harper, former physicist at
the California Institute Of Tech
nolosy, scientific consultant for the
Pasadena Police Department for the
last five years, says trafic deaths
have declined from q In 1896 to
three In the hrst six months Of
1910.
In the first half Of 1888, bones
were broken in 125 accidents. In
the first half Of 1910, bone fractures
occurred In only 81 accidents.
In 1885 one person was injured in
Pasadena traffic every o. hours: in
1899, every 1875 hours. DR.. Harper
predicts an average of one in "A
hours for 1910.
Chiefly responsible for the un-
precedented decline in bone -break-
ing, says DR.. Harper, is the fact
that If police get to the scene of a
possible accident there likely won't
be an accident"

1871 Agricultural Conservation Pro.
gram Is Explained

For the purpose OF explaining the
l941 agricultural conservation pro-
gram, with special reference to the
wheat situation from the standpoint
of world supply and demand, CON-
munity educational meetings are
/ being held throughout Kent county
under the auspices Of the Kent Coun-
ty Agricultural Conservation AssO-
citation in cooperation with the Ex-
tension Service OF the University OF
Delaware. A national wheat arce-
age for 1941 amounting to $4,000, 900
acres was announced May IA in &C.
cOrdance with the provisions of the
Agricultural Adjustment Act, and
this allotment takes into account the
wheat supplies on hand, the pros
Pective crop, and the needs for our
food supply next year. This allot-
ment Is the same as that for the 1870
wheat crop In view of the world
wheat supply Tor the year beginning
July 1, 1889. totaling about $780,
000.000 bushels. which was the lar
gest supply in the history Of the
world.
The record world carry-over Of
1 $50 ,000, 900 bushels estimated for
the year beginning July l, 1910, is
more than twice that of 1888 and one
fifth larger than in July, 1889. Re-
fecting these record-breaking sup
plies the prices of wheat on the Liv-
erpool market during August in 1889
dropped 10 the lowest levels in more
than $50 years.
The estimated wheat surplus for
export or carry-Over in the three ex-
borting countries Of Canada, Aus
tralia and Argentina on July 1. 1910,
was 425.000.000 bushels as compared
to 331 100000 bushels on July l.
1888. and 100000 bushels on
July 1. 1888. That our wheat export
trade has been reduced is shown by
the fact that the total world exports
for the 1939-1940 season have been
at Sos 600, 900 bushels. as
to 6O7 100000 bushels for
the 193S-19S9 crop season.
A high percentage of wheat far
ners complied with their acreage /
lllotments in 1888. with the result
hat the 1889 seeded acreage was
Il ,000, 900 acres, or 20 per cent under /
hat for 1888. Because of this ad- /
ustment during 1889 it was possible,
therefore to increase the national
allotment from 55,OO0.OOO acres for
1899 to 62.O00.000 acres for 1910, but
here are no indications which point
o a justification for an increased
lereage allotment for the 1941 wheat
,rop in the United States.
