Pr Ian Insurance
On Civilian War
Injury, Death
Accident Companies
TO Pool Resources
in Private Undertaking

Private insurance men have ar
ranged a new type war insurance
which covers civilians against loss
of life or injury. Undertaken with
out government participation. IL Is
felt that il will supplement the
Federal War Damage Insurance
and provide complete war cover
age.
Invitations to participate in the
War Injury Policy Pool, sponsored
by the Health and Accident Under
writers Conference, have been sent
to over 200 accident companies by
the war policy committee of the
conference, headed by c. 0. Pauley
of the Great Northern Life.
The invitation, which must be
accepted by or before July %
includes a copy of the civilian
war injury policy which already
has the approval of most of the
states, samples of the application
and receipt forms, which all COM
panies will be required to use, and
a specimen copy of the reinsurance
agreement which will control the
mechanics OF the management of
the plan and describe the alloca-
ton OF the risk.
MET IN CHICAGO
AT a meeting of the committee
in Chicago last week final approval
was given all the forms and a
depository arrangement was made
with the Harris Trust and Savings
Bank, Chicago banking establish
ment, which will receive and dis
burse the funds of the pool under
the terms of the reinsurance
agreement in manner which is
expected to be entirely satisfac-
tory to all participating companies.
The committee stressed the i'm
portance of prompt decisions on
the part of the companies and il
was pointed out that the speed
with which the pool is completed
will determine the date on which
the policy can be offered to the
public. The potential number OF
companies which will elect to
enter the pool will probably ex-
coed advance predictions, accord
ling to Harold r. Gordon, executive
secretary of the conference. Cor
don explained that inquiries,
prompted by widespread news
paper publicity, had been reaching
his office. daily and that many
companies had expressed keen
interest in this cooperative en-
deavor.

Hampton
To Get
School

HAMPTON Inst, Va, - A
"Class A" Naval training school
for Negroes will open at Hamp-
ton Institute, Hampton, Va, on
August /, according to an an
nouncement by Dr. Malcolm S.
MacLean, president df the col
lege.
| The training school is the first
of its kind in the Navy's new
program of enlisting Negroes,
and will turn out $40 specialists
for the Navy every 16 weeks. The
Navy program will not interfere
with the regular undergraduate
course of study, DR.. MacLean
said.
Negotiations are now under
way to send selected seamen to
Hampton AFTER they have COM
pleted eight weeks basic train
ing at the Great Lakes Naval
Training station.
Lieutenant Commander Edwin
H. Downes has been made COM
handing officer of the Nays
school at Hampton, which will
supply the force afloat with per-
sonnet especially qualified as cleo
tricians, machinists, metalsmiths,
shipfitters, woodworkers, and Die
gel engine machinists. During
their 16 weeks at Hampton In
stitutc, the seamen will be indoc-
trinated in the principles and
customs Of the Navy and will go
through an extensive commando
type" physical education program
to build up their physiques to
withstand the rigors of the sea
The curricula at Hampton will
be the same as that given at the
Class A training stations at San
Diego and Norfolk.
Hampton Institute will furnish
the instructors for the program,
and it is estimated that some 60
trade teachers will be added to
the staff. The college is also con-
templating the construction Of a
grill and lounge for both the I'M
dergraduate student body and the
Army and Navy enlisted men who
will be stationed here, and a 10
room apartment building to be
used as officers quarters.

Order Dim-0ui
on West Coast
August 20 Set
as Effective Dote

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. s.
Up A vast military dim-out,
blackening the Pacific shore
line from Canada to Mexico and
dimming lights as far as $50
miles inland, today was ordered
into effect Aug. 20 as a protec-
ton for shipping and coastal
installations.
(Only few hours before the
order was made public, it was
disclosed by the Navy Depart
ment in Washington and by sur
vivors at Seattle that a United
States merchant ship was sunk
recently in the north Pacific,
with the loss of eight lives, and
that the attacking Jap subma-
rine machine-gunned survivors
on life rafts.)
The order, greatly extending
a voluntary dim-out and MAX
ing violations punishable, wa S
issued by Lieut.. Gen. j. L. De-
witt, commanding general of the
western defense command, to
remain in effect for the wars
duration.

General DeWitt's public pro-

present situation requires as a
matter of military necessity
that the area be dimmed to pro-
tect the coast from enemy sub
marines, warships and planes.
Lights at night silhouette ships,
making them clearer targets for
submarines. They also serve as
reflections in the sky to guide
approaching enemy planes.
The army order supplants a
voluntary dim out instituted
months ago by the Office of
Civilian Defense. 1t provides for
criminal prosecution and ex-
iclusion of any violator from the
Western Defense command area.

lnsto||ments on Homes
Considered as Deduction
Senote Finance Committee Fovors
Bill to Aid Little Fellows

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5-(R)
"A debt credit plan of tax re-
lief appeared to be in the offing
today for the little fellows who
pinch pennies to pay the
monthly installment of their
homes as we'll as for proprietors
of civilian businesses facing
higher taxes and shrinking reve-
nues.
Still vague in details. the plan
had varying degrees of public
endorsement from a majority of
tn Fl members of the senate
finance committee which is con-
Sidering revenue bill calling
for $6,27l 900 j. new taxes.
The proposal would permit
inc iduals to subtract from
their taxable income an amount
equal to payments actually
made on investment debts they
contracted before specified
date, possibly January /, 1912.
The amount which thus could
be charged off would be limited
to a certain percentage of the in
come-just as deductions for
charity donations cannot exceed
Is per cent and probably
would be further limited to a
total ranging from $500 to $500.
Suggested deductions under
this proposal included payments
on home mortgages, life insur-
ance premiums and other rela-
lively essential debts.
The aid for debt-burdened
businesses would be carried out
on a somewhat similar plan,
with both proposals possibly
