NEW LONDON, Conn., March 13.-- If the United States Coast Guard will dispose of her, the former rum runner, Patara. will be used to carry the Har- rison Willlams' expedition to Labrador and the Arctic zone this Summer, it was learned today. Capt. Robert A. Bartlett, Arctic explorer, and Robert Peary, son of the discoverer of the North Pole, with George Palmer Put- nam, author and publisher, inspected the craft at her berth this week, and have taken up the matter of obtaining the boat with the Coast Guard head- quarters at Washington. The Patara was seized off Long Island in December, 1924. Boarding officers found several thousand cases of liquor stored in her hold. COPPER STOCKS INCREASE.

A fea- ture which many policies give is a stated monthly income for life in case of permanent disability; and also, in the case of death, a fixed monthly in- come to the estate for a determined number of years. Borrowing on Policles. Life insurance policies—except term policies—have cash surrender, loan, and paid up values; straight “life” after being in force two vears; “‘en- dowments” after two years; and “single premiums” immediately. Of course, some people are foolish and when getting tired of paying pre- miums “cash in” or borrow on their policies to buy something which they very much want although probably do not really need. Usually it is a great mistake to borrow on a policy unless it is taken out for that sole purpose. The man who borrows on his life in- surance policy is borrowing from his widow and children, and if it is his education or start in business—and not for the family’'s protection—may rightly be used for collateral. In fact, this is a fleld for credit which has not begun to be appreciated; but in such cases the policies used for col- + wieral with jhe Lk or privaied = industry in general. Some of the companies are now establishing the excellent practice of loaning back to the people of each State an amount approximate to the premiums re- celved from said State. Of course, & large amount of the financing of na- tional progress is being done by the banks, investment dealers and other interests, but without the educational work and the systematic coilection of small sums by the insurance com- panies America would not be any- where near what it is toda The tremendous factor that insur- ance companies have become in the fear of being obliged at any one time to pay off. Some of the companies conservatively can make longtime loans that banks would not be justi- fled in considering. Therefore, stu- dents of fundamental business and investment conditions should watch the total annual figures published on life insurance as well as figures on bank clearings, railroad earnings, for- eign trade and other important fac- States upward of $72,000,000,000 life and rapidly growing industry. Gen- eral business throughout the country is continuing at a very steady rate, now registering by the Babson chart 13 per cent above normal. (Copyright. 1926.) o Resignation Accepted.

DANVILLE, Va., March 13.—The Danville Tobacco Association today ssued statistics on the sale of tobacco on the local market for the season which closed vesterday. Farmers of this section who sold at auction de- rived over six million dollars in cash for their leaf. The receipts of the tobacco pool are withheld, but there is $6,087,916.91, at an average price of $15.72" per hundred pounds. ’ The volume of tobacco sold was more than two millon pounds in ex- cess of last year, but the average was considerably lower, last year's figures being $23.01 per hundred pounds.
