A’'machine gun is defined in the bill as afy firearm which shoots either au- tomatically or from which more than 12_shots can be fired semi-automati- cally without reloading. The restric: tions apply not only to the selling of small arms but to renting, giving, lending or transferring in any way from one person to another.

The State bill provides for commit- ting or attempting to commit a crime when armed additional punishment of and for a third conviction not less than 10 nor more than 15 years. Penalty for Fourth Conviction. In case of a fourth conviction for the commission of a crime of violence when armed, the penalty is imprison- ment for life, or for an additional pe: riod of not less than 20 years. This was explained to be a modification of the principle of the Bawmes law, which was passed last year in New York, inasmuch as the option of 20 years’ additional sentence in place of life imprisonment is provided for the fourth offense. Provisions of the bill were explained in part by the official statement, as follows: Being armed is prima facie evidence of intent, and the presence of a fire- arm in a vehicle is presumptive evi- dence of possession by all persons | occupying or using-the vehicle at the | time. | No person ¢ ted in the State or | ne of violence may | bro Sol Cefteningitis nee Those active little fingers simply must handle books and pencils—must fondle pets —must touch desks, chairs, toys—and count- other things on which germs may lurk.

Ever been in to inspect the “elevated banking room” of The Federal-American? They Say “It’s a Masterpiece” DARWIN P. KINGSLEY To the Policy-holders: of business on December 31, 1926. women — young and old A Prosperous Year In 1926, this Company, which yoéu own, wrote an- other chapter of progress: New insurance over 900 Million Dollars. Total insurance in force over 53/4 Billion Dollars. Paid to members and: benefi- ciaries over 133 Miltion' Dollars, sncluding over Millions in 53 Dividends. You, the policy-holders, have accumulated assets of more than 114 Billion Dol- {lars. This money plus your future deposits and com- pound interest will even- tually provide the payment of the Company's obliga- tions to you and your beneficiaries. We believe we are one of the companies Hon. Charles Evans Hughes had in mind when he recently said: “I like to think of' the spirit of life insurance, for it is the spirit of achievement.” Nylic Is Your Investing Agent The fund of more than'174 Billion Dollars is invested in accordance with the strict requirements of the laws | of the State of New York; and it plays a substantial part in the development of the nation’s farms, homes, railroads and public works. As policy-holders, you practise thrift. You invest soundly and safely. Your money will be available to you and your dependents, impressed with emergency-power, at a time when it will be needed most. That is what Mr. Hughes meant when he said, in the address to which I have just referred, that a life insurance policy was the best guardian of the purse that had ever been discovered. Small Average Policy Your total insurance is impressive; but if you divide it by 2,220,784, the number of policies, you will find that the size of the average policy is only $2,590. Of course, some members have more than one policy; and many of you are also insured in other companies, But the great majority are UNDERINSURED, as you will see.

What a city it would be, with every family striving to safeguard its own future through a single co-operative institution for insurance and savings! 5, and professional men and Cash Value of Life Figp insurance and life in surance protect values. The value of a worker’s life is the cash worth of his future net earnings, usually far greater than the value of his prop erty. The following points may help you to estimate the monetary value gf your life. Thke United States Govern- ment fixed $10,000 as the in- surable life-value of Ameri- can soldiers and sailors in the Great War, mostly voung unmarried men who had been earning small incomes none at all. Recently, according to the New York Times, the Ameri- can Statistical Association declared that the money value of the average American life (including children and adults who earn no income ) is $17,500! As an income- earner, the value of vour life is much greater. Consider the capital re- quired to produce income from interest. At 5%, it takes $24,000 to yield $1,200 a year—$100 a month. or How Mucl Insurance is Needed? The answers to the following questions will enable you to 'measure your insurance needs: What is the _n'lmimum income you will require in your old age, or if you become totally and permanently disabled: and what is the smallest annual income your family could manage on if you were taken away ? i Is it $500 a year, or $1.000, $2,000, $5,000. $10.000. or more? How much will it require to settle vour estate—to pay your debts, mortgages and taxes, inchfding the federal and state inheritance taxes? How much cash will be needed at your death, or the death of your partner or an official of your company, to stabilize credit or to enable surviving partners or stock- holders to acquire the deceased associate’s interest in the business and carry on? Your Program . You probably have a program, because vou are insured; but how does your program stand today? How far short is it of the safety mark or the mark vou are aiming at? May I suggest that vou figure it out for yourself, or call in one of our Agents to‘hclp you work out a plan suited to your needs, so that vou may feel secure as to your own and your family’s future.
