INSURANGE POINTS | TOLLS.PROSPERTY American People Set Sixth Consecutive Record for Purchase of Policies. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 13 —Taking Ife insurance as a yardstick of cconomic progress, speakers at the an- nual convention of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents today drew a golden picture of American prosperity. | Chandler Bullock, chairman of the | meeting and president of the State Mutual Life Assurance Co.of Worcester, Mass,, announced that for the sixth successive year the American people had established in 1928 a new high record for purchase of life insurance. ‘The total, he said, was approximately $18,500,000,000 of new insurance, or $1.365,000,000 more than in 1927, the previous high year. Sees 100 Billion Total. At this rate, he predicted, total insur- ance in force will reach $100,000,000,000 by Autumn of 1929, the eighty-seventh year of American life insurance. He estimated the current total at $95,000,- 000,000, a net increase of $8,000,000,000 during the year after shrinkage. In view of American consumption of automobiles, silk hose, cosmetics and like products, the 1928 insurance record was evidence of amazing resiliency of the Nation's purchasing power, Mr. Bullock declared. The 1928 total, he added, was more than nine times the amount of life‘in- surance the Nation purchased in 1901. Thomas I. Parkinson, president of the Equitable Life Assurance Soclety of the United States, said capital funds of American life insurance companies had | doubled in the last seven years, totaling today $16,000,000,000. The fund, he said, | represents contributions of 65,000,000 | policyholders and was increased this year by $1,600,000,000. | Alfred Hurrell, vice president and | general counsel of the Prudential In- surance Co. of America, declared the United States leads the world in life in- surance by carrying more than 70 per sent of the total in force in all countries. Is Aid to Independence. George W. Smith, vice president of ¥he New England Mutual Life Insur- ance Co. of Boston, declared life insur- ance is one of the chief contributing forces toward individual economic inde- Ppendence. Life insurance payments, he ex- plained, prevent persons from becoming gl:rb;l;fuchuges, ufls ‘}nlsclosed life in- pbaymen! ur] 1928 approx- imated $1,700,000,000. 5 ™ HOOVER TO REMAIN ON RED CROSS BOARD Re-elected Member of Central Com- mittee Along With Cornelius N.

CHICAGO, December 13.—Betty Ann is just two weeks old, but those tiny fingers of hers—and those lungs of hers!—are mighty enough to bring the ponderous machinery of a criminal court to a dead stop. For Betty Ann must eat! What cares she that her 21-year-old mother, M»s. Catherine Zalis, is on trial for life—for the killing of another baby girl that would have been Betty Ann’s sister were she alive? What cares she for the dig- nity of the law; for the oratory of the law; and, maybe, for the severity of the law, which might decree that the young mother die in the electric chair. Betty Ann must eat! Twice yesterday the wheels of law ceased turning because Betty Ann was hungry. Prosecutors were seeking to prove that Mrs. Zalis had killed her other baby and then cremated it in a stove because, they quoted her as say- ing, she “couldn’t bear to hear a baby cry.” Defense attorneys were striving to prove Mrs. Zalis insane. Then into the midst of the murder trial came a nurse. She tiptoed to the bench and whispered to Judge Lynch. “Recess!” announced the court. The young mother arose and went t an adjoining room. Tenderly she liftel the little pink bundle from its crib. She pressed her lips lightly to the tiny head. | The red face, damp with tears, slowly | relaxed. The crying changed to a | gurgle. |~ Betty Ann, born in the Bridewell, but | just as sweet as though she had first | seen the world from the gold coast, dines!
