PAUL FOSTER CLARK. LEGATION GUNMAN Expense of “Free” Education System Is Problem to Hundreds. Text Book Bill Designed to Lift This Burden From Parents. ‘Washington parents these days are spending from $12.75 to $28.25 for the general supplies which each first-year high-school student will need immedi- ately in the pursuit of the District of Columbia's free public high-school courses. To most people these expenditures may be taken as a matter of course, but, as those interested point out, to the hundreds of less financially able boys |and girls who are entering high school simply because the compulsory attend- ance law demands they remain in school until they are 16 years of age, unless “GENERAL SUPPLIES” REQUIRED IN HIGH SCHOOL SWELL COSTS District High School Student Pays $12.75 Entering First Year ‘The following items are those which parents of practically every student entering the first year of high school t| week are pur- chasing at their own expense (the prices quoted generally are slight- ly below the average rlld by stu- dents for the “general supplies”) : Algebra book ...

The delegates were officlally welcomed to Washington by Harold D. Krafft, | president of the Life Underwriters’ As. sociation of the District of Columb! and by.Commissioner Sidney F. Tal ferro, both of whom spoke at the morn. ing session. Telling of the many places of interest here and of the District governmen Commissioner Taliaferro declared “every American is a better citizen after visit- ing Washington, because of the new | inspiration he gets in the surroundings here—the seat of the Nation's Govern- | ment.” Public's Attitude Told. ! Commissioner Taliaferro, touching | briefly on the insurance business, drew a mental picture of the different atti~! tude of the public toward insurance now ! and in former years. There was a time, he said, when wives hated to think of their husbands being insured, because when the latter died it was considered | taking “blood money” to receive the in- surance. Now, he said, & man is con- sidered negligent if he does not protect | his family by taking out insurance. ‘William L.

Catawatis also is charged with car- rying a dangerous weapon. Man Held Insane. A letter from Dr. Edgar A. Bocock, superintendent of Gallinger Hospital, | where the man was sent for mental ob- servation, Bocock stated that in his opinion Catawatis was insane. The let- { ter, addressed to Newman, read, “Based upon our observation of this patient for 26 days, it is the opinion of the stafl at Gallinger that he is suffering from a paranoid state and is, therefore, not education is a problem. ‘There was a free text book and sup- | plies bill in Congress last year, which failed to pass, only because of the ob- Jections of a single Senator, which was designed to lift this burden of these expenses from parents.

The market for the “second hundred | billion,” with which the some 19,000 members of the national insurance group are concerned, “could not be the subject of definite analysis or predic- tion.” the speaker declared, but indi- cated that one course for insurance men to follow is to increase the aver- | age amount of insurance carried. The average sum on the individual life at the present time, with the 100 billion outstanding, the speaker said, is robably $800. b ‘The greul bulk of the first 100 bil- lion came from the areas of denser | population, he said, and indicated that the development of the country will | make the rural sections a better market for insurance in the future. Women Offer Field. Mr. Crocker said women going into | business and taking part generally in the affairs of today also offer another field for increased insurance selling.| “Mass insurance plans still have a strong onward movement,” he said. In conclusion the speaker stressed the need of proper advertising to create a realization of the need of insurance among the public. An address on the human side of selling and buying insurance was de- livered at the morning session by Dr. C. E. Albright of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co.. who has the | distinction of having sold more than $50,000.000 worth of life insurance dur- ing a 24-year period. Paul F. Clark, president of the Na- tional Association of Life Underwriters, in a published message to the conven- tion told of the great increases in the insurance business during recent years and of a movement for establishment of a® endowment fund of $100,000 for “The American College of Life’ Under- writers.” Summary of Increase. In & brief summary of the increases ' in the insurance business, Mr. Clark said: “In the 10 years from 1909 to 1918, the amount of new business by all United States companies showed an | average of $3,500,000,000 per year. In | the next 10 years ending in 1928, the average was just under $13,000,000,000 per year, or three and one-half times greater than that prevailing during the former decade. In 1909, to select an individual year, the amount of new business produced was $2,500,000,000, in 1928 it was $18,500,000.000—seven and one-half times as much as that pro- duced 19 years ago.” An address also was delivered at the morning session by Jerome Clark, superintendent of agencies, Union Cen- tral Life Insurance Co. whose subject was “Creating the Second Hundred Bil- lion.” Invocation was delivered at the | opening by Rev. W. Coleman Nevils, | S. J. president of Georgetown Uni- | versity. | A pre-convention program included breakfast by the members of the “Mil- | lion-Dollar Round Table,” composed of those who sold more than $1,000,000 | worth of insurance during the past year. Joseph A. Marr and Leo Freuberg of this city are members of the table. Memorials Are Observed. A memorial tribute was paid . to George D. Adler, former president of | the national asseciation, and to Charles When arraigned in Police Court the man said he called at the legation to | see if the Minister could assist his brother, who was in trouble in New | York.

Valuable. ideas for use in building | and operating a proposed sanitarium for Washington children suffering from tuberculosis are expected to be obtained next week by two District officials on an inspection tour of hospitals in the Middlewest. 1 Maj. Layson E. Atkins, assistant En- gineer Commissioner, and A. L. Harris, District architect, announced today that they will leave next week to make a thorough survey of institutions in De- troit and East Akron, Ohio. Pointing out that the sanitariums to be looked over are rated as the best of their type in the country, Maj. Atkins declared he expected to return with in- formation which would prove a marked asset to District officials. Both the Detroit and East Akron in- stitutions are operated along the most modern lines. The Assistant Engineer Commissioner | pointed out that Congress has au- | thorized construction of the proposed | sanitarium. He added an appropria- | tion of $500,000 will be sought later to | carry out the project. PRESIDENT HOOVER PLANS | VISIT TO RHODE ISLAND| Informs Senator Hebert of Inten-| tion to Make Trip Before End of Present Year. By the Associated Press. Senator Hebert, Republican, Rhode Island, said today after a conference with President Hoover that the Chief Executive expressed an intention of visiting his State before the end of the year.. This was the first intimation that Mr. Hoover contemplated a trip into New England this year. Next month he will visit Detroit, Cincinnati and Louisville, and there is a possibility that a few weeks later he will journey to Texas. Senator Hebert invited the President to attend the unveiling of a soldiers’ memorial monument at Providence on Armistice day. Mr. Hoover, however, | found it impossible to accept this in- vitation. . The President, on the other hand, agreed to press a button on October 24 opening new bridge across Mount Hope Bay, an arm of Narragansett Bay, connecting the town of Bristol with the Island of Rhode Island and providing a short cut from Providence to Newport.

Representatives of the company agreed to a substitute provision whereby consumers would be liable for any damage to the company's property caused by carelessness, negligence or willful malice on the part of the con- sumer. It also was decided to have the con- tract specify that deposits made by gas users may be applied only against gas consumption and service. The company representatives originally proposed to make it possible for the deposits to be applied. on the purchase of appliances or other debts to the company incurred by_the customers.
