% INSURANCE COVERS. CHILDREN AT PLAY Policy Costs 10 Cents and Protects Against Breaking of _Windows in School Hours. SHEBOYGAN, Wis, October 5 (N.AN.A)—With a 12-year-old boy as president, other 12-year-olds as ad- justers and almost $50 in the treasury, the Lincoln School Glass Casualty Com- pany, organized at the Lincoln School here last spring, is functioning as ef- foctively and earnestly as insurance companies with million-dollar assets. The company fills a dire need at the Lincoln School, where a limited play- ground makes it hardly possible for the 500 children not to break windows in playing ball. The space in front and at the side of the school:grounds is used to park automobiles, so the chances of breaking windshields and windows of cars are great. Policies for Ten Cents. Insurance policeis sell for 10 cents and protect policy holders against win- dow breakage from ball-playing on school days between the hours of 7:45 am. and 4:45 pm. A clause protect- ing against breakage by foot ball is yet to bs written into the policy. The poliey covers windows in nearby build- ings and passing cars as well as the school. “Stones don't count,” Gordon Hilde- brandt, the president, tells children at the school in explaining the benefits of the insurance. Neither will the in- surance company protect a child by issuing a policy after he has broken a window. Protection is only for those who hold policies at the time of win- dow breakage. Once the insurance company has paid for a window broken by a policy holder, the policy holder must renew protection by paying an- other 10-cent premijum. Adjusters on Job. Before the insurance company re- places broken windows, Hildebrandt and three other officers, acting as a board of adjusters, interview the child who broke the window and all witnesses. They then decide if the window was broken accidently and should be re- placed by the company. A crack in a window is not considered a break and the pane will not be replaced. When proof is found that breakage was due to carelessness on the part of the child, th; company stands only half of the | il | “We pay half to keep faith,” said!

GHINA FEARS FLORIDA | IN TUNG OIL MARKET| American Planters Raise Trees of High Qualtiy and Threaten Oriental Monopoly. SHANGHAI (#)—The fact that Florida planters have begun to raise tung oil trees of both high quality and in abundance has caused a shiver in the Chinese industry. Exports have al- ready fallen off to an amazing degree. _Tung oil, better known as China wood | oil, is a necessary ingredient of paint driers and is used in many preservative preparations for roofing, iron and steel. It is especially valuable in varnish, its presence imparting a luster to the finish that gives a lacquer effect. It also is used in soap, ink, drugs, paper and water-proof silk. Although ig value has been known in China for centuries, the western! world knew little about the oil until| 1896, when it was taken across the Pa- cific by an American. Now it has be-!| come a world-wide commodity. | - WRITER FINDS ILLS IN WORLD’S PROGRESS California Professor Concludes We Are Not Civilized and Tells Why. In -his book ‘“Are We Civilized?” Prof. Robert H. Lewis of the Univer- sity of California concludes that in general we are not. He points out that riding on express trains is no sign of high mental development. Are we superior mentally to Galileo and to Newton, who had only stage coaches to ride on? He writes: “Man has forged ahead of the ape by passing on his experiences to the next gener- ation. He has piled up one means after another, not only for surviving, but for surviving in greater comfort. | However, he mars his legacy of gold by binding it up inextricably wltg a heritage of dress. Posterity learns to chip a stone knife and to chop off 2 | finger joint with it in mourning or prayer. Firearms shoot down me and human beings. Rulers elaborate | law for large states and devise torture | chembers. “Biologists study heredity and then try to tinker with human beings. The result is largely to nullify the goal achieved. As if life were not an in- exhaustible source of ills, man gratui- tously adds to his load. The struggle is no longer one of adaptation to Na- turs, but largely with the trolls that infest our hearts and brains. Is the game worth the candle?” The existence of a large mass of or- ganized knowledge does not mean that a people is extending its culture. FOREIGN FILl;fiS PRESAGE NEW HOLLYWOOD CLASS Movie Stars May Have to Study Other Languages as Well as Diction for Talkies. HOLLYWOOD (#).—Movie stars who Portuguese Observe Republic Birthday, Free 114 Criminals By the Associated Press. LISBON, Portugal, October 5. Portugal celebrated the nine teenth anniversary of the found- ing of the republic today. Pres- ident Carmona reprieved sen- tences of 114 criminals and re- duced the sentences of deserving long-term prisoners. The President was the central figure in a parade in which Portugal's best regiments filed past the chief of state down the Avenida Libertade in a ceremony ending at the monument to the national heroes of the revolution of 1910. The monument was decorated lavishly with flowers. President Carmona received members of the diplomatic_corps and others at the Belem Palace. Free rations were issued to the poor of the capital, in accordance with the time-honored custom. THOUSANDS CHEER National Legion Commander Boden- hamer Vociferously Welcomed on His Return to Little Rock. By the Associated Press. LITTLE ROCK, Ark, October 5.— Despite inclement weather thousands turned out here yesterday to welcome Maj. C. L. Bodenhamer, new commander of the American Legion, on his return from the national convention at Louls- ville, Ky. A crowd of cheering admirers met his special train as it arrived at 1:33 p.m. || and a committee headed by Gov. Parnell || and mayors of Little Rock and North Little Rock greeted him with an official || welcome. ) In response Comdr. Bodenhamer de- clared he would seek to make the Legion organizatior? even a greater one for the upbuilding of America than it had been. “In receiving this office of honor and responsibility, in no sense do I feel it is ersonal victory,” he said. attributing || it largely to “all my friends in Arkansas, who have been so faithful and loyal.” Comdr. Bodenhamer rode with Gov. Parnell and State Comdr. R. L. Gordon in a parade through the business sec- tions of Little Rock and North Little Rock. Bodenhamer was cheered by thousands who lined the curbs. i Due to late arrival of his train a| luncheon planned in his honor was called off. The Legion chief boarded a | train for Eldorado shortly after the parade. ROYALhfiREEl{ VILLA MAY BECOME STATE COLLEGE! King George Bequeathed Estate, i Now in Dispute, to Son Who Fled Nation. CORFU, Greece (#).—Mon Repos, | the Greek royal villa standing high on the coast of the Island of Corfu, after passing into the hands of an English valet of the name of Blower, is once more to see a change. Tt probably will | become an educational institution. The villa was occasionally occupled | by the late King George I of Greece. ter his assassination in 1913 it was | found that he, believing it to be his own | private property, had bequeathed it to | urth son, Prince Andrew. { Andrew narrowly escaped being shot | by a court-martial in connection with the Asia Minor disaster in 1922 and fled the country. Since then the villa has been occupied by his English servant, Blower, and his wife. Now the state claims the estate, con- tending that it never has been_ the property of the crown. When the Brit- ish ceded Corfu, with the other six Ionian islands, to Greece in 1864 the treaty handed over Mon Repos to the Greek state, not the King. If the state establishes its claim it expects to open a college on the site. FRENCH FIGHT SLEEPING Malady Is Being Wiped Out| Through Efforts of Mission Headed by Dr. Jannot. YAOUNDE, Kamerun (#).—Sleeping | sickness, so prevalent when this was a German colony, is in a fair way of | being stamped out by the Freich man- | date administration. Credit for this is due to the devoted | efforts of a permanent medical mission, headed by Dr. Emile Jannot, which has been working since 1926. The principal center of infection is on the river Nyong. It is so virulent that trypanosoma were found in the blood of 66.500 out of the 145000 in- habitants subjected to tests. From this and othef centers the disease had spread over 50,000 square miles inhabited by 800,000 natives. ‘The mission has visited every village }u}cm area and examined every inhab- || POR— Attendance at the recent agricultural show at Dublin, Ireland, broke all pre- vious record: ‘The modern sculptured bobs| do wonders to bring out your personality.
