Cheering reports that continued to come from the bedside of William Howard Taft lessened the tension today from Asheville, N. C. Already the former President and Chief Justice has shown such a marksd improvement that sicians have said he might rec his strength sufficiently to leave the sick room.

He is suffering from a weakened heart, a breakdown of his circulatory system and a recurrence of a bladder complaint. 3 y, however, Mr. Taft was able od in addition to ch he has been was considered to have aided much in Testoring his resistance to disease. During the day he was more lucid nd at longer intervals. He recognized members of the family and his physi- cians, Dr. Francis R. Hagner and Dr. Thomas A. Claytor. The patient was cheerful and at times there was & semblance of the old Taft smile. His daughter, Mrs. Helen Taft Man- ning, a member of the faculty at Bryn Mawr College, joined the family group at her father's home during the day.

House Aide Dies I WILLIAM_F VILLE WATER {HYATTS Work of Dismantling Old Land- mark Will Be Begun Thi§ Week. Special Dispatch to The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., February 10— Because it has outlived its usefulness, the water tank which for some 30 years has stood on the hill near Wine avenue and Franklin street here will be dis- mantled, probably this week. Contract for the work has been awarded to a Clarendon, Va. concern and is expected to be completed in a short time. The tank will be taken down piece by piece. It was with the installation of the municipal water system here, approxi- mately 30 years ago, that the tank was erected. At the time of its erection the late Dr. Joseph R. Owens was chair- man of the town water board, it was recalled today by Judge John J. Fain- ter, who was elected to the common council shortly after installation of the water system. Judge Fainter succeeded C. A. M. Wells, prominent banker and attorney, on the council. Though the passing of the tank will improve nearby property values, removing what is more or less of an eyesore, many residents who as boys have risked parental wrath by sifllnz its heights will miss the land- mar] With the taking over the Hyattsville water system by the Washington Sub- urban Sanitary Commission several years ago, the tank continued to be used. However, because of insufficlent elevation and capacity its use was dis- continued about a year ago. BUS HEARING HELD. Virginia Corporation Board Hears Plans to Change Routes.

You think of your life insurance as an im- I portant factor in your plans for yourself and your families, but I doubt whether you yet | compretiend what you are actually doing for the world at large. I am \speaking to you now as a part of the 70,000,000 people insured in all companies lin the Uxiited States and Canada. I am speaking to you as part owner of the $19,000,- |000,000 whiich has actually been assembled for the protection of beneficiaries under the $110,000,000),000 of coverage which now exists. Never before in the history of the world have individwals voluntarily, privately and co-operatively pledged such a sum for mutual protection or'for any purpose. This coveryge exceeds the total resources of all the banks in the United States and (anada, inclu}jng savings banks, by about $34,000,000,000. It is equal to all the re- sources of all onir Foundations and Endowments for Education and Research, multi- | plied many times. Our educational, medical, scientific and charitable institutions are in the hands of tmslics whose powers are wisely limited by the terms of the instruments on which the trusts rest. The Trustees of these foundations seldom have any very wide discretion as to how, funds under their control shall be distributed. Neither have we. \ | Outstanding life \nsurance ($110,000,000,000) is the greatest trust ever created. It, ! . o . . . too, is managed by Brustees. The Trustees are the Directors of the various companies with whom continuoualy sit certain familiar figures. They are Life, Death, Disability, | Necessity and Old Age, | Death has heretofore, been a terrible figure because life was not organized against him. Now life is so organized. 'Death will ultimately come to all of us. Nobody doubts that and nobody can change it. The terror of Death (I am not now considering lany religious question) lies in his cruel, remorseless and uncertain stroke. In that has been his victory. \ Life Insurance faces Death not as a Terror but as a fact and deals with him just as it deals with bonds or real estate mortgages. Let me show you how vital those $110,000,000,000 are. Back of these pledged bil- lions lie three great forces: First—the $19,000,000,000 int cash and securities in hand; Second—the seventy million people who have contracted, direct! pay future premiums; Third—the power of compound interest. Together they make that $110,000,000,000 the most vital and useful force in all sociology. Now try to visualize what is coming. Outstanding Insurance will become $200,000,- 000,000, $300,000,000,000, possibly much more, but it will always have those three great ’ forces, the first two correspondingly, increased behind it. Because of its peculiar rela- il tion to the weaknesses and needs of human life it is and always will be worth more than a like sum in cash, To illustrate— Death sits with this great Board of Trustees and Death still strikes, but, in your case, not as of old. Life also sits with the Board, and by quickly translating individual pro: ductive power into cash it despoils Death of his old and faithful servitor, Poverty. Disability, crueler than Death, also sits with that Board and demands and receive: stipulated sums when the bread winner fails and becomes a burden. Necessity and Old Age also sit with that Board ard are covered by the underlying instruments. y or indirectly, to All these benefits are specified in the Great Deed of Tru‘si‘—the policies in force. Some of you, most, I hope, will agree when I say that Life Insurance has come tol be the most important beneficial enterprise in the manifold problems of living. My main point is that you, beginningw ith your individual needs and obligations, have not only minimized the terrors of Death, Disability and Old Age, but you have come, as a group, to be one of the largest holders of useful securities in the world. You are the only group that ever existed having the courage and sanity in the ctlxrrent pfroblemn of living to rob Death of his terrors by dealing with him as a ultimate fact. As a group you are not capitalists, yet you have become the greatest of capitalists. Following your impulse of self-protection you have created the greatest of all bene ficial institutions. Seeking to banish the need of charity from your own household, you have shown how the need of charity may be completely banished from every household DARWIN P, KINGSLEY, President; N [ New York, January 27, 1930.
