_VOUL. XCIIHI. NEW LIFE INSURANGE POLICIES ARE READY. War Risk Bureau Prepared to Con- vert Service Men's Insurance. The new life insurance policies into which the war risk insurance written during the war may be converted have been approved by Secretary of the Treas. ury Houston and are now ready, the War Risk Insurance Bureau announces. There are six permanent forms of Government insurance, namely: Ordi- nary life ; Twenty-payment life ; Thirty payment life ; Twenty-year endowment; Thirty-year endowment, and Endow- ment maturing at age of 62 years, Principal features included in Government insurance contracts are that the insurance is payable either in one sum, in elected installments for an agreed number ot mouths or payable in installments through life. Also, the policies provide for total and permanent disability benefits for the insured cov- ering the entire period the policy is in force and during the insured’s total and permanent disability. Policies are issued to former and act- ive service men and women of the American military forces, on terms which have been made exceptionally fav- orable, in recognition of their services, as the government pays all the costs of administration. A total of 4,610,388 applications for War Risk insurance, representing more than $40,000,000,000 have been received, In'many cases, the applicants have been awaiting definite announcement of the terms of the new policies before apply- ing for conversion to the permanent forms. To date, the bureau has settled 127,151 claims for death and total ability, amounting to $1,135,522,173.45. There remain only 5 119 claims pending and in these cases claimants are benefici- aries in many instances Tesiding in for- eign countries where cond disturbed that commun possible. the dis- S80 ication not is MILLIONS FOR NEW SCHOOLS.

She had a cruel caste system under which the man of lower caste had no more rights than a dog. That has been, done away with. Her people once had no religious rights and her women once were mere chattels Wonderful reforms have been accom- plished but none more pronounced than the granting of religious freedom to the people and the recognition of women as equals with men.” According to Dr. Scott, Japan has been unable to build schools fast enough. Ninety-seven per cent of the children of school age are being edu. cated.

What the Centre Hall High school boys did to the Boalsburg High school team a short time ago, the State College team did to Centre Hall, Wednesday of last week, only “more so.” Well satisfied with their victory over the Boalsburg boys, the local team went after bigger game, but like the inexperienced hunts- man, when he encountered his first deer or bear in the woods, got shaky in the knees and lost his nerve. Tpe Centre Hall High school students were simply outclassed and were forced to a humilia- ting defeat, the final score being 13 to 1. ‘he reason is apparent,—brought up in a strictly athletic environment, the State College boys have every opportunity for becoming more proficient in the national game, But while as team they may have shown smoother play, let it be said to the credit of our boys that taken indi- vidually, a number of them compare fa- vorably and even excel their more pre- tentious High schocl rivals, Newton Crawford can show 'em alla few tricks in hitting and Belding ; ; William Sweet- wood and ‘‘Honey’'' Emery are sure catches in the outfield ; Russel Reish can’ whip them from deep ‘‘short” to first in fine style ; Ernest Frank keeps the base runners in fear of his whip”, while Harry Gross pitches well enough, but must be more ably supported by his infielders. | This proved to be the weak spot in the defense. The right kind of coaching would do much to remedy this fault and bring the team to a higher de- gree of proficiency. State's pitcher, Galbraith, a 16-year- old Freshman, pitched a fine game and fooled the batters witl He struck out twelve, eye on the ball and hits, We'll say nothing more game, but, better luck next time, The following is the box score STATE COLLEGE H.
