DAVIS LAYS DOWN
INSURANCE LAW
No Connection Permitted Btv,
tween Insurance, and Building ;
and Loan Associations /
Pennsylvania building: anil loan as
sociations may not insure their share
holders so that unmatured shares of
those who die may at once become full
paid, according to an opinion render
ed to-day to Insurance Commissioner
O'N'eil by Deputy Attorney General
Davis, who also holds that life insur
ance companies can not legally con
tract under Pennsylvania laws for pay
ment of policy benefits to an associa
tion formed for a specific purpose.
The opinion exhaustively reviews
the subject and says that building: and
loan associations can not have powers
extended beyond, those clearly ex
pressed. "The powers given to these
corporations were never intended to
be utilized as a vehicle for high
finance nor for the purpose of permit
ting the exploitation of those whom
they are intended to serve," savs tlje
opinion.
Concerning the powers of an insur
ance company, the opinion says "It
is quite apparent that, with a policy
of insurance on the life of a borrow
ing member as the security upon
which a building and loan association
had made its loan, the value of the
security would be dependent entirely
on the borrowing member dying, and
only to that extent would such policy
be security. * • • Building and
loan associations were never intended
as a means of securing business for
insurance companies. They are de
signed along independent and unre
lated lines."
Mr. Davis says that departures
from the old methods of operating
building and loan associations is "dis
advantageous to the rank and tile of
their members, and are, in most in
stances, the result of those in control
or charge of them endeavoring to ob- i
tain profits or advantages to them
selves. • • Tj le j o i n t solicita
tion of building and loan membership
and insurance, or their obstensible
connection, has been repeatedly con
demned and prohibited in this State/'

Two Power Ranges
\
Extravagant
With Economical Operation
NO longer need you forego—for reasons of economy—the
pleasure of owning a big super-powerful car of the utmost
_ _ class and distinction.
For now you may have power and speed in rare abundance
without the expense it formerly took to operate the sufrer
powerful cars in ordinary driving.
IK#i(\e Two separate and distinct power ranges make the Peerless
name'mplies * Eighty Horsepower Eight acar of "dual personality."
It has a total range of performance which hitherto has been
possible only in totally different and opposite types of cars —both
highly desirable but not previously to be had in combination.

\ In its "loafing" range the Peerless Eight gives you that quiet,
A tt Y 1 • 9 9 smooth, flexible, distinctive performance which you
/ iClfl J| would expect of a car of real class. ,***■. - •
Jl\*ClTl££& Biit in this "loafing" range it is operating on half
, rations —consuming fuel so sparingly as to put many a
lesser powered six to shame, even many a four.

And when you want or need super-power or emergency speed,
it's yours in this same Peerless Eight which serves your ordinary
requirements with such grace, distinction and economy.

power ranges increase the pleasure of driving yet meet the
requirements of economy.
