It separates Kast Prussia entirely from the rest of Germany, being a narrow strip of territory which connects Poland with the Daltic Sea. Therefore all railway travel to ItiiKsiu and the new Haltic slates as well as Kast Prussia, must pass over tills corridor, and riobody enn Miter Dunzlg from the west by land without touching Polish soil. While Polish vIkos are required for all persons who wish lo enter Danzig by rail from"the west, few travelers going Trom Jlerlin or oth er cities In the west know of this regulation. Danzig Ik a free city. No Danzig visa Is necessary to enter that city. t 'onsequenlly tourists assume that a trip from Hamburg or Herlln to Danzig does not Involve any border dlf I'feulttcH. But there is great illHilluslonment when they reaeh the polish Corri dor. All passengers destined for Dunzlg, who have no Polish visa, aro locked Into cars which are seal ed while the trains stop In Danzig and arc not unlocked until the train reaches German noil again In this city. Consecjueniiy, Mnrientwrg has become a popular refuge for trav- ! elers who have no Polish chop on their passports. This city has be come the chief station on an un derground railway leading Into Danzig, and on an average t0 mo torcars dally leave Mnricnhurg for Danzig, taking a highway which does not touch Polish territory be tween Marieiiburg and Danzig. This traffic In amazed passen gers who are scarcely able to un derstand what the mystery is all about is In no sense Illegal. It is merely n clever subterfuge whirh For Ten Years the World's Greatest Buy1 Hudson's position as the world's greatest value is not merely a new attainment. For ten years the Super-Six has stood alone in mechanical supremacy. Basic patents have kept ' others from copying its motor. The smoothness and long : life it gives are exclusive. No motor has yet equaled the Super-Six in smoothness and long, economical car life. HUDSON COACH 1345 SEDAN.SIWnr 1795 7Pnstr$1895 . Freight and Tax Extra The World's Largest Builders of Six Cylinder Closed Cars Ledbetter Garage ft TMT Thousands Of Dollars To The Widows and Orphans Through Lack Of Knowledge Of Insurance Estates Life insurance is purchased for protection it cannot provide protection in case of your death and prove an investment at the same time. If you buy any kind of policy that pretends to offer both protection and investment together, you are paying for two thinffs and cannot possibly pet more than ONE of them. For example: If you have a $1,000 endowment policy maturing in 20 years, you pay a much higher rate for that policy than for term insurance bought for protection only. If you die before the twenty years elapse, yon receive only (lie face of the policy, $1,000, or only (he protection of the policy a protection that you could have purchased in term insurance nt a much smaller annual premium. If you live 20 years, you receive $1,000 in cash and realize your investment but you immediately lose' your protection. You have paid for both llii'oiighnut 20 years but receive only one.
