MAItlKMII'lia, Kant Prussia
(Al') Tho Polish Corridor has
probably been the promoter of
more profanity than any other cre
ation of the Versailles trenty. 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.

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.
Insure For Protection Only - Save Separately For Investment
The following table shows the eight most used forms of life insurance policies and the rates charged, all paying the same amount in case of death. It also shows the amount of in
vestment element, lost in event, of death at various periods during the life of the policies:
