Drainage Operations
Add Many Acres to
Holland's Territory
AMSTERDAM (AP) Queen
Wilhelminu will presently find her
domain enlarged by 160 acres. The
new territory has been unnexed
from the Hfta, being the first ac
tual gain of ground as a result of
the Zuyderzee druinuge operations
according to a report recently ht-
.nied here.
This gigantic undertaking, which
deals with un area of 14 no square
miles and an estimated expendi
ture of Uti,() ud.ooii, was inter
rupted by the war, but has since
been proceeding slowly at differ
ent points.
The difficulties encountered wero
great, but none of them was un
foreseen by the hydraulic experts
In charge. Time after time, the
report .says, dykes or embankments
erected lu the section of the island
of Wieringen, slipped away Into
tho sen owing to the Hhifting naturu
of the subsoil. With the ipilet
tenacity peculiar to the Dutch in
their everlasting fight against aea
encroachment, the dvke were re
built aguln and again until they
now stand six feet above high tide,
and ao firmly knit together with
clay. sand, willow twigs, ba&alt and
cement that the fiercest gules have
done them not the slightest harm,
the report says.
The tests have been very sevt-re
this winter. Itecently during a
fierce storm the quaint island of
Murkn escaped complete submerg
ence by only a couple of Inched,

"The World's Greatest Buy"
Everyone Says It Sales Prove It'
Hudson is not called "the World's Greatest Buy" for today alone.
That is acknowledgment of ten years' constant refinement of a great car
around the famous patented Super-Six principle. The largest production
of 6-cylinder closed cars in the world give it unequaled value advantages.
All now know that higher price can buy no smoother performance
than Hudson's. It cannot buy more brilliant results in pick-up, power
or speed. It cannot buy greater reliability or endurance. At today's
prices need you own a lesser car? Can a costlier car satisfy you more?

OWED HIS OWN
Cent
Here's n man who borrowed his own money (the cash he had
saved in his insurance policy), paid (ro interest on it, and lost
Si,(i()0 in Insurance protection.
He had a $1(),()()() 20-year Endowment bought at the age or 25,
costing $ll.).8() per year. When the policy was 15 years old,
it had a cash value of $(l,(i()0. In other words he had made cash
savings of that amount and could turn his policy in and get
$i,(()ll in cash for it.
Not realizing (his, and needing readv cash badlv, he borrowed
$;,;()() on this policy at ' interest. II K l'.ORUOWF.I) HIS
OWN SAVINGS, paid interest on it, and decreased the face of
his policy (his protection) to $3,400 as long as the loan was
in force.
With his full premium and interest on his loan at 67o he was
paying 811.80 a year for his insurance and his protection was
reduced to $3,100. Had he taken the cash out, used it in his
business, he could have bought new straight life insurance at
his present age for $2.").G2 per thousand.
And he would save over two hundred dollars a year per thous
and in premiums for five years. .
