- For the last 21 days of March, head
quarters for the Oregon department
of the American Legion in the Mor
gan building handled government in
surance business reaching the sur
prising total of 69S.0O0. this being
the amount of conversions and rein
statement policies written, according
to an announcement of William B.
Follctt, state commander, yesterday.
That the April totals will exceed
this amount is expected by Edward
J. Elvers, department adjutant and
service officer of the legion, who is
Jn direct charge of the insurance
work, for the reason that the time is
drawing near when the government
' will reinstate no more policies that
have lapsed. Eighteen months from
the discharge from service is the
final date for most ex-service men,
though July 1. 19a0, has been fixed
as the last chance for men discharged
more than 18 months ago.
Variety ot Claims Handled.
A steady stream of former fighters
In the array, navy and marine corps
who are receiving advice and atten
tion in matters concerning their war
risk insurance applies daily at room
226 Morgan building, where depart
ment headquarters of the legion is
maintained. The insurance depart
ment of the legion also is handling
the claims for additional overseas
pay. travel pay, allotments, liberty
bonds, and also compensation mat
ters that are not settled after original
claims have been filed.
Records disclosed yesterday of the
Insurance business handled between
March 11 and March 31 show a total
amount of reinstatements of 1499,500,
with conversions to the new forms of
government life insurance totaling
$199,500. amounting in all the $699,000.
The reinstatements are for the term
insurance which was in force during
the war, and which is by far the
cheapest insurance in the world. It
can be maintained, however, for not
'more than five years after discharge,
at which time it must be dropped or
converted into one ot the permanent
forms of government insurance.
Permanent Insurance Attracts.
The permanent government insur
ance has been made much more at
tractive by the passage of the Sweet
bill, providing for the payment of the
insurance in a lump sum to bene
ficiaries instead of in monthly in
stallments, if desired, and having
other desirable features. Insurance
experts at the legion headquarters are
maintained to explain all these fea
tures to war veterans.
Adjutant Eivers is making every
effort to acquaint former service men
and women with their rights and
benefits under the war risk insurance
act and urges all having interest in
such matters to call or write to the
department headquarters, where in
dividual service awaits any claim
they may have asraln.it the govern
ment incident to their service during
the war.
WIVES CHARGE CRUELTY
Dliorce Complaints Filed in Hood
River Court.
HOOD RIVER. Or.. April. 6. (Spe
cial.) Three complaints for divorce
have just been filed here by wives,
each charging her husband with cruel
and inhuman treatment. One of the
women, Mrs. Christina B. Haynes, who
asks separation from Charles W.
Haynes, cites in her complaint that
she obtained a divorce in 1917 in
Baker county, but, she- alleges, her
ex-husband, by promising to mend
his ways, persuaded her to remarry
him at Goldendale, Wash., a few
months later. Mrs. Haynes says the
reform was short lived, and that her
husband soon deserted her, while she
was ill, going to The Dalles.
Mrs. Grace W. Lovell is seeking
a decree from C. E. Lovell, Odell
horseshoer and blacksmith. She filed
a complaint asking for a decree in
IBIS but withdrew her suit following
promises of the defendant to reform,
according to the latest complaint.
She charges her husband with an
uncontrollable temper and miserli
ness. Mrs. Li Hie L. Aldred charges W. G.
Aldred, formerly a local contractor,
with permitting his creditors to
1 harass her and make life miserable.
Her complaint states that the twt
were married at McMinnville in 1905.
