million war draft forms to men of
German blood In Vr.e United States

the destruction of democracy."
Worse Than Communism
Communism Is not so dangerous
as fascism and nazism at this point.

eon of life insurance supervisors of
New York City today that big lns'ir
ance companies could make more
money by placing institutional adver
tising In newspapers rather than mag
azines. He said:
"Bv advertising in newspapers, the
life insurance companies can fit their
copy to the specific locality and to
the pocket boots of the prospects liv
ing In those communities. . . .
"We believe that the life Insurance
companies have already convinced the
American people tin magazine adver
tisements) that lire Insurance is a
good thing to own. They need to be
told in their dally newspapers Just
how much life insurance will produce
various amounts of income for life.
