The matter of conversion of the
present War Hisk Insurance is of ut
most Importance. The date for the
beginning of conversion has not yet
been set, but as Boon as the President
officially declares peace or Congress
passes a special net authorizing con
version, it will be possible for all per
sons who are carrying Government
Insurance to convert i into the new
, types of policies ' It is expected that
the date for the beginning of conver
sion will be about June 1st or per
haps earlier.
In order to be able to convert the
War Risk Insurance, it is necessary
to keep up payments on the present
Insurance. These pr.yments should be
made each month by certified check
or Money Order made payable to the
Treasurer of the United States, or
forwarded to the the Disbursing
Clerk, Bureau of War Risk Insurance
Washington D. C. If the payments
are not made within the month the
Insurance autoniat'cally lapses, but
it may be re-instated upon payment
of back premiums, provided the Indl
vidual can show evidence of insur
ability. The certificate of any reput
able physician will be accepted as
evidence cf insurability. The Insur
ance may be re-instated at any time
within six months, but after that it
it lost entirely.
It is not necessary to convert the
Insurance immediately but it is ad
vlsable to convert ns quickly as
practicable, in order to take advan
tage of the lowest possible premium
The insured has five years in which
to convert, and he must not exceed
that period of time if he wishes to re
tain his insurance. It is not necessary
. to convert the Insurance into any one
particular policy. -The insurred may
carry his Insurance In several ait
ferent types of policies it he wishes.
and he may convert into these polVH
cies at ainereni uinen, tuiu m uj
amount from $1000.00 on, in inulti
pies of $500.00 the only requirement
beilg that be must convert during the
period of five years. If the insured
elects to wait a year or two before
converting his Insuranmo. he will
simrly continue to make the prem
ium payments as he is at present un
til such time as he feels he can con
vert.
The Government is goinc to con
tinue to carry the Insurance after it
is converted. The cost of carrying the
Insurance will be borne by the Gov
ernment and for that reason the
rates on these policies will be con
eiderable lower than regular Life In
turance companies granting . similar
policies. The premiums on the new
policies will always remain the same
there being no Increases from year
to year as on the present form of in
aurance.
The Government is offering six
types of policies: Ordinary life: 20
pay life: 30 pay life: 20 year endow
ment: 30 year endowment: and an
endowment policy which matures at
the ace of 62. These policies are sun
ilar to policies of the ame type is
eued by regular Life Insurance com
nanies.
Tne premium ra these policies
mnv be raid monthly, quarterly, half
yearly or yearly, as desired, and the
innnrf.fi mav chance from one
method of rayment to another at any
time he chooses to do bo. If paid
monthly, the premium will be due on
the first of the month, but may be
nald any time durinc the monin.
Tolicies may be reduced at . any
time, but not increased.
There will be no medical examina
tion required when converting to the
new forms of policies.
There is no resflctions a? to occu
nation, residence or travel.
The proceeds of al policies are non
taxable. The Insurance is unassig
nable and free from the claims of
creditors.
Dividends will be paid on these
policies annually. These dividends

may be taken in cash or deducted
from the premium, or may be left
with the Government to accumulate
at compound interest.
Cash values on these policies are
provided and the fun- value may be
obtained at any time, after the end
of the first year. Loans may also be
made on the policies up to 94 per
cent of the cash value.. .
In the event the insured finds it
necessary to lapse his policy, he may
take paid-up Insurance, extended In
surance or may receive the actual
value of the policy in cash. However
the disability clause Is no longer In
force when the option of paid-up In
surance or extended Insurance Is
taken.
In case of death, all policies are
payable to the beneficiary in 240
monthly installments. The endow
ment policies are payable to the In
sured in a lump sum, if he lives out
the period of the endowment.
All policies contain a disability
clause which provides for payments
to the assured in the event of total
and permanent disability. The insur
ed will receive during the period of
total disability, $5.75 a month for
each $1000.00 of Insurance carried.
If the insured lives less than 20
years, after disability, his benefici
ary will receive the remaining pay
ments necessary to complete the 20
years.
Anyone having questions which
are not covered by the above letter,
may communicate with the Navy Re
cruiting Office, 500 Paxton Block,

Most States prohibit banks from
paying Interest on dormant savings
accounts after a certain period
usually about 20 years. Here's why:
If tome person deposited a few dol
lars at compound Interest and went
off and left it, even one small account
would In time absorb all the money
In the world. Such la the power of
compound Interest.
It pays to advertise In The Herald.

The struggle of the defonlrrr. of

of a great epic in D. W. Griffith's
tremendous love story of the present
war, "Hearts of the World" which
opens its local engagement la this
city at the Imperial Theatre, May -et
and 2nd.
The film is the finest example of
Griffith's art and Is a drama of life
and love, hope and fear, Joy and sor
row and at the same time a tremend
ously Btir'lng patrotlc story. It Isn't
that Griffith's big play has more
guns In It than any other war play;
It Isn't because it shows life In Ihe
trenches as It Is, for these things
hace been shown time and time again
without number; K isn't becau.se the
photography and the exteriors are
wonderfuly beautiful, nor that the
cast is well chosen and the story in
tensely interesting and human. It Is
because every character In the piny
is real.
Dorothy Glsh, as the "Little Dis

of comedy she hnc ever done. She
is willful, truculent, defiant 'and
brazenly coy and the emotions are

Invariably natural and creates a char
acter that is life Itself. HU brother
in the film story, called "The Llttle

part with finish of a veteran. Ben Is
but five years old, out "Hearts of the

the lost rcenes, where" his limp body
Is found under the ruins of his hone,
the spectators sit rigid in their ch ir
but when they fin' be Is only fit

The story Is really that of a vil
