New Life Table
To Alte Alter Costs

Incroasell Lite fs Life Expectancy
Reflected i in Revised |
Payment Schedule.

{

NEW YORK. ~ On January 1,~
1948, life insurance companies will:
abandon a mortality table they:
have used since 1868. They are re-:
placing it with a new table that
bears a-more reasonable relation-~
ship to the current mortality rate.:

Under. the old _ table, children~
reaching one year of age had a life.
expectancy of 48.94 years. The new:
rate.increases this to 63.76 years.:

For people reaching 20, the old
table gave them 42.20 additional!
years. The new ~table gives them
46.54 more years.

According to the old table, 98 out
of every 1,000 policyholders died at~
the age of 40. According to the new
listing only 62 die.

The new table, known as the 1941
commissioners standard ordinary
table of mortality, reflects the
actual life and death experience of
policyholders of almost all life insurance companies between 1930
and.1940.

As a result of amendments ~o-.
state laws, it will go into effect in
about 40 states January 1, replacing
the 79-year-old American experi-;
ence table of mortality on that gate.

The new table gives life insurance
companies a new basis for calculating values. The Institute of Life Insurance describes it as a new pat.
tern of cast.

New Cost Pattern.

The new pattern applies only to
policies issued on or after January
1, 1948.

Those already in force will continue on their present basis.

~This is a more equitable distribution of cost than we've ever
had,~~ the institute said. ~In the
lower age levels, where mortality is
low, net cost to policyholders will
be a little lower than it is now. In
some age levels, where mortality
increases, it will be a littie higher.
But the over-all cost is about the
same.~

The following figures, obtained
from a major New York life insurance. company, illustrate the point:

A man takes out a~ $1,000 partieipating life insurance policy at the
age of 25. At the end of two years,:
the net cost at present to him would
be $26.74. Net cost for the same
policy under the new system at the
end of two years would be $19.77.

~Basis for Figuring.

According. to insurance~ men,
adoption of the new mortality ~_
accomplishes three things:

It provides a better basis for cal-.
culating; reserves and non-forfeiture;
benefits| of new policies, and bal-'
ances more closely the amount paid:
as premiums with what their bene-'
ficiaries will receive as benefits.

It establishes a direct basis for:
determining non-forfeiture benefits
to which policyholders are entitled:
when they turn in their policies.~
The cash surrender value after 10
years of a participating $1,000 in-;
surance policy, issued at age 25, is,
now $98.98. The same.policy, under
the new system, would pay $143.58.'

Many companies after January 1
will decrease the rate of interest;
guaranteed in new life insurance
policies. Since 1930, the rate earned
on invested funds has dropped from!
414 per cent to 3 per cent. A de-,
creased intérest rate, however, has.
no affect on premiums. Cost of insurance is regulated by the actual.
mortality experience of ~the com-,
pany issuing the policy.

WASHINGTON.~The war department said that Alaska test maneuvers had proved the army must develop new equipment if it expects to

Summarizing findings of task

A different kind of tank from

Critics of such armor say tanks.

zero seems to be the breaking point
for their crews.

The account said Kane estimateg
a man lost his efficiency at the rate
of 2 per cent for every degree under

_zero. One officer spent six hours in

a tank at subzero temperatures and
reported his efficiency at the end of
the period as nil.

Maj. Myron Johnson, tank test~officer of ~Frigid,~ and Capt. George
J. Skeets, commanding Company B
of the 66th tank battalion, disagreed
with Colonel Kane. They said the
present tank could be modified to
surmount Arctic:conditions.

_ For 600 years the Chinese guarded
well their craft of paper making.
Then Arabs took as their prisoners
some Chinese paper makers and
conveyed them to Samarkand where
they compelled them to disclose

later an army from Morocco captured a number of Arabian paper
makers. They forced the Arabs té
give their countrymen the secret.: Boy Wonders

Speaking of Averages

The average cow eats 100 pounds

25 pounds of milk. An average
American. family owns 3 beds. The
average American uses 26 pounds

an.ually.- The average housewife
washes 6 tons of dishes a year.

Safety Education Pays

The only age group to show a decrease in accidental deaths in 1946
was the 5-to-14-year-olds, which fell
8 pér cent, according to the National Safety council. Safety experts attributed the decrease to the
effectiveness of safety education in
the school age group, and the safety

The nickel used. was mined in the

Sausage Apple

To stuff apples with sausage, pare
and core the apples, and fill the cavity in the apple with pork sausage,
either in links or in bulk. A generous amount of sausage is allowed
for each apple. Any excess sausage
which cannot be stuffed into the
apple may be left on top or around
the apple. When_the apples are

stuffed, they are baked until soft and~

the sausage thoroughly cooked. The
home economists suggest that these
sausage stuffed apples may be used
as a main dish for luncheon.

The mechanism can be operated

Chocolate and cocoa stains should
be removed as soon as possible, and

always before laundering. For white~

Easy Nailing
Dry native lumber is rather difficult to nail, but the following suggestions may help: 1. Lubricate
nails with beeswax or transmission
grease. Beeswax can be inserted.
into the hammer handle by drilling
a hole in the grip. A small amount
on the tip of the nail is sufficient.
2. Splitting can be reduced by blunting the tip of the nail. 3. Ease the

nail in with light blows.
