RECEIVER IN
VICTORY
CASE I
Chicago.—(ANP)—Conducting a
hearing into the affairs of the Vic-
tory Life Insurance company, Tues-
day, Federal Judge James Wilker-
son, accepted the recent report of
the co-receivers, A. A. McKinley
and James W. Gullet, made in De-
cember, and osdered that the re-
ceivership be made permanent, so
that the receivers might be clothed
with the power to operate the bus-
iness to the advantage of the pol-
icyholders.
At the December meeting of the
stockholders of the company when
the report of the co-receivers was
read, a committee was appointed to
devise a plan to either make up the
current impairment as reported by
the receivers, or to prepare a pro-
gram for taking over the company
on a solvent basis.
Dr. L. K. Williams, president of
the National Baptist Convention, is
chairman of that committee, which
has four other members, including
Anthony Overton, former president
of the board of the company.
Judge Wilkerson gave that com-
mittee forty days in which to pro-
duce a plan. Dr. Williams said that
he felt confident the committee
would be able to do so in that time.
It is reported that the committee is
considering some form of mutual-
ization.
. Judge Wilkerson also authorised
the receivers to accept bids for the
reinsurance of the policyholders of
the company with some other Illi-
nois company.

Sheriff Smells
Liquor a Long Way
Abbeville, S. C.—(ANP)—Will
Bolden, said to be a veteran 'shin-
er, thought he knew all about con-
cealing stills, but he reckoned with-
out the nose of the sheriff of Ab-
beville county.
Mr. Fjlden had a small room six
by eight feet under his house fitted
up with all the para.ihanalia to
manufacture liquor. The entrance to
the room was covered by a house,
the abode of a faithful lop-eared
hound dog time when a run was
made. A complete outfit with a bar-
rel of beer ready for a run wai cap-
tured and Bolden, the washpot, the
hound dog and the still are now in
the keeping of the keen-nosed sher-
iff of Abbeville county.
his school-Ufe he is learning to han-
dle new toys and new tools—an es-
sential part of his training! But
you have to teach him the habit of
having clean hands."
"You know how often a child
touches his hands to his face, at
play, at work, and in eating." If
they are dirty they may carry dan-
gerous disease germs to his mouth
and nose. The most dangerous dis-
eases of childhood are often caught
in just this way—measles, scarlet
fever, infantile paralysis, typhoid
fever, colds, influenza, and diph-
theria. Altogether in over 90 per
cent of death-causing communica
ble diseases the germs enter
through the nose and mouth.
"Teach your child to wash his
hands before every meal, and al
ways after going to the toilet."
Regular bathing, clean hair, and
clean teeth all are discussed. The
bath should be "a simple routine
job" which includes washing in the
tub thoroughly.
"Every child is benefited by reg-
ular bathing—benefited in health,
happiness, and self-respect.
"While a bath every day is the
ideal, a child should have at least
two cleansing baths a week.
"Bathing helps the skin throw
off waste products. It also has a
beneficial effect on the circulation
and rests the muscles and nerves."
