February 20. at 11 o'clock at the Catholic Community center in Fort Wayne. For the third successive year, the tournament will he held at the Central gymnasium in Fort Wayne, with Central Catholic as the host school. Eleven teams are again entered | in the meet, with only one change in the. personnel of the schools represented last year. St. Andrew's of Richmond has abandoned the hardwood sport, and its place will be taken by St. Joseph's! of Collegeville (Rensselaer), which did not compete last year. The 11 teams to compete for the l state Catholic title will be: Decatur Commodores. Central Catholic of Fort Wayne. Cathedral of Indianapolis, St. Mary's of Anderson. Reitz Memorial of Evansville. Huntington Catholic, Catholic Cen-, tral of Hammond. St. Joseph s. St. ' Paul's of Marion. St. Mary's of Michigan City, and St. Hedwige of South Bend. Anderson is the defending champion, having defeated Evans- ■ ville in last year's final tilt. Cath-1 edral of Indianapolis looms, at the present time, as the outstanding favorite to cop this year's tourney, but might easily be upset by any | of several strong teams, including Anderson. Evansville. Huntington; and Fort Wayne. As a departure from the schedule of previous years, there will be no session Saturday morning. February 27.

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY THROUGH EVERY "STORM".. SINCE 1845

Like a sturdy ship, the New York Life has come through every “storm” .. . evrey test ... safe and staunch. There are three major tests of the strength and stability of a life insurance company. Two of them apply to all financial institutions, and the third is a test of life insurance companies in particular: the panics, when thousands of people lose their hardearned savings in speculative ventures or unfortunate investments ... the wars, when the entire economic life of the na-

Two girls, about 20. in misfit dotes sat on a cot near the door- While going through the records to find if the family which was sought was loca‘e<j among refugees, a young mother and father came up to the officer in 1 charge with a physician's pass. 1 They told him their son was serious- ! ly ill in a hospital in Aurora and that he was calling tor them.

New York Life has repeatedly met these three tests since it was founded as a mutual life insurance company on April 12, 1845. In the light of the panics, wars and epidemics of the past, it should be obvious why the New Y ork Life adheres to a philosophy of conservatism. In

The town of Dillsboro is less than iu miles from Aurora, but it wa s necessary to drive nearly 60 miles to find an open road. It requlr-j rd another series of passes. Legion At Work At the town of Milan nearer by the open road to Aurora, the conditions were even wotse. The American Legion wus just turning over -he town to the National Guard. The party was conducted through the refugees' camp by a member of the t,egion, in a blue overseas ea,p. The old gymnasium here was Hard to house the flood victims. The building smelled strongly ol antiseptics. In the wire cage where basket balls and uniforms had been locked a man was seen covering up his wife who was coughing as if she were suffering from an attack of the flu. Other men and women stood around like cattle, as if unaware of where they were. Members of the Legion and Red Pfoss workers were directing the erection of tots. The members of the Legion assisted in obtaining a pass from the Red Cross headquarters, located in a furniture store This pass was good to Aurora. 1 Aurora is a town slightly smaller than Decatur. It is built sloping town on a hill to the river's edge. Approximately 160 homes in the north part of the town were unharmed. In the brigh' moonlight on the top of the hill the Ohio could ,be seen for miles, calm and peaceful. Here and there a house could I be seen partially submerged. There was no evidence of fear or confus-

investing the assets which it holds for the benefit of its P o ' - icyhoiders, the Company is guided by the principle that safety is always the first consideration. New York Life calculates its policy reserves on the most conservative basis used by American life insurance companies. The margins of safety behind a New’ York Life policy are such that a policyholder need never worry about the security of his insurance in the York Life.
