UNI MATURITY
LOAN VALUE IN TERRITORY OF
ALASKA ESTIMATED TO BE
$107,619
-—
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. (/P)—Sat
urday, January 1, meant more than a
mere New Year’s holiday for thou
sands of American World War vet
erans.
It ushered in the lawful period du
ring which those who served in the
great conflict and were entitled to
more than the $50 cash in adjusted
service credit, may, if they desire,
obtain the first benefits from their
20-year insurance policies or bonus
certificates by depositing them as se
curity for loans.
It is estimated that there are ap
proximately 3,048,932 such certificates
in the hands of veterans or depend
ents of deceased service men, with a
face value of $3,137,658,062, and that
loans up to $262,540,000 may be made
during the year 1927 on that aggre
gate. Applications for certificates
may be made up until January 1, 1928.
While it is inevitable that many
service men or families of those who
failed to return from overseas who are
holders of certificates will exercise
the loaning privilege, Frank T. Hines,
Director of the Veterans Bureau,
hopes that beneficiaries will forego
such a step to any appreciable extent
on the ground that it would be more
advantageous to the holder to keep
his certificate unencumbered to the
date of maturity.
The earliest date of any of the
bonus policies is January 1, 1925, and
as the law' provides that loans may
be made any time after twTo years
from date of issuance, this New
Year’s will find hundreds of the early
applicants eligible for loans. Others
will become eligible during the year
at the expiration of the tw'o-year pe
riod from the date of their certifi
cates.
The average amount that may be
obtained by loans during the year
1927 is approximately eight and one
half cents on the dollar of the face
value of the certificate. Loans may
be made at any National or State
bank up to 90 per cent of the current
value of the certificate. Thus, on a
$1,000 policy, at the end of two years,
a loan of $878.93 could be made, in
terest excluded. On the same policy,
at the end of 19 years, a loan of
$831.23 would be possible.
Failure of a veteran to make good
the loan at maturity date w'ill result
in the bank or trust company turning
over his certificate to the Veterans
Bureau, wrhich will hold it for the full
period of negotiability and turn over
the balance after deducting the loan
and interest. The government will
make good to the bank.
Estimates of the amount of loan
values wrhich will become available
for the next four years follow:
*1927—$262,538,344; 1928, $370,910,
606; 1929, $82,048,654,654; 1930, $590,
893, 686.
The loan value by Territorial pos
session and for non-residents, for 1927
is: Alaska, $107,619.

SKETCHY RECORD OF BROKEN
HOPES EXTEND FAR BACK
PATENT OFFICE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. (JP)— Even
knowledge of the realistic laws of
mathematictics does not make in
ventors immune to the romantic lure
of one of the oldest fallacies cherish
ed by human beings.
Belief that inanimate matter can
be so patterned that it will, after re
ceiving an initial human impulse,
produce perpetual motion is shown
by the Patent Office records to re
main the cardinal faith of an aston
ishing number of dreamers.
Many have been men of consider
able erudition, and some have to
their credit inventions of sound
worth. Most of them have experienc
ed the elation of apparent success
until their little machines were stop
ped by the laws of nature.
A sketchy record of broken hopes
extends far back into the .files of the
Patent Office. The only estimate of
the number of applications to patent
perpetual motion devices received
since the office was established is a
vague “thousands”. None of the de
vices has been found patentable
after examination by experts.
