One year the increase waa as high as 18 per cent. year it was as low as four per cent. Then in 1919, came the unpar- tled increase of 62 per cent over the new business of 1918. Therefore, that the aggregate amount of new life insurance in "1921 is less than that issued in 1920, is cause neither for. sur prise nor disappointment.
