WE have in the past disposed of the bugbear of " Proof of Ago ” by getting the member, immediately after receiving hie Policy, to furniuh whatever evidence he can, e n , in default of copy of the begiater of hja Birth, an extract from Family Bible or other record, a Declaration by one of hia parents or other relative able to make one as to date of birth, or any document supporting hia own statement. Failing all these, we have accepted the Member’s Statutory Declaration; and so far, we admit, our practice has been that of moat other Mutual Life Offices m Australasia. , . ... We have now pleasure m announcing that the Board have authorised our going a step further by undertaking the task of searching for evidence of age for every proponent who cannot himcolf produce it. Moat of our new members are Australian born, and as Kegistratiou of Births has been compulsory since 1850, wo do not anticipate much trouble in obtaining their Birth Certificates j still less for those born in the United Kingdom; in fact, we have pursued this plan for some years past whenever the assured so requested, and doubtless our contemporaries have done the same. The difference henceforth will be that we shall charge ourselves with the duty of seeking for evidence of ago, instead of throwing the onus of it on the members. ....
