with a New Jersey insurance company
in her favor, designating her as Evelyn
Cummings, his wife. When he died the
legal wife sought to secure the insur-

her favor. The supreme court, however,
holds that the policy was in the nature
of contract, and that it must be up

Secretary Houser plans to locate

and cooperation. and he will also ask
the aid of the Chambers of Commerce
Of Decatur, Charleston, Scottdale and
other towns between Atlanta and
stone Mountain. Meetings will be
held in each town, to be followed by

Mr.. Allen said the bureau is in
touch with capitalists who have
promised to erect a roadhouse and
barbecue pavilion at the Mountain on
condition that a road be constructed
shat can be used by automobiles.
Work on the roadhouse wilt begin as
soon as the road is assured.
