WAR RISK INSURANCE DECISION
Soldiers Heirs Receive Money in Case
of Benefciary's Death

VOL AA0A AAoOA 0NSSS SASt 49, tS1m VI
contract insurance, issued by the gov
ernment as a war time measure un-
der the provisions Of the War Risk
act, is payable to the beneficiary des-
ignated by the insured, but, should
this beneficiary die, the installments
Of insurance becoming payable after
his death shall be distributed in like
manner as the estate Of the insured,
descending to the soldiers heirs and
not to the heirs Of the beneficiary, no
matter whether will may have been
executed by that beneficiary to the
contrary.
This is the substance Of the decis-
ion handed down by Federal Judge
Whitmer in the case Of Cassarello VS..
United States, recently tried in the
district court Of the United States,
Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Lawrence Siegle, while in the SER
vice in the United States army, ap-
piled for $4,000 insurance, designat-
ing as beneficiary "stepbrother Patsy
Gillette"
The insured died October 20, 1918.
A question as to the identity Of the
beneficiary arose, he having been
known as Patsy Giletti, Patrick Gil
letto, Patrick Chilant and other vari-
ations Of the original Italian name.
Before it had been established that
the designated beneficiary was full
brother Of the insured soldier, the ben
eficiary died. He left a will naming
Savino Cassarello as executor Of his
estate, empowered to collect the war
risk insurance installments which had
accrued, as well as those which should
become due and to transmit these fu-
ture installments to the beneficiary's
wife and daughter.
To effect this the executor brought
action against the United States.
As to the installments which had
accrued prior to the beneficiary's
death and remaining unpaid at that
time, there was no dispute. They
passed according to the beneficiary's
will, as they were already due the
beneficiary's estate. The contest had
to do with the installments not yet
payable when the beneficiary died, and
it was claimed by the executor that
these also were part of the bene-
ficiary's estate.
The court, however, decided, and
thereby upheld an opinion Of the gen.
eral counsel Of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, that beneficiary un-
der the War Risk act is entitled to in
surance installments only so long as
he lives and that thereafter the insur-
ance installments must be distributed
to those persons surviving the soldier
who would be entitled to the soldiers
estate under the laws of intestacy of
the soldiers state of residence.

NEW PAIGE FOR
 USE IN JAPAN
Special Built Car Needed for Narrow Street and Light
 BridqeS

When Charles B. Warren, lately ap- pointed amba ssador to Japan, opened negotiations for the embassy's motor equipment he found unexpected diff faculties in his way. Automobile men with export experience told him that a limousine of standard American make would not do. For Tokio's streets are narrow and her many bridges are of light bamboo, amply strong to carry the lighter burdens that make up the traffic of the little men of Nippon, but never intended to carry a big American car and it's burden of seven full-sized white men.
 Colonel Warren will use an Ameri- can car. Paige 6-44 The chassis is already well on it's way across the Pacific. But the body will be Tokio- built of a size and weight to come within the requirements of Japans traffic regulations. The new car will be generously large for the embassy's s Japanese guests, though the colonel will find it bit tight should he have occasion to offer three or four Caucasian friends ride together.
 New models of the Paige are on display at the showrooms of the De- troit Motor Co. 6l9 Twenty-first St. South.

Automobile Editor. Birmingham Age Herald, Birmingham. Dear Sir It has come to my mo- tice recently that there Is a move ment on foot to carry President Hard ing in an, automobile which is not built in the Birmingham district when ne comes to our city to celebrate with us strictly Birmingham celebra- tion.
 Now we are all for Birmingham and that being the case we must all be TOT Birmingham people and Birmingham made merchandise in every instance possible. l have a very decided in- terest in seeing all Birmingham in dustries prosper and l firmly believe that all of the merchants and firms in this district will prosper in the measure of cooperation which we collectively give to each other
 just want to take this opportunl- ty of protesting in my feeble way against Ignoring our own manuiac- turer of automobiles.
 If there is any way in which you can get this before the people who are handling the above phase of the semi centennial l believe that 1t Will have a slight effect on their decision and they will endeayor to show any one who has advanced the idea or overlooking our home company that the unselfish attitude would be to boost for Birmingham in every re- spect Very truly yours,

REDUCED PRICE
 FOR NASH FOUR

Coming as a distinct surprise to those in the automobile industry most familiar with motor car values is the announcement of the Nash Motors company of a sweeping reduction in prices of all models of the Nash Four The passenger touring car has been reduced $50, making the new price s1,O45: the two passenger road ster now sells for s1,025, the three passenger coupe, $1,645, and the five passenger sedan $l,S35.
 These prices are all fob, Milwau- kee, and are affective immediate.
 When the Nash Four went into pro- duction a little over a year ago the touring car was priced at S1395, the coupe sold for $1,9s5 and the sedan for S2,1S5. From the moment the car was introduced it's value was unquestioned and it won immediate favor with the public.
 q believe I am entirely safe in say ing that at it's new price the Four represents by big margin the great est automobile value in the history of the motor car industry, said Sterling Floyd of the whitman Floyd Motor company, local Nash distributors, now at 414 Tw enty- first street, south.

Buick Secures First Position
 at New York Sho W

good record for sales and deliveries in this branch for the month of Oc- tober and we want to thank you and your sales organization for the busi- ness they have produced in the past several months, which has been very gratifying to us.
 "In fact. your sales during the past four months, aggregating 125 cars, have been the best among the At .lanta branch dealer organization.
 "We are glad to see the business which you are giving us on the new four cylinder models, and this is in Keeping with the wonderful demand which these models are enjoying throughout the entire country. In fact, it is keeping the branch here busy supplying the dealers demands for this product which the company added to the 1922 line.
 "The public seems to sense the fact that these cars are priced to offer the greatest motor car bargain that Buick has ever produced, which is no doubt true when we consider that the profit to the branch and the profit to you is less than on any model which we have manufactured during our entire career.

ROADS PAVED

Roads paved with cottou-verit- able fleece-rned highways-are the latest thing in the west
 The fact that old King Cotton had been relegated to this lowly, though extremely useful duty was not gem erally known, even in California. where the cotton boulevard" idea seems to have originated. until the discovery was made short time ago by q road scouting party down In the Imperial valley
 "Old S00.000,' the famous Dodge Brothers car used by the Alhertson Motor company, Dodge Brothers dealer in Los Angeles. was going through the valley on her regularly appointed task of finding new points of Interest for tourists. when a ahead of the tedious, sandy path over which the car mad been pulling snow-white road suddenly loomed for hours The driver was perplexed and it was not until he got out and made an examination that he found the explanation. It was 8 carpet of cotton, stretching as far beyond him as he could see
 UT the nlSlWaNS, the TOauS or Itn- nerial valley In the vicinity of Indio Coachella and Mecca, and throughout the whole 1mperial valley in general. are poor, the constantly shifting sandy soil preventing the wearing of trails and country roads.
 So, in order to make satisfactory roads for the purpose of inter-com- munication, the farmers have found that raw cotton makes an excellent surface for automobile and teams alike.
 It was found that many other roads which branch of the main highways leading to the farms and ranches were similarly paved" The cotton pods seem to bed down In the sand of the road and give a good traction surface, especially for light automo- bile traffic.
 That cotton. maker of fortunes during the war years of 1917 and 1918, should be so valueless that if can be used for making roads Is due to the collapse of the cotton market in late 1919 and early 1920.
 Recently. however there has been sharp revival and the cotton grow ing industry in the Imperial valley,

SOLUTION OF RUST MYSTERY

By Science Service.
 Lake Placid Club. N. VA new theory explaining the rusting of iron was advanced here by J. Newton Friend of Birmingham, England, at the meeting of the. American Electro Chemical society.
 What happens when iron rusts Is a metallurgical mystery, Mir. Friend believes that the corrosion starts "by the formation of colloidal fer rous hydroxide which latter is al- ternately reduced by contact with iron and oxidized by contact with, air, thus continuing the corrosion and the production of rust
 He also has found by experiment that although piece of iron rusts badly when in water moving about 9 half a mile an hour that when the velocity is two and half miles an hour or more, there is practically no rusting at all.
