Compulsory Insurance

Although the insurance companies
are lighting this legislation most
seriously. the auto clubs object to it
primarily on the ground that 1t is
the wrong way to attack the ac-
cident problem.
Instead Of forcing every motorist
TO buy liability insurance. they con
tend existing rates should be low
cred enough to draw in most drivers
voluntarily.
Experiences Of such important or
CARNATIONS as the Auto Club of
Southern California and the Detroit
Auto Club, which have been insur-
ing their members at lower rates.
point to the feasibility Of this idea.

Starting with a prologue, wist.
fully sweet, "Smilin' Through"
picks up a simple story filled with
intensely human characters. The
action starts in the garden Of a
crusty old man who has as his

an he loved. Therefore, when he
finds that this girl has fallen in
love with the son of his old-time
rival he swears furiousIy that
they shall never marry. Then
comes the quaintness Of the
piece. Back through the film

and bitterness grows into tender
ness that carries a lesson he
has never been able to learn in
all the intervening years.
