Against Assistant Superintendent

SUBMITTED NOT SUI
FTCIENT.I

The Union Life Insurance Com.
pany Of Virginia scored heavily Tues
day, September II, 1928 in its bout
through it's Assistant Superintendent
George E. Stone with the Mutual
Insurance Company Of Richmond,
Virginia. That corporation had MT.
Stone summoned to appear before
the Virginia State Corporation Com
mission through the Bureau OF In
surance and Banking to show cause
why his certificate Of registration
should not be revoked on account OF
derogatory statements alleged to
have been made by him concerning
the Mutual Insurance Company.
At the hearing, after the allega'
tions and charges had been made by
the Mutual Life Insurance Company,
counsel for the accused Assistant
Superintendent moved that the case
be dismissed. Without hearing from
the defense, the State Corporation
Commission entered the order &C.
cordingly. The Union Life Insur
ance Company has been conducting
it's business upon high plane and
it and its representatives have con-
fined themselves to facts and not to
any scurrilous misrepresentation,
know the advantages that the cor
poration is offering and the special
allowances being provided for Its
patrons in it's present operating
policies.

daily press explains itself:

intendenr for Richmond Of the

to reply
The following statement was dc

have long been mine. l got off the

refused a leadership for which no
man can say 1 ever applied, (aad
which no man can bestow upon an

 Talk of steel mergers was rife, but the absorption of Trumbull by Republic was the only important development.

EXCHANGE

Europe's economic progress was reflected in the return of sterling and several Continental curren- cies to parity and the beginning of arrangements for the stabiliza- tion of the French and Italian cur rencies, which probably will be effected in 1928. One difficult problem will be transfer of Ger man reparation payments, which reach their maximum under the Dawes plan next Fall This prob ably involves drastic changes in Germany's financial policies. as pointed out in the recent warning of Agent General of Preparations Gilbert, who urged restriction of foreign loans 10 productive pnr- poses and curtailment of unp.o- ductive domestic expenditures.
 As 1927 closed. large exports of gold went to Europe. India and South America. They represent ed only a small part of the sup ply in this country. which. rough ly was estimated during the sum mer as about one-half the world 5 total stock, but nevertheless aroused considerable discussion as to their effect upon interest rates.

ment. Chemical shares also rs. sponded to better trade cond;. tions. Strength of the mail order stocks was associated with the n. creased purchasing power of the agricultural regions. The steady growth of chain stores was mir rored in the rise of their securi. ties.
 Speculation in airplane stocks was augmented by worldwide in. terest in trans-oceanic and other long-distance flights. Wright Aero nautical, manufacturers of the tsWhirlwind motor" used by LinJ- bergh and others, appreciated about 400 per cent in value. Ex- tension of commercial air routes. approved by President Coolidge. and the interest in air develop ment shown by Henry Ford also were important factors in the rise.

Juneau telephone subscribers are again warned by the tele- phone company and Juneau Fire Department officials regarding the use of phones following an alarm of fire. Subscribers are re- quested not to ask central for the location of the fire until fully Is minutes after the alarm has been turned in. Subscribers are also warned. especially those on party lines, that immediately fol- lowing a fire alarm, central gives six rings. This warning is sent over the line to firemen having resident phones and notifies them that a fire has been reported.
 Last Sunday, 1t is said a 1O- minute delay resulted in the turn, ing on of the salt water stream from the Al mine because fire men were unable to get central over party lines owing to sub scribets using the line in seeking information regarding the loca- ton of the fire.

 Druggists on the near north side, a section much favored by artists, models and others of Bo- hemian ilk, say that men who buy rouge and face powder are much more finicky about 1t than wo- men. Many of them quibble over the proper shade of lipstick and the tint of powder they desire.
 It is not a case of effeminacy, some of the druggists say, but just the changing times, like the manner in which women now buy cigarettes, where a few years ago they wouldn't think of asking for tkem openly.

FIRST LOUISIANA ALIENATION SUIT sf
 LOST BY HUSBAND OF DIXIE BEAUTY

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 3-The hus6and of Virginia Hobbs Mou- lin, Aouisiana beauty. is the loser in Ruisiana's first and only suit for lienation of affections. ANgustin R. Moulin brought civif suit against Frank J. Moh- |telebne, wealthy New Orleans SO ciety man, charging the latter with winning away the affections of his wife and asking sS0,000 in damages. Mrs. Moulin is a for mer beauty prize winner of Mem phis
 Tbe lower court held that he had no cause of action, and in q decision upon appeal. Chief Jus tice Charles A. O'Neill of the state supreme court confirms the opinion and voices opposition to reducing a woman's affections to column of figures"
 Marriage is considered only as civil contract in Louisiana, and the law does not authorize infllc- tion of punitive damages in civil cases. In the 200 years since Bienville founded the city of New Orleans and the province of Louisiana, the Moulin suit is the first of it's sort in state courts.
 "A law that would allow the husband compensation in money for such wrong would be revolt ing to the majority of men, Jus tice O'Neill says, "and might ten1 more to encourage blackmail than to protect the home."
 At common law, he points out, the right of action for damages in alienation of wife's affections is based partly on the obsolete idea that the wife is one of the hus- bands chattels. But in Louisiana the wife now has every pferoga- tive possessed by her husband "It would be absurd. therefore, to give the husband the right of action for damages for alienation of the wife's affections on the theory of common law that she is his inferior,' Justice O'Neill de. clares. He advocates a penal sta. tute as the best means of check. ing alienation.
