been paid to living policy-holders as dividends, matured endoWments, annuities, disability benefits and cash surrender values" he said.
 The amount paid in cash sur render values will be larger than usual this year. Occasions will arise, particularly as in the current year, when all other resources have fail ed, the policy holder turns to the surrender value of his insurance.
 But even here we must recog- nize-conscious as we are of the loss of the protection involved that life insurance is serving press ing needs. The balance of $875,- o00,000 will be paid to the benefit ciaries of deceased policy holders. S
 LIoomis emphasized that the rapid growth of policy disbursements to the $2,200000,0O0 paid out this year was double the amount in 1923.
 Alluding to his forecast that new life insurance this year would touch $18,5oO 100000, he pointed out that this sum would exceed by $1 ,1O0,000,000 the average yearly purchases for the preceding five record breaking years and was less than 4 per cent under the previous high water mark of 1929.

TULSA, Okla, Dec 16.-Josh Cosden has again lost fabulous fortune, but he is still rich. For his beautiful wife, who has wealth cred the storm of poverty before, is sticking to him in the latest ,crisis in the career of the meteoric oil man Josh Cosden has streaked across the sky of riches and society that his wife still believes in his ability to pull himself out of the slough of failure again to climb the Clympian heights of success. And while society is admiring the lovely Mabel Cosden for her wifely devotion, it is wondering if she will really continue to stick to Jim should he not be fortunate enough to stage another sensational come back.A
 The romance of the Cosdens is as interesting as any story penned by asnovelist. The business career of Josh Cosden is as absorbing as the romance of his life and mar riage.5 The two are intertwined
 Cosden was a farmboy in War ten, Maryland. He became trol- ley car conductor, a bill collector and then drug clerk. He mar ried sOttilie LoWensprung and with her migrated to Oklahoma, his mind fired with stories of the newly de- tveloped oil wells. Friends in Ball. timore believed in the sandy haired boy and his dreams, and they stalk cd him with capital to develop his own wells and refinery Soon Josh was rich and with wealth came do- mestic disagreements. There was a divorce and his wife was awarded custody of their three children That summer, Charles Roser, an employee of Cosdens, divorced his wife. A few months later Josh Cosdsn and Mabel Roser were mar ried e And Tulsa watched the TO- mance.
 Mabel Cosden proved herself an ambitious woman. Well educated, proficient in modern languages, a goodf conversationalist and we'll vers& in the social graces, the at- mosphere of the crude mining town began to close in on her.
 Sos the Cosdens descended on /, Manhattan to storm the ranks of the g400." They arrived in a pri-

vate car. They engaged enormous hotel suites. Famous jewels were purchased at fabulous prices. A home was bought in exclusive Sands Point, the Long Island community of millionaires Newport was storm ed, an ocean-front property was negotiated for and the Cosdens crashed the frigid Newport colony. Palm Beach knew the Cosdeps and sampled their staggering hospitality in their S2,00OO00 Spanish home. Suddenly the Cosden fortune seem- ed to shrink. But respite an inn pending financial crash Mabel Cos den managed to ensnare the Prince of Wales as her house guest in July, 1924, in her Sands Point home. From then on the Cosden fortune went through rapid shrinkage process.
 It was in 1929 that Josh Cosden staged his comeback. His Palm Beach, Newport and Long Island homes had gone under the ham mer but Cosden announced that they would build bigger and bet ter homes with the enormous for tune they again possessed. For it was reputed that Josh Cosden had not only retrieved his losses but was worth a cool $15,000,000 to boot. And now Cosden has again lost his fortune. And the dreams of further social conquests and glory are scattered before the hand of misfortune.
 The other day Cosden's latest enterprise, the fCosden Oil Com pany, was thrown into the hands of receiver at Wilmington, Della ware. Cosden rushed up from a Florida sanatorium and announced that he was solvent But he could not prevent the receivership action. And the oil king is back where he started
 There are many who believe that Josh Cosden will stage come back, that his financial genius, backed by his wife's belief in him, will put him in the ring once more. Should this materialize, the Cos den's place in society will be moN secure than ever, because of the gameness of the man and the de- yotion of his beautiful wife.

will be clear if the reader recalls
that in 1926 an agreement was
made between Abyssinia, Great Bril-
tain and Italy by which Great Bri-
tain was empowered to build dam
at Lake Tsana, the source of the
Blue Nile, for the irrigation of the
Soudan. Whoever controls this dam
controls the Soudan. Ever since
then American imperialists have
been trying to wrest the control OF
the dam from the hands of the Bri-
fish. The present civil war in Abys-

struggle.
