Beautiful New York Girl Bride
 Found Dead In Hungarian Hotel

Budapest, Hungary July s P)- Police today investigated the death oi a beautiful 23-year-old New York bride, Dorothy De Konkoly-Thege who died in a hospital here yester- day of poisoning.
 There was question whether the poison was self-administered, or an accident. No clue was apparent from her month long married life with her husband, member of the old Hungarian nobility and an en- gineer.
 The couple came here only June 18, after their marriage at Rye, New York, on May 31. Saturday night she was found unconscious in her room at her hotel and was taken to the hospital. She never recovered consciousness.
 Mrs. De Konkly-Thege was the daughter of Mrs George Arents. Jr, of 6 East 77th street, New 1orh, and Hilbrook, Rye. She was educat- ed Bryn Mawr and the Shlpley school and met MT. De konkoIN- Ihege, while ne was taking q, post graduate course at Columbia Uni versity.
 MT De Konkoly Thege is a gradu- ate of the Royal Technical Univer- sity of Budapest. His father is con- ductor ministerial in the Hungar- ian government, and is vice presi- dent of the royal Hungarian gov ernment statistical office.
 Mrs. De Konkoly-Thege married Aquila c. Giles of Stamford, Conn., in 1923 but divorced him in 1926.
 Authorities said they found no grounds to justify presumption Of suicide for Mrs. De Konkoly-Thege and that they believed she was acci- dentally poisoned.

QUEEN


Rarely has a modern theme been
so daringly and frankly treated as
in Wedding Rings. the new First
National picture now playing at the
Queen Theatre.
1t has been adapted for the screen
from Ernest Pascal's novel, The
Dark Swan. and ID is the dramatic
story Of two sisters who wanted 70
marry the same man.
In all his versatile career, II. B.
Warner, who plays Dixie. has never
done a more finished piece OF work.
He is both suave and sincere, a
very ingratiating combination for
the portrayal Of q middle-aged club
man.
Lois Wilson. whose performance
as Cornelia Quinn is consistently
excellent. has a sympathetic part
which she enacts with intelligence
and spirit. The selection OF Warner
and Miss Wilson as a cO-featuring
team was indeed a happy choice,
and in wedding Rings their work
blends perfectly.
One of the highlights Of the pic
lture is Olive Borden's brilliant and
vivid characterization Of the shallow
Eve Quinn. James Ford and Hallam
Cooley are seen to excellent advan-
tage in supporting parts, while
Kathleen Williams and Aileen Man
ming are charming in their respect

Where the Gas Money Goes

Those who use the roads must pay for the roads.
Figures are interesting. Texas is a great oil produc-
ing state. Pipelines are carrying the natural gas OF
Texas 10 the cities OF the Great Lakes, cities OF the
middlewest, cities Of the Rocky Mountain states and
Mexico.
According to the secretary Of the bureau OF public
roads Of the United States department OF agriculture,
the As states Of the federal union and the District Of
Columbia collected s431 $685. 50 in taxes on the sale
OF Is. 400, 1906 gallons Of motor gasoline in 1929.
It was In 1919 that the legislature Of Oregon enacted
the first gasoline gallonage tax for road purposes.
Colorado and North Dakota and New Mexico adopted
the Oregon plan the same year.
Now all the others have followed but the tax did
not become effective in New York until May !, 1929
and i'm Illinois until Aug. !. 1929. Highest tax per
gallon was sixe cents; lowest two cents. Texas motor
lists paid into the treasury in 1929 s22,317.4s4. Penn
sylvania led in tax payments. California had second
place. Ohio third, and Texas fourth. According TO
the bulletin. the gasoline tax paid by Texans was
on 76I. 421 500 gallons OF gasoline or motor fuel.
Road building is in its infancy. An issue in the
campaign: Honesty in government; honesty In ex-
penditure OF highway funds; honesty and efficiency
on the part Of the servants Of the people.
Eternal vigilance is the price Of liberty, and eternal
vigilance and intellectual honesty on the part Of the
waters Is necessary at all times on election day when
Sthe ballot is the thing"

her, against the rules. when she

grinned:
