According to President Charles W.
Gold of the American Life Convention,
the recent stock market disturbance
proved a more critical test Of the insti-
tuition Of life insurance than did the
influenza epidemic of 1918 and 1919.
The latter was the sort of hazard
which life insurance companies have
anticipated and prepared for, but the
demand for loans on policies due to
the financial situation developed pro-
portions exceeding all anticipations,
always, however, within the reserves set
up for the purpose.
The fact that the life insurance COM
panies we're able to meet the situation
so effectively gave fresh evidence of the
stabilizing influence of this great force
in the Nation, Mr.. Gold asserts.

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 it is the dramatic
story Of two sisters who wanted to
marry the same man.
In all his versatile career, H. 3.
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 a 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
ture Is Olive Borden's brilliant and
vivid Characterization of the shallow
Eve Quinn. James Ford and Hallan
Cooley are seen to excellent advan-
tage in supporting parts, while
Kathleen Williams and Aileen Man
ming are charming in their respect

Is this to be another campaign which will resolve
itself into two band wagons and a dozen wheel bar
rows trundling along in the rear of the procession?

its industries, and development Of resources, and a
building program that will rebound to the greatness
OF the empire state along the line marked out by

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 to 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 AZ states Of the federal union and the District Of
Columbia collected s43l .636.450 in taxes on the sale
Of I3.4O0, l80,062 gallons of motor gasoline in 1929.
1t 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 l. 1923.
and in Illinois until Aug. ]. 1929. Highest tax per
gallon was sixe cents; lowest two cents. Texas motor
lists paid into the treasury in 1929 S223i7.494. Penn
sylvania led in tax payments, California had second
place. Ohio third, and Texas fourth. According 70
the bulletin, the gasoline tax paid by Texans was
On 761. 42l, 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
rthe ballot is the thing"

Suwanee finished his evening pro-
gram and rushed down to see the
baby. Dixie opened the door. FL
anda was in her room. She had
suddenly realized they were sup
posed 70 be enemies-and remem-
bered the things he had said to her
He put his arm around Dixie anc
gripped Bangs hand:
We'll. this is too bad. But babe:
will get sick. Poor little tikes."
Andree looked up at the sound
Of his voice. and held up her little
arms. He bent close to her and
pushed back the golden hair from
her hot forehead.
"Unca Suwanee came right down
to see his baby"
Dixie stood close by. tears In her
eyes. and observed him. You would
have thought Andree was Suwanee's
own child. She was amazed at the
affection Andree showed for him.
She did not know how he had rock
ed her TO sleep-and played with
her. against the rules. when she
should have been sleeping.
Andree put a little warm hand
10 his face lovingly:
"Unca Fawnee sing a wock-a-
bye"
He looked up at Dixie guilty and
grinned:
I'VE have a lullaby. You didn't
know about II. I've been singing her
to sleep"
Sing it to her now. Suwanee. II
will keep her quiet till the doctor
gets here again"
Suwanee sat on the floor beside
Andree's little low bed and sang II
softly:
"~Rock-a-bye baby. in the tree
top.
When the wind blows the cradle
will rock"
Elanda heard him from her room.
She walked to the window and
looked out at the soft summer twi-
light. There was an ache in her
heart so poignant that she stood
pressing her hand against II. Tears
came into her eyes. The lovely old
song and the deep. gentle voice
stirred her emotions until she want
ed to fling hersef across the bed
and weep.
Suwanee-he had hurt her SO.
But she had hurt him. He intended
to be good and kind. No man could
be so dear and gentle with a little
child II he were not sincere. He
had said goodbye and apologized
to her for trying to be her friend
He had said he would not be sur
prised II she were marrying Greg
for his money.
