Protect What
You Have

The human thief must neces-
sarily be content with only NOV
able things; but fire, the great
est thief of property known to
man, spares nothing. 1t often
takes every single thing OF
value, including the house.
Carefulness will do much to
minimize fires dangers, but the
one sure way to protect yourself
from fires financial penalty is
insurance. And you should see
to it that your fire insurance is
sufficient properly to cover any
possible loss. Let us check your
policies and advise you. No
obligation, of course.

THE tinsel-and-glitter side
l. Of H OF ly wood never
touched Will Rogers at all.
He had his sense of values
before he went there, and it
remained the same.
His position was so secure that
he did not have to stoop to nasty
little tricks Of scrambling upward,
and he was grounded deeply
enough in ranch and family life
not to care at all for whoopee.
That Is why his sudden death
Embossed an avalanche of genu-
inely sorrowful comment in Holly
wood. II loved Will Rogers" :.
"There is a big gap left in the
screen world." HE was the
most charitable man l ever knew"
"I feel like I had lost my best
friend" Everybody who
worked with him loved him." 4.
when my husband passed away,
W. III 1NO6CLS was AAhO u pkObhCh "
me-" HE was the most charit-
able, the most tolerant man I have
ever known. There was not an
atom Of envy in his system"
Amasscd Fortune In Millions
That is the way they felt, the
people with whom Will Rogers
lived and worked. Eddie Cantor,
an old friend for 20 years, con-
solidated many comments into:
"He was one man In the entertain
ment world who more than ball
anced by his exemplary life any of
the scandals involving people Of
the theater."
The American people have al
ways been willing to pay well
anyone who amuses them. They
paid VIII Rogers, their favorite
jester, very we'll indeed. His
estate is expected to come to we'll
over 100000.
Always a canny investor and
business man, Rogers had more
than $1,0OO,O00 in insurance, u,
large Beverly Hills home, his
favorite ranch near Santa Monica,
and other California and Okla
bona oil interests and real estate,
as we'll as sizazle chunks of gov
eminent bonds and cash. He was
one of the wealthiest stars in a
community where big money Is a
commonplace.
Stunned Social Spotlight
But win Rogers lived simply,
as befitted a simple man. He
didn't drink, smoke or chew, (ex-
cept gum, which helped him keep
from smoking). He didn't 60 to
night clubs or first-nights. He
didn't 60 in for the social swim,
and his attitude toward such
things is we'll exemplified in a
story often told in Hollywood:
A swanky Hollywood hostess
invited win to dinner, but did
not include Mrs. Rogers in the
invitation. Will went, and was
asked to entertain. He did So,
but later sent the hostess bill
for services rendered. When she
protested that he had been a
guest, Will answered, II am never
a guest when Mrs. Rogers Is not
invited"
This devotion to Mrs. Rogers
and this distinction between his
public and private life was char
acteristic Of Will Rogers, and was
one OF the things many Hollywood
folks found hard to understand.
