DC. INSURANCE
SALES CLIMB
17PERCENT

New life insurance taken out
in Washington in June amounted
to $6,503,o 900, according to the
report of the Life Insurance Sales
Research Bureau, of Hartford,
Conn.,, made available yesterday.
For the first six months Of the
current year new life insurance
written here amounted to $40, 088,-
900. Both of these figures are
well ahead of the corresponding
1896 periods.
The contiguous States of Mary.
land and Virginia also gained in
the amount of life insurance sold
last month and for the first half
of the current year.
Gain in the District Of Column
bia over June last year Is II per
cent. This corresponds with q
gain Of only per cent for the
United States as a whole. For
the half-year period the gain here
was Is per cent, while for the
country as a whole 1t was 10 per
cent.
Maryland and Virginia were
both ahead of the national aver
age for the month of June and
exactly even with it for the six
month period.

ROUNDUP
FOR EVADERS

More than 500 motorists in Mem
phis, Tenn, have been served by
the Tennessee department of
finance and taxation with bills for
taxes not paid on gasoline pur-
chased from tax evaderS.
: For some time, the department
found, a gasoline dealer had been
operating in Arkansas, just across
the State line, delivering gasoline
tax-free to Memphis motorists
in S and 10-gallon lots. The
Tennessee State tax is 7 cents per
gallon, highest in the country and
almost twice as high as the aver
age State tax throughout the
country. On q 10-gallon pur-
chose, a motorist would save 10
cents.
Following extensive gasoline tax
frauds in the State, Tennessee
amended its law to extend the tax
liability to include every person"
involved in the evasion Of gasoline
taxes. The department of finance
and taxation obtained a list of
customers served by the Arkansas
gasoline bootlegger and is now
pressing the motorists for the
evaoed taxes, said to aggregate
more than $1,000.

OIL INDUSTRY'S
WAGES0N TOP

Average hourly earnings in the
petroleum industry, additionally
high, now are the highest prevail
ing in any manufacturing indus
try, according to data Of the
United States Bureau Of Labor
Statistics.
At 95.1 cents, the average
hourly rate paid the refinery
worker exceeds by nearly so per
cent the average paid to EN-.
ployes in 81 other industries GOV.
cred by the bureaus survey.
Increases granted during the
last year have added nearly one
fifth to average hourly wages Of
refinery workers and have brought
hourly rates approximately to so
per cent above the boom year Of
1929. when the average rate was
81 cents. At the same time the
work-week has been shortened.
According to the bureaus figures,
the average refinery worked in
1929 put in 40 hours a week. Cur.
rently he is working only $3.50
hours and receives $3.50, an in
crease Of 8 per cent over 1929.

Cotton futures crashed below the

today. The market was in a de-
moralized condition with closing
quotations 8 to 18 points under

Commission houses led the liqui-

larged by foreign selling, There
was little support with trade de-

dropped stop loss orders gave a
bigger accent to the decline.
Today'S drop was a continue
ton of the crack-up that started
yesterday afternoon when Presi-
dent Roosevelt let it be known
that the Government is concerned
with the size of the crop. Admin
istration experts have informed
the White House that the harvest
may reach 14,500N00 bales,
higher than anything predicted
yet, and beyond the needs of the
country.
To remedy the threatened over
