"GULLIvER" LANDS!
Swift Classic At Milo Feb.
A, Represents Two Years
Work By Many Artists

After two years of work by some
two hundred artists and the ex.
penditure of more money than it is
good to mention, ''Gulliver's Trav-
els" Max Fleischer's full-length
animated cartoon in TechnicoloI
reaches the. screen! Scheduled fol
February at the Milo Theatre
"Gulliver" is the first picture Of
this kind to be produced since Walt
Disney's "Snow White" of two sea-
sons ago and the first ever to issue
from Paramount's studios.
"Gulliver's Travels" comes from
Jonathan Swift's immortal classic
of the same name which, since its
first appearance two centuries ago,
has been read by countless millions
of children and adults alike and
been translated into virtually
every language on earth.
The picture opens with Gulliver's
shipwreck on the shores of Lilliput,
a fantastic wonderland somewhere
in the South Seas" where the tall
est inhabitants measures up to a
mans boot and the highest build
ing could be hidden behind barrel,
In spite of their size, the "Lilliput-
ians" tie up the immense visitor
while he is sleeping, and he awakes
to find himself their prisoner.
"Gulliver's" adventures crowd
thick and fast when, after super
human effort, the "Lilliputians"
drag him to their capital city on a
fat car. At first regarded as a
menace, CULVER turns into a ma
tional hero through his amazing
feats of strength and soon becomes
chief aide to "King Little, the
ruler of the bantam kingdom.
The musical score of "Gulliver's
Travels" is on the same lavish
scale as the rest of the production.
There are eight new songs in all,
most of them already hits on the
radio and in night spots. They are
Faithful, Forever, "Bluebirds
in the Moonlight, Faithful For
ever, "It's Hap-Hap- Happy
Day., "All's Well", 81 Hear A
Dream" and "We're All Together
Now.

Maryland Bonds
Net $1O1,748
Per $1OO Par
Syndicate's Bid Reduces
Interest To Near-RecOrd
1.3O Per Cent

Maryland's place on the pin
nacle of financial public opinion
was emphasized again this Tues
day, when syndicate headed by
the Bankers Trust Company OF
New York bid 1898, 947.6O, OF
$101.748 for each $1O0 par value,
on 100000 General Bond
Issue of 1885," certificates of
indebtedness of the State of Mary
land.
AS the bonds will bear 11s 90
interest per annum, the price
quoted by the Bankers Trust
group means that the net cost to
the State will be 1900 per
annum. This comes close to the
record-breaking price of 1.24%
per annum, at which a previous
issue of Maryland bonds sold last
August, the lowest interest rate
in the history of State bond sales.
The nearest comparable Federal
bonds were listed today to yield
1850, one-half point higher than
the Maryland bonds.
Following close upon the heels
of an announcement this week by
Moody's Financial Service, Inc,
that they were restoring Mary
lands bonds to Triple "A rating,
the highest possible, the low bids
received indicate clearly the ex-
IRENE high regard in which Mary
lands financial obligations are
held by investors throughout the
country.
Governor Herbert R. O'Conor
was greatly pleased with the re-
suits of the bidding, hailing them
as further approval of the finan-
cial policy of the present State
administration.
''No better indication could be
had," he declared, shat our finan-
cial position is of the strongest,
than the high bids just received.
The fact that one after another
of the financial institutions of the
country is willing to quote such
high figure is absolute proof
that Maryland's financial position
in unassailable.
at is my firm determination to
keep our financial affairs in this
position. With a balanced budget,
with policy against borrowing
for current expenses, and with an
established practice against gaso-
line tax diversions, we have sub
stituted performance for mere
promises.
"The fact that we have ad-
vanced to the highest position
should be gratifying to every
thinking Marylander, because it
gives ample assurance that our
State has taken the front rank,
financially, in the eyes of the
country at large"
Twelve banking groups sub
mitted bids, which were opened
at the Board of Public Works
meeting this afternoon.

Much is said nowadays about
| Term Insurance. There are those
who see great virtue in the term
policy, and great virtue it has for
some specific purposes. However,
in recent letter to the Baltimore
Association of Life Insurance I'm
derwriters, Mr.. John B. Centrum,
State Insurance Commissioner for
Maryland, warned against the in
discriminate use of the term con-
tract.
This policy, as the name implies,
is payable in event of the death of
the insured within the term desig-
mated; beyond that period there is
no value in the contract. 1t is
especially useful to cover an obi
cation which is to be discharged
within the time specified. A
notable example of its use is to
guarantee payment of the mort
gage on home, should the home
owner die before the mortgage is
paid off.
BY what formula, incidently,
may a purchaser determine the
value of a saving or investment
plan offered him? Well, does the
plan guarantee or provide these
features?
/. Safety of principal.
2. A fair rate of return on
money invested.
8. Known future values.
4. Life contingency allowance.
5. Maturity coincident with need.
6. Scientific liquidation.
z. Ease of transfer.
With the exception of the term
policy, life insurance contracts
based upon the American Life In
surance Reserve plan meet all the
above requirements for satisfac-
tory use. of money for future
benefit.
Space does not permit an ex-
haustive discussion of all these
factors, but a short study will be
helpful.
With life insurance companies,
safety of principal is found in GER
tain intangible characteristics of
the institution as well as in the
tangible assets. State assemblies
have enacted legislation controlling
the operations of insurance COM
panies within the states; State In
surance Departments supervise the
activities of insurance companies,
safeguarding the interests of the
citizens of the state; officers of in
surance companies are selected Tor
their integrity and proved ability;
the companies are obliged to en-
ploy the best investment counsel of
the country to maintain their port
folios, with the result that the best
of the investments are available to
these companies; and company's
privilege of operating successfully
in a community is predicated upon
the confidence and friendliness en-
rendered in the community through
the years. Universally, insurance
companies strive to maintain these
assets at the highest level.
The tangible assets of insurance
companies are shown in annual
statements, principally as returns
on investments and as income from
premiums. With "a, 000, 900 policy
holders making payments daily,
these savings constitute what is
probably the most stable revolving
fund to be found in the financial
structure of the country.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark-After
the first shock of surprise had
passed, reaction among various
groups in Germany toward the
treaty with Soviet Russia varied
widely. The old aristocracy was,
of course, bitterly opposed to the
treaty. But then, with the excep-
ton of few black sheep such as
Prince August Wilhelm, the old
regime has always been against the
Nazis, although they only mutter
impotently in their clubs and among
themselves on their large estate and
so no votes were changed by this.
But the former ruling caste of Ger
many-it was the court circle under
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS it as
just one more proof, if another were
needed, of the lack of principle of
these new people, further evidence
that there was no essential differ
ence between Red or Brown Bolshe-
viSm.
The army, however, welcomed the
pact.
From the purely strategical stand
point it removed the danger which
hung over Germany when Hitler
forced the country into the Austrian
and Czech coups-the chance that
she might be squeezed between
east and west. In addition to this
in the 1920s, when democratic Ger
many and Leninist Russia had been
pariah states in Europe, there had
been much cooperation between
their general staffs.

military experts mad been welcome
in Russia-there was a tradition of
friendships between the army staffs
cit might have caused the execu-
ton of Marshal Tukachevsky) which
made easy a military rapprochement
between Hitler's Germany and
Stalin's Russia. At any rate the
idea Of joining Russia to devour
troublesome buffer state did not
shock the military mind in Ger
many and they rejoiced that Eng
land did not have the alliance.
German industry falls into two
camps in its attitude toward the
Russian alliance. The big indus
trialists at the top-who financed
Hitler's rise because they feared
Bolshevism and wanted to smash
labor unions-are just as scared as
you might guess, and Thyssen speaks
eloquently for them. However this
is not all or even major part.
Industry in Germany has been
thoroughly Nazified and the average
clean-clipped young industrialist
will tell you-as several of them told
me-that German industry welcomes
the pact.
In the first place remember the
tradition of the 20s-Leninist Rus
sia and Democratic Germany-when
there was mutually profitable trade
between the two. The young Ger
man induStrialiStS are again lookinp
toward the Russian market and the
future to them is even more rosy
They point out in kindly patronizing
tones that the Russian has no me-
chanlcal or organizing ability-he
is charming creature who wishes
to sit by the stove and chatter-and
his chattering charm is about to be
complemented by the steady organ
izing ability of the good German
businessman, who with a friendly
smile is ready to take over his coun-
try and organize it for him and sell
him big orders of German products
which he is unable to produce for
himself
predict that these kindly
clipped-necked, self-satisfed young
German businessmen are going to
be disappointed.
I don't think Stain will sit
prattling charmingly by any stove
while Germany comes in and or
ganizes Russia. Germany must first
beat the Red army.

In parks and gardens in the North
ern States.
The tree grows to be from so to 100
feet high. Its branches in whorls
OF six to seven are at first very
spreading, but they have to drop off
to some extent if they happen to be
growing in a crowded forest, until
all that remains is a broad, um-
brella-shaped crown.
The leaves are all of one kind
spirally crowded on the branches
They are bright glossy green
marked with longitudinal lines
bearing stomata on both surfaces
These leaves are ovate-lanceolate
with sharp point at the apex and
they remain on the tree for 10 or
IS years.
The male flowers are in catkins
solitary, 3 to 5 inches long and a
yellow shade; there are six to nine
pollen sacs and these flowers, too
may remain on the tree for several
years The pollen escapes in June
or July, drifting with the wind tc

inches in length, ovoid, erect ano

The brown cones are 4 to 6 inches
long, falling to pieces when the
cones are mature, which is in two
years, the scales open and expose

the staminate flowers and three
months later the seeds are fun,

coat, long and wingless. There are
300 seeds in a cone.
Resin abounds in all parts of the
tree. 1t is white and has a fragrance
similar to frankincense. When ap-
piled like a paste 1t is said to be a
wonderful remedy for ulcers. In
dians use the fruit, cooked or raw,
and distill a potent drink from it
which they claim is powerful in its
action on your mind.
The bark is remarkable, too, in
slabs with five or six distinct sides
to each and when fitted together
with a neatness that is amazing.
