He wanted Audrey. That's why he
swallowed and suppressed. Secretly
he was disguised with himself for
doing so.
After the wedding they went to
live in a cottage close by where
Audrey's mother lived. Audrey's
mother came over every day. She
made suggestions; she issued COM

Better Traffic
Conditions Goal
Of Texas Town
BY HARRIS

IL. (INS)-The driver approached
a stop sign in the outskirts of Ft.
Worth. He braked his machine a
bit, glanced around, then stepped
on the gas and sped through the
intersection.
mo cope around-No traffic
Why Stop? he muttered to HIM
self.
J He may be right about the traf-
fic and the police but he probably
was noticed and will hear about
the infraction for he failed to rec
kon with Ft. Worth's "T-Men."
When a driver gets a letter
promptly from a "T-man" it does
not necessarily mean he is in bad
with the watch dogs of Uncle
Sans Treasury department.
In most cases it means the mo-
torist has committed a traffic vio-
lation. Maybe the breach of the
law was involuntary and Mr.. Mo-
torist was unaware of it at the
time. Then again it might have
been 'sjust one of those things or
maybe a deliberate but minor traf-
fic violation.
Last year an estimated 1880
Fl. Worth motorists received let
tiers from the city's T-man Com
mittee, a voluntary secret organ
ization dedicated to lettering
traffic conditions.
The committee is part of the Ft.
Worth Safety council. 1t has 200
members whose duties are to spot
careless drivers. The T-men seek
no penalties, they only issue warn
ings.
But let a driver rack up a string
of IMAM citations for car viola
tons and the police will hear about
him, and plenty.
Letters sent out by the commit
tee are signed by Fl. Worth Po-
lice Chief R. R. Howerton. They
ask cooperation in holding the
city's traffic accidents to a mini
mum.
The T-Men work without pay.
They are selected for the work
through interviews with the head
0 fthe committee.
The only person connected with
the group who is paid is a woman
secretary. Last year, her salary
along with, expenditures to approx
imately $4,000 taken from city
funds.
When a T-Man is selected he is
assigned a number known only to
the head Of the committee. He is
unknown to other T-Men.
He is given post card forms
which have spaces for license num-
bers, location of violation, date,
time of day, 13 types of traffic
violations which can be checked,
and additional remarks.
When he spots a violator he
writes down the information con-

important, therefore, to try to interpret these

The personal phases of Life insurance
for it is a highly personal business-are
highlighted daily by dramatic instances.
Sometimes they are SO unusual as to give
special emphasis to the part our business
plays in the life of the United States and
Canada. The following quotation from a
letter from the son of a deceased policy
holder, requesting the return of a policy on
which claim had been paid, tells with simple
sincerity a moving story of a Life insurance
