DO THE MEANS JUSTIFY THE ENDS? . .. . Some people resort to any means to
accomplish their ends—book ends, that is. If the pages of these books appear dog-
eared, it will be for good reason. Acting as book ends is a pair of Chihuahua puppies
owned by Mrs. Louise Williams, Los Angeles. The litter was so tiny it had to be fed
by eye dropper.

^[URE, we know—a car is a "necessity”
O these days. A modern family "couldn’t
get along without one.” Or so you tell
yourself.
Come, come, sir! We know, and so do you,
the real reason you got the new-car fever
—and the kind of car you are hankering
for.
You want a car with some fun in it,
don’t you?
A car you’ll get a big bang out of every
time you see it parked in front of your
house—every time you slip into its front
seat—every sweet and easy mile you travel
in it.
Well, come see what this beauty does for
you. <

into purring life at your toe-
And then note—
How smoothly you slip away from the
curb — especially when Dynaflow* is han-
dling the power transmission.
How firm and steady the whole car feels:
How it holds on curves, free of "heel-
over” and sway. How each coil-sprung
wheel quicksteps over bumps and rough
spots that mean jounce and jiggle on most
5ars—how buoyantly road-free a Buick is.
Fun? You bet it’s fun—too much fun to
miss.
And there’s no reason to miss it, really,
for this strapping traveler is priced under
many sixes. Starts at figures just an easy
step above the so-called Lowest Price
cars.
YDynaflow Drive is standard on Ro a dm aster, optional at extra
cost on Super and Special models.

$11,664.000 in Death Benefits
From Life Insurance Is Paid
Texas Families in 3 Months
Texas families received $11,664,-
000 in life insurance death benefit
payments under 8,676 policies dur-
ing the first three months of this
year, compared with $11,654,000
under 8,404 policies in the cor-
responding period of last year, the
Institute of Life Insurance re-
ports. This year’s payments com-
pare with $6,657,000 under 5,580
policies in the first quarter of
1941.
“These payments reflect the in-
creasing ownership of life insur-
ance,” the Institute said in an-
nouncing the figures. “Although
the death rate among policyholders
today is not appreciably different
from that in 1941, the greater
amount of life insurance at risk has
resulted in 75 per cent greater
death benefit payments in this
state.”
Of the aggregate first quarter
payments in this state this year,.
$8,061,000 was under 2,907 ordinary
policies; $2,416,000 was under 1,-
059 group life insurance certifi-
cates and $1,187,000 was under 4,-
710 industrial insurance policies.
For the nation as a whole, $408,-
842,000 wa*s paid as death claims;
under 363,047 policies in the first
quarter, compared with $384,347,-
000 was under 33,184 group poli-
cies; and $56,722,000 was under’
225,390 industrial policies.
Nationally, the quarter’s death;
benefit payments were 6 per cent
larger than a year agoi Other pay-
ments to policyholders showed an
appreciable increase. For the na-
tion as a whole, the payments to
living policyholders were $565,683,--
000 in the first quarter compared!
with $508,001,000 in the corres-
ponding period in 1949, an increase'
of 11 per cent.
OLD-FASHIONED IDEA
Sooner Children Catch So-Called
Childhood Diseases, the Better
i WttBtt ftITTIt AUTOMOttlCS ARC MtliT BVICf Will MHO THRM
How many people do you know
that still cling to the old-fashion-
ed idea that the sooner children
catch the so-called diseases of
childhood, the better off they’ll be ?
Take whooping cough, for ex-
ample. Isn’t it ridiculous for chil-
dren to have to suffer with it when
it may be prevented by simple vac-
cination ?
Whooping cough goes by the
scientific name of pertussis. Re-
gardless of what you call it, it
still means violent, painful wrack-
ing coughing that takes the breath
and tears at the chest and throat
walls.
Pertussis is prevalent among
children everywhere. About 15 out
of every 100 cases are in children
under two. North America, from
time to time, seems to have more
than its fair share of cases.
Sometimes it’s fatal, especially
to very small children. About 85
out of every 100 whooping cough
deaths are among two-year-olds
and less. And, strangely enough,
most deaths are among girls. In
1949 Texas had 46 whooping cough
deaths. So far in 1950, and aver-
age of 323 cases have been re-
ported every week.
Whooping cough is spread
through droplet infection—that is,
by breathing air contaminated by
a sneeze or cough of an infected
person. You can get it from using
the personal things of an infect-
ed person, too. It is communicable
from about 7 days after exposure
until three weeks after the cough-
ing starts.
The important thing about
whooping cough is that vaccination
may protect against it. It’s the
only thing that will. If an unvac-
cinated child gets the disease, he
will thereafter have whot is called j
a “definite and prolonged immun-J
ity.” But the fact of the matter
is that second attacks have been
known to occur.
Vaccination of all preschool chil-
dren is the answer to control.
“Booster” shots may be advisable
within a year after the initial vac-*-
cination. Your family doctor will
make that decision.
