MONEY MARKET IS |{"our scrooLs ]] HUCH EASIER NOW Big Influx of Foreign Gold Has Its Effect Washington, Feb. 19 () — The| heavy influx of gold that has come | intp this country from abroad is| seen by federal reserve board of- ficlals as a factor working toward conditions in the money easier market, ‘The imports, which already have excoeded $75,000,000, will help those banks that are in debt with the federal reserve institutions to reduce or wipe out their indebtedness and will place additional reserves funds at the dispossl of other member banks. In elther case, it will have the effect of encouraging the bank to expand their loans and t- ments. At this time of the year, the gold inflow has coincided with the sea- sonal return flow of currency from holiday efrculation, and the two movements together have about an exceptionally large tion of reserve bank credit.

Are you sure, that by thrusting a lump sum of money into _your wife’s hands when you are gone, you will actually be providing the permanent income that you want her to have? It is just as essential to provide for the future protection of insurance money as it is to pay for premiums. If you want to relieve your wife of the burden of handling this money herself, at the same time placing it beyond the grasp of schemers, you need an Insurance Trust. This arrangement insures the safe investment of your insurance money, and provides your loved ones with a certain income, free from worry—all at a cost to them so small as to be practically negligible.
