Read Your Insurante Policies

Insurance men often comment on the ig-
norance OF wel-informed business men con-
cerning the provisions OF their policies OF
fire insurance. The standard form OF policy
has been used in this state for years past,
yet its simplest provisions are often misun-
derstood Morris Putnam Stevens, who is
interpreting the provisions OF the standard
form in a series of lectures on insurance law
at the New York university law school,
said: People are very careless about their
insurance contracts. They lock up their
policies in safe deposit vaults and never
look at them until the fire oc
ours, when they discover that
they have been going along for years
without proper protection. For instance,
they forget many times that they cannot
procure additional insurance without the
consent OF the company issuing the original
policy. Manufacturers, too, often operate
their plants later than 10 o'clock at night,
without knowing that by so doing their
policy becomes void, and is not revived by
a return to former customs OF course,
companies would not be likely to refuse pay
ment of just claim on such grounds, but
the defense would be sufficient if they
chose to make it.
Then, too, mechanics are often employed
without the consent of the insurance com
pany) for more than fifteen days in repair
ing a building. Such action voids policy,
MS does also the giving of chattel mort
gage. Lawyers should remember that if
foreclosure proceedings are begun, policy
OF insurance covering the property affected
becomes void. The insurance company
should always be notified when a change of
ownership or of part ownership takes place,
but notice is not necessary of the giving of
mortgage upon real estate, it having been
held that the giving of mortgage does not
create any change of interest, title or pos
session. Sometimes policies are assigned
absolutely or as collateral before a loss oc-
ours. If assigned absolutely without con-
sent of the company the policy is void. If
assigned as collateral it is not void. The
keeping of benzine fireworks, gasoline,
Greek fire. or more than twenty y-five pounds
Of gunpowder, under certain conditions,
also voids policy"

OFFICE OF THE HERALD,
Los Angeles, Nov. 5, 1893.

Los Angeles, NOV. y, 1910.
At a meeting of the directors of the Los
Angeles National bank held this afternoon,
a committee was appointed to draw reso-
lutions of respect concerning the loss TO the
community sustained in the demise OF
Mai. George ii. Bonebrake, its late pres-
dent.
Thereafter, upon the question OF filling
the vacancy thus created, w. G. Patterson
was unanimously elected president of the
bank. Mr.. Patterson recently accepted the
office of it's cashier, on what was practically
n few hours notice. to fill the place of f. G.
Howes, deceased, and at that time the pros
poets for vacancy in the presidency of the
institution were only too painfully appa-
rent, Maj. Bonebrake's physicians having
given up hope of prolonging his life for more
than a few days. That Mr.. Patterson
would succeed to the control of affairs was
therefore expected, and, possibly, was
agreed. At any rate his elevation to the
position will give great satisfaction to the
mercantile community and to the general
depositors, who can rest assured that their
interests are in safe hands.
To fill the vacancy thus caused in the
position of cashier, w. d. Woolwine was
then elected. There were a number of
applicants for the post, but Mr. Woolwine
was not among them, and in this case it was
an instance of the Office seeking the man.
MIR. Woolwine is well known i'll this COM
munity in his position as cashier OF the
Southern California Savings bank of this
city, and prior to that as cashier of the First
National bank of San Diego, where he made
n fine record He is an active, energetic,
intelligent man of affairs, and his selection
Us co-worker with Mr. Patterson shows that
the directors of the bank are fully alive
to the business situation.
Although the management of the institu-
tion has thus undergone what may be
termed radical change i'll a short period
o. time, there appears no reason to doubt
that its successful career will be maintained,
and perhaps some Improvements may be
observed by the introduction of the new
blood thus infused. The fact that deposits
have lately shown steady gain speaks vol
umes for the confidence OF The public in the
concern.

Working Abandoned Claims

One of the most prominent present char
acterstics of the mining world is the re-
opening and profitable working of mining
properties once abandoned, but now in
many cases dividend paying producers; this
being possible says the Mining and Scien-
tific Press, because of cheaper forms of
treatment, better transportation facilities,
decreased cost of supplies, and a general adj
vance in modes and methods of scientific
mining. In many isolated places, where
development has not as yet justified the
building of plant of it's own, many little
mine would find the custom mill an impor-
tant factor, necessary adjunct, but it is
not an uncommon case that the custom mill
remains nothing learned nothing forgot.
ten,' just as generation ago. 1t is not
an unusual experience for a miner to send
his little mill rum" hoping to get few
dollars from the cleanup. with the outcome
that his "dirt" has Just paid expenses; some
times the result putting him in debt. OF
course, no mill, custom or other kind, can
put values in ore, but it is often manifest that
use of the many proffered improvements
would be of profit to the owner of the custom
mill and of encouragement to the miner de-
pendent on it. As matters stand today,
with right management, the operation of a
custom mill offers as profitable field of
industry as mining itself As business
proposition, the up-to-date running of q
custom mill should he paying investment
Mention is made of the custom mill because
it is an important factor in general mine
development. and can be made of great
value by push and progressive management
in saving values and handling low-grade ores
at a mutual profit.

Cuban Sweets

The CubanS are exceedingly fond of
sweets. They are eaten at every meal, as
well as in the afternoon. The torrid heat
makes it necessary to rest and partake of
some refreshments at about o'clock, so
at this hour a cooling beverage called
refresco, accompanied by fruit and sweets,
is served. Candy as the Americans under
stand the term, is not made to any extent.
To be sure, there are a few confactioners'
shops in Havana, whore may be found
caramels and sugared almonds, but the
box of bonbons is scarcely known in Cuba.
The dulces correspond more properly to
our desserts, and are divided into two
classes-fry dulces, comprising candied
fruits, cakes and fruit pastes and those in
cheapest dulce in Cuba. The prepara tion
cious tropical fruits, are fine; then there
are the conserves, or fruit pastes, the most
familiar to us being that which is made
from guava. This is popular, and is the
cheapest dulce in Cuba. The preparat tion3
of these sugar plums Is complicated af-
fair, so much so that every well appointed
household has among its servants a dull
cero, whose sole office is to make these
dainties for the family. Many of them are
too sweet for the American palate, but
there are others which will find favor with
our countrymen and hold prominent place
on our tables.-New York Tribune.

Bank Assessments

The state board of equalization of Mime
sofa has refused to change its rule OF assess
ing banks ON their capital surplus and undi-
vided profits; although a committee OF prom
inent bankers demonstrated how lnexpe-
dent the rule was in all cases and how un
just it might be in many. The
bankers tried to show that undivided prof
it's may be but a convenient euphemism for
doubtful paper waiting to be redeemed;
That to tax the banks on statement of
profits that are only in posse is scarcely fair
AT any rate the banks may be expected to
see to it that hereafter the undivided profit
account will be such in fact as well as IN
name, so as to avoid paying taxes on what
might after all turn out to be loss.
