I've been in the accident insurance
business Just four days." said the dys-
peptic-looking man. I've written six
policies. and already two OF the people
have put in claims. It's . funny thing
what effect m accident policy seems
to have on some people. They will
live for thirty-dve or forty years and
never get q scratch. Just let them get
one Of my double-action policies and
they go at once and get hurt. A man
seems to think an accident policy is
a thing to keep him from getting hurt
and that no matter what he does or
where he goes he II safe. One man
asked me the other day II there would
be any danger to him in taking out
the policy. was afraid Of the risk
and told him he was certain to be
killed.

look At the thing. but they DO, and

coast defense has grown up. namely
the science OF the torpedo and the
mine. The present coast defcnsees
have no torpedoes. as all efforts 20
ns,all such stations have been
stronuously and effectively opposed
by the navy, But very complete
system OF submarine mines has been
worked out and II has been found
that Il will require a larger stan 20

artillery branch can spare.
Moreover. the equipment Ia many
cases Is very elaborate. and requires
