mo Insurance" THE Carroll Record of
recent date under this caption says: "Once
in while, in the report of fire the statement
is made that there was mo insurance" For
tunately such cases are comparatively rare, as
most people with good judgment regard hire in
surance as necessity and as part OF the eX-
pense of conducting business that cannot be
done without. Indeed it is absolutely true
that those who do not carry reasonable insur-
ance are not good business men, but careless
and foolish and very properly meet with little
or no sympathy in case of loss.
Gas rule the man who cannot afford TO
carry insurance cannot afford to own property,
and one who is too saving to spend the money
for it is not to be trusted in his every day deal
ings with men. The only exception to this
manner of viewing the question is when insur-
apce rates are very high and the owner can
stand loss without seriously affecting him
financially-when he considers the saving OF
premiums as sums set aside with which to
make good his fire losses
Every person who owns property-whether
small or large in amount-should have 1t IN
sured against fire loss. Even the new beginner,
with but a few hundred dollars worth per-
sonal property, should protectit, without wait
ing, and without taking chances. The less
able one is to stand even small loss the less
can he afford to save the money insurance
costs. 1t may appear heartless and uncharita'
BILE to refuse to help those who burn out, with
out Insurance. but when one does not try to
help himself he is scarcely entitled to help
from others, and doing so simply puts preml-
um on shiftlessness. Do not put yourself IN
the mo insurance class, under any considera
ton"

crowding Of the Towson cars by persons riding
to and from points within the city limits on
afternoon, when two gangs of workmen, mum
boring 80 or more, boarded car from Towson

tanned As passengers, nearly all women, and
in leaving the car the women were obliged to
squeeze past the workmen, who were crowded
closely in the aisle. At the point where the
men boarded the car at that time of day three
or four city cars pass TO one Towson car. Had
they waited minute or two, they could have
boarded comparatively empty car"
