Insurance-What About Your Motor-Car?
The Worlds Work.

A young business man in the Middle
West took his new car out for a spin one
night last summer When he started
he was fairly prosperous young man,
with business Of his own. His credit
was limited but good. Working hard
for five yeas, he had built up a substan-
tial little commission business, with a
credit of about $10,000-e enough to carry
it on. His tangible assets, outside Of
the automobile, were not large. He lived
in rented house, paid his debts regular
ly, and had recently INDUCED in the
purchase of the car, largely because t
would help him in his business.
The car was new; and the horn had
either not been put on removed for re-
pairs. The result was that when the
young man came home, an hour or SO af-
ter he started, his credit had vanished,
his business was facing ruin, and he
had piled up heap Of liabilities that
will take years to wipe away. In addl-
tiOn to all this, he had lost the one tang
ible asset that he had-the automobile
1t happened very simply, as it always
does. Running slowly down long and
crooked hill, handling the car with the
skill of an apt beginner, he turned a
a corner to find closed carriage just
ahead, ON the outside Of the road. Lack
ing horn, he opened up the muffier cut
out, turned sharply to the left side of the
road, and undertook to pass the carriage.
The driver being unable to see, but hear
ing the car behind him, swung to the left
to let it pass.
The car swung wider, hit a tree,
bounded back into the road, up side the
carriage, and caught the team against
rocky wall on the right, killing both
horses. RebOunding, it backed over the
bank at the left and fell twenty feet. It's
diver landed easily, and unhurt. The
car was ruined. -Four people in the car
riage were hnrt, and one was killed. The
team was dead.
In single instant Of careless or I'M
lucky driving, debts of unknown amount
had been created. Every one Of the in
jured, the heirs Of the dead man, and
the owner of the carriage and team i'm
become creditors for an un-
stated amount. The owner of the car
became debtor. All that was needed to
established the fact was seccessions of
suits at law, suits that admitted no de-
fence. The liabilities were on the very
face Of them. Even while he helped to
ease the sufferings of the hurt, and to
look after the body of the dead, the
young man realized his own position.
The first reporter who reached him
after he got home asked question that
nearly drove him to desperation.
How much insurance did you haye?"
He walked over to table and picked
up policy. 1t was filled out, but, but
had not been put into effect. At lunch
