MOTOR INSURANCE
BECOMES POPULAR
WITH CAR OWNERS
Three-Thousand-D ollar Auto
mobile Can Be Insured
For About 5000.

The automobile owner who these days
has not insured his car Ii decidedly far
behind the times. The strongest compa-
nies In the world are writing insurance
for motor cars. and the same arguments
that hold good for life insurance or In
surance OF property apply to protection
for automobiles.
Machines may be insured against hre
and theft. collision, property damage,
and liability, and It is the wise and eau
tious motorist who places himself under
the wing OF some company. The rates
OF the well-knowr companies do not
differ materially while the benefits to be
derived are many.
The most important policy that
motorist can carry seems TO be the one
for personal liability, whereby he Is
insured against the liability imposed bE
law, for damages on account OF podiiy
injury or death, accidentally caused by
reason OF maintenance and the use OF
his car. The average juryman Is, as a
rule. not the owner Of a motor car and
in all cases In which automobile owners
are being sued for damages they are
likely to be far from gentle with the
motorist. ., M,
Full insurance on Il car costing W.
will amount to little more than SZVo
This protects the motorist from hre
theft, collision, and liabilities. only the

Motor Car Owners Are
Loyal to Manufacturers

Motorists generally have noted with
the growing disposition OF
to maintain and
strengthen relations with the owners of
their cars. An instance In point is the
recent "Studcbaker day" at the Geor-
Cta State fair where a party OF nearly
!, 900 owners OF Studebaker cars and
their families gathered as guests of
the Studebaker Corporation at Dig
old d-fashioned Southern barbecue.
Studebaker owners journeycd from all
parts Of Georgia in an array which
took more than an hour TO pass the city
hall in Macon. All carried Studobaker
decorations. a feature was Studc-

daily on Macon streets for ten years.
and was the first motor car ever owned
there. Ernest r. Benson. sales manager
OF the Studebaker Corporation. was
present and met personally hundreds OF

IMPORTANT FACTS
FOR MOTOR OWNERS
FULLY EXPLAINED
Watch Tires, Oil, and Gaso-
lene, Is Advice of
Expert.

One who knows says II Is really sur
prising to notice the difference in the
running costs OF two cars OF the same
manufacture and the same power, with
two different owners. Where does 1t
come in, supposing that all things are
pretty equal as regards the roads. load

Tires are the first and most impor-
tant matter. The economical owner will
probably specify larger tires-at any
rate, on the back wheels-when he buys
the vehicle. Motorists should always
look to the tires when ordering and, II
there Is any doubt, pay q little more

Tire Care Important.

the care OF tires" says Arthur C. Cum

initiate his up now and again when he

will make point OF testing his tires

cordinB to the makers instructions
The careless man will think nothing Of
the oil and grease which get bespat-
tered on his tires, and yet he will one
day be surprised to fnd them burst.
The economical man will stop the oil
and grease from getting on his tires,
and so will save both the oil and the
tires.

Pat Gamble will not run again for Michi-

looking over the Wolverine track cap
tain's knee said that nothing short of a
miracle could get Gamble in shape to
compete in the intercollegiates this May.
Two years ago Gamble was kept from
doing anywhere near his best because of
an injured kneecap. but last year by
continual care ne managed to keep free
from further injury. 1t looked as though
he would he all right this spring too.
but the JIG went up last Saturday at
Pittsburgh. No definite cause can be
assigned to why the weak knee should
have given way so soon in the season,
especially since Gamble has been prac-
ticinG for nearly three months. but it is
suspected that the unaccustomed shock
from running board track might
have had something to do with it.
