WHY You Should Insure Your Auto
BY Stanton Wyatt

had by paying an extra premium.
| How II Started
The development of automobile in.
! surance began with the issuance oil
fire and theft policies shortly after
the automobile first made its appear.
ance. Liability insurance was the
| next step in the development of com.
plete insurance for automobile own.
| ers. Previous to the introduction OF
the automobile, about the only vehi.
cles on which liability insurance had
been written were those used for
teaming purposes.
As the automobile became immed-
lately popular for pleasure use, the
casualty companies were confronted
with an entirely new insurable prop
osition. The newspaper accounts of
accidents any Monday morning after
the automobile has been busy over the
weekend will impress upon the mind
how tremendously the element OF
danger to persons and property has
been increased by the advent of the
motor car. ......* ..4.- =: =. .=
The cost of liability insurance var.
les according to the horsepower OF
the insured automobile, and the To-
cality in which. the car is operated or
maintained. Where the congestion OF
population and traffic is greater, the
rate of premium is higher, as the haz-
ard is greater. An automobile owner
who resides in New York City, for
example, pays much higher rate for
liability insurance than the automo.
bile owner who lives in Honolulu. The
rate of premium also increases with
the increase in horsepower, the under
writer's naturally enough assuming
that high power car is capable Of
inflicting greater amount of damage
than car with less power.
We quote below an interesting
article recently published in promin-
ent mainland insurance journal.
There was a large increase in
Greater New York in the number or
accidents and deaths by motor-vehi-
Giles in the month of June over those
in the month of May .....=
THE grand total shows an increase
Of 80 per cent more accidents in June
than in May, and per cent more
deaths during the same period.
There were 1913 accidents in June
against 1912 in May, and the deaths
in June are given as A against Al in
May. RI ..~.
twenty-five persons were killed
and 776 struck by passenger automo-
biles in June against II killed and Cos
injured in May.
notwithstanding speed ordinances
and safeguards provided, there is a
constant. and steady increase in the
total of human life and injuries taken
by automobiles, and this applies not
only to Greater New York, but to the
whole country"
This emphasizes the necessity for

Yet statistics show that the auto
mobile is more apt to burn up than

The Chances
The average motorisr, unless he has
been in a serious accident, does not
realize how much damage can be done
to other peoples property, or how easy
it is to seriously injures or perhaps
take the life of some innocent person.
The destructive possibilities of an
automobile to life, limb, and property,
even with the utmost care of opera,

financial loss which might be sustain.

or its destruction by fire. No. matter

sengers.
Two Claims
Two distinct kind of claims will
arise out of such an accident--claims
for personal injuries, and for damage
done to the limousine. Liability in
surance will take care of the first
claim, and property damage insurance
the second claim.
An accident involving personal in
juries or death of one or more per
sons may necessitate the payment OF
a large sum in settlement of damage
claims and court espenses.
Ordinary Policy
The ordinary liability policy pro-
vides for the payment of maximum
claim of $4,000 for a single accident
where one person is injured, or $1,000
for an accident in which more than
one person is injured The cost of
defending the action is also provided
for, in addition to the payment of
indemnities. Larger limits may be

GIVE AID TO
LIBERTYLOAN

| On checking up results of the big
drive in New Jersey for the second
Liberty Loan it has been reported by
the officials of the Michelin Tire Co
at Midtown that 81 per cent of their
employees subscribed, the individual
subscriptions ranging from a single
$50 bond up to several very large sub
scriptions, according to o. n. Shepherd
OF the tire and accessory department
of vonn Hamm-Young Co. ~-..H
Needless to say these remarkable re-
suits were attained only after all the
details for forceful campaign had
been Systematically arranged. A con,
ference was called by Mr.. J. Hauvette'
Michelin, head of the American Niche.
| lin organization, which was attended
by all the department heads. At this
conference all the details of the cam.
paign were planned, which included
large bulletin boards placed at the fac
| tory entrances and Roll of Honor
boards placed in the various depart
ments.
The large bulletin boards at the fac.
tory entrances gave the percentage OF
subscriptions received from each de
partment, the figures being based on
the number of employees in each de-
partment. The Roll of Honor" bulle-
tins, placed in each division of the
plant, gave the names of all subscrib-
ers in each division. Prior to the
placing of these bulletins a strong ap-
peal written by Mr.. Michelin was
given to each employe. Altogether
the campaign was a. big success, as is
clearly indicated by the high percent
age of subscriptions received.
In line with the general policy of the
Michelin Company to take good care
Of its employees, and in recognition of
the increased cost Of living, the presi
dent of the company recently declared
an unsolicited advance in wages
throughout the plant. This was the
fourth such unsolicited increase made
within the last eight months. The
clerical staff throughout the general
offices of the company were also re-
membered by substantial increases in
salaries.
Since the introduction of the Niche

The Michelin Company is looking
ahead to even greater things in the
future than in the past. For example,
the advertising appropriation for 1918
will be double that of any appropri.

extensive list of large national publ.
cations will be included, and in addi
