ABOUT AUTO RISKS
FOUR METHODS TO COVER CAR
BY INSURANCE.
Expert Explains "some of the Wrin-
kles" in the Various Kinds of Pro-
tection--Thinus Brokers Do
Not Explain.

"rhere are four ways to cover an
automobile by Insurance." says Eugene
Z. Pelham, an automobile expert, in
explaining some of the wrinkles of the
various kinds of protection offered by
policies.
1.-THE first is against fire and theft
and transportation. This policy means
that the insurance covers the car any
where 1t might be in the United States
or Canada in public or private gar
age, and the broad coyerage of trans
portation due to the fact that the roads
are interspersed with so many ferries
to complete ones tour, the occasion has
been brought to this Offices attention
where automobiles have been rushed
off the boats to save lives and the great
number Of other cars and property on
the boats.
II doubt thai. there is one broker In
a thousand who would explain what
this clause Of transportation means in
an automobile insurance policy. They
write the policies in the easiest way
and you, the assured, do the suffering.
'"The legal liability coverage policy
which indemnifies you against loss due
to injury to any one person to the ex-
tent Of $1,000, or two or more persons
to the extent of $4,000. How many
brokers are there now who will tell
you that this is all the insurance that
is necessary. They do so because they
do not study the records of the ire
mendous lawsuits and verdicts that are
rendered against the assured. Does
his broker tell him that for small adj
ditional charge he can get limits for
one person of $4,000, or two or more
persons for $4,000.
'The property damage clause, to In
demnify the assured against loss from
liability imposed by law upon the as
sured for damages on account of dam
age to or destruction of property of
any description.
"What the insurance companies call
the collision clause, meaning damage
to the insured's own car. How many
of the assured have had small col
lision and have written letter to their
broker and been told that the policy
does not cover this small loss.
"They do not tell the assured that
for small additional premium these
losses could be covered because they
are anxious for the business and they
are afraid of losing the line through
ignorance or for asking for a little
higher premium which is essential to
cover full damages

RIM EXTENSIONS ARE HELP
They Prevent Heavy Motortrucks
From Becoming Mired in Soft
Dirt Roads.

To prevent heavy motortrucks from
becoming mired in soft-dirt roads, or
stuck In sand, an Indiana inventor has
designedpan ingenious type Of extern
sion rim for application to the rear
wheels. The device, for which patent
rights have been granted, consists of
two steel rims arranged to be bolted
to the opposite sides of wheel. The
outer of these is six inches in width
The Knoxville independent. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1917-01-06

and the inner one four inches. Neither
touches the ground until the truck
sinks the depth of its tires. Then the
extensions come into play, giving each
rear wheel ten inches of additional
bearing surface and increasing the
traction. Thus, en- hard roads the
steel members form no interference,
but are ever ready for an emergency
when soft highways are traversed.
They can be applied to the wheels Of
any truck.-Popular Mechanics Maga-
