INSURANCE MEN
TO RAISE RATES
ON AUTOMOBILE
Insurance of Cheaper Cars to
Be Raised in Omaha March
First Because of Nu-
merOuS TheftS.

Due to the great number of auto
mobile thefts in Omaha during the
'ast several months, insurance com
panies operating in this section OF
the country will increase their rates
from so to 100 per cent on cars
valued under 81 800, declared Fl. Fl.
Lowell, local insurance agent, this
morning.
This action is based on tabulated
losses by insurance companies" said
Mr.. Lowell, "and not upon the total
number of cars stolen. The increase
was decided upon by all of the COM
panies which insure cars in this Sec
ton Of the country, and will be put
into effect March !.
Cincinnati, Toledo, indianapolis.
Louisville, Denver, Milwaukee, Des
Moines, Topeka, Lincoln and Csun-
eli Bluffs all are to receive better
rates than Omaha under the recent
ruling. it was said.
Even Sioux City, the alleged
headquarters of numerous "ferces"
for the thieves, where wholesale
thefts have attracted the attention
OF the entire section of the country,
and where sensational disclosures
involving policemen have been
made, is given better rates than
Omaha. decl2yed Mr.. Lowell.
Insurance men regard this city as
one OF the worst in the country with
reference to the operations of auto
mobile thieves, it is said, Omaha,
Kansas City. Cleveland Joplin,
Tulsa, St, Louis and St. Joseph are
put in the same class, declared Mr.

morning, she had done nothing but

at times she rebelled furiously
against the tyranny of his uncom-

to her:

So EIoise picked up the phone to

The income of every family and ev-

ses for necessities shall be standar-

sary to maintain the living standard
adopted by the family group or indi-

determined for each family, it allows
any increase of income to be imme-
