Under the provisions OF the law in

Most personal accident policies con-
tain provision to the effect that the
Insurance company shall not be liable
IL the insured Is killed or injured in
an accident which Is due ito volun-
tary exposure to danger" In a recent
decision of the Supreme Court of
Iowa, In which such a policy was the
subject OF the suit the evidence
showed that the insured had been
killed In an automobile acciden 4.
while driving his own car. There was
evidence to the effect that the de-
ceased had been driving negligently
and recklessly. On this state OF facts
the insurance company contended that
the case came within the above quoted
limitation on it's liability. The court
decided, however. that in the absence
of a specific finding that the death OF
the insured was directly due to his
reckless driving, the point was not
well taken and that the insurance
company was liable under It's policy.
In a recent Alabama case, II ap-
pears that a manufacturer shipped
three automobiles to a dealer, bill OF
lading attached. Through an error
OF the bookkeeper. the draft attach
ed to the bill OF lading covered the
price of only two OF the cars. The
dealer, though seeing the mistake.
obtained possession OF the three cars
by paying the amount of the bill OF
lading. and sold them. The manufac-
turer brought suit against the pur-
chaser OF the third car, on the ground
that through it's mistake. and the
fraud of the dealer. the latter OBJ
tanned no title to the car. and that.
therefore, he could not give a good
title to a purchaser. While holding
that the dealer was liable for the
price of the third car, the court held
