Insurance Reserves to
Help Ward Of a Panic

If the money stringency continues
and interest rates keep on going
up, the tremendous fund of life in
surance reserves will come in with
its stabilizing influence and help to
ward off the panic that usually fol-
lows. Life insurance is not usually
thought of in this connection, but
when one thinks of the millions of
dollars that are available as loans
at low. rate of interest, 1t must be
accepted as big factor in warding
off money panic. The individual
who has large reserves in his life
insurance knows that he may draw
on 1t as a loan and not be refused
nor charged an usurious rate Of in

HUMAN HEART
APPEALSELLS
Insurance. Salesman Who
Is Sincere Uses This
Good Point.

I'VE have often heard II said that
there is a trick to selling life in
surance," says Frank T. McNally.
of the Massachusetts Mutual Life
Insurance Company. There Is.
Many men who have been success
full in politics have learned the same
trick. 1t consists in being able TO
appeal to the human heart. James
G. Blaine was probably the most
successful politician in our history.
although he is not now ranked as
a great statesman. He possessed In
an unusual degree the faculty of
making people love him. He had
some bitter enemies. but his loyal
friends and adherents were legion.
1t was a rare gift, and it almost
gave him the Presidency.
Il never knew a really great life
insurance salesman but who was a
man whom people loved. There are
men who make a mediocre success
in selling insurance becshse of busi-
ness connections; but the man who
is a great producer year after year
has another quality in addition. to
those of industry. character and
good habits.
You cannot define 1t as exactly
personal popularity; II is something
deeper,-a fine insight into the
foibles Of human nature, an ability
to touch the hearts of his fellow
men. faculty OF touching the ten
derest heart chords without being
mawkishly sentimental. 1t, too. Is
rare gift. and all great statesmen
possess 1t.
IF man is a real life insurance
salesman, IL he is big enough SO
that commissions are something he
receives for service rendered rather
than that for which he works. il he
is sincere. he can make successfully
this all-important heart appeal"
The Washington herald., 1920-12-01
mind than he was six months ago.

mind than he was six months ago.
For some time he has thought that
neither a life insurance man, nor,
in fact, anyone else, could tell him
how to build an estate. When he
sees how easy it is for the tide to
turn, he is prone to sit up and
listen to the, arguments of an agent
representing an institution which
stands for conservatism and safety.
He thinks that perhaps he had bet
ter have more of his money in that
kind of an estate because that is
certain after all. whereas the one
he has been btilding is full of un-
certainties. He also realizes that
the equities of yesterday cease to
pc equities today"

vanced or retarded is something which most motorists do not understand. To know that economy. safety in starting and numerous other things depend upon it's proper use should stimulate the car driver to familiarize himself with at least slight working knowl- edge of the electrical system.
 'In ordinary driving the position of the spark lever need not be changed except for unusual road conditions after it is once set to run through a considerable range of speed. This con dition is best found by the driver ad- justing and experimenting with the particular range adapted to his type of car
 "In going up heavy grade nine out of ten drivers rush their car because they do not want to shift the gears. True, 1t is nice to skim over the top of steep hill, but just how long will your engine stand for this abuse be- fore it begins to voice it's disgust in knocks and rattles? Just how much rubber has been cheNed from the tires as they obtained traction for that rush? And how much gasoline was consumed in the getaway?
 The knock from an engine labor ing up hill is due to the fact that the spark occurs on the compression " o'NC anu NhS SAPAOSioi huCCtiHS tllS piston tries to force 1t back. thus pro- ducing sharp, metallic thump. This knock would not occur on a level road unless the car was loaded, for the crankshaft is turning so rapidly that the piston has time to pass dead-cen- ter and start on the down stroke by the time the pressure of the explosion is effective. At all times the spark should be kept as far advanced as pos sible without causing the engine to Knock for q low-set spark tends to overheat and carbonize the engine.

 Something tells me that car was stolen." Richardson said to his com panion. T may be crazy, but we'll just follow it" They trailed the car few blocks and it stopped in front of a restau- rant. While the driver was inside, Rich ardson inspected it. The number plate on the floor board had been removed and his first suspicion was verified. The car number on the frame had been filed off and another stamped in it's place. The engine number, had been likewise tempered with.
 Richardson stood guard while his com panion called a policeman. The three then accompanied the driver to police headquarters. There the original rec ords were compared with other secret numbers on various parts which the care full thief had overlooked, and the identi- fication was complete. It developed that the lenders had been deliberately marred, as Richardson first suspected.

HOLDS ELECTRICAL
 PARTS NOT PUZZLE
"Car Owners Should Under. stand Them Thorough
 ly Says This Expert

The average motorist is apt to re- gard the cars electrical system as a subject for individuals of high men, talitv and assumes that without a pro- longed technical education he has no chance to comprehend it's mysteries, according to an eastern electrical ex- pert.
 When car owners understand the principles of the electrical apparatus,' says this expert land the proper care of its important units and parts. they will find that it is not hard nor dif- ficult. What is more, they usually de- velop pride in being able to keep their car in first-class condition and in rendering first aid without having to depend upon mechanics.
 One of the most abused and misun- nerstood parts on an automobile is the spark control lever. The amateur driver retards. the spark when start ing his car, and moves it upward when the engine starts runing. Why? Sim ply because he has been told to do so. That 1t should be adjusted according to speed and road conditions, or even move at all, once the engine is started, 1s beyond his comprehension.

FEDERAL TRUCK |S
 BUT 10 YEARS OLD
Yet This Young Company Is Listed Among Pioneers
 of the Industry

Last St. Valentines day, February l4, the Federal Motor Truck Company cele- brated it's tenth anniversary-onlya de- cade-yet placing this company in this comparatively new industry among the pioneers in the exclusive manufacture Of motor trucks.
 This is particularly worthy of note when it is considered that during the last six years more than eco motor vehicle companies have discontinued operations. Of the 109 truck builders listed in 1911, the Federal is one of the thirteen conn panies still manufacturing. This gradual shrinkage in the number of motor truck
 manufacturing companies has taken place despite the constantly increasing demand for more trucks. As in most new industries there has been a natural process of elimination through the early years The passage of this period finds the Federal stronger and bigger than ever.
 Since the Federal Motor Truck Com pany began the manufacture of trucks in the days when trucks were considered a novelty rather than a necessity, this company has produced $50,000,00O worth
 of trucks It is one of the new com panies which has come down through the first decade of the industry without re- organization and without financing. It has played a tremendous part in the
 popularization of the truck as an es- sential branch of transportation-so es- sential that at the preesnt time it IS not expected that the output of trucks this year will meet the demand, owing to the many new uses to which the motor truck has been put in recent years. "Our mammoth sales represent nothing
 more than the reward to the fidelity Of the directors and officials of the com pany in following the highest and best principles in motor truck production declared NJ L. Pulcher, vice president and general manager of the company "The business and engineering principles were right. else such confidence would not have been placed in the trucks,
 which are merely the physical embod.- ment of such principles.
 "The essence of success today, ip thls as in any business, is contained in the belief that giving the greatest value in years of service, always in the long run, wins with the public"

Along Motor Row

D. B. Ballard, who handled the Paige car in Columbus Ga, for years, has joined the forces of the Detroit Motor Car Co.,, and still is pushing the Paige, albeit with renewed vigor. MT. Ballard has been in Birmingham only two weeks and has become infused with the pep" and spirit that is manifest throughout auto row. He likes thencity and believes that there is great future in the automobile busi- ness here.
 w. F. Douglas. manager of the local branch of the Miller Time Company, left last night for Akron, O.. where he will visit the factory. He is making the trip to close contracts and speed up deliveries, for he is looking for big business here. MT. Douglas is well known to the auto- mobile public in Birmingham as he was with the Diamond Rubber Company for some time.
 | G. c. Red) P1owell of the Georgia Csls- ualty Co.,, is busy fellow writing auto mobile insurance these days. He can be seen daily rushing up and down the row, and there seems to be always a definite place that he is headed for, which mcSI-s there is an object in his speeding up." Red" is popular along the row and is getting a lot of business.
 
 The Bunch Morrow Auto Company have moved from their old location on Firth | avenue to their handsome new quarters at Twenty-first street and Avenue b. south. The new building is not entirely completed, the offices and salesrooms still being in the hands of the carpenters and painters. The garage is ready for occu- pancy, however, and their headquarters will be there for a week or two until the entire plant is completed.
 
 E. L. Scouten will be a busy man this week hitting his many friends. A hand some new building on Avenue B, with the name "Scouten Motor Company" across the front is the reason. Scouten takes charge there this week and starts Su)n- ing the Mitchell car. He's quite a pusher, too.
 The Motor Sales Corporation salesrooms are undergoing siege of repairs and transformation. H. M. Bailey is having this place on Twentieth street fitted up in fine style, and when tine remodeling is done 1t will i'e nne of the handsome sales roms along the row. Seven coats of white enamel will be given all of the
