Make Sure Insurance
Policy Covers All Driving
Otherwise, if Accident Results,
There May Be Found To
Be No COyerape


Occasionally Mr.. Automobile Owner
may forget just what coverage he has
under his automobile insurance policy
He may permit others in his family and
his friends to drive his car, although
the policy strictly prohibits anybody
else from driving. Such a warrant is
contained in the contract. 1t is stipu-
lated that on account of the reduced rate
at which the policy is written the owner
declares that nobody but himself
will drive the automobile during the
policy year. The consequences for such
misrepresentation Of facts may result in
the company refusing, in the event of an
injury to person or persons, to pro,
tect the interest of the assured, as
specified in the policy. If d collision
results the company may disclaim liza
hility for the repair, of the damaged car.
These facts should be considered very
carefully at the time the car is being
driven. for a great deal of trouble will
be had if the policy does not get the
same consideration as that of any other
binding agreement or contract It is
legally as effective upon the assured as
1T IS upon the company, and if the agree
ments contained therein are not carried
out by the automobile owner the CON-
pany will in all probability reserve its
rights under the policy
IT 1T is felt by the assured that he
prefers to be properly protected and
desires to take advantage of having his
car driven not alone by himself but by
others, and the car is intended to use
Tor business purposes, such declaration
should be included in the policy contract.
50 that, in the event of a claim. no possi-
bic question of liability may arise. The
additional premium for this increased
protection is not very great, and to one
who prefers not to have any lawsuits
it is most advisable to carry the right
Niho OF protection. l.. II. G.

the invention of n steam automobile
so arranged that the operator need
only to turn an electric switch and
in few minutes sufficient steam is
generated to run the car. After that
the steam is kept up automatically
throughout the day. 1t is stated the
radiator need be filled only once

generate approximately 70 horsepower
The car will be equipped with a

Roadside History Kept

The outcome of the Presidential
election has been recorded on those
roadside historical bulletin boards
OF tire company with which every
motorist is familiar.
At Marion, Ohio, the board carries
this information: Marion is the
Ohio home of Warren Gamaliel Har-
ding, who was elected twenty-ninth
President of the United States on
his fifty-fifth birthday (iIovember
2, 1920, by the largest popular
plurality ever recorded"
And at Northampton, Mass, the
board reads as follows: "Northamp-
ton is the Massachusetts home Of
Calvin Ida, Coolidge. who on November
q, 1920, was elected ice-President
OF the United States by the largest
Office"

Points Down to Miami

The Bureau of Tours Of the Auto

Up all roads between New York and
Florida and gives the following as au-
thentic to date:
New York to Philadelphia
Although there is still no route
which can be considered good through
out, much Improvement has been made
since earlier in the season. At pres
ent, under all conditions, the best
route to follow is the Lincoln Highway
to New Brunswick; then over the
tranbury Turnpike to Trenton where
the Lincoln Highway is again followed
3y way of Langhorne and Bustleton
into Philadelphia.
"A choice Of two routes is available
between Philadelphia and Baltimore,
one over the Old Chester and Darby
Pike through Wilmington, the other
leaving philadelphia by Sixty-third
ming over the Baltimore Pike through
Media. Kenneth Square, Rising Sun and
Conowingo to Belair and Baltimore
On the former route new brick paving
replaces the stretch of roadway which
has been so poor between Chester and
Wilmington. The section crossing the
northern part of the state of Delaware
has also been sufficiently improved to
rnke this road available in all kinds
of weather.
The second itinerary is hard sur
faced road in excellent condition prac-
tically throughout, the construction
work at Rising Sun having been fin
ished and the detour eliminated. The

tlty mas driven up the price of the
very cuts which are most popular.
FAILURE to take advantage of the less
costly cuts seems due to two factors
lack OF knowledge concerning the
preparation of the inexpensive pieces.
ana lack of information and indiffer-
ence on the part of the housekeeper as
to the high nutritive value and paIat-
ability of such portions.
AS a consequence good meat at low
prices IS dragging in the market, while
meat from the same animal which is
no more nourishing but is four times as
costly is in great demand. For ex-
ample, recent wholesale quotations
from the Western market show that
the best grade short loins (whence
come fine steaks) have been selling
wholesale as high as 90 cents a pound.
while the best grade chucks from the
Identical steer have been selling at Is
cents. The chuck portion was raised
on the same feed as the loin portion
1t would yield nutritious steaks, TASTY
roasts, pot roasts, stews and corned
beef.

clearly show that the metropolitan ho-
tells have learned the advantage Of
using inexpensive cuts. The great ma
lority of the meat dishes in the table
d 'hote luncheons of many well-known
hotels and restaurants are made from
inexpensive cuts. Husbands order and
enjoy portions of meat which their
wives rarely or never buy for the home
table.
The housewife holds in her own hand
the remedy for very high meat prices.
BY turning away from the expensive
TO the inexpensive cuts she not only
will lower her own meat bills, but will
drive down the price of the choice
cuts; furthermore, she will make it
possible for meat to be merchandized
more economically. With the present
unequal demand for the various cuts
at retail, some meat is diverted to
other than its natural uses and other
meat is wasted. This loss is ultimately
