After the near accident Tuesday aft
ernoon in which the Highland Park
car ran off the track on the bridge
crossing the Shun ganunga- and ran al
most the entire length of the bridge
before it could be stopped, it would not
be surprising if the life insurance
agents and the accident insurance
agents would find Highland PARK
profitable place to write business IN
It has long been joke on the Lne
that when a particularly reckless mo-
torrnan drives the car down the ball
park hill swaying from side to side as
tho it was playing tag with the roIley
wire posts and goes around the curves
like he was. going to fire, the pas
sengers will hold on with both hands
to the seats and above the din OF the
rattle and thump of everything loose
and movable on the car, viii shout TO
each other, "HOw about taking out
some more life insurance."
Tuesday afternoon after the car mad
stopped on the bridge, the passengers
were compelled to climb out the front
window and down on the bridge IN
this manner. One woman on the car
who thought she had reached the time
in life when climbing out a window
was impossible did not give thought
to rheumatism or age but clambered
out with the rest of the passengers
and when it was all over happened to
think that she hadn't done anything
like that in years.
