Extra Equipment
Eliminated From
Auto Insurance
Fire and Theft Policies No
Longer Include Protection
for Tools, Etc, but Change
Believed Only Temporary
By l.. Harris Goldberg

Recently an Endorsement has been
added 20 all fire and theft policies
covering automobiles, which in sub
stance eliminates the theft of add
tional equipment, such as tools, repair
equipment, motometcrs, extra tires and
tubes, rims, wheels and other extra or
ornamental fittings. These items were
included up to October | and are now
eliminated under this Endorsement.
1T is reasonable to assume that the
elimination Of this hazard by the com
pany will be a tremendous saving
great trend of losses. 1t, however, has
been received by the assured disap-
pointedly, and it is feared that the
action taken by the company will ere
ate quite disturbance.
1t is hoped that this change of un-
derwriting will be only temporary, as
there are a number Of companies, such
as the Aetna and one or two others,
which are treating this issue tempo
| rarily. 1t is quite probable that other
companies will sooner or later fall in
line and do likewise.
There are certain legal phases that
enter into this new change which, of
course, if this limited protection is
continued, will ultimately be a settled
situation. Taking the illustration of a
car that is stolen and then recovered
minus it additional equipment, the
company would not be liable for such
equipment unless the car was stolen in
its entirety and not recovered.
This new change, together with the
non-vaiued form of insurance which is
now being sold under fire and theft
protection, is causing considerable mis-
understanding and disappointment, for
the average assured is not familiar with
these changes and it is a fact that the
assured is not conversant with the de-
tailed coverage that he enjoys. 1t is
only when loss has occurred that the
motorist will take his policy from his
files and try to understand just how
far his protection goes.
1t is therefore very essential before
paying the premium, to read your
policy very carefully, and those in
dorsements that are not quite clear
should be discussed with the broker
handling the business.

Seven New AutomOtive
Service Associations

Seven new automotive service as
sociations have been formed during the
last year with the aim of promoting the
welfare of the car owner by raising
the standards of repair work and by
discouraging service stations that en-
gage in unfair practices.
The growth of motor transport to
point where more than 100000
vehicles are on the road has called
for a corresponding increase in the
science OF the care of these vehicles,
says a report of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce. Certain
companies have developed an efficient
service policy, but local cooperation of
service men for the sake of maintains
ing standards is comparatively new.

high value products go hand in hand

Packard Single-Six Reduced

The recently announced reduction OF
S625 in the price of all models of the
Packard Single-six car brings the tour
ing car and runabout down to $2,350
the coupe to $3,125 and the sedan to
$3.50. This represents on the touring
car reduction of 35.4 per cent from
the originally announced price. The
Single-Six was brought out year ago
at $3.50. That was reduced Novem-
ber /, 1920, to s2,975, which was main
tanned until this latest decrease went
into effect. The new price is, there
fore, reduction of $1,000 in less than
a year. On July last the sedan was
reduced from $4,250 to $3,975, and the
recent cut brings the total reduction to
$500.

send cry echoing up and down Broadway
at such time would be as futile as to yode an
appeal for help at the foot of Ell Captain. The
skyscrapers, even as the cliffs, would send such
cry mockingly back to the crier.
Under the circumstances there was nothing
to debut to accept the dictum of the robbers.
Mail pouches were shifted from the honest but
clumsy machine for which Uncle Sam pays the
upkeep to the low, rakish machine of the Black
Barts, who knew how to find true loneliness
in it's haunts and to profit therefrom.
After it was all over, of course, the wonder
was expressed that the thing had been so long
postponed. Why, all things considered, had it
not happened every night of the week and
every night of the year? For if all the New
York police force were thrown into lower
Manhattan every night they could do little
more than emphasize its loneliness. Many
night watchmen are employed here, but they
are hopelessly lost in this huge envelope of
silence from o'clock on.
The books descriptive of New York City
have nothing to say of lower Manhattan IN It's
hours of desertion. Perhaps such description
would not appeal to the average visitor, but
those who have had occasion to visit the dis
trict during it's cataleptic state are apt to re-
member it even more wildly than during lss

filled again, but now all vitality is gone Main
Street could not be SO dead proportionately, be-
cause Main Street never knew such fulness of
life.
1t remained for highwaynlen who knew Of
the emptiness Of the lower Manhattan district,
but who probably would be lost in the more
continuous loneliness of the Yosemite, to turn
their knowledge to profits that would have as
founded Black Bart. Nearly $2,000,000 in cash
and securities were taken recently from one Of
the United States mail trucks that constantly
travel back and forth on lower Broadway.
The modern Black Barts-capitalizers of
civic lonely places-operated in automobile
of their own. This automobile they drew up
in front of the mail truck at the intersection
of Leonard Street and Broadway. 1t was COM
paratively early in the evening, but the Black
Barts knew just how empty the district would
be- Broadway had shifted it's human load to
the magic few miles near Forty-second Street,
where the lights clustered about doorways
that are not cloistered. At Leonard Street
there was void-the sort Of void that the real
Black Bart loved when he had set out to collect
his living for the ensuing year. There were
pistols pressing against the driver and threats
were being intoned in thss husiness-like voice
which all highwaymen are said to assume. To

hours Of energy. Here is typical Baedeker-
like description of the trail of the mail trucks
as it appears in daylight-the description be-
ing taken from handbook of New York City:
From the City Hall northward as far as
Grace Church at Tenth Street wholesale
business houses practically monopolize
Broadway. At Duane Street rises the great
twelve-story building of the Mutual Reserve
Fund Life Association splendid fireproof
stone structure. At Leonard Street the New
York Lifs insurance Building attracts at
tention, and near Lispenard Street is the
fine edifce of the Ninth National Bank.
Just beyond is Canal Street. in its name
reminder of the time when canal ran
across the island.
Yet even at the early evening hour which
the modern Black Barts chose for holding up
the United States mail and getting more out of
few leather pouches than the James boys
ever got out of any of the express safes they
blew open, all this handbook descriptive matter
sounds futile Splendid freproof structures"
and buildings which may not be splendid or
fireproof look strangely alike in the glow of
the arc lights Shadows press down every
where and every lamp seems to fight harder
than common for it's right to live. Many Of

would have abandoned the Yosemite to it's
leaping waterfalls, its pointing stage drivers
and other natural phenomena. He would have
scorned the savings of the clerks who had
succumbed to the lure Of Western railroad
folders, and here in New York he would have
staged one grand hold-up which would have
made annual repetitions Of the affair entirely
unnecessary.
But Black Bart pottered around in the Far
West until he put on one farewell appearance
too many and was captured and sent to the
penitentiary. Probably New York never ap-
pealed to him as place that could possibly be
lonely. He did not know that there are blocks
and blocks in lower Manhattan where after z
o'clock at night the silences become positively
painful, so intense are they. In Western
canyons usually there are brawling streams.
But in New York's canyons there is no brawl-
ing of any sort. II there were, no doubt po-
liceman would appear from shadowy nowhere
and attend to the matter. Here the loneliness
is intensified by the fact that only few hours
ago this canyon was filled with hurrying peo-
pie and echoed to the noise of motors and other
vehicles. 1t is as If giant hand has shut off
