Lack. of Oil On

There are three types of bear

plain bearing is difficult to adjust.

Ball and roller bearings are used
at different points about the car

justed by the owner. But here we
must distinguish two general types
OF bearings. Some of them may be

Owners Of motor cars whose In

only that the prevailing rates are
consif srably higher than year
ago but that many privileges for
merly allowed in automobile fnsur-

longer incluced in the regular theft

say $4,000. and IL the car were lost
or stolen during the year the full
insurance value would be paid.
All of the insurance companies
are now writing only what is

praised value of the car at the
time of Toss.
Great insistence Is being placed
by the Insurance companies upon

company may appraise the value at
$1,000. regarding IL as a second

Advanced Is to 20 Per Cent.
As a general average for all
GLIDING theft and fire, collision and
liability. has advanced from IS to
40 per cent over that of a year ago.
Within the city limits the rate Is
highest. A lower rate is given for
suburban localities, and still
lower rate for country areas.
The greatest advance on any par
ticular make of car is seen in the
Fords. the rate being about 100 per
cent higher than last year. Nearly
all of the higher priced and mod
crate priced cars obtain a consider
able reduction from the regular
rates by attaching some of the de-
vices approved by the insurance
companies. By using one Of the
several theft locks approved by the
companies a reduction of Is per
cent is obtained. The use of a
bumper in front also gives a lower
rate. amounting in many cases to
$40 or $40. while the bumper may
be purchased for less than half that
sum. A bumper on the rear of the
car gives a still further reduction.
