IMPORTANCE OF STEERING
MAINTENANCE

The steering gear is only a part
of the steering mechanism Of
motor ear and, though it may ap'
pear TO be at rest when the ear
is moving in straight line, il is
constantly in motion, because Of its
sensitiveness to even the smaller
depressions and Irregularities of the
road. When car is travelling along
what appears TO be perfectly
smooth course, the steering gear
and all of the steering linkage which
control the front wheels of the ear
is in motion and, this being the
ease, it can be readily understood
that this unit Is one OF the most
vital control elenaents of the car.

STATE INSURANCE
FUND NOW SEVENTH

The report of the State Compen-
sation Insurance Fund for the fis-
cal year recently closed shows its
business to have advanced by leaps
and bounds, the increase over that
Imperial Valley press., 1923-10-06

of the preceding year having been
in excess of "a per cent. A compar'
ison with the net workmen's com
pensation premiums written by over
100 insurance concerns doing busi'
ness throughout the entire United
States shows the state fund to oc'
cupy seventh place, although ita
operations are confined to Cantor
MIA alone. If this rate of increase
continues it is the prediction of eX'
perts that within a short time the
premium income of the State Com
pensation Insurance Fund will be
exceeded by that of only two com.
panies which do a nationwide bus
mess.
