one has run out Of gas
Where will the car be used?" is
the first question the car owner
should ask himself. This will guide
him in deciding what kinds of insur.
ance he will need and what amounts.
For instance, if the machine IS
operated only in the country or town
the owner does not need to carry
collision insurance. At least he
should buy only one of the deductable
forms should he not feel comfortable
without some form of protection
against monetary loss from this
In the city full coverage" is
preferable to the deductable variety
because the owner usually has a
number of bent tenders, broken tire
carriers or denied radiators during
the year. In the country such
minor collisions are rare. If a
motorist does happen to collide
with another machine or with a
road obstruction the results are
usually serious.
If the car is used mo1tly in the
country it is evident that property
damage cNeerage is not an essential.
In city driving 1t is all important,
because in traffic the car owner is
usually in danger of damaging Eigh
priced machines. II he is respon-
sible for the accident it is bad
enough to pay for the repairs to
his own car without carrying the
additional burden of pay ing the
other mans repair bill.
However, since instances where
motor cars operate exclusively in
the rural district are rather rare
it is well for the country motorist
to carry at least the conventional
$1,000 property damage policy so
that he will be on the safe side
when he visits the city But for
the man who drives about town
every day the 81 900 property dam
;,ge policy is not enough. He should

tain more coyerage in that line,
for he never knows when he may
collide with and cause serious lam

Fires. Thefts, Drivers!

essential in the country than in the
city, because the country gentle

thing else.
Another question which the car
owner should ask himself before
talking figures with his broker is;
Who will use my CARP" This is
very essential because it has
direct bearing on the question of
how much liability insurance he
ought to carry. If son, daugh-
ter, a wife or an employee uses the
car 1t makes a great deal of differ
ence whether he or she is careful

A lot of car owners are forever

a way that no one derives any

seems that good aim in knock

EA.ST'S CULTURE
SEEN IN SILK
WEAVING
Art Reached Highest Point Of
Perfection by 900 A. D.,
Says the Connoisseur.

Silk is the recognized aristocrat
Of all woven fabrics and by the end
of the twelfth century, the
technique of silk weaving was
practised throughout Asia. and was
to the people Of the East, one OF
the chief modes of expression.
The styles Of ornamentation In
eastern textiles previous to the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries
and the productions Of the different
countries, are very difficult to
distinguish one from another
especially since authentic examples
Of any but Coptic and Byzantine
webs are so exceedingly rare.
Broadly speaking, however.
Chinese designs are characterized by
a natural treatment Of flowers and
other objects, and easily recognized
and oft.repeated symbolic forms.
The Chinese work Is, as a rule,
extremely fine and delicate, as well
as being gay and brilliant, but not
gaudy, in color.
Ancient Corean and Japanese de-
signs are rather more conventional
in treatment than the Chinese. but
with a fine, not a childish or
ignorant, cOnventionalism.
In the woven art OF India the
greatest use was made Of the
human. figure. Of beasts and birds
Of various kinds, and more or less
vigorous and naturalistic pictures
of the chase These Indian hunt
ing scene fabrics appear to have
been very popular in ancient
Greece, for Homer in describing the
ornament on a kings robe says: I'm
the rich wool q hound mosaic
drawn, bore on full stretch and
seized a dappled fawn: deep in his
neck his fangs indent their hold;
they pant and struggle in the NOV
ing gold"
Coptic and Byzantine design in
textiles partook of the nature Of
most Of the above, and mixed with
them classic ornament and the
symbols and scenes of Christianity,
as well as the striking incidents Of
Biblical history, in a simple and
childlike manner.
Although so few specimens Of
ancient Oriental silk weaving re-
main, there are sufficient to prove
that, by the end of the tenth
century A. D. from Constantinople
to Southern India, the manipulation
of silk in textile are, and the
mechanism of the loom, had
reached a point Of perfection, which
has seldom. II ever, been surpassed,
either for quality or craftsmanship.
