LIABILITY PROTECTION
GAINS IN POPULARITY
Without Compulsory Law, Pre-
miums Paid Increase SILL
100000 in Year.

In the light Of the unceasing aci-
tation in some quarters for compu!-
Sorv automobile insurance. some in
teresting figures are offered by in
surers which reveal that even with
out such law automobile owners
are paying more for public liability
coverage than for all other forms
combined
This form of insurance. which is
advocated for all motorists by many
who claim it would be a solution for
one of the gravest of traffic prob
lens. has been steadily gaining popu
larity with car owners during the
last three years. In 1925 premiums
tailed $4,000. 900. gain of more
than $11 900 900 over the previous
year.
In 1928 car owners paid $l0S.297 1872
in public liza ability insurance premiums.
Next in popularity to this form OF
coverage come two of the cheapest
items in the automobile owners in
surance bill--fire and theft protection.
Premiums paid for fire insurance last
year We're $47.7S6,325, while those
for theft coverage aggregated but
slightly less. being SAL ,O77,505.
Property damage apparently is the
least popular form, according TO the
figures supplied by the National Au-
tomobile Underwriters Conference
and the National Bureau of Cas-
ualty and Surety Underwriters. But
$2,9SS.S60 was paid in premiums for
this type of insurance. the low cost
of which makes 1t rank seemingly
near the bottom of the list.
Collision CoVerage, upon which
rates are relatively higher. brought
$iS,925.512 in premiums to the in
surance companies. Miscellaneous
forms netted $1,358.573.

Hard Wash Caution.

While the use OF high pressure
water hoses is not recommended as a
regular diet, il is better to have one
good wash of the chassis when il is
covered with dirt rather than a half
dozen half hearted attempts at clean
ing. While the hose is being aimed
at the wheels and axes, however
some one should sit AT the wheel and
hold the brakes on. Usually the
pedal can be held down by means Of
a block, if there is no spare human
handy. The idea is to keep the
brakes from becoming waterlogged.

which would go far toward freeing

Two Types i'm Island.
Now. there are two distinct types
of inhabitants of the Philippines. One
! type consists of So wage or semi saNage
tribes scattered among the lands
the other consists of those of Spanish
descent or connection, who make up
the political force. They center at
Manila and their influence spreads
throughout the archipelago. They
remember very keenly the promise of
Uncle Sam that the Philippines shall
be free. that they shall be set up as
an independent government. and are
continually bombarding Washington
for Il. fulfillment of the old promise.
They insist that they are capable Of
f.goVernment now.
Apparently Washington does not
agree that the assimilation of the

that it would be at All safe, even for
