EXPLAINS REALTY
AND ASSURANCES
W. N. Payne, Jr., Discusses
Relationship Between Two
Before Y. M. C. A. Class.

The relation of real estate owner
ship to various forms of insurance
was outlined by William N. Payne'
IT,. in a lecture Monday evening De.
fore the Y. M. c.. A. class In real
estate, which is conducted under the
auspices of the Washington Real
Estate Board
Mr.. Payne described insurance as
method Of distributing losses due 10 a

ject to that contingency. The adVah.

successful, the student real estate men
were told. must be properly commits

licensed according to law. must be an
expert consultant on fire risks ana
must have ability to give adequate

Mr.. Payne traced the history Of in
surance from it's beginning with pro-
lection to mariners down to modern
day forms Of protection against losses
of many kinds. Fire insurance. the
second form to come into general use.
he said. had its inception following the
great London fire in 1866. which virtu-
ally wiped out the entire city. Life
insurance was inaugurated a little
later. although it was not properly
organized until 1860, the speaker said.
Casualty insurance came with the de.
velopment of the steam railway, being
first definitely organized in England
at the beginning Of the nineteenth
century.
Fire Insurance.
OF particular interest to real estate
men. Mr.. Payne said. was the item
of fire insurance. A fire insurance
policy, he said. was promise on the
part of an insurance company to pay

portion of the loss by fire. not exceed

The hero needs level head to care

II hard. One little boner and the
cheers will promptly die away and
there will be a storm of jeers before
the close of day. One little word to
indicate he's not first-class sport and
he'll be dubbed a tinhorn skate and
none his smiles will court. The whole
world watches every step the hero
deigns to make and it will spoil his
hard-earned rep upon his first mistake.
When Lindy as hero came back

Talks With Emigrants.
While crossing the Channel, says
the Daily Express correspondent in a
dispatch from Cherbourg, the Prince
OF Wales went into the steerage of the
liner and talked with emigrants on
their way to Canada. He asked a
number Of them for what places they
were bound.
I've seen that man in the movies"
said one boy to his companions as
the prince left.
The prince gave instructions that he
be treated the same as other passen-
gers, and dined in the saloon with the
others. He recognized a table steward
who had served him in London res

the joke and confided to Wales that

The passengers have commented
that Premier Baldwin, who rarely is

But she did disturb them. In fact
she made them very angry. They
came pouring out of the little hole In
the ground just as Reddy Fox reached
that spot. They were angry as only
yellowjackets can he. They promptly
blamed Reddy for disturbing their
nest, and they didn't take time to talk
the matter over. One landed right on
the end of Reddy's nose and Reddy
almost turned a somersault as he
yelped with pain and suddenly rubbed
his nose on the ground.
Meanwhile, others were whirling
about Reddy's head and singing

trouble was. He had had experience
before. He pushed his face along
through the grass to brush them off
He struck at them with his paws. And
then he took to his heels. He had for.
gotten all about a rabbit dinner.
Rabbits didn't interest him in the
least. All he cared about was getting
away from those sharp little lances of

lowjackets. So she says it was lucky
that when she thumped that danger
signal she happened to be right over

do you think about it?
Evening star., 1927-11-08


tr~ining had been Of the very best.
When that danger signal was
thumped, she didn't wait to find out
what the danger was or where it
was. She bounded away at full speed,
ipperty-lipperty-lip, straight for the
protection Of the nearest bushes.
Now, like all rabbits, Mrs. Pete
could look behind her as she ran.
She rolled her eyes back now. She
saw Mrs. Peter going at full jump for
the bushes on the other side of the
open place and she saw Reddy Fox
leaping to his feet and bounding after
Mrs. Peter. You see, Reddy had
understood that danger signal lust as
well as she had. Because Mrs. Peter
was nearest him and also because he
was headed toward her, he bounded
after her.
Now. Mrs. Peter had done a very
brave thing, for even though she
reached the bushes ahead of Reddy
Fox, she would still have to do some
smart lodging before she could reach
a bramble-tangle. She is good
dodger, but so is Reddy Fox. So you
see it really was a very brave thing
that Mrs. Peter had done.
Some people think there is no such
thing as luck. Perhaps there isn't,
but it certainly looks as if there is
sometimes. When Mrs. Peter thumped
that loud, hard thump with her hind
feet, she didn't know that she was
right over a yellowjackets nest. She
was SO intent on watching Reddy Fox
and on planning her escape that she
didn't notice the yellow Jackets going
la and out Of a hole in the ground
Close by her. SO when she thumped
and ran, she was quite innocent OF
