you PAY INSURANCE FRAUDS

Honest casualty Insurance policyhold-

dollars through fake claims.
This isn't suspicion, but fact Today
one out of every four personal damage

times have made the problem most acute.
Dishonest doctors and lawyers seize on
unemployed persons in need of money, and
enter claims for accidents that have never
occurred. The doctor testifies to imagin-
airy injuries, the lawyer sues-and in thou
sands of cases the insurance company is
powerless and must pay, even when it is
confident of fraud. Last year the cas-
ualty companies CT the country paid out
$96,000,0G0 to injured policyholders, an
increase of more than 100000 in II
months Company officials conservative

per cent-was crookedly obtained.
Here is a real public problem. The cas-

bel of offenders to prison. But they will
never get far without public interest and
support, and a general realization of sit
