THE SUNDAY DRIVER"
: = : + = = = = + + : = +

with the arrival Of spring there is
increasingly noticeable on the high
ways again the appearance of GER
tain type of motorist commonly de-
scribed as a Sunday Driver" for want
cf better term. He is the type who,
out just for the ride, pokes along in
heavy traffic at snail's pace, watch
ing the scenery instead of watching
the roadway; in short making himself
a general nuisance.
He is the type who usually hogs the
highway as though it were only for
his own personal use, holding up line
of cars sometimes nearly a block long,
utterly oblivious to the rights of those
motor vehicle operators who really
have some place to go. Naturally, the
slowing up Of traffic in this way is
bound to result in congestion and
congestion, in the final analysis, tends
to cause accidents
There is no wish to perform the in
justice of excluding from the highway
altogether these motorists who like to
laze along in their own sweet and irri-
tating way. But in justice to all mo-
torists 0. W. Merrell, director of the
Ohio department of highways, offers
the suggestion that the Sunday Driv-
er" use the many fine side roads at his
disposal, thus leaving the main traf-
fic arteries unobstructed and open to
drivers travelling with definite des-
tination ahead. ,ta
In the interest of traffic safety, do
not overlook the rights of the other
fellow and the fact that the highways
should be used in such manner as
to provide the maximum amount Of
safety to the greatest number of mo-
torists, Highway Director Merrell
urges. There are more than enough
highways in the state to take care of
all motorists for whatever purpose
they wish, he points out. Only use
them with good judgment and discrim-
ination.

Why Insurance
Is Safe Is Told

There is very good reason why
the assets of recognized insurance
companies are safe even in times of
great stress-and that reason is di-
versification.
An insurance company may have
1000 different investments. AS a
consequence, when a policyholder
pays in 500, but five cents of it
would then represent a single risk.
A hundred great concerns might fail
and but five per cent of the insur-
ance investment would be lost-and
insurance companies maintain great
reserves precisely to protect the pol
icyholder in such a case.
In addition, insurance investments
are of the highest calibre. A size
able part is in government bonds
and the industrial concerns selected
for investment are the cream of the
crop. Their securities have definite
value. Prices may go temporarily
to extremely low levels, but the in
surance company, having no need to
sell, can hold them as long as
it wishes.
That is why life insurance is safe
-as safe as any humanity operated
business can be. It operates under
stringent laws, and is managed by
men of broad experience, with the
Rest Of facilities at their disposal for
choosing investments. In SO years,
not a single policyholder has suf-
fered loss due to failure of legal
reserve life insurance company. Wars
and panics and depressions come and
go-leaving the insurance industry as
solid as Gibraltar.

factory or residence of today is
greater than it was few decades
ago. The necessity of giving contin-
uous, undivided attention to fire con-
troll becomes steadily more apparent.
There IS not a community in the
country, large or small, which can
afford to be without a first-class fire
department. Almost any department,
no matter how ill-trainod its mem
bers, or how basically inefficient its
apparatus, looks good in parade.
All we see are the uniforms and the
red paint. The test comes when a
fire breaks out. 1t is then that mon
and machines show what they are
made of. Standard apparatus built
entirely with an eye to quality and
not cost alone, is capable of operat-
ing hour after hour, under the most
difficult conditions, without loss of
efficiency. b-standard or assem-
bled apparatus has habit Of break
ing down when most needed.
A cheap" fire department is a
real luxury. 1t is liable to cost the
community, in the long run, a thou
sand or ten thousand times the cost
of a good department. The list of
great fires which could have been ex-
tinguished had the fire department
been little more efficient, is long
one, as is the list of potentially great
fires which have been quickly con-
quered by modern apparatus in the
hands of first-class personnel.

"What part seemed to impress you

"Well, now, since you ask me, I'll

want over the same things again and

Fire Control Is
Real Science

Fire control is an exact science.
Its practitioners fit themselves for
their work by study and experience
exactly as do lawyers, engineers or
the followers of any other profession.
Every step forward in our indus

increased fire hazards. The chance
