Courtesy Helps Safety.

Common highway courtesy-that
good old-fashioned kind that existed
In horse-and-buggy days-will prevent
many traffic accidents. When you
meet another fellow at an intersection
don't insist on the right OF way. If
he knows you have 1t, fine: but If he is
at an argumentative mood an accident
will result unless one Of you gives in
gracefully.

NEW BRITAIN CASE
 ACCEPTED AS TEST
Lawyers, Insurance Ad. iusters in Feud Over
 Claim Settlements

Tho Waterbury Bar association members expressed interest today in the report expected inomentarily from Q committee of the New Bri- tain association. dealing with the rela tioriships between insurance ad- justers and lawyers. The question has been studied for the past several months, and an extensive thesis ot the subject Is expected.
 Insurance Commissioner John O. Blackall faB discussed the question, but as yet has set up no regtila tions since the new state law went Into effect, forcing the licensing Of oil adjustery. At the present time a suit Is pending against A young New Britain adjuSter, having been filed by lawyers of that town.
 Lawyers have claimed that nd. justerS often take undue advantage in attempting to settle cases, that they sometimes advise injured per. sons against hiring lawyers on the claim that unnecessary expense would be involved.
 There will undoubtedly Dc brought LID tho matter of setting q time limit within which adjuSters should not confer with claimants after m nc. cident during which an adjuster could not visit an injured person; tho matter of dlsapproving inter. views of injured persons by adjust. CTS without permission.
