CHAPTER 6

I FELT something in my throat
when my father told me God had
called him. L wanted to weep
over that boy who was my father
that free-souled lad who had
longed for the sea, and who had
been cast high and dry by con-
science on the shoals Of a village
pastorate.
But couldn't you have gone on
with your law even if you were
converted ?"
1.-THE call was for other things.
1t was your mother who prayed
that / might be led to preach-and
l loved her."
It was hard for me to visualize
my mother as moving a man ro-
mantically, as was moved, for
example, by the thought Of the
girl with the peacock feather. My
mother was so cool and self
contained and colorless. Yet it
seemed it had been her religious
,fervor which had swung my
father from his worldly ambitions.
She had prayed for him; had set
before him the goal Of conseera-
ton and self-sacrifice. Old-fash-
toned phrases! Yet you must re-
member that they were country
folk, and that modern skepticism
had not touched them. Even now
I am not sure my mother was
right to sway her lover from his
first choice Of a profession.
My father would have been him.

the lives of those about him. Yet,

''Who knows what he may do ?
The house Of your life is your
own to build, Jerry. And you've
got to live in it until the end.
So look out for rotten timbers."
It was when we returned from
our trip to the lake that we found
a letter from Uncle Jerry which
was to change in every way my
future. He wanted, he said, to
send me to college. Not as my
father and mother had planned,
to one of the cheap small colleges
where could help by my work to
pay my way, but to Yale. He
would meet all expenses, giving
me, besides the cost Of board and
s tuition, a generous allowance. ]

had he would leave to me. The
deal which he had tried to put
over in Washington had been
brought successfully to a finish
It would be fine to have a Jerome
Chandler to carry on the name.

what this meant to enamel

was flushed, excited. I read
the letter twice aloud. "He says

but not until he dies, jerry"
That brought me up. I didn't
want my uncle to die. Indeed, il
seemed to me as if he ought tt
live forever, as if the red an6
white of him, his strength anc
vigor, gave him a sort of death
less immunity from the common
lot.

Members do not solicit business.
On the contrary, even the most in

likes, that he is member OF
Lloyd's, but that is all; he must not
give any press interviews on any
subject connected with Moyd's.
Even the Chairman of Lloyd's is so
rarely quoted or referred to by
name that few in the "City" can
even name him, offhand.
All business must be rendered
through brokers. The broker makes
out a slip of paper describing the
risk and the. amount of insurance
sought, and then approaches vari-
GUS syndicates likely to be interest
ed. If the broker accepts the rate
quoted him, the syndicate manager
initials the brokers' slip, indicating
the share which the syndicae pro-
poses to take and the rate. This is
binding on the syndicate even
though the policy is not signed un-
til later.

latter mainly fire but including in

such as the postponement of a

Nogales international., 1937-02-06

Lloyd's does not deal in life in
surance as such. Fir one thing, all
policies are limited to one year Oc-
casionally, policies are issued against
the risk of a public man dying with
in a year. Nowadays that can only
be done after the would-eb insurer
shows that ne stands to lose fin

American Incident Raised
But Lloyd's will not insure any,
body against the risk of President
RooSevelt's not living out his term,
for example. In June, 1884, the
American Ambassador in London
protested against Lloyds writing
such policies whereupon Sir John
Simon wrote to Lloyd's and to the
British insurance companies re-
questing that such business be re-
fused. This was promptly agreed
to- 1t is believed that a few pol
icies aggregating less than $780,
900 had been written; these have
since expired.
Lloyd's rates for contingencies"
are stated, usually, in >"guineas per
cent" meaning that the insurance
costs so many guineas of 81 siill-
ings each for each 100 of cover.
Common newspaper error is to treat
the rate as though it were straight
percentage as though "8 guineas
per cent? meant guineas for each
100 guineas which would be per
cent. But that is wrong; the cover
is in pounds and the rate in guineas
-8.4 per cent of 100.
! Sometimes newspapers convert
Lloyd's rates into betting odds. For
example, when the rate against the
outbreak of a European war within
six months was quoted as IS guineas
per cent" this was converted into
odds of 16 to l against the outbreak
of war.
Premium Never Recovered
Arithmetic is all right for 6
guineas is, roughly, 1/16th of 100
but Lloyd's, it is pointed out in
+. formally, does not bet. Essence of a
bet is that if you win you recover
your stakes as well as the sum won,
whereas all insurances atLloyd's are
straight ..insurances, with premium
paid at the outset and not recover

the insurance paid.

rise to 80 shillings.

Several kinds of policies were
written. on the risk Of the post
ponement Of the King of England's
Coronation. Some policies inserted
the name of "King Edward" and
those policies have been paid. 9th
ers, against the postponement of
"the Coronation" are presumably
still valid though if the insurer can
show that he has actually lost
money by the substitution Of King
Geodge WI for King Edward VIII,
then he has already collected. So
far as is known, no insurance has
been sought on the marriage of the

Hartford, Nov. 10-With market Ing one of ths major problems fac- ing the vegetable industry, the veg etable growers, at their twenty-fifth annual convention in Waterbury on December 2 and 8, will feature this important phase of their business. Captain Richard Henderson, assist ant local advertising manager of the Hartford Times, will talk specifically on the benefits to De derivde by veg etable growers from advertising their products. Other speakers throughout the two-day convention will ap- proach the marketing problem from different angles so that 1t is expected that those attending will learn more about production as well as the most satisfactory way of growing, packing and merchandising their product.
 Captain Henderson has been work ing very closely with the Hartford Market Gardeners association and has assisted them in the preparation and distribution of copy for adver- tisements which the organization has carried during the past year.
 It is expected that his talk will reveal the results of the advertising program in Hartford as well as in other cities of the country and show the benefits that the local market gardeners associations in various parts of the state might expect to receive from strictly local adver- tiSi1p car1ra ipf

Government, most of which has been spent in the Department of Agriculture; lives on a farm in northern Virginia, and consequent ly has a raft of knowledge which should benefit the vegetable grow CTS of Connecticut.
 Marketing costs vary on different farms and Rollin H. Barrett, pro- lessor of farm management of the Massachusetts State College, will be at the meeting and use motion pie lures which illustrate methods used and the reasons for these varying costs. Many growers who have seen MT. Barrett's pictures have been able, as the result of seeing them selves as the camera portrays them, to eliminate many of their inefh- cient practices.
 The above are only a few of the speakers scheduled for the two-day session in the Hotel Elton and the trade exhibit in nearby Temple hall. The annual banquet will be held on the 9th with the evening of the 7th being devoted to an informal discussion on farm machinery for vegetable growers with the showing of motion pictures of various equip ment in actual use. This will take place in Temple hall and Prof. E. R. Gross of the New Jersey State Col lege, New Brunswick, has been se- cured to give the one talk of the evening and will tell the Connecti- cut vegetable growers how they may separate the "chaff from the wheat" when 1t comes to selecting econom- ical and efficient farm machinery.
