The Increasing number of automobile
accidents has been the means or empha
sising for tha Insurance companies the
need of a protection which their poll-
clea afford. It la likely that their busi
ness haa Increased -very considerably

a matter of tact, most automobtllsts are
ready to Insure their cars, because even
tha. moat careful driver may soma time
be put In a posltloa of danger to himself
and the others through tbs fsult of eome
more careless pilot of an automobile.
Any automobile Insurance comes or

and theft, pre perty damage, collisions.
and personal liability. The last named
la the most Important, because very often
an automobtUst may be the causa of a
small accident for which an annoying
suit Is Instituted, and when he la insured
all this Is shifted to the company, which
conducts ths defense for him end psys
the damage up to a certain limit with
out his being much troubled In the course
of the suit.
Even If It Is a very small car It may
run Into and kill some one and Its owner
may be sued for many times the value
of the automobile. The mulcting br a
jury- of a good etsed turn la avoided when
there Is sn sdequata policy. The cost
of this type of Insurance depends on the
horse-power of the ear. In the larger
cities It costs more than In the rural dis
tricts, the rate being, according to an
expert on Insurance. 35 for ears of fif

horsepower cars, and 11) for any car

The property damage Insurance for
which policies of a minimum amount of
H.0M are issued cover the assured

by reason of collision with any vehicle
whether stationary or moving; a damage
that might be caused by running over
animals or from striking any object. The
field of this policy Is restricted to dam
