HUDSON, ESSEX E 1 YKS HIT YOU PAYI Tho ucstton is often raised by car owners as to whether their Insurance applies if their car Is .stolen when they have neglected to lock It. A number of motor ists are always wondering wheth er it voids the Insurance to leave a car siund out all night. Others ask. "What If the car Is stolen from the garage, where the owner does, not use the lock on account of preventing the car from being moved In event of fire?" The answer to these riuerles is an emphatic but subtle "yes." The insurance companies invariably pay the claims, but the car own ers pay for their negligence. These unnecessary losses are reflected In the high rutes which all must pay. Oregon Motorist. Now-. Bud took 'the buggy And went a-spai-klng; Sis took the coupe And went n-parking! Whirlwind.
