All motorists who carry liability "$isurance were urged by .the V w American Automobile association 'i;)tody to lose no time in examln- jus men 11.1 unity policies m oruer to make sure that they are-really ., insured and that the company un dertakes to pay judgments against them in all cases in consideration of the premiums paid. J .1 . There are few motorists, accord ing to the A.A.A. statement, who realize that when they buy liabil ity Vsurance they do not neces sarily 'buy protection against liability and that they may be buy Ing only protection against j loss, as some insurance companies re fuse to pay Judgments unless the policy holder first pays , the Judg ment himself. ,. This warming to motorists was Issued under the signature , of .v Major Roy F. Britton of St. Louis, Missouri, chairman of the legis lative board of the A.A.A. and president of the automobile club of Missouri, which recently, made an exhaustive investigation of various types of automobile in surance contracts. "It is obviously unfalrfor In surance companies to accept ' pre- rS mi urns from motorists unless they are prepared to pay in all cases," v In view of the fact that millions . of motorists pay substantial sums for . protection In case accidents, Majoe-JJritton declared that it is high time that motorists ; were warned against the type of Insur ance that! merely! guarantees pro tection against loss and does not undertake to pay judgments in . cases where the insured is '. In solvent or has not at his disposal the liquid assets1 with which to pay damages. ' ' - He pointed out that while, many , insurance companies pay and waive technicalities by inserting a clause in the policy which guaran tees payment whether or not the Insured is bankrupt or Insolvent, other companies- tail 'to provide this 'insolvency clause. I "In the case of the latter," said Major Britton, "it is fair to j as sume that the companies would fight payment In case Judgment is "obtained against the Insured and he himself is unable to pay. In fact cases of this kind have fre r quently come up in the ,courtsp the courts lat these, install ces Bustain- riilo of law that & nollrv J-S providing for indemnity- against Vjfclosa does no,t become payable un TTtH the.f insured pays the judg- I. merit." He continued: i i "An investigation has revealed that some insurance companies so 1 word their noliples t hat thcr are not legally forced to pay damages unless the policy holder is financi ally able to pay the damage him self. Jf he la unable to pay, the insurance company in some in- ; stances refuses to. pay. The in jured party does not collect and tlaa insured, is left with a judg ment hanging over him.,. "Practically every motorist Is under the Impression that ' his liability policy provides that if he injures someone and that per son sues and gets a judgment, the insurance company wlll ; pay the amount of the judgment, provid ed that it does not' exceed the - policy limit. - -"This, . however, is far , from being the case. In many Instanced , policies held by motorists- rea? iliie this:. The, company in con- sideration of the premium, agrees to indemnify the insured against loss sustained by the Insured, ) MOTOR TRIPS ABROAD The Most Famous of All Hightbitys ONE OF A SEIUES OF TRAVEL iiLKS I It Pkoto CcmrUtj lf 0 and OtntUr Motor Mountain 'Air and Til ERE are many famous high , vrays throughout the world ; i but few that compare with the Axenstrasse in Switzerland -Thh greatest of all motor roads, carved : r , - ' Marmon, Chandler and arising from liability for dam ages. i j j i i "This simply meanB that a com pany offering this type of policy does not i undertake to pay ,tfie person ! injured ! j when he gets a judgment against yoU.j The com pany will reimburse toW when yoa yourself pay the judkment. -, But if you are unable to pafy the insur ance company will Odt; , pay and is j not bound to pay under this type of contract. ; j 1 : "Two classes of fpolicy holders are affected when suclf a situation f develops, namely, thofee who are actually Insolvent andj those who have the means but? not im mediately available fr payment.

"It should be stated in fairness that many of the repitable insur ance companies recoisiize a moral obligation to protect their patrons and even have waived the techni cality in cases where fhe insured was unable to pay Ih addition, many companies embdy in their policies what is called an insol vency clause which provides that tjhe , Insolvency or bankruptcy i of the policy holder 6hal not release the company from the; payment of damages." j j ' i ;1 j "Every -motorist isj, of course, expected to exercis the utmost care that he does htt hurt any one and realized that liability In surance; does npt weigh in the scale against carelessness or reck lessness.

ONE-YEAR CAR IS PAST Wlf.iiYS - KNIGHT COMPANY kilVK UNUSUAL. FIGURES t . Trend in motor car bdy and mechanical design throughout the industry In late years- has been towards longevity. Motor experts state that the average life of cars now produced Is , eight years. Manufacturers feature the fact in their advertising and sales data that their cars will stand up for eight to ten years with reasonable care. I The day of the so-called "one year car" has since passed. Your far-sighted manufacturer is work ing -with the thought in mind of giving the public a car that will not only stand up satisfactorily as long as the gloss of newness is upon It, but will serve the owner for. a good many seasons and a good many thousands of miles.' Our sales and service depart ments have innumerable records of cars which have been in use for this' length of time. We have a Willys-Knight engine which has travelled more than. 300,000 miles In police and fire service in Toledo and is now being used in a truck. Out in California there is a WWy- Knight compe' which has passed through the hands of three own ers and has travelled more than 100,000 miles-without onee having the. cylinder head removed. , "A taxlcab operator in Chicago drove a Willys-Knight cab more than 50,000 to 75,000 miles to the com plete satisfaction of their owners. Only just the other day we re ceived word from a driver of an Overland car of the year 1908 who had just given his seventeen year old vehicle a fresh coat of paint. Last year this car carried him from Wichita, Kansas, to Pike's Peak si back again. German : Court ISaysl Judges j May Go to Sleep If Bored BERLIN'. A Judge who was, found napping has - given rise to a far-reaching controversy in Ger many. In the "course of events this question was referred to the German supreme court at Lelpslc, wbich came to the strange de cision that his honor, may safely take his little, snooze now and then, tor In passing judgment it is his body, not his mind, which is the principal factor concerned, j As was to be expected, this de-t cision has again evoked heated discussion among the best known, jurists n the country. FroMli Goldschmidt, the legal authority at the Berlin university, expresses his opinion thus ' I ; j i "One cannot expect a judge to give his undivided attention to the proceedings. i He is obliged to sign documents, to receive messages. and to answer numerous questions during the trial.. .But II it is pos itively proved . that ' he has been asleep, the case becomes prohibit ive, for sleep signifies loss of con sciousness, and also irresponsi biuty." 1y r US Gold Is Resuming Pre-war Flow to Russia i MOSCOW Although no offi cial relations exist between - the United States and Soviet; Russia, intimate contact by letter is main tained by Russians, living In Am erica with relatives In Russia.

What the stu dent body, ot the council of the Episcopal church expe'ets from- the church in the present day religious controversy, will be determined her June. 18-24 when the trien nial assembly of the National stu dent council is in session. The attitude of the undergraduates in 100 universities and colleges has been obtained in a questionnaire distributed throughout the coun cil. ' ' ' When; accord has been reached finally - by the assembly, the re sults will be put in a definite statement and upon this declara tion will bo, based -the action to be taken at the eighth triennial general convention of the church to be held at New Orleans, October 7th.-- r....--- ;. -:. -, - , " The students were, asked to ex press their views on such problems as: "Should one's thinking in religion be organized into creedal formt'. How, do the teachingf of the church harmonize with the established results of modern science?" -What may a student expect from the church, and why?" "Is a working knowledge of the Bible necessary to a proper practice of Christianity?" and "What effect has college had upon your religion, and why?" ! Answers to these questions and a score of others equally pertinent have been received in surprising volume. "t i . The assembly will be divided into eight discussion groups, the personnel of which will rhange each - day -so - that a student will have an opportunity to discuss the problems laid down in the ques tionnaire with different students from all over the country. Later, a forum of the entire conference Will hear reports from the discus sion groups, accept or reject their decision, and shape the policy of the student work of the council n all of the institutions represent ed for the next triennlum.

Powell, Hudson-Es-sek dealer, "and in doing so has established low price "for six cylin der cars. Essex coaches have long been the lowest priced six cylinder closed cars on the- market, and now -they, are 'offered at a price actually below that of any" six cyljpder open car. , "Especially with the easy' purchasing-terms which we now have in effect, almost anyone who has the purchase of any closed car in mind can buy an Essex coach. "This reduction .in price is a most striking example of what can be accomplished by a large volume of business, Hudson-Essex is now the largest builder of six cylinder motor cars in the world. This fact results in economies which would not be possible under any 0ther( condition. That is why the Essex can be offered at so very favorable a figure. "The reduction in the Essex price comes just a -month after the cut in the Hudson super-six. Both of these - reduction s were- in line with the Hudson-Essex policy of giving the best possible value-! i. 11 AS n i I oi ail U1UC3. r "What are the distinguishing features, of , Hiidson-Essex manu facturing economy?

Secondly, it is a spe cialist in enclosed -, cars ninety per cent of its entire production being 'in the popular Hudson and Essex -coaches.- Thirdly, overhead expense is light and it is divided over the-combined totals of Hud eon and Essex. 4 Fourth, Hudson- Essex originated the, coach, has made over 250,000 of them, and naturally, knows how to btild them well ant economically.

Bootleg ging, in Russia js aa great an evil as it is in the United States. The illicit manufacture of vodka which -is 96 per cent pure alcohol, is uni versal throughout the country. The prisons are crowded with men and women convicted of bootlegging. Every day the government con fiscates hundreds of home-brewing stills, exiling the owners to Siber ia or sentencing them from one to three years at hard labor.' Declaring it had .found complete prohibition a failure, the govern ment has recently permitted the manufacture and sale of 30 per cent, vodka and by October 1 will allow 40 percent vodka. This it is hoped AVilL stop ,the wide-spread illicit manufacture. The new. or der has been hailed with joy by inn-keepers, restaurants, and the Russian .public generally. Although punishment for viola tion of the vodka prohibition , act in Russia is almost as severe as the penalty prescribed by. the Am erican government for : violation of rhe Vols'tead dry law, vodka la found at every well-ordered meal in Russian homes. In many cases it is home-ma.de from common po tatoes, rye, raisins, sugar or even ordinary honey, while in other in stances it is of the pure bootleg variety derived from grain alco hols It is drunk not so much as a stimulant or thirst-quencher, as an incitement to the appetite. Wine of good quality can be had all over Russia. The government has found it expedient to permit the manufacture and consumption of wine for purposes of revenue and to save the extensive Russian vineyards in the Caucasus, the Crimea and Armenia from econ omic ruin. The manufacture and sale of. beer also is allowed. Brew eries formerly owned by individ uals have passed into- the hands of the government which oper ates the breweried, through State trusts. - Trousers May Grow .Fuller As Skirts Become Shorter LONDON', June 12.
