WASHINGTON", D, C, June 13.
1? 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,

: "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

In either case the insurance com
pany is in a position to take ad
vantage of the jwordifig ; ot the
policy which agrees o give pro
tection i against i'losi and not
against liability.!! : JH .
"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

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

attitude of the undergraduates in
100 universities and colleges has
been obtained in a questionnaire
distributed throughout the coun

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

"Essex reduces prices again,"
said Fred M. 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-!

"What are the distinguishing
features, of , Hiidson-Essex manu

said, Hudson-Essex is the largest
six manufacturer in number of
cars made." 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.

HARD LABOR AWAITS
BREWERS OF ILLICIT
LIQUORS IN RUSSIA
MOSCOW, June, 12. 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. -
