INTER-TNSfR AN CE
The average businessman, it may
he said, pays less attention to his in
surance contracts than to any other
detail of his business; he procures
policies covering the various hazards
of which his business or property is
exposed, pays his premiums and files
the policies away feeling that he has
done all that is necessary and is fully
protected. As to the obligations of
his insurance carrier on the one part,
and of himself on the other, as parties
to a contract involving many thou
sands of dollars, he usually has a woe
ful lack of knowledge or appreciation.
The premium charge—what the in
surance costs in this or that company
-—is his principal concern, and from
that viewpoint he regards the cheap
est as the best. Such vital considera
tions as the solvency of the insurance
company, its fundamental plan of op
eration on which depends its ability
to survive and meet its obligations,
present and future, the financial se
ct rity and stability back of the insur
ance contract, the character of its
management and the custody and dis
bursement of its funds, etc., are mat
ters of relative unimportance.
This general ignorance on the part
of those who purchase insurance ex
plains, in a measure, the ease with
■which businessmen of known integrity
and responsibility are induced to en
dorse and place their names back of
questionable Insurance enterprises. A
most notable example of this is the
endorsement by the Automobile Club
of Philadelphia of the Pennsylvania
Indemnity Exchange, of this city, rec
ommending that insurance scheme as
"strong, sound rtnd past the experi
mental stage." Insurance in the In
demnity Exchange, however, is not
confined to members of the Automo
bile Club, but is issued to anyone de
siring to participate in its operations,
and, accordingly, the activities of the
Exchange throughout the State now
m ke it a matter of public concern to
examine it from a practical insurance
standpoint.
Briefly stated, it is an unincor
porated association of automobile
owners, authorized under the Act of
June. 1913, for the purpose of ex
changing insurance among the mem
bers. termed "inter-insurance" or "re
ciprocal" Insurance. The business of
the association is conducted by an at
torney-in-fact. the Pennsylvania In
demnity Company, a corporation cap
italized at $15,000, each member of
the association executing an unlimited
power-of-attorney to that corporation
to act for him in all matters pertain
ing to his participation in the insur
ance and a Board of Trustees is ap
pointed, ostensibly in the interests of
the policyholders, and to exercise con
trol of the funds of the association.
Twenty-five per cent, of each premium
is paid to the attorney-in-fact in con
sideration of its agreeing to act for
the subscribers.
The classes of insurance written are
automobile fire, theft, property dam
age and collision, and personal injury
liability; each member is subject un
der the law to an unlimited assess
ment liability to pay the losses under
all policies concurrent with his own;
new members, however, may not be
assessed on account of losses incurred
prior to their becoming members.
It is readily seen that a scheme of
this character, if the policyholders' in
terests are to be duly considered, must
follow carefully-conceived and prac
tical insurance lines, and the rights of
subscribers on the one hand and of
the attorney-in-fact on the other, be
clearly defined and controlled; in
other words, the management of the
business, care and custody of the
funds and all the fundamental requis
ites of the successful conduct of an in
surance business must be scrupulously
observed. After a careful investiga
tion, however, we fail to see where the
policyholders of this Exchange are to

THURSDAY EVENING,
any reasonable extent protected
against exploitation or the dangers at
tendant upon the operation of the
business by men inexperienced in the
technicalities and problems of liabil
ity underwriting.
The officers of the operating com
pany (attorney-in-fact) are three for
mer life insurance agents and an at
torney, none of whom has had pre
vious experience in liability underwrit
ing or claims management. To such
inexperienced hands is entrusted the
entire management of an insurance
enterprise involving the protection of
policyholders against the present and
deferred liability arising out of per
sonal injury claims under automobile
policies, than which there is no more
technical or difficult branch In the
whole liability underwriting field. Un
der such circumstances the unlimited
assessment liability of policyholders is
an excellent feature for those claim
ing damages for personal injuries, but
it is likely to prove expensive for the
policyholders.
The impression is general that the
twenty-five per cent, paid to the at
torney-in-fact is the maximum which
may be charged to administration ex
pense, but inasmuch as the remaining
seventy-five per cent. is. under the
contract with the subscribers or pol
icyholders, "chargeable with any
amount which may be properly
chargeable thereto" the administration
expense is not limited to twenty-five
per cent., nor is there any limit, ap
parently, except in the judgment of
the attorney-in-fact.
Obviously if the policyholders are
to be represented at all it must be by
some authority standing between
them and the attorney-in-fact in re
spect to the custody of their funds and
their Interests generally; but here
again we find the policyholders enjoy
ing a false security, for the Trustees
supposed to represent them and con
trol and direct the use of the funds
of the association, are appointed, not
by the policyholders but bv the attor
ney-in-fact; the thing to be super
vised, regulated and controlled creates
the thing which is to supervise, regu
late and control it.
A general contingent fund (the
amount of which is not given in the
literature published by the Exchange)
Is also provided for; this, it would be
supposed, would be held strictly for
the use and benefit of the policyhold
ers and carefully safeguarded as the
foundation of their future security,
unless actually necessary for the
liquidation of current losses; but still
again the attorney-in-fact steps in and
assumes control, for it Is agreed that
this fund may be applied to any pur
pose which the attorney deems proper
Trusteeship is created in one para
graph of the contract and withdrawn
or nullified in the next.
Throughout the entire contractual
relationship between the policyholders
and the attorney-in-fact there is no
ground on which the former may
stand so far as their having any con
trol or direction of the affairs of the
association is concerned; everything
reverts in the end to the attorney-in
fact—collection of the funds, deter
mining the expenses, care, control and
disbursement of the assets, the exer
cise of underwriting and claim discre
tion, all are in the control of the at
torney through the unlimited powers
conferred:
Without assets other than its cur
rent premiums, and free from any le
gal requirements as to maintenance of
loss reserve, such underwriting might
be successful if confined to classes of
insurance in which no deferred liabil
lty accumulates, hut with the inclusion
of personal injury liability, with Its
certainty of a future undetermined
loss cost, under a management en
tirely inexperienced in liability under
writing, but one result may be antici
pated, loss to policyholders in the end
and another failure written attaint
experimental insurance. sainsc

What to Do to Get Fat
and Increase Weight
The Real Cause of Thinness
Most peonle eat from four to six
pounds of good, solid, fat-making food
every day and still do not increase in
weight one ounce, while on the other
hand many of the plump, chunky folks
eat very lightly and keep gaining all
the time. It's all bosh to sav that this
is the nature of the individual. It isn't
Nature's way at all
Most thin people stay thin because
their powers of assimilation are defec
tive. They absorb Just enough of the
food they eat to maintain life and a
semblance of health and strength. Stuf
fing won't help them. A dozen meals
a day won't make them gain a single
"stay there" pound. All the fat-produc
ing elements of their food just stay
there in the intestines until they pass
from the body as waste. What such
people need is something that will pre
pare these fatty food elements so that
their blood can absorb them and de
posit them all about the body—some
thing too, that will multiply their red
blood corpuscles and Increase their
blood's carrying power.
F'or such a condition it is well to
recommend eating a Sargol tablet with
every meal. Sargol is not, as some be
lieve, a patented drug, but is simply a
careful combination of six of the most
effective and powerful assimilative and
flesh-building elements known to
chemistry/- It 1b absolutely harmless,
yet has been wonderfully effective and
a single tablet eaten with each meal
•often, according to reports of users,
has the effect or increasing the weight
of a thin man or woman from three to
five pounds a week. Sargol is sold by
George A. Gorgas and other good drug
gists everywhere on a positive guaran
tee of weight increase or money back.

ladies Interested in the civic work of
the city were present.
The luncheon was given at the
handsome new Nonatuck Hotel. Mr.
Stackpole reviewed what had been
done here under the several municipal
loans, described the methods used in
the successful campaigns and paid a
high tribute to the public spirit and
progressive activities of the citizens of
Harrlsburg. 'He took occasion to
refer to the similarity of the physical
characteristics of Holyoke and Har

BIG MUNITION
ORDERS BOOKED
Government Could Take Over
Contracts of Firms Supply
ing Foreign Powers
An idea of this country's ability to
obtain adequate supplies of war muni
tions if needed in Mexico may be had
by glancing over the weekly review of
the steel trade. One firm alone dur
ing the past week booked orders for
110,000 shells. These could be taken
over by our government on short no
tice.
In its weekly review of the trade,
the lron Age to-day says:
The steel trade is quieter, but the
quietness is not undermining prices.
Only recently competitive bidding of
foreign and domestic buyers was forc
ing prices up steadily; now the stage
Is reached when export demand is of
more consequence than that at home.
The fact that more steel in certain
forms is available for early shipment
is attracting attention. There is some
reselling of structural steel by fabri
cators who bought speculatively in
part.
Some new contract* for war forg
ings have been made, including
100,000 9.2 ln» and 10,000 12-in shells,
representing together about 24,000
tons of steel. Some of the smaller
munitions contracts are running out
and more are to be placed at lower
prices, but the bulk of the steel for
such work has been covered thl3 year.
If Bessemer steel is taken, the early
deliveries wanted on the second half
of the 360,000 tons of rails Russia set
out to huy can be had. Some stiff
prices were realized on the part of
this business already placed. By ano
ther week the extent of Russia's barb
wire orders will probably be known.
The plate mills are counting much
on the effect of the naval program for
the coming year, rf two dread
naughts are included, as now indica
ted, a total of 150,000 tons of plates
and shapes would be required and
most of it would probably be bought
in the next six months. A new Japan
ese inquiry Is for 10,000 tons of plates.
Early Morning Wedding
Solemnized at St. JameJ
A pretty wedding was solemnized at

THE "SQUARE"
CHEW-THE
BEST CHEW
"American Navy" is the Biggesi
Chewing Tobacco Value
in the World
RICH, SWEET, MILD, MELLOW
. You get more genuine tobacco en
joyment and more real benefit out of s
chew of good plug tobacco than out of
any other form in which tobacco can be
made.
Tobacco like "scrap" can't have as
much rich, sweet, fruity leaf-flavor in
it as plug because it's made only of leaf
"cuttings." And it can't hold its fresh
ness and as long as plug, because
it's loosely packed.
Chew properly pressed plugs made
of the whole leaf like American Navy
and you 11 find it not only far more
tasty and satisfying, but also an aid to
digestion and health.
All the rich juices stored up by Na
ture jn the leaf are retained in the
American Navy plug, so that every
chew overflows with the sweet, fresh,
distinctive flavor that has made Amer
ican Navy famous.
A savory chew of American Navy
dove-tails to perfection with the day's
work. It puts an edge on your appe
tite and gives you genuinely wholesome
and lasting satisfaction.
Every man with a real tobacco taste
who once tries American Navy chews
it right along.
Big, generous cuts for Sc and 10c.
