Will Insure Anything Insurable at an Adequate Preminm, "Insured at Lloyd's" is a comfort: able line which somehow takes the edge off the horror inspired by re- Ports of disaster at sea. The news- Paper reader wiconsciously feels that if this mysterious and beneficent | Power named "Lloyd's" had not been l interested matters would have been | much worse. . {| To-most people Lloyd's is more or let of a mystery, The majority are | of the opinion that in some way it is conhected with shipping. To others it is an insurance company which Seems to make i specialty of freak insurance, such as guaranteeing Jthe| safety of a dancer's foot, the hand of | the violinist, the voice of the prima | donna, or the decision .in a closely | | contested election. Still others re- | gard Lloyd's as a source of informa: | tion on all manner of topics; while some think it is a mysterious sort of | inspection bureau or a great detec: i tive agency. As a matter of fact Lloyd's is ap] | association of business men-who will insuré anything insurable at an ade- quate premium. Its affairs are handled in the business man's way of handiing affairs, and for a profit | | always. In operation ihe procedure atl Lloyd's is simplicity itself. We will assume that a manufacfurer in this country desires to insure his plant {| against fire or any other catastrophe. | The American insurance company | cannot or does not care to assume the entire risk, so it cables te a| broker at Lloyd' in London asking him to place = 10,000. As 8000 | as the latter receives the cable he! | prepares _a form detailing the char-; ! acter of The risk to be assumed. He «then presents this in turn to the various other brokers assembled at Lloyd's. Each of tHypse men is equip- ped with a rubber stamp on which are listed the group of underwriters he répresents, and when Lie receives the form he impresses one of these | stamps on the back of it, writing in pencil the amount of the risk he isi willing to assume for his underwrit- ers and signing his initfals thereto. On vessels, in the "Lloyd's of Lon-| {\don,"" these amounts rarely . exceed! [ $500 or $750 | When the full amount of the risk | has been subscribed there is cabled back to the United States what is known as «= "binder," following] which is a printed binding memor- andum indicating that Lloyd's are| covering on exactly the same ee] and ungler) exactly the same condi-| tions af thd American insurance com- pany. {ShouM the American com- pany for any reason withdraw the) insurance: the policy of Lloyd's be- comes automatically null and void, as from the Yer¥ nature of things Lloyd' unable to inspect the 718% | in reality it does not insure the pro- perty, but it does 'insure the correct- ness of the judgment of the Ameri- can company in accepting the busi-| ness; and backs its judgment with] good British gold. From insuring ships the operations| of these underwriters came to cover | every known hazard. Recently the | insurance of an alligator pear tree | | in California for $20,000 against fire | and frost was thought worthy of} mention in a United States Govern- ment report. The tree was known | to have netted its owner $3,000 in| | one pear. Queered the Queen, Many stories have been told of the blunt and truculent manners of Dr. Temple, the famous archbishop of | Canterbury. The following is related by Alfred Capper in his book of rem- iniscences. Mr. Capper vouches for the truth of the story, as he heard | it related by the servant who stood | behind Queen Victoria on the occa sion of the incident, Her Majesty sat the archbishop of Canterbury, the | gruff and grumpy Dr. Temple, on! one side and on the other side Dr. Randall Davidson, who was then bi shop of Winchester. Her Majesty turned toward a certain colonial bi- | shop who was seated next to the archbishop of Canterbury and said, "You know, Dr. So-and-so, 1 can well remember you preaching at Bal- | moral twenty-two years ago." Thé bisiop of Winchester then | said, "Really, your Majesty, your mémory is marvelous, absolutely 'mi: rac ulous!" "Not at all," snarled Dr. Temple in his gruffest tones.
