-or if his witnesses crises bite of Worst Problems. Transports: tlon Companies Have to Grapple Claims Agent Forest, of the Toronto Railway Company, had a long ex- perience as policeman and detective _On the Toronto force. but a few .‘months after leaving the city's ser- ‘vice he remarked that he never know ?What crime was until he was called ’upon to deal with claims against the I‘ll-“Way company. He declared that there was a small coterle of lawyers and physicians who specialized in Ila-mags suits against the company; gambled on the chances of success,; Jand agreed to take no payment for; their services to their clients in ‘t'h‘e; event of failure. Transportation cor-' porations all over the world and ac‘: cident insurance companies have re: cognlzed for many years that one of the most serious problems they are called on to grapple with is that of- the“ fake" claim. So numerous are ‘fake" claims that these corOporations are inclined to be suspicious of every claim, and as a mistake the ground. that every claim is exaggerated, if not wholly fraudulent. until the contrary is proved. ‘, These corporations have found their best’means of protection in the index Bureau, which is a sort of Who's Who of accident impostors, and doo- tors and medical men who asist them in making their claims. When an ac- cident Occurs that a claims agent has any reason to suppose is fraudulent or exaggerated, he reports it to‘ the Central Bureau, giving all detaiis of the accident, and the name and any 2other information he is possessed of 'conceming the persons afiected. The expert at the Central Bureau then hunts through the statistics to find out it the victim of a previous accident, have previously ciflciated in a similar capacity. libs is able to find that they have'he sends the information backto the claims agent interested. It is very useful material in the hands of the lawyer at the trial, if. indeed, the case comes to trial, for he may be able to show that the ciaimaut has an ominous rtcord of former accidents, or that he has been a witness of similar acci- dents on previous occasions. It is pos- SIble, of course. for a. man to receive injuries every month for years, and to be entitled to compensation for them all. but a jury is inclined to be- live that a man who has been in- jured two or three times has contrac- ted a bad habit, and usually tries to dicourage him by dismissing his action. - fO’zi NiNElY "YEARS Registrarshlp at Barrie in the Lount Family That Long Samuel Lount, Registrar of Deeds for Simcoe County. who died recently, came from a family that figured large ly in the history of that part of Ontario since the year 1811, when the late Gabriel Lount, grandfather of , libs deceased, settled just south of EHolland Landing. Samuel Lount, the Eeldest son and uncle of the late Mr. iLount did not become a regular land ; surveyor like his father and younger . brother, George, but was an expert woodsman, ranger and explorer of the great northern forests, and as such, assisted his brother with the surveys of much of the southern portion of the County of ,Simcoe. ‘In the course of time the elder Samuel Lount be- came one of the best known men of the country, ultimately, in 1834, be- ing elected one of the members of the Upper Canada Legislature for Simcoe County. The part he bore in the rebellion of ’37 and his subsequent execution is familiar to all readers of the histOry of that period. George Lount, father of the dead Registrar, was born in 1799, and be qualified as l _ a land surveyor. When Slmcoe COun- P , N ty was erected into a separate dls- ‘» 'trict in 1826 George Lount became its, first registrar.- He was the first posts master at Holland Landing and con: ducted a general trading store. In; 1864 he removed to Barrie, which had been made the county town. and held the position of- Registrar 0!: Deeds until the year 1873, a period; of almost half a centur)’. when he resigned. and was immediately sue. coeded by his son, Mr. Samuel‘Lount. Thus it will be seen, that the position has been held by the Lount family (father and son) for upwards 0t 90,‘ years. BELOW THE SALT ~.

Flavelie, of Lindsay, has an idea that a milk evaporating plant would be a good thing for the farmers of Vic- toria and incidently for the owners of the plant. He explained the proposition to a number here on Saturdaylust. The milk would be delivered at the railway station and conveyed to Lindsay in a refrigerator car. The plant would re- quire 40,000 lbs. of milk daily.â€"Bobcny- geon independent. NEW YORK POPULATION The recent census of New York has established that out of ‘a total popu- lation of 3,500,000 there are not mere than 737,447 re'al Americansâ€"that 15 to say, persons born in America of American parents. The rest are de- vided into 639,000 Germans, 595.210 Irish, 262,864 Austro-Hungarians, and son on. In the light of such figures, New York is in point of German popu- lation third in range as a German city; she is the greatest Irish city, and fourth Augtro-Hungarian city. 'As a German city, New York is only our passed by Berlin and Hamburg. New York is also a great Jewish centre, as its Hebrew population numbers 672,775. Warsaw, generally reckoned as the most Jewish town in Europe, has not more than 262,864 Jews. _. .__._.__. Go to Gould the Optician. All work fully guaranteed.
