Frightened Of Ghosts'
Many frank policies are taken out in connection with the insurance of property.

Owners of property near St. Paul's took out similar insurances when the dome was found to be unsafe a few years age.
There is said to be a man living in Cornwall who is so frightened of ghosts that he insured himself against seeing one, fearing that it | might frighten him to death.
Even the Loch Ness monster bas been the subject of an insurance policy: It was taken out by Mr. Bertram Mills to cover the con- tingency of the monster being caught and delivered alive to his circus, Mr. Mills having offered u reward of £20,000 to anyone who could accomplish this,

CHEVROLET INTRODUCES IN THE 1936 MODEL THE
SELF-ENERGIZING HYDRAULIC BRAKES
A newly perfected braking system of the finest type ever offered in a car of the low-priced field.
Unlike the plain unreliable type of hydraulic brakes found in several makes of cars Chevrolet's brakes are "self- energizing"—which means that much of the energy required for braking purposes is developed by the brakes themselves. As a result, stopping is easier and only a light pedal pressure is necessary to bring the car to a sure smooth halt,
