A correspondent complains: “A few people I know
are careless about hanging up the receiver after fin-
ishing a telephone conversation. Don’t they realize
that slamming the receiver down makes an un-
pleasant noise in the other telephone?”
Slamming the receiver is as discourteous as slam-
ming the door. Always hang up gently as a part-
ing, thoughtful gesture. And when you hang up
be careful to replace the receiver securely in its
proper place. A receiver off the hook means that
no calls can get through to your telephone.

A shining example of the cleanliness of
electric cooking is the bright, brand-new look that
stays with your pots and pans. Little or no scrub-
bing is needed because there is no soot to deposit
on cooking vessels ... in fact, this complete
absence of soot makes it easy to keep the entire
kitchen clean. Electric cooking is modern cooking
... it’s cool, it’s safe, it’s economical. Cooking elec-
trically costs less than 1^ per person per meal.

lOne of the most familiar types
of contracts is the insurance pol-
icy, as nearly everyone carries
some sort of insurance protection.
Yet, few people take the trouble
to read their policies and lawyers
have to answer many questions
regarding insurance generally.
Here is a problem frequently
.presented: “I have a hospitaliza-
tion insurance policy. Will the
company pay all my hospital bills
if I become ill?
It may or may not. Insurance
is a contract between the insur-
ance company and the policy hold-
er. In the usual contract the
policy holder agrees to pay a cer-
tain sum of money for the policy
of insurance, and the insurance
company agrees that should the
policy holder incur hospital ex-
penses that the insurance com-
pany will make payment to the
policy holder of stated sums, as
set out in the policy of insurance.
The insurance policy itself must
state Ithe complete contract be-
tween the parties. The oral state-
ments of agents not in harmony
with the policy are not binding on
may not sue the insurance com-
pany which carries insurance on
the other fellows car to protect
him from suits in case of his neg-
ligence. You must look to the
owner or driver of the other ve-
hicle for your damages. Upon
his becoming liable to pay . those
damages to you, then he in turn
looks to the insurance company to
make the settlement for him, or to
reimburse him for the settlement
which he has made.
If the case goes to trial before
the jury, even though you may
know that the other party carries
insurance, if there arises any dis-
cussion of the fact that insurance
is carried by the other party, then
the courts have held that it is the
duty of the trial judge to declare
a mistrial.
This means that you will have
to start all over again and try
your case from the beginning be-
fore the jury, at a later date.
Your case is not dismissed, and
you do not lose your rights to be
heard on your case because of the
word “insurance” coming into the
case, but it does mean that the
trial then in progress must be dis-
missed and you must start all
over again before a new and dif-
ferent jury.
The theory of the appellate
courts is that the mere introduc-
tion of any evidence or any tes-
timdny to the effect that there is
an insurance company involved in
any way in the case, is highly pre-
judicial to the Defendant and his
cause of action.
The appellate courts further
say that it is reversible error,
that is, such error as will set aside
the findings of the jury, if the
jury is retiring to consider their
verdict discuss whether or not
either or both of the parties
might or might not have insur-
ance to back them up or protect
them.
