MOST VALUED MAN

INSURED FOR MILLIONS

• There is at least ono man in the world whose little linger is worth more than tho whole estate and expectations of most of us put together. Paderowski, whose hands are insured for £.12,000, once injured a little finger, and received £1000. Kubelik's fingers are insured for £4500. The man whose life is most highly valued —from an insurance point of view, at any rate, is Mr. John C. Martin, vice-president of the Curtis-Martin Newspapers, Incorporated, of Philadelphia. Policies on Mb life are worth moro than" £.1,900,000. Mr. Rodman Wanamaker, the head of a great chain of stores in America, who died last'year, was said to bo insurod for £1,500,000. Then tho most precious legs belong to Mistinguette, "tho Queen of the Moulin Houge." They are insured for £200.000. Little Tick's feet were insured, and conjurors, cricketers, and otkers often take precautions agaiust suffering any professional handicaps. Charlio Chaplin has appealed to tho United States Court of Appeal to insure that his baggy trousers, ill-fitting shoos, shrunken coat, and Hittlc stick are copyright. It has been decided that they must not bo copied. Many peoplo just now have insured against having bad weather on their holiday, and less opulent fathers often tako out a policy against the somewhat doubtful joy of being presented with twins.
