Insure the Virginia State Insurance Association against rain during the week of any exhibition. I will meet in London and bet that it won't rain in Richmond.

Many American companies are at work to rival it. German marine insurance concerns have insured a portion of the British Isles' return cargo at a rate of 26 percent. In other words, they are not letting about four to one that the allies will not catch the supersubmarine. Considering the size of the ocean, these odds may seem rather short, but the owners of the cargo could hardly place a better bet. Lloyd's might take a bigger chance, but it would not be apt to bet against the home team.

It's rather rubbing it in on the police that an automobile and a bicyclist picked out Laurence and Franklin Streets as the point of their collision, when it is remembered that is the only corner in the whole of Richmond west of First where there is a traffic officer.
