LONDON.—It's a hundred to five tnat your next child won't be a twin and you can take out an insur- ance policy against it being a twin with 'mium of 20 per cent. Douglas Cox, Londcn insurance broker, is an authority on insurance £gainst twins, He takes the view that hus policy is one of the most logical, from an insurance man’s point cf view. For 5 pounds premium, paid six months prior to the expectant birth, a policy is issuable paying £100 in the event twins are born. Both children must live 24 hours under the provision <f the policy. Some premiums, depending upon the frequency of twins in the ancestors of the prospective parents, might be £3. Freak Bets Frowned On. Freak bets, often reported as having been placed through Liloyd's, Cox says, are generally but rumors, for the in- spection bureau of the world's largest insurance organization frowns on such policies and discourages their issuance. Lioyd's does not write any insurance but cnly brings together the brokers and those desiring insurance. Lloyd's busin-ss during the last three centuries has been principally marine, but of late other forms of insurance ‘are bulk- |- ing larger in the annual turnover. Lloyd's, whose principal ‘marine busi- | * ness now is mainly distributing infor- mation concerning ships, shipping and skippers, was started in the late seven- teenth century by Edward Lloyd, who ran a coffee house where mariners gathered to spin their yarns. Originally the old timers came to Lloyd's to meet their pals and to swap information con- ce! trade routes and conditions in gener: BETTER VALUES -~~~ BETTER TERMS -~~~ BETTER SERVICE FREE Room:-size R With Any Suite Are you under the impression that hen vou've got a sur- 3 Come and see these amine them.

Sensing & demand for the service, Lioyd first put up a blackboard where interesting items were written. Then he established his Lloyd's Shipping News, probably the second oldest paper in England, which has been superseded by the gigantic Lloyd's Register, con- taining the records cf thousands of ships and a daily bulletin.
