Governor Haines did not say a great

address, Il shall do all in my power,

Motor Car Stolen Every Day.

That New York is in real need Of a
lantes, similar to those which extermi-
mated the gangs of horse thieves in the
early days of the West, is evidenced
by the discovery that at least one mo-
tor car is stolen every day along Broad
way alone by gang of organized auto
bandits. This remarkable situation
was brought To light by a tour of the
indemnity companies which insure cars
and accessories. The operations of the
gangs have been so extensive, it was
learned that during the past year
nearly 100000 worth of machines
were stolen from the city streets.
From the companies it was ascer-
tanned that every day during the past
year an automobile has been stolen
The average original value of the cars
taken is placed at $500, although some
automobiles worth $4,000 or over have
been stolen. Unable to obtain any as
slstanee from the police. the insurance
companies are offering liberal rewards
for the arrest and conviction of the
thieves.
Investigation by the insurance com
panies has revealed that the cars are

Konold-Fred J. Konold, to give him
his full name-is an iceman. But he
is perhaps the most unique iceman
this sinful world has ever known. In
year of short crop and golden OPP
portunities konold's icehouses are
filled to capacity. Great chance f5r
Konold, isn't it? Well, see what he
does with it. konold will sell ice
this summer for b cents per hundred,
instead CT the 40 cents he charged last
year. The reason is that konOld has
plenty office. He can afford to sell
at the price and make money. For
this simple reason he cannot see justi-
fication for gousing his fellow humans
out of extra dollars. 1t is possible
that konold is not a good business
man. Certainly he is not Il good hog.
