Chandler Motor company throughout

examined the inner tube Of the strange
tire and found that with one vulcaniz-
ing he would have better tube than
the one that was stolen. Probably the
next time that thief runs across this
mans car he will hesitate before sub
shutting another tire.
But these are rare cases. and the
motorist is generally the helpless vic
tim of the ruthless tire bandit. Pass
a law making it felony to receive or
dispose of tires that do not bear the
serial numbers, and the community
will notice decided let up in the raw
ages of the tire crook.
Another unusual practise which the
ex.tire and auto bandit has resorted
to since gasoline has awaited in price
is the stealing Of the fuel from autos
standing along the street curbs.. II
you See a suspicious looking person
filling a gasoline tank of a car stand
ing alongside the curb, take second
look. The thieves have resorted to
science in their new depredations-
they have utilized the principle of the
syphon. By syphoning the gasoline
out of the tanks in the rear OF stand
ing machines, the bandits are able to
secure many gallons Of the now-pre-
cious fluid. While this practise has
not come into general use among the
motor crooks in Honolulu, it is best
to be forewarned and be on the look
out to nip the criminal before he
blossoms out into an epidemic.
The theft of tools is still a common
occurrance, but not nearly so expen-
sive as losing tires. The insurance
companies, police and motorists should
get together and have an ordinance
passed regulating the sale OF tires.
Send a man to jail II he sells or buys a
tire that does not carry the factory
serial number. The crook will lose his
market and his nerve, and the fire.
Quent reports of another tire stole"
will have become as unfamiliar as the
Egyptian language.

Believes Conditions Favor
able; Likes Hawaii

z. N. Benson, head OF the San Fran
cisco branch Of the Michelin Tire Co,
is an optimist. He carries about an
air of having enjoyed his meals, and
incidentally is more than pleased with
the condition Of business in Hawaii.
Mr.. Benson recently arrived In San
Francisco to take the place OF Mr..
Cummings who is In one Of the train
ing camps. 1t has always been the
policy OF the Michelin company to be
represented in Hawaii at least once
each year, and Mr.. Benson has been
very much represented. He has made
a trip to Hawaii, Kauai and Maui,
and is enthusiastic about conditions
on these islands.
Mr.. Benson believes in his family
enjoying the good things that may De
seen In Hawaii, and Mrs. Benson and
his daughter accompanied him to Ho-
nolula. They are located at the Sea.

opportunity TO enjoy the swimming.
One thing which impressed the San
Francisco representative very much
was Kilanea Upon his return from
the Big Island; Mr.. Benson immediate.
~ began to sing the praises of Hawaii,
and was so impressed with the scene
at Halemaumau that he said he
would pay another visit at the first
opportunity. -. r..
Mr.. Benson is well satisfied with
the volume of business on Hawaii, and
is also pleased with the showing made
by the company during the past year
on the mainland. He is not pessimistic
about the price Of tires soaring to un-
forbidden heights, and believes that
conditions will be favorable during the
next year.

furthermore" when the unsuspecting
bargain hunter learns that the pur-
chasing Of a tire that does not bear
the factory number Is an offense in
the eyes Of the law, he will confine his
dealings to legitimate firms.
The quickest solution to the tire
theft problem is the elimination Of the
market for the stolen goods. The best
way, and in fact the only way that
seems at all practical now to eliminate
the market, 10 to pass the law requir-
ing serial numbers on all tires that are
offered to the public. It is certain that
the tire crooks are receiving big mon
ely by stealing tires and selling them
to either unsuspecting buyers or un-
scrupulous dealers. If the thieves dis

because Of the law regarding serial
numbers, and refuses to buy the tires,

Is told Of one local man who left his

9y Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S--It was am nounced today that agents of the 1n ternal Revenue department of the gov ernment have reported wide spread evasions of the special twelve and one half per cent tax placed on munitions manufacturers.
 The total amount of the sums with held from the government by the eva sive processes of the manufacturers approximates seventeen million five hundred thousand dollars. As re- suit of their Investigations the revenue agents have already recovered more than ten million of the sum due
 The method by which the manufact- urers were enabled to evade the pay ment of the tax ig said to be of the most ingenious order and so contrived as to practically defy detection by any save the most expert investigators. The false entries regarding the manu- lecturers operations have been made so skillfully that they may easily be charged to unwilling errors.
