George Wells Says
They Won't Steal
Any More Machines
He Remarked Today That He
Has a Machine Which Will
Have All Thieves Crazy

Automobile thieves will not have
very pleasant time in Honolulu IN the
future if the sale of the Auto Inert
Signal continues. This device is one
which not only catches the thief in the
act, but also enables anyone at any
time to recognize the thief
The device Is made from specially
heat-treated metal with pointed
hump or spike on the top. This may
not be the way that 1t is advertised,
but ii looks like It. George Wells or
the Royal Hawaiian Garage has the
territorial agency, and he takes more
time boosting the little instrument OF
protection than he does his Stanley,
Cole and other cars.
The theft signal locks around the
front wheel, and there is a different
key for every lock- When Mr.. Jimmy
Valentine comes along and starts to
drive the car away the spike makes
hole in the pavement and makes
loud racket. According to Mr.. Wells
the company will sell the affair VIII
give 500 to anyone who catches a
thief and has him arrested. In this
way the poor thief hasn't a look in.
Mr.. Wells has about million and
twenty reasons why the device Is a
good one. Not caring to so that high
the following are enumerated: |. It
attracts attention when one is driv.
ing. 2. With the spike on a car the
thief cannot drive fast. g. It cannot
be broken. 4. The public knows that
there is something wrong if man
drives the car with the device on the
wheel. 5. There is a 500 reward for
capture. 6. There can be no excuse
for Joy riding. z. The thief is wise
that he can't get gay. s. George Wells
SAYS it is good. The other million
and twelve reasons have been forgot

In checking up on this statement
Stanton Wyatt, head of the insurance
department Of the Schuman Carriage
Company. was interviewed. Mr.. Wyatt
said that out of 80 claims paid during
the present year, % claims were for
accidents on the Schofield road.
Mr.. Wyatt said that his company
had paid out a total Of $6,349 during
the year to owners who had suffered
through losses All Of the accidents
were collisions with the exception OF
one fire and two thefts. He took from
his book list Of accidents which had
occurred on the Schofield road during
a certain period. The dates were Oct.

Wyatt said that every claim which
was presented had been paid.

Those who use the road, report

brought forcibly to my attention as we

Mr. Motorist, when you are driving
through craters on King street near
Pawaa junction, make an effort to
count the real bad holes to be found
there. You will at least have real
job to do. And this applies not only
to King street, but most of the other
well travelled roads in the city Of Ho

Those who failed to contribut

Such men forget that the best

stay at home with their loved

Can they look their fellow man

If you are not a parasite, then
subscribe! No matter what
