KEEP TAB ON CARS
! TO PREVENT THEFT
All Garages Must Keep Records Of
Machines In Order to
Help Catch Auto
Randita
COMPLETE DESCRIPTIONS
These Arc Required Now and Make
1t Easier to Check Up
When Autos Are
Misslno.
COMPLETE DESCRIPTIONS

A law which will be hailed with
delight by police authorities and
| garage men throughout the state was
enacted in the thirty-seventh general
assembly.
| Heretofore garage owners, at least
the majority Of them, made no record
of the cars placed in their buildings
for transient or dead storage or for
repairs, outside of a possible person
to whom credit was to be given. As
a result when the police authorities
received report Of the theft Of a
car they would have to make tho
rounds Of the garages and trust to
the memory Of employees to ascertain
whether or not a car answering the
description Of the stolen one had
been seen. Only meagre descriptions
could be furnished to the police Of
other towns and because there are SO
many cars which are similar In ap-
pearance, the chances for an early
capture of the culprits were slight.
Must Carry Complete Record.
The new law changes all of this for
It explicitly states that every per
son, firm. association, corporation, or
w koi taSA okAAh opSl dtlA6 q PuoAlC
garage in Iowa must keep for pub
lie inspection q record Of the license
number and engine number of ell
motor vehicles taken in or held in
charge by the garage for the pur-
pose Of rental, livery, selling, or re-
pairs. This record must also contain
the name and address of the person
delivering or taking the car to the
garage. The alteration or oblitera-
ton Of the engine number will be
considered as evidence of larceny OF
the machine and on such a discovery
the proprietor or employees Of the
garage must Immediately notify the
proper authorities and hold the car
for twenty-four hours, or until a
thorough investigation is made.
This record need not be made the
second time the same car and person
come to the garage, and when the
driver is personally known to the
garage proprietor or employees.
1t is said that more than 10000
motor cars are being operated in
Iowa without the license fees hav-
ing been paid by owners. With the
garages keeping a close check on all
machines which may be reported to
the state authorities, 1t is believed
that the evil may be lessened to a
great extent.

How TO Test Chickens.

A reliable method of giving fowls
the tubcrculin test has been perfect
ed. The test consists of injecting
special tubcrculin into the comb or
wattles of the chicken. If the fowl
is tuberculosis, even in the slightest
degree, a swelling or discoloratioR
will occur at the point of injection
at the end of twenty-four hours or a
little later. This is called a positive
tuberculin reaction and is certain
evidence that tuberculosis is affect
ing some organ of the birds body.
The most effective way to eliminate
tuberculosis from the flock of hens
is to apply this test to all birds on
the place and then kill off all remain
ing fowls. Move the non-reactors to
a new place on the farm and thor
oughly clean and disinfect the old
luarters.-Jamcs Dryden.
