BOYS STEAL BUGGY:
RUN AMUCK In CITY
Two Had Just Been Released
From Jail for Burglary-Out-
run Pursuing Automobile.

Three boys who had stolen horse
and buggy belonging to Chris Hannah,
a farmer living west of the city, were
chased through the streets of,the West
End late Sunday evening by William
Brunkhorst, who followed the youths
in his high-powered car. He was not
able to apprehend the boys, as they
evaded him by driving over vacant
lots that were impossible for the car.
Several automobiles joined in the
chase, and the shouts of those who
saw the boys race through the streets,
added to the excitement. Several
times, witnesses said, the trio narrow
y escaped a collision with automobiles
and finally deceived their pursuers by
cutting through the school yard of the
Broadway School. Mr.. Brunkhorst,
who had followed the boys, drove
around the school yard, into the Jack
son road, but lost sight, Of the thieves
The outfit was later recovered in the
lumber yard of the Union Lumber Co.
Two of the youths in the buggy
were recognized as Paul Biggs and
Earl McGhee, the name of the third
could not be learned by the police. The
boys are still at large.
These boys were tried last week in
Juvenile Court on a charge of bur-
glary and larceny. After Circuit Judge
Kelly, who acted as Juvenile Court
Judge, had given them a severe lee
lure they were released from custody
Of the court, but ordered to report to
the Judge Monday afternoon.
The NcGhee and Biggs boys had
been freed from Jail Sunday evening
shortly before dusk. They had been
arrested after they had attempted to
break into the fruit store of j. w.
Flanagan. They were captured by Al
Dittlinger, who turned them over 20
the police.
Three other stores were robbed Sum-
day afternoon and evening, and the
police believe that the same boys are
implicated in all these burglaries. An
attempt was made to force the rear
door of the secondhand store of Cole
Il klmbel, on South Spanish street
and also the Bee Store Co. In neither
place did the thieves get anything. 1t
is believed they were frightened away
by the timely appearance of Police
man Cy Freeman. The meat market
conducted by Mueller Bros. on Broad
way was also entered Sunday. and
from all indications the same lads
were cOnencted with this robbery.
Many who saw the boys driving
the streets Sunday evening
believed at first the horse had run
away, and several times citizens made
an effort to stop the animal. 1t was
seen, however, that one was holding
the lines, while the other boys were
beating the horse with the whip as
they raced through the streets of the
West End.
Hannah, who owned the outfit, had |
left the horse and buggy near the |
Courthouse Park. They had gone to |
the public service held there Sunday
evening. The boys watched the owner |
and his wife, and when they saw them
enter the park, climbed into the buggy |
and drove off.

AUTO RIGHTS ON STREETS.

Speaking broadly, it may be stated
that Il municipality is charged with the
duty of keeping its streets in a reason
ably safe condition for the passage of
vehicles. And there is no exception
IN the application of this rule when
applied in automobiles. Into the limbo
of the past has gone the day when the
automobile was considered little better
than nuisance, and the driver there

Shortage Of CARS
WAS NO. HtI|ND ! \
Despite Drawbacks in Trans
portation, Hupp Motor Car
Corporation Ships More
Cars Than Year Ago.
DIFFICULT TO KEEP
PACE WITH ORDERS

BY standing an almost unbelievably
freight car shortage and material mar
ket which reached its most acute point
in January and February, the Hupp
Motor Car corporation succeeded in
producing and shipping more cars this
year than even during the record
cording to a statement just made by
c. u. Hastings, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the corporation.
"As I view the motor car situation
at present, it is one of production and
shipping said Mr.. Hastings. Even
with our increased production, orders
for immediate shipment have piled up
on us and the month Of March finds
us with orders for nearly 1000 cars
for immediate delivery. These orders
the freight car situation will allow,
but each day finds orders piling up
still more. The breaking IN of winter
weather will aid us gqreatly in getting
machines to the distributing points. as
they can be driven overland in great
or numbers. The opening Of lake trn
fc next month will also be Of great
benefit.
"The material market continues to be
a source of trouble. From the time
the European war was well under way
the prices Of practically all materials
used in making motor cars. as well as
all other manufactured articles. have
been constantly on the increase. At
first this condition was received with
much concern by those in the indus
try, but after several rapid advances in
the prices of foodstuffs, textiles. metal
and all manufacturing materials, the
whole situation was taken more as a
matter of course. AS a matter of fact,
during the last winter, prices of parts
and materials, like most necessities,
have increased more often than before,
although not as much has been said
about the advance of raw materials as
about the increasing costs of food and
clothing. This was because price in

TELLS PROPER WAY
FOR FITTING TIRE

Since the almost universal use of
the one piece transversely split tire
rims, as used on most Of the modern
cars, the repair men in general have
often commented upon the large num-
Der of tubes that were being presented
to them for repairs because of a small
hole within the radius of an inch or
two of the valve stems.
An official of the Fisk Rubber COM
pany says it is quite common practice
for a motorist, in applying a tube and
casing to the rim, to push the tube
valve stems through the hole in the
rim and then pull the stem through as
far as possible. The beads of the
casing are then properly seated on the
rim and it is locked and the air pres
sure put in the tube for initiating,
BY pulling the valve stem all the
way through in the manner above men
toned. the valve spreader on the tube
is tilted up on the casing bead in such
manner that the portion of the tube
is pinched between the spreader and
the bead and as soon as air is applied
the tube under pressure endeavors to
loosen itself from the pinch between
the spreader and beads. The result Is
q small hole in the tube.
Often the valve stem does not point
straight and the motorist is endeavor-
ing to straighten it, pinches the tube as
mentioned above.
To avoid pinching tube in this
way the motorist should proceed as
follows:
Place the tube in the casing, inflat,
the tube with just enough air to rount
it out so as to take on the shape O
the casing, apply casing to rim by put
ting valve stem through the hole il
the rim, but do not pull it through, jus
stick the end through the hole. If i
comes through any further push it bach
so that when you place the tire OF
the rim the valve stem spreader will
| be clear of the tire beads and avoi,
plnching the tube at this point. TIL
| main point in trying to avoid pinch
| Ing tho tube is to make sure that tn
valve stem is pushed back as far n
possible when applying the casing /,
the rim.

very necessary and valuable. The eX-
perience reported of the contending
forces on the other side of the ocean
demonstrates that motorcycle forces
can and must be used for service which
would be less satisfactorily performed
by any other branch of the service"
Captain Davis, assistant quarter
master in charge of the entire south
ern district, in a recent interview said
of the motorcycle forces on the Mex
lean border:
Motorcycles have proved very sat
isfactory in service on the border. All
of the officers want them and il war
should come we will have to have
many more of them"
With these Endorsements it is be-
lieved that it will not be difficult to
interest the riders to form local or
CARNATIONS so that they will at least
be partially prepared should their
country need them.
