the news. thus letting others know such men sui exist
Therefore | am led to tell you of an experience l had yester-
day in a cigar store:
/ bought an old-fashoned scent cigar for a dime

me Is cents in change.
Haven't you made a mistake ?" I asked. Aren't you
cheating yourself?
II don't believe So" he answered. "You gave me a
quarter, the price of the cigar is 10 cents, the change is
Is cents"
"Brt," l said, 81 lighted it"
"What has that got to do with it," he asked.
"Wel, you haven't charged anything for the light"
"No,' said he, "the light is free. And if your cigar
goes out you are welcome to come back and get another
without charge"
Such men as he are entitled to great praise.-JIMMY X.

Auto Thieves

Over 700 automobiles have been stolen in Seattle since
January 1, 1918, according to figures compiled by Pacific
coast automobile underwriters conference Investigators.
Of these, it is claimed that the majority are appro-
priated by youths between the ages Of II and q, for the
purpose of ~joy-riding. A machine, in numerous instances
a very valuable machine, is stolen if left u%nguarded for a
minute, and later found roughly used and in some cases
totally wrecked. When the offenders are captured, the
maximum sentence is 80 days in Jail and 500 fine. The
maximum sentence is seldom given.
In San Francisco, it is a felony to steal an auto, pun
ishable by a maximum sentence of two years. In Vancou-
yer, B. c., the minimum sentence for auto thefts is six
months. Seattle and vicinity should be protected for auto
owners by adequate legislation.
In the present war situation, it is necessary to eliminate
as many needless repairs as possible. A more vigorous
prosecution of auto thieves would relieve, to a considerable
extent, the man-power of auto mechanics.
Evidently the British are in as large a hurry to get
to Berlin as ne are.
