The stealing of automobiles has increased to alarm

taken to check this of auto stealing.
1t is evident that locks do not answer the purpose

thieves fully acquainted with the various mechansms
OF and adopts in getting started by manpu

1t has been suggested that device that would prevent
the front wheels from turning might prove effective but
undoubtedly the cleverer type of auto thieves would find
a way to get around this.
Severe punishment of every thief caught would do
more to check the evil than any other thing

II caught receives short workhouse sentence if it is

Let steal ST 900 in either property money and
he probably gets penal sentence of from two to three
years and serves it.
One of the reasons for this strange condition is that
great nearly always brought bear court to
get for the prisoner communication of sentence discharge
Many believe that there exists an organized band of
auto thieves This view is strengthened by the small per-
centage of recovered cars.
step forward would be the trial of all offenders by
one judge, who would Immediately recognize the offender
if he appeared before him second third time The pro-
posed Traffic Court would be good place for the trial of

that might have the germ of idea that would provide

DON'T LEAVE YOUR KEY IN THE LOCK

Good clutch operation means there
Is little waste OF power in transmits
sion 1t may mean an appreciable
saving in fuel. and certainly II affords
protection to the other power trans
hitting members such as transmission
bearings and gears, propeller shaft
and universals, and the rear axle. A
clutch that takes hold with a jerk
puts a tremendous strain on all the
parts back OF it. A clutch that slipe
when fully engaged wastes power
and wears itself out quickly. A
clutch that spins for some time after
being released makes gear shifting
difficult. Breakage OF q driving
pinion may be a direct result OF
severe and sudden overload applied
weeks before because OF a grabbing
clutch.

Disc clutches appear in a variety

TO the viscosity OF the mixture used.
Half lubricating oil and half kero-
sene usually is recommended. but the
of these will vary with
the season Of the year. The plate
clutch usually uses one fabric plate
and one unfaced plate and the treat
ment is the same as for brake lining.
