HOW TO FOIL THE
MOTOR CAR THIEF
Expert Tells of Ways and
Means to Overcome Grim
inal Cleverness.

There are upward OF 100000 motor
cars stolen in this country in the course
OF a year. Rapidly as the number of
cars has increased during the past four
years, the number OF thefts has in
creased still more rapidly. showing that
this industry" Is growing by leaps and
bounds. In fact 1t Is not too much to
say that the car stealing problem has
reached a condition OF crisis. Something
has got TO be done to deal with Il in q
broader way than has ever been Mt
tempted. As matter of fact the in
sursnce companies are threatening q
material increase In premiums II the
condition Is allowed TO continue.
Now It happens that the individual
car owner can do something toward
solving the problem. though he cannot
do everything that must be done TO
eliminate stealing OF oars. We sliaIl -tf-yy-
TO explain briefly what the car owner
can do to protect himself.
In the first place car thefts may be
divided into two distinct classes, In one
of which IL placed the work OF the pro-
fessional automobile thief, while in the
other 10 the activity OF the so-called
10Y rider" the boy or man who seizes
an unguarded car TO use for his own
pleasure or convenience.

has set his mind. There are n number
OF locks OF different types. however,
which will foil the Joy rider and this is

frequently asked regarding the Essex,
the car whose wonderful performances
have been astonishing thousands OF per
sons in all parts OF the country says
Harry S. Houpt president OF the Hud-
son Motor Car Company Of New York.
THE answer 10 to be found In the
design OF the motor. which although
only twenty mine inches In length over
all develops a maximum OF 5s horse
power. The small dimensions yield ex-
traordinary horse power because OF the
unique design OF the gas passages and
combustion chamber.
THE exhaust valves and passages
are located at the side OF the motor
and are cooled by the inrushing water.
The Intake manifold carrying the
carbureter is bolLed directly to the head
az the cylinder and the passages are
given downward slope from the
carbureter through the valves. Perfect
combustion is thus assured, since tho
combination of gravity flow OF the mix

that the National Automobile Chamber
OF Commerce, the Society of Automotlve
Engineers and the Insurance Labora-
tories have united In an effort to deal
with the evil. After mature investiga-
ton these united bodies have decided
that locking devices OF proper design
and construction are adequate 10 curb
the Joy rider Through a technical com
mittce they are testing locks submitted
TO them and are approving such as APP
pear TO be efficient for the work in hand.
AS result OF their Investigations the
above mentioned authorities have come
to the conclusion that four types OF
locking devices meet the need of the
situation. The first type mentioned 10
the transmission lock, which locks the
gearshlft in a set position, making II
impossible to operate the mechanism
until this has been released This type
OF lock In not applicable TO the Ford and
to certain other cars.
The second type is the steering system
lock- This type Is applied TO the steer
Ing wheel or steering column. In some
cases II operates to release tho steering
wheel so that It swings around free
from tho column. making 1t impossible
to steer the car. In other cases the
wheels are locked In ono position so
that the car cannot be guided out OF the
straight path.
Other types of locks operate on the
fuel and ignition systems. These locks
shut of the gasolene or switch on the
ignition as the case may be.

The Times Square Auto Supply Com
pany. which was founded over fourteen
years ago by Jesse Froehlich. has an
nounced new wholesale policy. This
concern now operates twenty one
branches in eighteen leading cities in the
United States. 1t is known as the
worlds largest auto supply house. Their
new wholesale policy as outlined by
President Jesse Froehlich permits any
dealer or garage man to represent this
house and sell Times Square Auto Sup
ply Company goods mt the same prices
as they are sold in the FIRMS own retail
stores. This means that any automobile
owner In any part OF the United States
can buy Times Square Auto Supply Com
pany goods locally through any auto
supply dealer who displays the Timesco
Dealer Sign.
The Times Square Auto Supply Com
pany has long been known for selling auto
supplies at fair prices. In the fourteen
years they have been In business they
have served over 1000. 900 motorists and
they are known TO practically every au-
tomoblle owner in the United States,
Through their new wholesale policy,
any local auto supply dealer or garage
man in any town in the United States
can buy his goods at Wholesale from the
Times Square Auto Supply Company at
q price that will enable him to sell his
goods at retail at the same fair prices
as established by the Times Square
Auto supply Company in their own re-
tail stores.
The dealer who buys from the Times

beforehand They propose that the motor
car shall be put on the same plano with
real estate. When a car issues from the
factory. its purchaser receives a deed OF
ownership. which will be registered. just
as a realty deed Is registered. This deed
stays with the car throughout its life,
and the vehicle cannot be sold without
the deeds being duly executed TO the nov
purchaser. Under these circumstances,
It would do the profess onal thief not the
slightest good to steal a car. because he
would not be able TO offer n clear title
with II and consequently could not find
purchaser. Thus the entire incentive
to steal motor cars for future sale Is re-
moved at one fell swoop
or course. much remains to be worked
out In connection with this latter plan.
1t will be necessary to get all the States
to pass similar statutes. a matter which
requires time. Nevertheless, this is the
first hint OF real solution OF the critical
problem Of automobile theft, that We
have had. In the meantime, the car
owner can protect himself TO a consid-
cradle degree by installing a locking
device OF approved design and construc-
ton.
