Considerable interest was displayed
in the Firestone Tire and Rubber Com

through Washington on Monday on it's
5.00o-mile road test from Akron. Ohio.
The two giant trucks, the only ones
to. make the entire run from Akron to

War, State and Navy Department.
Among these officers were Brig. Gen.
Charles Drake, Col. c. E. Speaks and
Capts. c. w. Hoover and w. d. Baker,
all of the Motor Transport Corps
One of the trucks was equipped with
pneumatic and the other with solid

out change.
A careful record Of the amount of
OIL, gas. air and extras used on the
trip had been kept in order to demon

Other Types of Locks.

Other types of locks operate on the
fuel and ignition systems These locks
shut off the gasoline or switch off the
ignition as the case may be. 1t is GER
tain that the insurance companies are
going to add a certain amount to the
premium on theft policies for cars
that are not protected by locking
devices of some sort In fact. il is
understood that SIS per year is to be
the addition to the present premium
in these cases. That can be saved
by the car owners putting on lock-
ing device. but it is important to note
that>this device must be the one that
has,sbeen approved by the insurance
authorities. A mistake here may cost
the motorist SIS per year. so look out.
Very different fs the condition as re-
CARDS the operation of the profess
sional automobile thief. No lock can
foil this gentleman when he makes
up his mind to have certain car
One of the efficient looking devices
which has been considered by experts
Will delay even the professional but
it cannot stop him permanently How
ever. even the delay justifies the use
of the lock. quite outside the real
protection it gives against the Joy
rider.
Dealing With Expert Thieves.
To deal with this expert thief. there
fore. the insurance and automobile
investigators propose to remove the
incentive for the theft, thus prevent
ing 1t beforehand. They prooose that
the motor car shall be put on the same
plane with real estate. When the car
issues from the factory, it's purchaser
receives q deed of ownership, which
will be registered just as realty
deed Is registered This deed stays
with the car throughout it's life, and
.the vehicle cannot be sold without the
deeds being duly executed to the
new purchaser.
Under these circumstances it would
do the professional thief not the
slightest good to steal a car. because
he would not be able to offer a clear
title with IT and consequently coul6
not find a purchaser.
Much remains to be worked out with
this latter plan. 1t will be necessary
to get all the states to pass similar
statutes, which requires time. Never
theless, this Is the first hint of q real
solution of the critical problem of au.
tomobfle theft. In the meantime, the
car owner can protect himself to 2
considerable degree by installing 9
locking device of approved design
and construction.

Such a method only stirs up the grit
