STEALING CARS
FAST Becoming.
KNOWN AS GREAT
AMERICAN Crime
Local Authorities Get Many
Hundreds Notices of Stolen
Cars Each Month.

Very few people outside the police
authorities of the country have any
idea of the great number of automo-
biles that are stolen annually in the
United states. So enormous have
proportions OF this industry OF
crooks become during the last few
years that II is fast forcing itself to
the front as the great Ame-:cs- crime.
Literally hundreds of such machines
are being stolen every year. and II
seems that almost everybody havinS

property by dishonest means is en-
deavoring 10 possess himself OF car

In the ascendancy.
In the course OF an inquiry by a
Daily Record reporter at the sherifrs
Office here this morning. IL was
learned that during the last IL months
that more than 400 letters and post
cards asking that a lookout be kept
for stolen automobiles had been re-
ceived at the sherir's desk In each
instance a reward was offered for the
arrest and conviction OF the thieves
and the return of the missing car.
These requests come from all parts
of the country. some OF them from as
far east and south as New York and
Texas. and others from as far west as
Oregon and callfornis The rewards
are usually $50. one-haIf of II for the
arrest and conviction OF the thieves
and the remainder for the restoration
of the stolen car.
The greater number Of these miss
ing cars are Fords. for the reason that
such machines can be more easily
disguised than those OF other makes.
and are. In consequence. less readily
identified from the manufacturers de-
scriptson. Another cause for the IA
voritism of the Ford car among the
thieves Is the facility with which the
interchangeable parts OF its mechnn.

the country. Occasionally an auto
mobile os another and lsrrer make Is
stolen. but the danger Ct detection Is

ly. The Jesuit counter refor1na-
ton beginning with the second half
of the sixteenth century made their
lives a hell on earth, but the an
archy of Poland was at any rate
chance, while the legal discrimin-
atoms in force from Cape l'inisterre
to the mouth osst.,e Vistula river,
did not leave Them even such
chance.
All this is ancient history and
would have no more interest than
the edicts of expulsion from Eng
land in 1920 and from France in
1894, were the situation not acute
by the present. gttitude Of Polish
politicians. TIE American Polish
Society adopted the easiest method
of vindicatio1l calculated to calm the
public of cou1l@sx. which stands for
fair play. The gentlemen .decla,
that they have, no knowledge of
any pogroms, bat if such occurred,
they could only have been the work
of Bolsheviki. Tic Allies commits
sion, investigating the situation, has
not published an official report as
yet, but the Polish commission
which, in view of the situation
fishes to be first on the: spot,
claims that from November l to
December 5 OILY 131 deaths oc-
CURED in Lemberg hospitals, of
which fifty were due to wounds. 1t
is suspicious that this report makes
no mention Of those who died out
right, being murdered and not
brought to any hospital. The Lon

years was openly hostile to the
Jews, sent Israel Cohen, we'll
known author, to investigate con

The center of interest in the pres
ent status of Jewish history is held
by the nascent republic of Poland.
The reports. that reach us are ma
turally conflicting and uncertain as
to details: The one thing sure is
the fact of an unfriendly attitude,
due to the national chauvinism con-
comitant to the realization Of the
long cherished dream of independ-
ence, and terrible pogroms, though
the number of victims may have
been exaggerated. The grandilo-
quent talk of Polish leaders about
the traditional kindness of the Pol
ish people to the Jews, who, driven
from so many countries, found a
haven Of refuge. in Poland, reminds
us of the boast of Abimelech, the
king of the Philistines to Isaac,
when, after having driven him from
one place to another, until Isaac
found a place beyond the reach of
the Phihstine power, the latter Of
fered him a covenant, claiming they
have not touched him and doing
him nothing but good (Gen. 20, 29),
because they had not killed him.
The real facts are these. The
Jews, driven from western Europe
at frequent intervals since the cru
sades and especially since the hf-
teenth century, migrated to Poland,
which was sparsely settled coun-
try without middle class Of mer-
chants and mechanics, and there
they supplied a need, assisted in
their search for a place Of abode by
the greed Of the Polish nohles, V no,
practically independent of the
crown, exploited them directly and
through them the peasants Indirect

ditions. This report, SO far only
received in excerpts in the Yiddish
press, tells a horrifying story Of
murders, assaults, robberies and
most fiendish cruelties. AS an il
lustration of the numerous acts of
brutality the following facts may be
quoted. Soldiers amused them
selves by throwing their guns into a
river and forcing Jews whom they
captured to walk into the icy water
to fetch these guns. Among the vic
tins of this sport was an old
woman of Y. Others imprisoned a
young girl who was stripped Of all
her clothing, beat her into insensi-
bility and raped her. Jan Paderew-
ski is quite indignant at the. publica-
ton Of these reports, which he de-
clares to be falsehoods.- Naturally
so, but the Times, not at all pref
udiced in favor of the Jews, would
not print such report without
carefully weighing the reliability of
the man who furnished it. A cable
message was sent to President Will
son, asking him to put an end to
these atrocities, and it is claimed
that message to this effect was sent
to the Polish provisional govern
ment on December 4, so that we
may expect. to hear the truth short
ly: Other reports give much larger
figures. A refugee from Lemberg
who arrived in Paris told the repre-
sentative of the New York Tog that
1900 Jews were burned in the Lem
berg synagogue. and not less than
5000 perished during the Novem-
Der pogroms. Even Paderewski
should credit us with sincere ad-
herence to Useda's ethical princi-
pies.
Reports from other places con-
tinue to reach us, Wloclawek, Lodz,
Kielce, Wieliczka, Lublin, etc, are
mentioned as theatres Of murder,
pillage and brutal assaults. Man

A penny saved is penny earned
is good, sound sense, but the diff
Guilty seems to be in finding a place
to do the saving.
The cheapness of an article, be it
food OF be 1t clothing does not neces-
sartly stamp it an economy. Some
things are dear at any price.
Right now I'm thinking about meats.
In our town the very cheapest boil
ing piece of beef is Is cents a pound,
mostly bone. Now II my family
would not eat boiled meat and all |
could get out of that boiling piece
was soup stock, 1 would not be saw
ing a penny by buying 1t. Whereas
q much more expensive smidge would
be the true economy.

at the economy problem and each
housekeeper has to work 1t out for her
own individual case. A woman en-
dowed with Yankee thrift" finds II
much simpler than her southern or

Mutton Is disliked by many people
on account of the strong flavor. This
is greatly overcome by removing the
pink skin and trimming off super
fluous fat. If the outside skin comes
off easily the meat Is quite sure to

NEW YORK, Oct. 25-Up from the
days Of leather jenkins and later ar
NOR plate Fashion has wrought the
lines Of the French curiasse. The
blouse sketched today is a slipover
following these lines in strict simple
ty. ThJ rich HUGS Of crimson brocade
the material from which the blouse
has been shaped, make further trim
ming unnecessary
With plain sleeves ended with a
straight edge coat the three-quarter
length, and simple binding Of plain
material rounding the opening at the
thr7at, the curasse effect is complet-
ed by the almost abrupt ending few
inches below the waist line.
smartness is achieved by conceal
ing the waist line with five graceful
folds held in place on each side by
five buttons OF crimson velvet.
While the material places this
blouse in the semi-formal class, its
simplicity of line opens a possibility
of wear on wider range Of occasions.
A plain gathered skirt of heavy satin
or soft velvet in black makes two
piece suit the styles of which is be-
coming to a surprising majority Of
women.
