CAR THIEVES MOST
ACTIVE IN YEARS


This is the particular season sof tn :
year when car stealing Is at its
height and owners will do wen TO o.
serve every precaution. II they
would display a small fraction Of the
Ingenuity shown by the crooks there
would be a. very material reduction
OF the evil. It is practically impossi-
BILE to prevent stealing entirely but
there is no gainsaying the fact that
drivers and owners carelessness
makes It altogether too easy for eVon
amateurs to SUCCESSFULLY! engage In
car stealing.
Altogether too few. of the cars
stolen are recovered. A fairly high
per cent is credited to the police OF
Detroit who of the 1,547 cars 50 far
stolen this year have recovered las.
Figures for some of the larger cities
for last year giving the number of
cars stolen and recovered are as fol-
lows: Boston, see, COZ: Chicago. 2,G11,
1854; Cincinnati. 34s 291; Cleveland,
2,0T6. 1,1s6; San. francisco 1,122,
1852. -
Cars should never be left without
some locking device, or thief alarm
set so that any attempt TO steal the
car will be Immediately recognized
by the police. Most cities forbid the
locking, of a car so that it cannot be
moved i'm case of fire or other emer-
geney, 50 we would not advise chain
ing and locking a wire wheel to q
lamppost, for instance.
One owner who did that had only
the wire wheel to show for his pains
when he came out Experience also
shows that IT Is not sufficient to leave
a boy in charge Of the car, for the
owners instructions to the boy may
be overheard by some one who can
pass himself off as the owner II be
happens to be of the same build and
description. Spare tires also should
be locked, as some make a speciality
OF stealing these and even those in
use. Two brand new cord tires were
removed from, the. rear wheels OF a
car. leaving il standing on the rims
in front Of a lighted theater.
The foreign demand for cars is
being taken advantage of by thieves
who are doing a very nice export
business. 1t is said about 90 per cent
Of the cars stolen are exported A
fence for stolen cars has been dis
covered in Cuba from which port they
were exported to other parts of the
world Shippers should be more par
ticular about the antecedents or any
used car offered for export.

The various types OF blouses which
are worn outside the skirt, the smock

Victorian bodice and the oldtiIne ter-

The smock blouse and the peplum

noticed in the separate skirt. are gay

ACTION NEEDED

;, TO KEEP PLACE

Of quick action, this city will be
deprived of an opportunity offered
it even without solicitation.

mental air derby starting in New
York and San Francisco tOmOr-
row has been spoken to about
thESG available landing sites in
davenport
The incident shows how readily
Davenport boosters grasp a situa-
ton. Lieutenant Hansberger was
on Rock Island train coming
from Chicago when he fell into the
hands of three Davenporters. They
no sooner guessed his mission here,
than they informed him there was
no place for him to stop in Rock
Island and asked him TO be their
guest in Davenport Then they
unfolded wonderful stories of the
landing fields available in Dayen-
port and the officer accompanied
them to Davenport where he spent
the night at hotel in that city.
Today. however. at the sugges-
Ntion of Mayor Schriver. the lieuten-
an. left Davenport and arrange
ments were made for quarters for
the officer at the Rock Island club.
OF Grave Importance.
The gravity of the situation can
better be grasped when it is real
lied that the selection of Rock Is
land as a stopping place on the
air route is for the present only
temporary and whether or not it
will be made permanent depends
on the report which Lieutenant
Hansberger sends to war depart
ment authorities after the derby is
completed. The officer will make
recommendation as he sees fit and
based upoH these the department
will make its decision II can be
quickly seen that should the lieu
tenant send in a report that Fran
ing field here is not as suitable as
one in Davenport. just across the
river. the department no doubt
would authorize the removal OF the
Rock Island landing place from
the official air route.
As the future holds everything in
store for development of flying.
this city viii no doubt find it high
ly profitable to its own interests to
get ready to put up fight to main
tain its place on the air route.

TELLS OF FALSE DIAGNOSES
Doctor jackson Says Foreign Sub
stances Often MisIed
Physicians.

Atlantic City, N. MANY physi-
unsupported foreign substances in
lung cavities and rushed patients TO
California and other distant places to
recover from purely imaginary tuber-
culosis, declared DIR. Cheyalier O..
Jackson of Pittsburgh in an address
before the American Roentgen Ray So
ciety at the Hotel Traymore. He adj
vocated that persons believed to have
bronchial affections should submit to
the Roentgen ray at least once a year.
In a resume of doctors errors, Doc
tor Jackson told of the discovery of an
inverted staple in man who had been
under treatment for tuberculosis for
Is months, and of the finding of the
top of an atomizer in a patient who
had spent much time In California. He
said that the rays had discovered an
umbrella tip in the body of daughter
of physician after the girl had been
an invalid for six years, of the location
of six-penny nail which caused 'un-
mistakable symptoms" of tuberculosis,
and of the finding of tacks which also
confused the diagnosticians.
DR.. Charles A. Waters, United States
army medical corps, declared that
thousands of American soldiers had
been saved in France by the use of the
most modern methods of locating bull
lets and shell splinters. He declared
that speed by the American surgeons
/ also saved many lives and declared
that when the marines stopped the
Germans at ChateauThierry, the
American surgeons passed wounded at
the rate of $50 every day.
