,an You Identify Your Car If Numbers Are Effaced?
BY L. J. FAULKNER.

Do you know your own cari If 1t had been stolen and
the numbers removed by the thief would be able to
unquestonably identify 1t if it was reooveredf
A very interesting occurred in a Western city
during the past week Four machines which had been
stolen recovered simultaneously The thieves had
marks.
Among the number were two Ford cars Dodge
and one Cadillac. The of the Dodge and OF one
OF the Fords traced by other means OF identified
ton but the question of ownership was in doubt in the
case Of the Cadillac and the remaining Ford
The only man who had lost Cadillac IN the inn
new one recently purchased but could not swear to It,
nor could he in any way give adequate Identification
although he possessed the engine and chassis number
but they of course were obiteraed from the machine
1t necessary for him to send to the agent who had
sold him the car to gain possession OF It, and was only
could identify the machine. In the of the Ford the
owner Immediately identified his by three chiseled
indenations that he had puposey made on the chassis
These very small but could be readily There
was no question in the minds of tn eauthones as to th
ownership of this Ford.
Here is an angle of forethought and shows how end
less trouble be avoided by few minutes attention
to this little detail of Identification 1t probably took
the owner less than half minute to make those chseled
ndenatons but his knowledge of their location and their
presence proved beyond any question of doubt that he
the owner of the car.
There so many places these identification marks
can be put that no thief could possibly discover them
without taking the all to pieces and looking carefully
in every place. but the owner would know exactly where
they located.
Are you taking similar precautions with your cart
The Identification by numbers of engines and other parts
have long ago proved to be useless after the got into
the possession of clever thief.
Don't let another moment go by until you have
placed upon your similar method of Identification
outlined above. You may need them but if you
did you would bless the day hat you had taken this
slight trouble
1t is surprising how many cars there that

large number of that sold yearly unidentified
not merely unclaimed but that the owners them
selves failed to satisfactorily prove ownership to the
authorities.
Get busy now-take your chisel and hammer and

BARBER POLE Way
GUIDES MOTORISTS

BALTIMORE. Sept. II. - Mayor
Broening has planned a barber pole
way" for Baltimore.
OF course, he doesn't can II that.
He calls 1t the "Oriole route" for the
guidance of tourists. But poles
gorgeously striped with bright orange
and shining black will be its most
conspicuous feature
1t Is true. too, that the new barber
poles will not be the Iowly affairs
that once served as indices to those
establishments where whiskers were
extracted from the human face with
out pain and later followed to OBJ
livion "the poor Indian" of the cor
ner tobacconist.
No. The new barber pole win be a
super-pole-an apotheosis OF It's
former self It will be a telegraph or
telephone pole, a lamp post or any
other kind OF pole not sufficiently
sensitive to resent being gaudily
striped with the orange and black.
Taken together. they will constitute
the "Oriole way"
All that the tourist will have to do
on entering Baltimore to get to any
desired point will be to follow the
barber poles" like one follows the
green line" in a New York subway.
The mayor has asked Henry q. Per-
ring. chief engineer of Baltimore, to
lay out a route. not for the planting,
but for the painting Of the poles.

NEW GASF|LTER
BOON T0AUT0|STS
Scientifically Correct Device
Eliminates All Carburetor
Trouble.

A. ID. Hayworth. well known In
Washington business circles, has Sc
cured the Eastern rights for the
Gas-co-lator. q practical device which
filters gasoline as IL passes from the
tank OF a motor car to the motor.
The device, which may be mounted
under the hood or upon the instru-
ment board. 10 compactIy and sturdily
constructed OF nickeled alloy metal
and heavy steam gauge glass. and
consists OF two chambers. one which
receives the gasoline from the fuel
tank and flters II through chamois.
and the second, which receives the
uttered gasoline.
Mr.. Hayworth's story OF the Gas.
co-lator Is interesting. 81 frst saw
a Gas-co-lator In Indiana polls" said
Mr.. Haywotth. AFTER a very trouble
some run from Washington to In
dianapolis. due TO the low grade Of
gasoline obtained on the way, was
having my car gone over in an In
dianspolis garage when a fellow
motorist called my attention 10 a
Gas-co-lator he had been using with
perfect satisfaction. Although II was
the hrst device OF this kind I had ex-
amined. II struck me as being not
only practicable but Absolutely es-
sential TO satisfactory motoring.
81 was 30 Impressed with the value
OF the Gasco-lator that / immed ately
got into communication with the
manufacturers and secured the East
ern rights. The Gas-co-lator which I
had installed on my car In Indian
apolis gave me perfect motor per-
formance throughout the remainder
OF my tour. which In many cases took
me over the worst roads OF the
Northwest"
II have absolute confidence in the
value OF the Gas-colator, and know
from actual experience that the de-
vice Ia an absolute necessity TO every
motorfst who wants to enjoy perfect
driving, which cannot be had when
using unfltered gasoline"
Needless to say the Gas-co-lator is
In capable hands. and eliminating, as
1t does. the many engine troubles due
to the feeding of non-volatiIe matter
ever present in the unfltered com.
mercial gasoline OF today to motors
built to function on clean fuel, should
prove boon to motorists who desire
happy driving and to the business
man who realizes the necessity of
transportation uninterrupted by
motor trouble.
1t Is conceded BY motorists and
engineers that the use OF filtered
gasoline will eliminate 90 per cent
OF combustion and spark plug trouble.

Hopkins University. at Homewood; /;
the Johns Hopkins Hospital. on Broad
way: Druid Hill Park, the court
house. city hall, Fort McHenry. the

The plan Is to have a sort Of d.

Route A will lead to Johns Hopkins
