Machines i'm This Terri
tory Must Have Some
Sort of Locking Device

All manner of devices to foil the
automobile thief are on the market.
Some of them are effective and some of
choice as to whether or not some sort
of locking devices should be put on the
car rested with the owner and his de-
sire to reduce his insurance premium
is per cent by putting on a device ap-
proved by the underwriters The new
insurance regulations governing auto
mobile policies make it obligatory for
low and medium priced cars hereabouts
to have some sort of approved device
on the car or otherwise a penalty of
S15 is imposed.
The devices are of several sorts.
Some are combination locks which are
designed to make it impossible to start
the engine unless the lock is released.
Such devices, however, do not ordinari-
~ prevent the car being towed away
because local ordinances do not permit
of car being left locked so it cannot
be moved To that extent such locks
are unsuccessful. There are other de-
vices which fix the steering wheel
either so it cannot be moved and, as
the car wheels are locked so that they
are slightly turned, towing is impos-
sible. One very popular device for
small cars leaves the wheel free so
that it spins around constantly on the
steering column and makes it impos-
slble to direct the car.
Another attachment is wedge
shaped piece of metal which clamps
over the tire and is locked by means of

Rusty Rims May Do
Big Damage to Tires

Iron rust eats into canvas very ouicE-
ly, and for this reason rims should
be examined and cleaned a few times
each season. Assuming that the rim
is clean, as it should be when the tire
is attached, it may be kept so indefl-
nitely if proper attention is given to
keep the rims straight and if the lock-
ing nut on the valve stem is drawn
tight so that no water can work in
through the hole in the rim.
If, on inspection, the rim is found to
be rusty, even though merely in small
spots, the rust should be sandpapered
off and the rim given a coat of graphite
or thin shellac. Ordinarily stove pol
ish, which contains graphite, is also ex-
cellent for preventing rust and making
it easy to remove a tire in case of an
emergency.
Any dent or bend in rim should be
corrected as soon as discovered, for if
the bend is inward great strain is
brought on the bend and side Of the
casing. If the bend happens to be out
ward there is fine chance for water,
oil and dirt to work in between tire
and rim.

Good Road From Here
To indianapolis. Is Report

Conditions on the road from New
York to Indianapolis are on the whole
rather good, according to New York
automobile dealer just returned from a
drive-away Of his cars from the fac
tory. The route is from indianapolis
to Richmond, to Xenia,S to Columbus,
to Washington. Pa, and than to Union
town, Hagerstown, Baltimore, Phila,
delphia and New York. He says that
the road from Columbus to Philadel-
phia is like boulevard.
Dealers who are having their ears
driven from the factory are limiting
the drivers to slow schedule, so as
to avoid possibility of damage to the
engine mechanism through speeding
when car is new anhstiff. The roads
are thronged with ears being driven
away, and license plates from every
state can be seen. Hotels on the road
are reaping q wonderful harvest from

Insurance Information,
Serrice TO Motorists

Automobile insurance is GENERALLY
one Of the least understood things
about car. A great many owners
and operators know far more about
the internal mechanism of their ma
chimes than they do about this in
tensely important external feature
Of automobilism. The Tribune is
anxious to be of assistance to mo-
torists who have insurance prob
lens of any description, and for
that reason invites any automobilist
who wishes information non any
phase Of automobile insurance to
address an inquiry to the Automo-
bile Editor. The inquiries will be
answered promptly and competent
ly. General articles on the subject
of automobile insurance will appear

a special lock. When this is on the
wheel it is extremely difficult, if not
impossible, to move the can awsy with
out attracting attention. The car can
not be driven faster Chan seven to ten
miles an hour with this device locked
on the wheel, it is said. Something of
this sort appears to be most effective
thief-proof device.
There are automobiles that come
nowadays equipped with locks that
operate on the transmission in such a
way as to make it impossible to start
the car and run it without putting in
new gears, rather an ambitious task
for any thief to hope to be able to do
undetected.
A more general use of some sort Of
locking device would result in diminu-
tion of the wholesale thieving of cars,
which has reached huge proportions.

In Need of Expert
Advice ON Trucks
Many Lines Are Over

Thousands Of business men who have
never owned motor truck are to-day
giving thought to the installation of
one or more vehicles. Not being famil-

face the risk Of an incorrect solution
and find the correct one difficult to
reach. There are many other business
men now operating trucks who, even
after years of experience, are not sure
that their transportation methods are
all that they should be.
How can the on-owner find out the
best thing to do, and the doubling own
err determine whether he is getting
value received? Consultation with q
freight transportation expert would
soon demonstrate to him the impor-
tance of discussing a hauling problem.
The expert can solve each problem
within close degree of accuracy.
few of the largest manufacturers
make Investigations and freight prob
lem surveys and to submit analysis in
formation. Their first object is to see
if ways can be found to save money. If
a non-owne should call on one of these
freight transportation experts for as
sistance the latter would be glad to in
vestigate his transportation require
ments, and, given the fullest measure
of cooperation, the expert will be en-
abled to submit an analysis of the bust
ness, its transportation requirements,
and tell what should be done to meet
these requirements.
If the analyst finds that truck is
not necessary he will say so, and give
full benefit of the investigation and
suggestions. One will find that in max
ing an investigation an analyst will
make it point not to waste his own
or others time on unimportant mat
ters.
If shippers own or operate motor
trucks and are uncertain as to whether
they are being operated at the maxi
mum of possible efficiency they should
call on a freight transportation engi-
neer and put every angle Of the' prob
lem before him. Give him every fact
and he will find an answer. He will
find out the good and bad points in
method of handling a hauling problem
He will get facts, and facts only,
through direct questions and observa
tions.
An investigation may show that one
is operating too many trucks. In
case like this disposal of part of the
fleet would be recommended and more
intensive working of the remainder ad-
vised. The fundamental principle in
the installation of one or more trucks

April Is for the absence of a locking
device on certain automobiles used for
private pleasure purposes. A charge
of SIS is made where this locking de-
vice is not used on the car. This pen
atty applies to all policies which cover
the boroughs of Manhattan, the Bronx
and Brooklyn. The higher-priced cars
seem to be exempt from this penalty,
due to the fact that more medium
priced and low cars are stolen. Where
this locking device is used an allow
ance of 10 per cent is granted from
the theft rate.
S Per Cent Allowance Tire Locking

An allowance of S per cent is given
