IF there ever was a times when n

Great wealth is a great responsible

The entire world Is dependent on

dangerous. Such an unusual set of
circumstances calls for steady hands,
well balanced minds, and an over

The great trouble Is that too
many people have forgotten the

coats must come off and work shirts
go on.
THE railroads are swinging back

Throw Your Keys
Away, Here's New
Car Theft Device

or all devices invented to thwart
auto thieves. not one can claim
absolute protection. Keys, locks,
rim spikes and the countless other
contrivances have been tried. and
the auto burglar has found a way
TO ply his trade in spite of them
all.
Well, here's the latest. and one
that is guaranteed by its inventor
to prevent theft. It does not lock
your ignition. nor the gear shift
any other part of the car. In fact,
every part can oe left open and
lever. nor the steering wheel, nor
ready for immediate use. But as
soon as the car Is moved, unofi-
cially, an alarm goes of and the
burglar hasn't far to 20 before he's
caught. The police can be let in
on the secret, and any cop hearing
that alarm can know the machine
is being stolen.
The device consists Of a gong
hidden away in some inaccessible
place beneath the engine or the toe
board for' instance. wires leading
from that to a separate battery and
switch. The main idea is to hide
the gong and switch so the thief
can't get at them.
once the car is parked. all the
owner has to do is turn on the
switch and quit worrying about
possible THEFT. But do not forget to
turn on the switch before starting,
or youll find yourself explaining II
