The appalling increase IN the mum
her Of automobile thcfis during the
pnst few weeks over The entire state
Of Tovns s cnusIng much anxiety on
tho mart Of The State Highway officials
and Inc other officials OF The coun-
trv For some tImc offer The enact
mont of few strenuous laws for
the protection Of the car owners 81
this State. The decrease In thciis was
noticeable. However according 90
Sheriff llolcomh the thieves nave
now found new ways OF getting
away with these cars and are now
again at work as diligently as ever.
The fact that from the Governor
Office at Austin there has been sent
out notices Of theft of automobiles
amounting 20 as many as eight daily.
Mr. Holcomh says he believes that
under conditions now existing, little
protection "a accorded 20 the owners
OF automobiles. An instance Of a
few DAYS ago In Lubbock clearly
shows this 10 be n fact The owner

hopes Of possibly locating it, only

One Of the best remedies Mr. Hol-
comb would offer would be the con
centration Of efforts among the State
Highway officials particularly. lie
thinks that this department should
employ men whose sole duty would
be 10 search records comparing en-
CINE numbers Of the various cars reg
istered in the State. Also, II neces-

Joining could be sent to some point
OF concentration Of effort, thus locat-
ing Immediately the number Of the
engine Of the car stolen. The law
compelling the registration Of auto
mobiles in all states would help in
this work Another way which would
help in cases where the cars stolen
are taken from one state TO another,
would be for the officials Of the
State in which the car is 20 be regis

State from which the car came and

the present wave Of automobile thefts

is known that millions Of these cars
are in operation, and that hundreds

Mr.. Holc0mb also believes that it

necessary. 90 have a man in each

Opportunities Galore

Turn deaf ear, you young people, to the pessmist

Curl Hair This Way
and Keep 1t Healthy

It has been found that the use Of a
harmless fluid which druggists know as
"silmerine." will keep the straightest hair
in curl for the longest time, giving Il the
appearance of true nsturalness. besides
keeping the hair softer and gIossier than
possible with tho heated iron. The liauid
should be applied. with a clean tooth brush
before doing up the hair. drawing the brush
the hair from crown to tip.
The hair will be beautifully wavy and
curling. and will lie easily and loosely on
the head. as It should. considering its well
fare from a hygienc standpoint few
ounces OF liquid simerine will last for
