AUTO THIEVES
 MAY BE BALKED

Ceaseless vigilance on the part Of the owner is the only absolutely sure pro- lection against the automobile thies, declared police official recently. Locking devices, he said. are useful because they render the work of the . thief more difficult. but they are not an absolute protection.
 Automobile thievery," he declared,
 is a highly organized industry The thieves have evey facility at their com mand and often are connected with some garage, the owner of which acts as fence Frequently we receive re ports of cars having been towed away Or even having been put on a truck and taken to some remote place where any locking device may be removed at leisure
 So you can see that as it is almost impossible to prevent thefts. the next best thing is to take every measure possible to assure the return of the ear after it is stolen. As the thieves make it an invariable practice to erase the usual identifying numbers, every own CT should place some secret marks on his car by which he can positively identify it in case of need.
 "A mark may be scratched under the seats. on the battery box or in fact any place where it is apt to remain un- noticed This system Is employed by few of the larger manufacturers. Every Hudson and Essev. for instance has a special series of secret numbers record of all of them being kept at the factory in Detroit on a card with the owners name. These number are all cross indexed so that given any onV of the numbers the owner and the car can be identified at a moments notice
 When Hudson or Essex car is re- ported stolen at the factory. a. cOmDIpt e description together with all it's num- bers is sent to all distributors and dealers and to police and insurance of ficials all over the country This has resulted in the recovery by their own CTS of an average of four cars a day"

BENT RIMS DIRECT
 CAUSE IF RIM CUTS

Bent rims are a direct cause of rim cuts, of tires blowing from the rim and of the breaking of the wire cables at the base of the tire. Otter times motorists cannot understand why tires should "blow'' when they are driving along slowly. The facts of the case are that the overstrained carcass has reached the limit of it's endurance from previous abuse and has given away
 Many motorists. were they to ex- anime the wheels on their cars would be surprised to notice that their rims are bent along the edges. These bent rim flanges are ordinarily little thought of, yet they cause a goodly percentage of tire trouble
 When the wheel hits a frog or 2 switch of a street car track or hole in the road, there is a tendency to flatten the rim especially if the tire is underinflated. The ribs support however, is essential to the life Of tire. If it is bent so that it does not fit the tire and allows the side walls, to bulge, the motorist may know that trouble is to be expected unless he takes immediate precautions.

Williamson, w. Va,
Has Appearance of
Town During a War

Williamson, w. Va, Dec. 17-This
thriving little city of some 1000 per-
sons, the political and business CEN
ter of the great Mingo county coal
field where a strike of miners has been
in progress since last July, presents,
under military occupation, an appear
ance similar to that Of many another
town during the war.
Khaki, fast becoming a novelty in
most places, is so common in the Will
Hanson district that miners and
mountaineers no longer turn to look
at the passing soldier, or stand 20
gaze on the sentry before Colonel
Herman Halls headquarters in the
county courthouse. Here in William
son, where there. has been no violence,
the soldier carries his bayonet at his
hip, but in the region around Chat
leroy and Matewan, mining towns
nearby. every sentry PAGES his beat
with bayonet fixed.

disorders of the past few months,
have little effect on Williamson. The

which never fails to attract an APP
preciative audience, willing and
anxious to express its. approval of the
nations fighting men.
Mercantile and banking interests
unite in the expression that the use
of federal troops at this time is a
mighty good thing. if for no other
reason than that they give a sense
of security for every side of the in
dustrial controversy.
Immediately upon their arrival, the
provisional battalion from Camp
Sherman took up the task of cleaning
the city of its physical and morafde-
fects. First they gave the courthouse
thorough overhauling, and then
turned their attention to the build
ings taken over for quarters. Then
they went after the streets, and about
the same time, took up the moral
question. Undesirables were notified
that they could no longer remain in
the city, both tasks being done direct
ly by the civil authorities but under
| the directing eye of the soldiers.
In the outlying mining districts
where there has been more or less
disorder since the strike was called,
conditions are also reported as much
improved. Strong attachments OF
| soldiers have been sent to a number
of points. and their presence has been
marked by almost perfect order.

ton which the military was COM
