INGENIOUS METHODS USED
TO HIDE IDENTITY OF AUTOS
Two Machines Found at Hutchinson
Bearing Numbers of GAYS
Shipped Across Ocean.
(From Hutchinson News)

The ingenuity with which motor
car thieves ply their trade is demon
strated to fine point in discoveries
made today by Undersheriff W.. 7.
Clark in connection with two cars,
the ownership ofwhich he is investi-
gataing.
The discovery made by the Reno
county officer shows:
I. That the car bearing the mot
c. number Of machine which is un-
der surveillance here was shipped di-
rect from he fG,.ory to a buyer in
il Dar.
2. That a car bearing the serial
number of another car he is watch
ing was shipped to South America
by the factory and that the car bear
ing the engine number now carried
by this local machine was shipped to
Cadiz, Spain.
"There is an organized gang of
motor car thieves operating from the
Atlantic to the Pacific,' said Clark
"They watch the foreign shipments
and obtain numbers from cars they
know will never be used in this
country. Then when they steal a ma
chine of a certain make they elimin
ate the old number and ehristen il
with serial borne by a machine
which is then across the ocean"
Clark was unwilling to give any
more particulars concerning the two
cars in, connection with which HI

RED CROSS PREPARING
FOR FLU EMERGENCY
That Organization Making Plans Fol-
Epidemic Should One
Occur.

At the meeting of the Red Cross
Chapter last Tuesday evening plan
was adopted which it is earnestly
hoped will meet as successfully as
possible the present flu situation in
our city. The city was divided into
thirteen neighborhoods. One OF
more persons were selected in each OF
these to act as captains for their re.
spective neighborhoods. These cap.
tains are requested to try to get the
neighbors of any who may be sick to
render whatever help they may be
capable of giving.
The people of the city are urged
not to wait for a request from the
captain of their respective neighbor-
hood but to render such assistance as
may be possible. Often times they
can prepare and take food to the
sick. This is very necessary in case
the whole family may be sick. Some
times such have suffered for lack of
food. Also if possible the neighbor-
hood should adopt some plan of Civ
ing them the necessary care in the
way of nursing. All cases should be
reported to the captains of the neigh
borhood, who will have general over

Mrs. Maud Farmer of Tyrone was
in Liberal Monday on business.
Mrs. j. C. Wigton of Boyd was in
the City Friday on business.
Miss Emma Lust, Miss Matilda
Lust and Will Casdorph of Boyd was
in Liberal Saturday shopping.

An elderly gentleman living near
FIoris, but whose name we could not
learn, was probably fatally injured
the first of the week when he was
struck by an automobile. He was
walking down the road from his home
to the Floris store when car ap-
preached from the rear. According
to the driver of the car the horn was
sounded but as the man evidently
did not hear, the car was swerved to
the side of the road. Just as the car
was even with him the man seemed
to hear it and stepped to the side of
the road squarely in front of it. The
driver picked him up and took him
to his home. At last reports he was
in a critical condition.

further information. The Reno coun-
ty officer has made a speciality of APP
pretending motor car thieves and is
one of the best posted peace officers
in Kansas concerning methods en-
ployed by the national gang.
1t was with the idea of putting a
check to the activities of auto thieves
that Clark, as president of the Kansas
Peace Officers Association worked
so hard for the passage of the bill
lengthening the sentence of convicted
auto thieves. The legislature passed
the measure and hereafter the min
imum sentence will be five years in
stead of year,-Hutchinson News,

sight of all cases Of sickness where
help is needed.
1t is very necessary hiatt everybody
cooperate in this matter as failure
to do SO may result in loss of life.
Hence the Red Cross earnestly re-
quests every one to do all that they
possibly can to help meet the present
situation as successfully as possible.
Dust few cannot do it. The coop
Grafton of everybody is needful. Be-
low is a list of the neighborhoods
and the captains. 1t would be well
if every family would clip this list out
and preserve it in case of need. But
do not expect the captains of your
neighborhood to do all of the work.
Relieve them of as much as possible
! by doing what you can yourself.
Make the Golden Rule your rule of
action. The captains will have
enough to do.
