pieces of furniture. The night opcr-
ator at the Richmond exchange, when

Decrease in Numbers
of Stolen Automobiles

St. Louis, Mo, Oct 1o-Despite a
20 per cent. increase in the number
of automobiles. thefts of automobiles
decreased 10 per cent in 1920 as
compared with 1919. according to
statistics made public at headquar-
ters Of the National Automobile Deal
crs' Association here.
The association attributed the de-
cline to results obtained from the

stringent laws in various states for
the punishment of automobile thieves
and vigorous police activity.
In 1920 the statistics showed that
approximately $4,000 automobiles
were stolen in % large cities of the
country. This number was 5000 less
than those stolen in 1919.
With 4 theft list of $500 machines.
Chicago had the largest number of
motor vehicles stolen. New York had
$500 and ranked next to Chicago.
A large decrease in the number of
machines stolen in st. Louis was no.
ted. In 1919 the number was 1900.
while only 500 thefts were reported
in 1920.
Dayton. O.. had an unusual record
OF having recovered more stolen cars
than the actual number of thefts re-
ported. with 19S stolen and 2I1 re-
covered
The figures showed that Pacific
Coast CITIES recovered more than fifty
Fer ceNt. of the stolen automobiles.

ROOSeVelt's Birth

Indianapolis, Ind. Oct. 19-Com-
mcmoration of the 63rd anniversary
of former president Theodore Roose-
velt's birth on October q is urged
by John G. Emery, national COM
mander of The American Legion. in
a letter sent today to all legion
posts.
1.-The American Army in France
and in the camps at home never had
a better friend than former Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt" says Com
mander Emery's letter. IF he had
had his wish he would have fought
and died at our side: as it was, he
fought the good cause at home until.
like the soldier on the firing line. he
fell, fighting with his face to the en-
envy.
by his vigorous efforts for pre-
paredness and national unity he
made all Americans his debtors.
But the men who wore the uniforms
of the United States are peculiarly in
his debt. No one will ever know
how many American lives We're saved
to future usefulness by his appeals
for adequate preparations before war
came, and for public support Of the
nations fighting arm while the war
was in progress.
ION Oetober p the nation will
commemorate the sixty-third ami
versary of Theodore Roosevelt
birth. The National Commander
urges local posts throughout the
country either 10 organize celebra-
tons of their own or to take active
part in whatever celebrations may
be arranged by other bodies in their
communities"
