to these lists to the eject that certain
cars on specified lists may be stricken
off. The inference, of course, is that such
motors are present or accounted for At
any rate the cancellations are numeri-
cally so inferior that 1t Is TO be assumed
that only relatively few missing ears
are retrieved
Furthermore the cars comprising this
list number among them motors that
have been lost for the insurance money.
In other words they have been done
away with or were permitted to be
stolen that the owner might collect
from the insurance company issuing the
policy on the car. Then there is the car
actually stolen. but not properly reported
by the owner. who decided that it would
be unwise of him TO tell the whole truth.
Add 20 that the bona-fide case of theft
where the owner has left his car un-
locked and unguarded---in brief has done
everything but place upon his car an in
vitation to thieveg---and you have few
of the aforesaid circumstances that
modify the Importance Of the, statistics.
To begin with, the police OF New York
city had 4,148 motor car thefts reported
to them between January / and Novem-
ber 90. That many cars were stolen
within the boundaries of the city. That
day.
For a number of reasons, the most
popular of which seems to be that they
are looking forward to radical changes
IN the automobile section at Police
Headquarters. the insurance men are
not anxious to air their views. But for
entirely different reasons they balk COM
pletely when asked to set valuation
upon the motor cars stolen in New York
city since January I.
A few venture opinions. Striking an
average it appears that the loss to au-
tomobie owners lies between four and
FIVE million dollars. This is taking 1t
for granted that all the stolen cars were
new when purchased by the losers. And
It is not taking deterioration into ac-
count. nor is 1t considering extras placed
on the car by the owners.
Theft Crop Grows In Size.
During the flrst ten months Of 1920
the reported thefts amounted to 2,7S5.
Business doomed this year. you see. But
the boom Is realized more sternly when
you consider that from January !, 1920.
until January 1, 1921, the police received
just $3.50 notices from chagrined motor
owners. Therefore the thieves got ar 'ay
with 618 more than last years entire
crop as early as November 20.
The office OF the Secretary of State In
Albany produces the information that
292,S90 automobiles were licensed in
New York city between January / and
December /. Those who would mini
mize any Indictment of the police that
might be suggested on account OF the
great number of thefts can at once point
to the fact that, according to these fig
ures. only one car IN every seventy is
stolen during the year.
But that doesn't appeal to the owner
victim. The insurance officials. who
view the increase with alarm. are not
impressed by this ratio. And the fact
that the figures indicate that the motor
thieves are growing bolder month by
month should urge unanimous concern.
While statistics are being considered
the following table of monthly compari-
sons will show the increase in the num-
ber of cars stolen:

AS medium of accommodating law

TO have rendered all others impotent.
But. If the statistics are to be relied
upon, the motor car thieves and their
accomplices have captured second po-

Righteousness. 1t is a boiling down
to sentence or two the consensus of
insurance people.
The State Police have been ordered
TO stop bootlegging within the bound
aries Of this Commonwealth. The
measure of success they have achieved
is not a matter OF discussion here But,
having compared figures and viewed
with alarm the coming years possi-

demand that it pass some sort of leg

the thriving mobs who are devoting,
themselves to the theft Of motor cars.
This particular review of the situa-
ton has to do with New York city.
Just how many automobiles have been
stolen throughout this State since Jan.
can only be surmised. The figures
are not yet available. Last year
however. the State suffered more than
1000 such crimes And nov it is all
too clear that the number probably
will reach 10000 this year.
And thus far this year, nearly 4,200
motors have been stolen in New York

LONDON, Aug. 1S.-Has a man the
right to jilt a girl whom he is engaged
to marry?
/ The question has been raised by
London newspapers following a state
ment made by Justice McCardie in a
breach of promise case at Birming-
| ham.
"I4s my conclusion" said the JUS
tice, that more than half the divorces
are caused because the parties were
not really in love. In many cases they
discovered that fact before the mar
riage took place. A girl has a right
to jilt a man but a man often goes
ahead with the marriage. fearing
breach of promise proceedings
The Marchioness Townsend said
she thought any honest man would
tell his fiancee that he had ceased to
love her, regardless of the risk of
breach Of promise suit.
THE remarkable thing is that so
many girls fail to realize that the men
they are engaged to no longer love
them,' she added.
Miss Genevieve Ward, English act
ress, said that an engaged girl should
be glad to get rid of a man who has
transferred his affections to another
thinking of breach of promise
suits.

ber of practical business girls" re-
ports that they prefer to have their

Tourist TrnvcI Heavy

About 800 tourists cars pass through
Pendleton daily. according to records
kept by the Eastern oregon Auto Club.
A careful check yesterday taken at 16
garages and service stations, showed
that 252 tourist cars were in the city,
the day being one of the poorest of
the season. 1t is probable that other
cars stopped at other gasoline sta
tions in the city. Many cars from
Walla Walla passed through but no
check can be gained on these as gaso-
line is cheaper in Washington and
tourists buy there and not in Pendle-
ton. 1t is estimated that each car
averages about three persons. Efforts
are being made by the club to approxi-
mately estimate how much money is
spent in Pendleton by tourists each
day.
