HUSBAND PRODDERS" TO
 LINE UP DEIINQUENTS

Los Angeles, Oct. 24- Creation of the official position of county "hus- band prodder' has been decided on by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
 The duty of the husband prodder" will be to collect from delinquents who have been ordered by the fail ure-to-provide" court to support their wives or children.
 Judge Summerfield, who handles the failure -to-provide cases, and Pre- siding Judge Schenck, of the Superior court, appeared before the supervis- ors and pointed out the necessity for such an official.
 Judge Summerield stated that about $100,0O0 year was being col lected through his court. He added that much of the money ordered paid was lost because there was no one to follow up the cases.

HARDING AWARDS
 NEARLY ALL THE
 DIPLOMATIC PLUMS

Washington, Oct. 24.-Ha1f of the
 much-sought-for diplomatic plums
 have now been given out by the Hard
 ing administration. Of the 46 posi-
 tions listed under the heading, 'Em-
 bassies and Legations of the United
 States the President has thus far des-
 ignated 23 appointees.
 Of the remainder there are still two
 embassies and 20 legations to be dis
 posed of, and, as one high official re-
 gently remarked, "there is no dearth
 of material from which to draw
 The ambassadorial posts which have,
 been filled are Brazil, where the Will
 son appointee, Edwin V. Morgan, was
 retained; Chile by Dr. W. Miller Col
 Her; France by Myron T. Herrick,
 Great Britain by Colonel George Har-
 Spain by Cyrus Woods. and Japan by
 Colonel Charles B. Warren. The two
 recognized embassies to which an am
 baSsad dor is yet to be appointed are
 Argentina and Belgium.
 With the ratification of the peace treaties President Harding will be en-
 abled to nominate ambassadors to Germany and Turkey. The latter post has by unwritten law always gone to a member of the Jewishf aith. The dismemberment of Austria as a result of the war will probably mean the lowering of our post at Vienna from an embassy to a legation. The ap- pointment of an ambassador to MeXi- co waits upon the recognition of the ODreSOn government there Dy lne United States, and no one can predict when the embassy at Petrograd will be restored.
 The legations that have been filled and the appointees of the Harding ad-
 ministration are: Bulgaria, Charles w Wilson: China, Dr.Jacob Gould Schur- man; Czecho-Slovakia- Lewis Einstein

AUTOMOBILE
 THEFTS ARE
 DECREASING

St. Louis, Oct. 24.-Despite a 20 per ce-e. increase in the number of auto
 mobiles, thefts of automobiles de-
 creased 10 per cent. in 1920, as coEa-
 pared with 1919, according to statis- tics made public at headquarters of
 the National Automobile Dealers As sociation here.
 The association attributed the de-
 cline to results obtained from the fed
 eral motor vehicle theft law, more
 stringent laws in various states for the punishment of automobile thieves and vigorous police activity. In 1920 the statistics showed that approximately 30,000 automobiles were stolen in 2S large cities of the country. This number was 5000 less than those stolen in 1919. With a. theft list of $500 machines. Chicago had the largest number of
 motor vehicles stolen. New York had 1 5,200 and ranked next to Chicago. A large decrease in the number of machiyseS stolen in St. Louis was not | ed. 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 198 stolen and 211 re- l covered.
 The figures showed that Pacific 1 coast states recovered more than 50 l per cent. of the stolen automobiles.
