A MATTER DE
 ION MAGE
Alaska''s Tr0uble Heavy Transportation Costs,,
 Thinks Rep. Curry.

Seattle.-J. J. Underwood, in dis patch from Washington, discussing President Harding's plans for Alaska, says that inst what plans are+ in mind for opening upqs Alaska was not made known, but like everything else affect ing the Northern Territory, there aree divers opinions. Secretary Cummings some time ago expressed theeopinion to- Secretary of the Interior Fall that thet Government should run aline of steam ships to the North to operate in con junction with the Alaska railroad.
 The senator believes that the whole trouble in Alaska is due to heavy, transportation costs, and plan to run a:line of ships to Alaska from Sano Francisco, Portland and Seattle has, been talked about. But itisnot likely that this plan will be carried out with out first overcoming opposition from various quarters, the House committee on,,serritories being gsamong them.
 'If we run Government ships to. Alaska;" said Congressman Curry. "she' probable result will besthe ruination of the companies that have dones' the pio- neeringa trade. What I think should besdone is to build more tonnage for the ships we.now have rather than to ppt more ships in the business. There is reasonable expectationthat the Gov ernment railroad in Alaska will be- completed this year. Efforts should bet made to develop tonnage for it."
 Congressman Curry and aa numberof' other members of the House are plan- ming to make trip to Alaska this sum- men, but their plan issonly tentative and'is subject to modification, accord ing. to the length of the session.

Auto Banditry Made
Special Felony
In Indiana.

The Hoosier State Automobile
Association helped pass a new
automobile theft law in Indiana.
1t reads:
"That IL two or more persons,
cooperating and aiding each other
therein, shall commit felony,
having at the time on or near the
premises where such a felony is
committed an automobile, motor
cycle, airplane, or other self-mov-
ing conveyance, by the use of
which they escape, attempt to es-
cape, or intend to escape, or having
committed such felony, they seize
an automobile, motorcycle, air
plane, OF other self-moving con-
veyance by the use Of which they
escape or attempt to escape, they
and each of them shall be guilty
of automobile banditry, and upon
conviction thereof shall be impris-
oned in the State prison for any
determinate period not less than
ten years nor more than twenty
five years"
This new law, besides being the
inspiration for the coming of
new phrase-automobile banditry
lis a long stride in the movement
to make automobile theft less pos
sible, says Motor Life. 1t is the
initial step in an effort to punish
the automobile thief as severely as
the nineteenth century horse thief.

he has complied with the laws ~ his

new DEVICE FOR
TESTING FOCUS OF ].
! AUTO HEADLAMPS
Warner-Patterson Co. Invents
Simple Means Of Showing
Status of Bulbs.

Are you violating the automobile
hsadiighting law of your State. coun-
ty or city?
Experts say that 90 out of every 100
hsadiamjs are out of focus. That
means that you are not only, in all
probability, violating the law. but
that you are wasting good light cast
ing road courtesy 70 the winds and
endangerinE. perhaps. the lives of
others on the highways.
Every headlightinS device designed
to eliminate dangerous glare is con-
structed to operate with lights in
focus. When motor car headlamps
are out OF focus protective devices are
OF little value. their vital purpose be-
ing destroyed.
Yet, adjustment of lights to put
them in focus Is as simple as putting
air In tire or putting gasoline In
tank. The difficulty has been that so
few motorists had the knowledge
necessary to properly focus their
lights. And ordinary methods are so
difficult and tedious light focusing Is
neglected.
But the fact is, the focusing of
lights IS the matter of but a minute
or two with the proper equipment.
With the idea of performing a real
national service for the motorists OF
the country and for others who use
the highways, the Warner-Patterson
Company, of Chicago. manufacturers
OF Patterson lenses, have provided q
focusing device which Will be. sent
free to anyone writing to the com
pany's offices at s14 South Michigan
avenue. Or they can be procured
without cost from Warner-Patterson
dealers in practically any city in the
country.
The device Is simple. 1t consists of
2 circular piece of cardboard, of about
the size of your lamps. In about the
middle of this board two small holes
are stamped out Printed instructions
for the use of the device are printed
on the cardboard.
The focusing of a lamp bulb Is ac-
complished by moving the bulb for
ward or backward, az the case may
require. The car during the opera
ton should stand on q leval surface
about fifty feet from . garage door
or some other solid background.
The Patterson testing device should
be placed direct against the face of

through the two holes In the device
should merge into one large spot on
ti.s garage or barn door. II two spots
of light are shown, the bulb is out

Iessness Calls for Attention
From Motorists.

Although 10 one can say Just
what a jury will decide or what a
Judge will rule, because of condi-
tions, few OF US care TO be In a po-
sitiop to make a test of the law to
form a precedent, says the editor OF
Automobile Dealer and Repairer. The
large majority OF us, who drive cars,
wish to obey the law, and though
our intent may be of the best, few
OF us can say that we know the law.
In fact there can be no absolute law
which will At all cases: only the in
depreciation OF the law by the Judge
or the law as established by preoe-
dent can be used as a foundation.
There Is one phase of the law which
all OF us should know about and
which is the subject of this editorial
1.-The matter of contributory nosli-
sence. The automobile owner IS re-
sponsihle for his machine and It's

cal condition OF the car.
As matters stand today, II is evil
dent that the courts throughout the
country are tending toward making
the car owner responsible for HIS
machine while 1t Is being driven on
the public roads, This is a tremend-
Gus responsibility for the owner and
he should realize IL.
The owner is guilty, usually, Of

fsur. while acting under his orders,

that the car owner Is responsible.
The owner should not hire or keep

The owner Is responsible for the

be shown that tine mechanism has

by the owner, then the owner can
be held for any accident resulting.
