More than 1000 pounds of dynamite
dropped from so to 60 feet, but failed
to explode when a motor truck, owned
by W. !. Gochenour, well driller. of
Maurertown, Va, skidded on ice,
plunged over retaining wall on the
Shenandoah Valley pike at Fishers
Hill and rolled to the bottom of the
hill. The driver and a man with him
jumped as the truck started over the
wall and ran from the scene as fast
as their legs would take them, expect
ing to be blown to atoms. Two broken
wheels and denied fender constitut-
ed the damage.

Organization Conducts an Active Cam
paign Throughout the Country
With Headquarters Located in
the City of Chicago.

Coincident with the announcement
that the Interstate Motor Theft COM
mission would be continued as
permanent organization with head
quarters in Chicago, it was said that
reports of thefts of automobiles
throughout the country indicated that
cars valued at $100,0O0,0O0, were stolen
every year. 1t also was asserted that
these automobile thefts showed loss
of 100000 for every twenty-four
hours.
The Interstate Motor Theft commits
sion was formed in 1921 for a nation
wide inquiry into automobile frauds
and theftS and for the destruction of
the market for stolen cars. The COM
mission is composed of about 100
persons in different parts of the coun-
try, including Deputy Police Commits
sioner Joseph A. Faurot, E. NJ. Allen,
member of the Insurance Committee
of the United States Chamber of
Commerce; J. A. Hail. educational di-
rector of the Associated Advertising
Clubs of the World; GutZon BOrglum,
the sculptor and president of the In
ternational Sporting club, and Dan
Beard, National Boy Scout commits
Sioner.
National Clearance Test.
"a national clearance test to be ap-
piled to all cars registered in the
United States has been carefully
worked out that not only will result
in the detection and recovery of a
great majority of the uncovered cars
stolen in the past, and that are sill
in operation, but will prevent to
very large degree, the future sale, use,
or registration of stolen cars in any
state, regardless of changes in num-
bers and appearance" says a state
ment of the commission.
1.-The plans of the commission are
considered the most constructive and
business like that have been advanced
since the advent of the automobile it
self to adequately protect Americas
S5,500000,000 of motor car wealth
against commercialized theft and
fraud. Since its inception this body
has enjoyed almost unqualified moral
support and cooperation from many
sources, among them police, detective,
state, insurance and business authori
ties, civic organizations, motor car as
sociations, clubs, manufacturers, dis
tributors, dealers and owners"
Owners Aid Is Asked.
The statement added that owners of
cars were especially being urged to
aid the commission in eliminating
automobile thefts throughout the coun-
try. 1t declared that automobile thiev-
ing sis today one of the most profit
able forms of lawlessness." "Automo-
bile thefts retard the advance of every
branch of the motor car industry" the
statement continued, impose a
burdensome liability upon owners, and
police and state departments.
MANY laws to check the motor car
theft and fraud evil have been enact
ed. The majority of them carry heavy
penalties, and although many arrests
are made throughout the country con-
victions seem difficult to secure; in
any event fewer than should be are
accomplished, and no perceptible slack
ening of this lawlessness is generally
apparent"

TAKES A HEAVY TOLL
Commission Says Trapping
Must Cease for Period or
Fur Will Be Depleted.

That the trapping season should
be closed, thus prohibiting the
catching of mink, muskrat, beav-
er. otter and raccoon, is the be-
lief of the State Conservation
Commission, according TO a COM
munication sent TO secretary. of
rod and gun clubs in counties IN
the state. The communication
has been sent out for the pur-
pose of getting the opinions of
the clubs relative to the matter
of closing the trapping season.
Indications are that muskrat,
mink, beaver, otter and raccoon
are trapped out so closely that
IT is dangerous to permit the
trapping of these various fur
bearing animals another season,
says the communication.
Since the legislature does not
meet until January, 1923. too late
TO take any action to give pro-
lection TO the animals before the
opening of the next trapping sea-
son, the commission has decided
20 proceed under the provisions
of section 1921 of the statutes,
which gives the commission pow
er TO close the season if necessary
to protect the animals. Hearings
will have TO be held in all of the
counties and petitions presented
10 the commission signed by at
least twenty-five residents of
each county in which hearings
are to be held. The petitions
must be presented preliminary TO
the hearings. Although it is
tremendous task to cover the
state and hold hearings in all of
the counties the commission feels
that it is worth the effort mas
much that serious consequences
are sure TO result to some, it not
all, of these species should trap
ping be permitted another year.
According TO reports filed with
the commission there were trap
ped the last season, extending
over the fall of 1921 and the
spring of 1922, 34O,615 muskrat,
9s otter, 52,7O3 mink, $500 beaver
and 1919 racoon.
