CHURCH NOTES.

"For what Do We Live? For Me To
Live is Christ" This question and
answer constitute the main thought
brought out by DR.. S. L. Flickinger at
the last union open-air service of the
summer, held Sunday night in the
Ciceronian hall in the old college
building. The answer to the question,
as given by the Apostle Paul, was ex-
planned in an able manner. Owing to
rain, il was impossible to have the
services outside, as is the usual GUS
tom. Rev. DR.. John G. Siler, OF Duff
fields, had been expected to preach the
sermon at the service, but at the last
minute he was unable to be present.
DR.. Flickinger took his place, and de-
livcred an interesting and instructive
address in pleasing manner.

THE RAILROAD STRIKE WAVES.

BY a vote of 254 to 4, the railroad
executives of the country have decid-
ed to maintain their stand on the
seniority issue, and still refuse to ac-
cept the strikers to their employ again
with their rights unimpaired. And
why should they yield to Bert NJ.
Jewell and his misguided men when
train service is improving and shops
throughout the United States have en-
p'oyed men to replace over 20 per cent
of those who went on strike? II be-
gins to look as if tine shopmen's strike
is lost to the workmen. 1t is sort
of poetic justice to have them defeat
ed in their attempt to hout the decis-
ions of the Railroad Labor Board. an
institution of the government. The
conduct of the railroads has been far
from perfect, but they're right on this
issue.

The agency for the celebrated Braumu
Ter Pianos. These instruments have
been on the market for nearly fifty
years as high-class instrument at a
moderate price. Until recently these
pianos have been sold in the East only
because the manufacturers have not
been able TO make more than enough
TO take care of their local trade. They
have recently built an addition to their
factory and are now in a position to
extend their territory. They sell ONLY
direct from factory to home, hence
their moderate price for a high-class
piano. Wholesalers and dealers cannot
buy these instruments from the mann
tacturer. They prefer to give the user
the middleman'S profit in better
values. This has been their policy for
tfiv years, and they find il paws. They
are sold on easy terms to those who
prefer to buy that way They are guar
anteed to give satisfaction for the life

BASEBALL NEWS.

Shepherdstown lost to the Front
Royal baseball team OF the Shenan-
doah Valley league on the latter's dia-
mond Tuesday afternoon, tine contest
being a close one, although the final
count was TO 2 in favor Of the Vir-
ginians. After breezing along for
three innings of scoreless baseball,
Shepherdstown pried the lid of in the
fourth frame. Kirk Mckee was safe
when Cook erred on his grounder.
Myers was hit by pitched ball. Legge

leaned a potent wand against one OF
Eastham's fast ones, scoring both
runners and reaching third himself
At this time Eastman pulled himself
together, and famed Reinhart and
Shipley in revenge. And he didn't
allow a single bingle after that session
But the enemy got busy in their half
OF the fifth and earned a run on
Moffatt's double and Easthams single
Another was added in the seventh, and
three more in the eighth, which put
the game on ice, for the Legionites
were unable to do a thing with East
hams Slants after the fourth inning
had passed. Willis was rather wild,
walking three men and hitting three.
He was stingy with base hits, however,
allowing only seven. McGovern, Front
Royal left fielder, had the misfortune
to stop fast one with his nose, with
the result il was knocked around far
enough so that he could sneeze in his
ear with no trouble at all He re-
tired from the game when the acct
dent happened in the fourth inning.
The Legion team played good base
ball, but the two errors made figured
in the scoring in the sixth and seventh
innings. Lefty Reinhart made nifty
catch of Herrell's drive in the second
inning when he mounted a bank in
right field and pulled the ball out of
the ozone.

CALCULATING the average value of
the stolen ear at no more than
$1,000, we have money loss of $20,-
100000. Even this is apparently
only half the truth, but it is enough
to pay for the high and special priv
ilege of keeping the motor thief go-
ing.
The thing has got to the point
were concerted action of some kind,
affecting the country generally, is in
sight. Some of the moves of the in
surance companies foreshadow- this.
For instance, under the new insur-
ance contracts, If your car is stolen
you can no longer collect in cash. in
stead you get a used car of the same
type and series as your stolen ve-
hicle. The manufacturers always
have such cars on hand. and the in-
surers provide them instead Of cash.
This move was made to discourage
collusion between automobile own:
ers and thieves.
Again, since last October the in
Surance companies no longer insure
special equipment and pay no losses
on spare tires. robes and other forms
Evening star., 1922-04-23

of added conveniences. unless the en-
tire car is stolen. This move was
forced by the tremendous losses Of
accessories and the invariable habit
of car owners to claim double and
treble their losses. Sometimes when
a car owner lost some wcrnout, de-
Gazing tire to. motor thief he
claimed payment for. new cord tire
or the highest cost
Finally, five states have now adopt
ed laws lin effect July ~, to the eff
feet that a car. owner must. show
clear title, to his machine before the
state authorities when he applies for
his license plates. II he cannot show
unuuestionable ownership no license

innocent party to the bargain. The
car thief has ready a forged bill OF
sale, purporting to have been made
out to him by the owner of the car
whose official numbers correspond
with those he has placed on the stolen
vehicle. He then gives the new pur-
chaser second bill of sale. In other
words. he ostensibly proves that he
acquired. the car legitimately and he
gives the new owner evidence OF le-
gitimate purchase. He gets his
money and the new owner gets his
car.

THE purpose Of all this is OF
course. to get round the larceny
laws. II a man buys stolen article
in good faith. having previously been
convinced that he was making pur-
chase of the legitimate owner OF the
property. it becomes dificult mat
ter to recover from him. These new
laws seek to remedy this condition by
instituting q sort Of state bureau of

the spring the young thiefs
fancy lightly turns to thoughts OF
cars. All winter long the blithe
business of stealing motors has
been afflicted with a kind of hibernal
depression. like other industries. Not
that there has been no traffic Any
firm of motor insurance underwriters
will tell you that losses have been
so heavy that rates have had to be
advanced and further limitations
placed upon the kinds Of insurance
to be written. In New York the cars
have vanished at the rate OF ten
day. right through the cold months,
in spite of the large number of auto
mobiles in winter storage and all the
with the stealing. But. still and all.
the spring brings better things, from
the larceEous gentleman's point of
view, as the first weeks of March
give token.
There has been an average of about
twelve a day before the season
opened. Compare with this the po-
lice figures for last July. when 3s2
cars were reported stolen (also at
the rate of twelve a day), and you
must come to the conclusion that the
thing Is on the wax. Policemen and
motor insurance experts are able to
gauge the probabilities pretty accu-
rately. in the light of painful ex-
perisnce, and they expect that the
summer rate of stealage in the city
will be eighteen or twenty cars every
twenty-four hours-500 or 500 month.
The situation is not much better in
other parts of the country. The manu-
facturers of a light car issue a bull
letin every two weeks, listing all
cars Of their make reported stolen.
These lists show that the national
daily average Of loss Is from " to 5.
The losses Of fivvers must be about
three times as heavy, SO that we
have a countrywide daily loss Of
eighteen or twenty cars Of these two
makes alone-again an average of 500
or 600 a month. II losses on all
other makes of cars combined merely
double this number we have ma
tional motor car loss thro0gh theft
Of 1900 or more a month-18.0oo to
co. 900 per annum. These figures are
probably tar too low. -

enough numbers on the various in
tegral parts Of the cars they sell con-
tribute to the prosperity of the
and all should have serial numbers
stamped on the engine, the body. the
chassis, the rear axle and on other
component parts of the machine.
Every such number on an indispens-
able part of the car adds to the dir
ticulties of the thief. for he must
change them all before he can safely
dispose of the car. If he leaves one
number unchanged it is always pos
sible for detectives and car tracers to
identify the stolen vehicle.
i
THE fliver is an example, according
! to Mr.. Lissner, for it contains
only one number. which the thieves
readily change. Recently. says this
authority, he traced to Washington
102 stolen Ford cars. but the numbers
had all been changed, SO that the
Identification and recovery was i'm
possible. The same thing happened
in Brooklyn, where 140 cars of this
make were disposed of. In spite of
the fact that Lissner and the police
knew the cars had been stolen they
were unable to make recoveries be-
cause of the simple change In num-
bers, which is effected by means of
special stamping dies. such as all car
robbers own and use. This is not a
charge against any manufacturer.
Other makes of cars suffer from the
same trouble. 1t is a mere statement
Of a condition which might be rem
edied.
One Of the chief trouble today. ac-
cording to Mr. Lissner, is that people
generally have not yet come to recog-
nize the motor car as a piece Of cost
ly and definite property. 1t is still
too new to have reached this estate.
For instance: It man buys a used
motor car for $1,000 he takes bill OF
sale and lets 1t go at that. But II
he buys couple Of building lots for
the same amount Of money he never
fails to have the title traced. and he
resorts to title guarantee company
to make sure against fraud or loss
And the big season i just opening
