|B3AUT0S STOLEN
| IN BALTIMORE CITY
Police Recover 706-Figures
Now Exceed Total for
Whole of 1921.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
! BALTIMORE, Md. November Ii
! Since the first of the current year
/ records at police headquarters show
i a totol of 7S3 automobiles stolen. OF
! this number the police have recovered
| 7O6. The number of machines stolen
, during the ten months of this year
exceeds by II the total for all of 1921.
! With two months figures to be regis
! tered before the close Of the current
year. it is not improbable that final
computation of thefts for the twelve
months will show an increase of so
per cent over 1921 and nearly rs
per cent increase over the statistics
| compiled for 1890.
Despite this increase. the police
| deny that automobile thefts are on
the increase. They point to the fact
! that there are nearly double the num-
Der Of cars in the city this year than
last. They also declare there are no
Organized bands OF auto jacks" now
operating in the city.
Two years ago. the police say, two
organized bands of auto jacks" were
operating here. At that time an aver
age of nine or ten automobiles were
stolen each day. The headquarters of
the auto jacks" were finally located
by the police and nearly a dozen ar
rests were made. After that, detec-
tives say. automobile thievery de-
creased to a minimum.
Bootleggers are blamed by the
police for appropriating many of the
automobiles reported stolen In many
instances, the police say. as in the
case of joyriders. the bootleggers
abandon their stolen cars a few hours
after they have served their purpose.
Judging from the figures of the
closing months of the last three
years. it is not unlikely that the num-
Der Of machines that will be reported
stlen during the remaining months of
this year might swell to more than 100
each
This, detectives say. is attributed to
fewer people being on the streets to
detect an automobile thief and the
fact that they have longer hours to
operate, since it becomes dark now
shortly after s pm.
1t is also pointed out that motor
lists use their cars more at this time
of the year than at any other. thus
making greater number of machines
prey for the thieves. For the most
part, motorists continue to drive up un-
til January 1, or when they are forced
to abandon driving because OF cold
weather.

GUM FOUND IN GASOLINE.
Problem Which Eventually May
Harass the Motorists.

Another problem which may rise
up to vex and harass motorists Is
pointed out by the bureau Of mines
in connection with an exhaustive re-
port made on the subject Of gum
forming substances in gasoline.
While this problem is one with which
motorists primarily do not have to
deal, yet care is necessary on the
part OF the manufacturer to the end
that it not develop after the gas has
been sold to the consumers. The bu-
reau Of mines In a report which has
been transmitted to the N. M: A.,
states that additional studies Of the
various methods of evaporation and
oxidation of cracked gasoline are to
be made, and the results OF the same
will be made public promptly. In
this connection the bureau says: 1T
sometimes happens that gasoline that
il apparently normal when made will
in time deposit small quantities Of a
gummy substance. The present in
vestigation was undertaken in the
hope that 1t would throw some light
on these gums and indicate how their
formation might be prevented. In the
investigation just made q new and
convenient method was developed
for determining the gum in gaso-
line"

A defective tube will ruin the best

Washington.-An evidence Of prices

cotton. This report covers the month
of July, which shows that compared
with July a year ago, the exports OF
cotton expressed in number OF bales
declined 38 per cent, while expressed
in actual valuation increased II per

the seven months ending July this

The Publie's Riaht

For many years the two parties in
the industrial field have battled and
struggled and wasted their own ener-
gy and power in conflicts over wages
and working conditions. Meanwhile
both these parties are moe or less
inclined to deny and ignore the right
of the public to be heard in these
matters.
The laws and institutions Of society
are all created for the protection of
the public. Men own coal mines and
railroads, and they work for corpor.
ations owning the same, so that the
public can be served. When they get
to thinking exclusively Of their own
interest and forget that they must
serve the public efficiently and WELL
they are likely to get into trouble.
The business and prosperity of the
country is now menaced and gravely
disturbed BY the terrible quarreis in
the coal and railroad industries. The
public has a right to continuous SER
vice in these industries SO vital to it's
health and welfare. If it is not listen.

AS 1t Is within the bounds of bridge etiquette 10 inform the table be- fore the game begins what conven- tions you use. you may with benefit clip out the following and read them to the table when occasion demands.
 Five Essential Conventions
 An Initial One No Trump bid must be hand Queens strength better than the average in high cards. with three SullS Buaroed
 An Initial One Ma jor Suit bid must have length and strength, with four sure tricks for attack, or two sure tricks for defense or support
 An Initial One Minor Suit bid must have as a minimum two tricks in the suit named. 1t is informative only. and the bidder does not desire to play 1t through
 Doubling an Initial One Major Suit bid tells the partner the Doubler .s hopelessly weak in that suit, but otherwise has good No Trump hand
 Doubling an Initial One No Trump bid tells the partner the Doubler has Two No Trump, and leaves action 10 him.

 PreIiminaries to Bidding

 There are. however, some card values fixed by averages and eXperi- ence, that have become standard. For instance, an ace may be reck- oned as one sure trick. An ace, king Of the same suit. two sure tricks. King, queen, one sure trick because if the ace takes one the other remains highest.

M UNCLE TER-BARsEGH

From My Uncle Ter -Barsegh.' by
 Armen Ohanian, in Asia Magazine.
 My uncle, the priest Ter BarseSh, was not one of the great dignitaries of ths church, who wear the tiara sparkling with sapphires and the scarf enl nlbroidered with pearls. bul he was nevertheless a worthy man and greatly revered by all the will iagers Of zergueran.
 Zergueran, corner of Paradise, door of enternity, bed of angels and cheru- bim. Zergueran, our beautiful Vii- lage from whose terraces one 6azed at the furthest rim of the desert O. Mognan and the white peaks of the Black mountains, In that charming spot amid the bleak rocks of the Cau- casus. my uncle dispensed the cool waters and sweetmeats of the Holy Word.
 Tall majestic. his long hair whit ened by the winters of almost 109 years, he might have been taken foT the patriarch Noah himself, when in the evening he stood on the terrace, watching the sunset walk with gold en feet on the heights above the gorges His eyes were calm and his hands were folded beneath tine long gray beard that swayed against his robe with the gentle motion of a willow bough.
 He knew neither Latin nor Greek. but he was wise man and a scnol- ar. He had only one book, the Bible, which for 80 years had lain unopened, snawed by rats, in his little half ruined chapel, but he knew by heart all the Book of Job, the Song of Songs and the Apocalypse. To these he added visions of his own, worthy of the most saintly hermits of Bibli- cal times. Although, with the pass age of years, he had forgotten even the alphabet. this slight deficiency did not lessen his wisdom or his great Knowledge
 He knew everything, my uncle: he knew the beginning of the world and its end. how and where Paradise had been built and what were the colors of hell. He knew what made the earthquakes that so often shattered our cliffs. He could point out the witches and magic workers who brought down upon us the pests that devoured our flocks and the cholera that desolated our homes. Although he himself was not a sorcerer. he knew how to cast and to take off spells. With what generosity he dis tributed talismans How many holy formulas he knew. to bring us rain during tho dry months or to guard against tempests on vintage days. So highly regarded In heaven was he that when, even by chance, he pro- nounced the name of Saint Karapet or Saint Kirakos a soul lost among the wandering dead passed to the joys Of Paradise.
