MARKS HELP TO
IDENTIFY AUTOS
Locking Devices Are Good Pro-
lection Against Depredations
of MeddIeseme Boys.
few CARS ARE WELL LOCKED
Professional Thief Dlscards License
Plates, Changes Car and Engine
Numbers and ObIiterates
Every Mark.

It is believed that at least one auto
mobile out Of every dozen manufac-
tured and sold is stolen. How many
stolen machines are ever recovered by
their rightful owners Is another ques-
tiOn.
Good locking devices or thief sig
nails. are not to be despised. They are
a sure protection against depredatiOns
by meddlesome boys, and will cause
the automobile thief so much trouble
that he will look for a car that is
easier to take away. Where several
cars are parked this will not be hard
to find. Comparatively few cars are
left we'll locked, and many stand
without being locked at all. Owners
sometimes forget to take the switch
key with them, leaving it in the switch
lock.
Work of Professional.
Should a professional automobile
thief get your car, he will take good
care that you will no. recognize 1t
should you see it again. You know
it now chiefly by it's license plates, car
and engine numbers, and few
scratches, dents and slight peculiari-
ties.
He discards the license plates,
changes the engine and car numbers
and obliterates every mark by which
you might identify your car. Caution
Is his middle name. He likes to tear
down several cars Of the same make
and reassemble them so that no two
Of their principal parts will be found
in any one car together. He has
looked everything over with great care
to see whether your initials are hid
den under a washer. or whether there
are prick punch holes anywhere con-
cealed. Lest you identify some
scratch or dent he may use new fend-
ers and repaint the car.
Way to Secure Car.
If you could make decisive iden-
tification- of a body, frame, engine,
gear case, rear axle housing or front
axle, you would stand the best kind of
q chance to take that car away from
crowd of claimants, even If your
markings could be found on but
Of these parts.
How near can we come to a system
Of invisible markings, unlikely of
chance duplication, and readily dis
coverable by the owner or someone
authorized by him? There is safety
In numbers. Several markings on
each part make it less likely that all
can be obliterated.
Note Of Secret Marks.
Take, for an example, the following
memorandum Of a secret mark: TA
In. horizontally to the left Of center Of
the right engine suspension bolt,
scrape off the paint and find drilled
hole filled with lead"
If you have several such marks,
carefully recorded, on different parts
of the frame, your Identification will
become more positive, as 1t Is highly
improbable that two or more Of these
marks would be accidentally dupli-
| Gated by some other person.
Many other methods Of marking the
car will suggest themselves to the in
ventive owner. It must be remem=
bered, however, that secret Identified
tion marks are worthless unless they
are carefully and exactly recorded and
record Of them preserved.-Henry Il.
