Power transportation, applied cor
rectly, begins where everything has al
ways commenced since the world be-
gan, right from the soil-lowering costs
of producing any commodity which you
sell or which you buy.
AS you are both a producer and con-
sumner you are concerned with the
difference between what you sell for
and what you pay.
Your profit is not from the consum-

of producing and laying what you pro-

Every possible effort to protect mo-
torists and to curb auto thefts will be
made this summer by the Automobile
Club of Southern California, according
to an announcement just issued.
Motor car stealing in the southern
part of the state is reaching the apex
of its annual activity at this season,
and the recovery of stolen ears is be-
coming more difficult as the art of
the thieves becomes perfected, it is
stated.
More than $l,0OO0OO worth of autos
have been stolen in the southern conn
ties since January !, according to the
clubs theft bureau and only $4,000
worth have been recovered. This is
not because Of inactivity on the part
Of the authorities, say the officials, but
because the thieves are becoming more
closely organized.
A check is to be kept on all ears
leaving California at any Of the points
of exit, and particularly along the
Mexican border. Special officers have

Official u. S. Reports Pr0Ue
Prosperity Returns To Nation

WASHINGTON, May 4.-President
Harding's conference on unemployment
reports that during the month just
passed the ratio between job and job
hunters has decreased, there being 1G0
seekers for every 100 jobs, as compared
with 220 unemployed for every oppor-
tunity at the beginning of the year. In
January A per cent of unemployed
could find work, whereas now 62 per
cent can find places. With the jobless
estimated as 100000, the figures work
out to the opening Of opportunities for
an army of 100000 men.
Further evidence of returning pros
perity is seen at the Capital in the
growing numbers of travellers who ask
for passports for foreign journeys
So geat is the rush for the little green
covered evidences of American citizen.

Haze You Picked Any Wild
FlOWers With The Auto Yet:

Mr.. Motorist-have you picked your
spring wildflowers yets
Everybody is doing it. Auto owners
are going wild about wildflowers this
year ~ never before in history, ac
cording to the Auto Club of-Southern
California.
And wildflowers in Southern Califor-
MIA have never been so prolific nor so
beautiful as at the present time, it is
reported From the Mexican border
on the south to the northern confines
Of this territory, motorists are daily
making up picnic parties to 60 out and
enjoy the spring flowers brought on by
April showers.
Poppy fields are glowing in almost
every county in the southern portion
Of the state. Any county bordering on
the desert is fortunate, as the desert
is blooming now like q natural garden.
1t is one Of the phenomena Of nature
according to emminent horticulturists.
An unusually heavy rainfall this
season explains the great growth of
flowers of all kinds in the meadows
and on the hillsides. But the wild
flower season will be short, lasting only
two or three weeks at the most, and
so motorists are urged by the club tour
ing bureau to get out and see them at
once while the seeing is good.
Hundreds of requests are received
every day by the Auto Club offices,
and so some special information has
been prepared for those who wish ITO
know how the poppy fields or other
wildflowe-s haunts can best be reached.
In case yOn are in doubt where to tour
to see nature at its best now; call the

has jurisdiction over granting them,

creasing, o further evidence of real
prosperity. The fall in the cost of
living nLprincipal cities, between June
100, and March, 1922, the department
estimated, was greatest in Detroit
where it amounted to 26 per cent. In
New York the decrease was 22.5 pei
cent in the same period, and in Chicago
231 per cent. The smallest decrease
found was in, Los Angeles, where it was
14.5 per cent.

been delegated by the Auto club to this
task.
Motorists themselves are being warn
ed at all club offices that they must
not for a moment leave their car un
uocked when parking it, as the thieves
get in their 'dirty work. within
three minues after the owner leaves the
car. Carelessness on the part Of auto
owners is attributed as the principle
reason for the great increase in thefts
here.
Auto owners are also requested to
report the loss of ear at once instead
Of delaying, as the first hour is the
most valuable in the work Of recovery.
Tactics which match those en-
ployed in the days of horse stealing
will be employed in the capture of auto
thieves, and no mercy will be shown
the thieves this summer or at any time
in the future. Seven detectives are
now employed by the club in the ap-
prehension Of thieves and the recovery
of stolen ears.

tx" Series GMC Trucks
One to FiUe Ton C0D0citu

From time to time during it's years
of successful truck building the General
Motors Truck Company has developed
and refined it's product, introducing fea-
lures of motor truck construction that
have come to be recognized as standard
by the industry. But at no time in it's
history, or in fact in the history of the
industry generally, has there been offer
ed to the public line of motor trucks
enbodying such new and practical fea-
lures as are to be found in the X series
of GMC trucks.
GMC engineers have brought into
being a motor truck engine that offers
more power at lower fuel consumption
than any former truck engine of like size.
They have built this engine particularly
for motor truck usage, bearing in mind
the fundamental requisites of success for
such an engine-economy of operation,
surplus power, and quick accessibility for
readjustment and replacement, with con-
sequential lowered costs for this work.
1t has such new features as remov-
able cylinder sleeves-making new cyl

out any complicated machinery and, with
out tearing down the entire engine Wear
on cylinder walls and pistons has been
reduced to minimum. A powerful
positive pressure oil system insures a
perfect fabrication and there are many
other minor refinements, designed to
make this GMC engine perform perfectly
day after day.
And to the marked superiority that
this new engine gives to GMC trucks has
been added in all models above one ton
capacity new and revolutionary trans
mission which gives these trucks the
speed desired for smooth roadways, and
by shift of a single lever produces the
power necessary for the heaviest pulling

fore possible only with an engine of such
size as to make it's operation cost pvac-
tically prohibitive
The GMC Two-Range transmission
is, we believe, a new step in motor truck
development. 1t is simple and at the
same time has given to GMC trucks thirty
per cent more speed and like amount
of pulling power, over and above what
could possibly be developed with an or
dinary selective type transmission.
