MANY AUTOMOBILES
Thieves Work While Car Owners Are
Attending Places OF
Amusement.

Chicago, H. March 16.-Two-th'rds
Of the automobiles stolen here are tax.
n between 1880 and midnight, and by
far the greatest number at 10 o'clock
while their owners are at theaters and
other places OF amusement. according
to the committee on motor car thefts
Of the Chicago Crime Commission
Three hundred and twenty-three per
sons were tried here in connection
with motor car thefts between Janu.
airy / and August 10. 1921.
other observations of the commit.
tee follow
A thief has been known to walk in.
to a large public garage at night and
cover the Waterman and other en-
p'oyes with a gun while he drove
away with the car of his choice. The
thief usually prefers to hold up man
about to put his automobile in a ga
rage, rather than to break into ga
rage after the car is locked up.
BY far the greater number Of stolen
automobiles were taken not because
Of the intrinsic value, but to be used
In various forms of law-breaking.
The large percentage OF thefts seem
to be committed by men or boys un
der the age of twenty-five years.
"The careless and Indifferent mo-
,orlst f. responsible for the loss OF
many cars says the committee.
Many hundreds Of passenger cars
are left standing at the curb in alleys
In yards and other unguarded places
throughout Chicago every night.
Many are not protected by any locking
dew ce or lights Many valuable cars
are left standing along boulevard and
other street. with engines running
whro their owners are elsewhere.
For these reasons the committee eX-
poets good results from action OF IN
surance companies reducing rates IN
motor car thefts and requiring the
owner to accept % per cent of the
loss of the stolen car.
Establishment of parking place
where motor cars may be lett undeI
notice Guard for fee, has in the opin
ion of the committee, done much to re-
luce thefts

STATE NEEDS 5000 OUT
SIDE MEN IN THE FIELDS

While to a considerable extent the
local demand for harvest hands and
threshers has been pretty well cared
for through men usually employed in
the mining industry, now out on
strike, going out to the farms, other
parts of the state are not so fortunate
and it is figured there are 5000 out
of state farm hands needed in Montana
to harvest the present wheat crop, ac-
cording to a letter received Friday
afternoon by f. l.. Jones of the Fails
Commercial club, from George E.
Tucker, director Of the farm labor bu-
reau, the United States department
of labor and the United States en-
pleyment service of Kansas City, Mo.
This number has been reached from
extensive study of the crop con-
ditions and labor needs of this state.
The wheat crop of Montana will be
the second largest in the history of
the state.

have already been taken by the de-

bleachers and to provide for the CON

asked the state architect to prepare a

that each piece of the equipment

to an ultimate and efficient rang

Increased Auto Ii
CenSe is Opposed

John N. Edy, chief engineer of the
state highway commission, in a speech
delivered in Great Falls last Friday
evening, advocated an increase in the
automobile license tax in order that
the state might raise the money with
which to match federal money for
road building purposes in Montana
and which will be withdrawn should
the state be unable to put up its por-
ton
He pointed out that the annual pro
gram of road construction would cost
$4,000, 900, which would complete 400
miles. This would necessitate 10
years of road construction at that rate
to fulfill the present outlined program
of 1000 miles of road which are
scheduled t. be constructed as soon as
possible.
