BOTH WILD AND MAD

In Enid, Okla, there is collector
of curiosities, peculiar to the state,
His line ranges from indian mocas-
sins to live coyotes. In fact, he ham
dies anything that might appeal to
the romantic impulses and purposes
of easterners.
This dealer's store window recent
ly attracted the interested attention
of a portly salesman who was stroll
ing about the town in company with
the Kansas City man. With this
obese travelling man TO pause was TO
sit. The only convenient seat in this
case was the box on the sidewalk
in front of the store window. A piece
of burlap had been spread over it.
The portly ons had just settled
himself comfortably to enjoy the win
dow display when his companion
heard a snarling scream from with
in the box and almost simultaneously
the fat man was seen rising high in
the air, propelled by his own sturdy
legs. A howl from him mingled with
the falsetto one which emanated from
beneath the burlap.
Subsequent investigation developed
that the box was really crate con-
tanning a temperamental wildcat about
to be shipped east The animal had
been seized with an impulse to test it's
lungs and claws at about the time
the salesman placed the posterior
part of his anatomy so convenient
for claw testing.

CAR OWNERS! BE
SURE To REMOVE
ROCKS ON GRADE

How many motorists who stall
their engines on a mountain grade
or stop because of a boiling radia-
tor, and who place stone under
one of the rear wheels to hold the
car. ever take the trouble to throw
the stone off the road when they
proceed on their way? This is a
question that has probably never
occurred to the average car owner
except when he encounters some
huge rocks scattered along
grade. He then straiahtway pro-
ceeds to lose what little religion
he may have.
Many fatal and fatal acci-
dents are caused by the careless
ness of drivers on mountain
grades, in leaving stones in the
roadway. When a car owner
finds his radiator boiling over on
a tough grade he usually stops
the car and lets it cool off. To
help the brakes he will often get
out. secure large boulder and
place it under one of the rear
wheels.
That's all we'll and good. But
he should not forget to rolk the
stone off the road when he re-
sun es his upward climb. Many
of these rocks are to be found
right on turn. Along comes a
nnotorist down the grade. rounds
the curve. sees the stones in the
road, tries to steer clear of them,
runs near the edge or into the
bank and either goes over the
chasn or comes nearly doing il.
A practical illustration of the
careIessness and ignorance of
many car drivers may be seen on
the Copper Basin grade of the
Wickenberq road to Prescott and
on the Black Canyon road, II
hardly seems that carelessness is
responsible for these acts of mo-
torists. There are some people
who do not care how much danger
they put in other peoples way. In
fact there is a large percentage of
this class running loose, and they
will deliberately resume their
journey and leave rocks and tim
bers in the road when they know
absolutely that wreck and per-
haps death can be caused by their
action.
Recently the death of a young
lady occurred on the Mill Greek
road between Big Bear Lake and
San Bernardino, California. Many
other accidents, some fatal have
happened on the same road
through the presence of rocks on
the road. The county traffic Of
fcer there is now conducting q
campaign of education for mo-
torists which is bound to accomp-
lish good results. The same thing
must be done in Arizona. Every
motorist should get behind the
Quns.

The month of May was record

The fact that all production figures

LITTLE CHANCE:
POSSIBLE FOR
CAR RECOVERY

Could you recognize your own car,
if it were stolen?
Before answering with positive
yes" remember this:
The professional auto thief covers
m ALI possible traces of identifica-
ton. He repaints the car, changes
the serial numbers on the engine
and chassis, searches out all other
tell-tale marks to change or abolish
them. and in fact rebuilds the entire
machine
What chance is there for the mo-
torist whose car has been stolen, to
identify it? Little, say police and
insurance men. They back up their
claim by citing instances wherein
several car owners brought to head
quarters to identify their cars. picked
the same automobile as their own.
Autos Rebuilt
Slight imperfections in certain
cars are not certain means of identi-
fication. The experienced crook
takes his stolen cars to what is prac-
tically a rebuilding factory, alters
the entire mechanism and changes
parts with similar parts of other
cars OF the same make. Practically
a new car is turned out.
Most practical means of identify
ing your car, according othose who
have studied this problem, is left to
the owners ingenuity. Individual
marks stamped on various parts of
the chassis and engine afford the
surest way of picking your own car
after 1t has been stolen.
Individual Marks
Punch your initials on the fly
wheel, on the inside of the axles,
and other such spots not readily dis
cernible. Then rug them with grease
so they viii not be seen easily.
Or, at a set place measured off
from a permanent mark, punch
hole. fill it 9Th lead and smear the
spot well with grease. Location of
this mark, if the car has been re-
covered after theft. would be certain
proof of ownership.
