IF every automobile owner would
take the trouble to put a private
and secret mark on his machine
as soon as he purchased it there
would be no automobile thefts.

No Car Is Safe.
Steadily increasing numbers of
motor car thefts in recent years have
brought automobile owners face to
face with a menac to property al
most unbelievable in its ramiica-
tons. It is safe to say that no mo-
torcar is proof from theft, and once
II is stolen, unless 1t can be identi-
Ted easily and without loss of time,
II is impossible to ecove it.
By almost superhuman effort on
the part of the police, many stolen
ears are restored to their original
owners The majority of cars re-
turned, however, are those found
abandoned after youthful joyriders
have taken flight. To recover those

The boastful attitude of the con-
victed criminal Is frequently of aid
in rounding UP his companions. In a
recent al a man arrested In one
city for numerous automobile thefts
was brought to a neighboring city
for questioning. When imprisoned In
the other city he had also attempted
to kill a warden in the country Jail

man. Both the accused man and a
companion related the entire story
and how they prepared the sawed-off
shotguns the bandits used in their
unsuccessful attempt. OF the two
men originally arrested charged with
the affair one of them was convicted
and another escaped because the po-
licemen failed to identify him as one
of the group. The story told by the
convicts arrested on other charges
opened up an entirely new field of
investigation.

stolen by professional motorcar
thieves is another proposition.
In tracing a single car, sometimes
detectives uncover a number of other
thefts and succeed in rounding up
organized gangs of motorcar thieves
who have 'drop-off' establishments in
nearby cities. AS many as a hundred
thefts have been traced to one such
group, within a period of six months.
They are the real problem.
The preparation of a stolen motor
car for sale is easily accomplished.
The thieves keep a lookout at some
central point where cars from many
states are likely to be congregated.
When a license from a neighboring
state is noticed they endeavor to pro-
cure the identification numbers from
the engine and other parts of the
car.
Then when q car of the same make
is stolen the thieves Immediately
change the numbers to those they
have secured from the car with the
license tags from another state, rea-
sonably assured that that a has al
ready returned to its own locality and
that therefore they III little chance
of a duplication Of numbers in the
report of a sale to the state motor
car authorities.

considered good radiance" and no
notice would be taken of it. The
question of surprise is how few of
these marriages occurred.
A few years ago a bill was intro
duced In the Legislature, requiring
a license to marry, after the manner
of licenses in other states. A fee of
81 was required and a record of the
marriage is kept in the office of the
Probate Judge. There was bitter
opposition in the House to this bill,
but it finally passed by a small ma
jority.

lar agency" for a group Of motor
thieves. SO complicated was the sys-
tenn, however, and so innocent the
appearance Of the activities Of the
group that a clergyman was dlspos-
ing Of the stolen cars at a great rate,
APPARENTLY without knowledge Of their
origin.
Clergyman Salesman Deluded.
1t was done this way: The clergy
mar purchased a Ford car with a
sedan body and notice of such a
transaction was filed with the state
authorities. The motorcar "a then
sold to a purchaser from another
state and its engine number was sub
stituted on a car stolen in this city.
This circle could be kept up perpet-
ually as long as the stolen car was
sold to a purchaser in another state.
Suspicion was aroused, however,
when the clergyman, through his SAC
complices," made a notation that he
had changed the body Of his car
from a sedan to a touring type. This
notification, required by law. finally
led to an investigation and discovery
OF the thefts and sales of half a
dozen stolen cars. If the thieves had
stolen cars of only the one type with
sedan bodies the substiutions might

An Exhibition Dance.
A dance performed by two grim
warriors fully armed with bows and
arrows and head axes was afame
with the ardor and ecstacies that are
part of warriors movements. They
were brown, brawny and buoyant
and they moved their hands and feet
with swift and deft precision, exhib-
iting all the force and FIRE of the nat
ural cavemen. They we're as lean as
greyhounds, with muscles drawn
across their spare frames like wire
ropes. True to form and as convinc-
ing In feeling as any savage without
table manners or parlor tricks could
be, the taller of the two coiled up
like a watchspr1ng and pounced upon
his enemy, who shivered from crows
nest to waterline under his adver-
sary's attack and proceeded to give
the Sarah Bernhard act of tragic
distress. Looking like trained young
lions prowling in the hills and stalk
ing their victims from the valley be-
low, they disrupted the decorum of
that evenings great family party
with their savage thrusts, attacks
and mad alarms, closing with the
successful capture and final behead-
Ing Of one of the combatants, a feat
which brought down upon their heads
the spirit applause of the enraptured.
This wonderful canao was a mem
orable sight, for there must have
been about 5000 people of all ma
tionalities in attendance, and more
than 100 Igorotes and Ifugaos turned
out and danced for us for an hour.
Spectators stood aghast at the dar-
ing Of the carnivorous revel. Yet,
thanks to the Americans. what 20
years ago might readily have been
an appalling episode, became an in
spired performance. Those who saw
the spectacle will not soon forget
the muscular savages whose 1.-THE
limbs and youthful figures were
marvels of gracefulness, and who, in
repose, were like things of sculp-
tured marble. The whole scene, al
though it might have shocked some
prudish ladies', had, above all, the
saving grace of an artistic impulse.
I looked at the crowd, and closed
my eyes for a moment. What a CO.
incidence! I saw a vision of some
thing familiar. I saw the same old
crowd shivering fanatics build them
selves the same bonfire. 1 saw the
same men preyed upon by the same
night winds; I saw them eat the ia
miliar "hot dog" and wait for the
same gray, chill dawn, but the scene
was not staged in the Philippines. 1t

stalk across the field, martial. digni-

like cement, not eyen a cannon
