Help Prevent
Theft of Cars

nett OF dutOmODlleS can be ef-
fectively checked by the passage of
title registration laws by the various
states is the opinion expressed by
William j. Burns, head Of the Bureau
Of Investigation Of the L. :. Depart
ment Of Justice. in reply to an in
QuirY made of him by the American
Automobile Association. Mr. Burns
believes that the successful expert
oncc of the States which have enact
ed adequate title registration and
title certificate laws have indicated
this solution of the automobile theft
problem.
That the passage Of such n law by
all Of the States with the assistance
OF the Dyer or National Automobile
Theft act which makes interstate or
interna tiOnal traffic in stolen cars n
Federal Omcnsc will reduce the theft
of cars to a minimum, was the Opin-
ion expressed by officials of the A. A.
y. over four years ago when the gov
erning body Of that organization
strongly advocated the passage Of the
Dyer Anti-theft Law. The results
which have been obtained by the Blu
reau of Investigation Of the Depart
mont of Justice under the direction
OF Mr.. Burns during the four years
Of its operation Indicate the value of
the Dyer law. The annual report of
the Department of Justice as to the
work done by Mr.. Burns Bureau in
this regard is expected to show that
during the four years many millions
Of dollars worth Of stolen automobiles
have been returned to their owners
with thousands of convictions &C
co'npan:ed by prison sentences.
In such states as Maryland and
Michigan where thorough title regis
tration laws are in effect. Mr.. Burns
points out that it is almost impossi-
bic TO sell car stolen within the
borders Of that state as the thief or
fence" is unable to furnish n clear
certificate of title. "This does not

MEXICO CITY, Sept. S.--The ex- odus of Sun Gazers bent upon seeing or picturing the total eclipse of the sun Monday has begun with the states of Durango and Chihuahua as the objective.
 Many Americans as well as Mex jeans are going to vantage points to witness the spectacle, numbers of them taking camping outfits with the expectation of camping out for several days.
 Early Sunday special trains will begin running from here to Yerbaniz where the German astronomers and the Swarthmore college expedition from the United States have pitched camp. These trains also will carry passengers to other points where Mexican astronomers and scientists from all the leading countries have set up equipment.

To Cultivate Them.
By GEORGE B. M,vAY, sR.


 In The Age Herald of September }, on page five, appears full page ad by the great publishing house of The Curtis Publishing company, pup fishers of The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies Home Journal, Country Gentleman and other constructive lit erature. The caption of the article is, For Business Men and Bankers To Think About" Very well, but the article contains meat that every southern farmer, laborer or profes- sional man should consider. This article on over production of wheat should be in every persons hand. The big factors are here summarized: Wheat represents only per cent of the total value of farm products. Relatively few farmers depend sole ly upon wheat for their income. That about half the wheat consumed in tl4is country is bought by farmers themselves in the form of flour. bran, mill feed, etc. The object of the ar ticle Is evidently to create public opinion opposing the vast propaganda that has for it's purpose to induce the government to come to the res cue of the wheat farmer and thus cause the public to pay more for their daily bread.
 TURNIP A SOUTHERN VEGETABLE
 There are millions of pounds of turnfp seed consumed Tn the UnlIeu States, in other words, planted. It might be interesting to know that more than 75 per cent of the vast quantity used is planted in the southern states. The Yankees plant few turnips and mostly for the roots. They cannot and never will understand why the southerner likes potlicker, corn bread, greens, butter milk and fat piece of bacon on the side. All true southerners will agree that this is some living. Every body in the south ought to have his turnip patch. It requires nightly little ground to produce enough greens for the small family. l know d lady who lives in a Birmingham apartment, with no available ground for garden, but She has four splendid window boxes which she employs in the fall of the year for the production of lettuce, mustard, turnips and even onions. Enough to make her independent of the vege- table market.

SILVER WEDDING
FETE CHANGES
To GOAL
Husband Gives Wife Three
Tons to Keep Warm Marital
Relations Through Winter.

1t used to be called the silver
anniversary when two people had
weathered married life for twenty
five years. But now it is nothing
Jess than the coal anniversary.
This, at least, sis the philosophy of
Harry F.. Reuling and his wife,
Louise Reuling, who today are cele-
brating their quarter of century
together.
In lieu Of the silver gifts. which
mark such occasions, ReuIing in
tends to buy his wife three tons of
coal, which .he will need to pro-
long the matrimonial bliss over
winter, he says.
Reuling, a salesman at the Mayer
Furniture Company, residing with
his wife and three of his children
at 500 Four-and-a-Half street south
west, was married in st. Johns
Lutheran Church. His oldest son,
Walter H., twenty-five, was recent
ly married. The others are Charles
H, twenty; Alma Marguerite, eight
cen, and Irwin Francis, nine.
Mrs. Reuling is q native. of this.
city. Reuling was born in Balti-
more. but at an early age, came
to Washington, where he has since
resided. He is for1y-two years old.

WIFE PLAYING DEAD
SAVED FROM BULLETS

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Playing
dead saved the life of Mrs. Rosa
Ursitti when her husband fired
five shots at her for staying out
late with her parents at a wed
ding.
One of the shots struck her in
the back, causing a slight flesh
wound. She then fell to the street
whereupon her husband, Pasquale,
fired four more shots, all of which
went wide of the mark. She lay
motionless and, as she hoped, Pas,
quale thought her dead. He walked
eastward on Broome street and
was cornered by Patrolman Reilly
of the Oak street station, who fired
three shots in the air to make
him stop, and Policeman Morano
who came from an opposite direc-
ton.
After treatment by DIR. Rosenthal
of the Beckman street hospital,
Mrs. Ursitti went home.
