THIEVES GET $500 MOTOR CARS
IN EIGHTEEN STATES IN YEAR
Reports Of Bureaus Maintained by Insur-
ance Companies Show Recoveries
About so Per Cent.

Seventy-five hundred motor cars
were stolen in eighteen states in the
mid west section of the United States
during a recent twelve month period.
according to the latest report of theft
bureaus maintained by a conference
of old-line insurance companies of the
country. The average of recoveries
for all makes of cars in all states
reported was slightly less than SO
per cent, the percentage varying
widely, according to state and make
of car.
The Cadillac shows the largest per-
centage of recoveries of any make of
car produced on a quantity basis. In
fact, the seasoned veteran of motor
car banditry Is beginning to realize
that the law of averages IS dead
against him IT, in his ambitious mo-
ments he aspireS to the theft OF
Cadillac.
Reasons for High Average.
This high average of recoveries is
due to two unique features. which
have been commented upon most
favorably by motor-car underwriters,
according to Warren NJ. Warner. man

I'VE have an organization here, one
part of which is set aside to aid in
the recovery of stolen cars states
Mr.. Warner "In addition, we have
system of secret symbols of car
identification so effective that We
have yet to hear of Cadillac eight
cylinder car which has been stolen
and which we have been unable to
identify. if given the opportunity to
check over our secret signs
I'VE have one man here continued
Mr.. Warner. who devotes his entire
time to aiding in the recovery of
stolen cars, by kilograms, by long dis
tance calls and by correspondence
with police, sheriffs, the federal De-
partment of Justice, insurance COM

dealers and owners in every part of
the United States.

WAIT, DRIVERS TOLD.
Warned of Accidents Resulting
From Quick Getaway.

So many accidents have resulted
from accidental starting of cars in
traffic that careful drivers no longer
seek to make a quick getaway by
waiting with the clutchi out and the
gears in low" The result of this
safety mearure is that many of them
now have difficulty in starting quickly
when the signal is given to go. After
throwing out the clutch pedal on
some cars it is frequently necessary
to either wait a few moments until
the clutch plates come to rest or
force the gears into mesh with a
fearful racket. If drivers would
simply leave the gears in neutral and
hold out the clutch pedal when wait
ing in traffic there would be no dam
ger Of accidental starting nor any
difficulty in shifting to rloW" and
making a quick getaway.

card useful garments in favor of
clothing more stylish The economic
structure of the country is so planned
that each worker earns sufficient
margin of wealth to take care of this
demand for artificially created styles
Because styles in automobiles are
invaria bly, improvements it is obvious
that this time-honored process will
operate more smoothly in the case of
the automobile. Every improvement
in an automobile means greater
safety through perfection of con-
troll more comfort through increased
utility and lower operating expense
through efficiency. If the public is
willing to pay for styles when they
crafty a desire for something
new" why should it hesitate to pay
for styles that pay dividendsn

TELLS HOW TO TURN,
Motorist Advised on Use of Horn
at Corners.

The difficulty of finding hands
enough to touch the horn button when
turning street corner and shifting
gears can be solved by grasping the
wheel with either hand near the top
of the wheel. touching the horn but
ton with the forearm or elbow. Ere
quently in turning corner both
hands are required on the wheel in
order to steer ginSerly through a
flock of impatient pedestrians In
such cases grasping the wheel near
the top not only offers an opportunity
of blowing the horn without remov-
ing one hand from the wheel, but
actually makes it easier to steer.

DANGER ON CURVES,

Any driver who stops his car on a
curve or who attempts to pass an
other car there indulges in one of the
most reprehensible practices of the
road user. To those guilty
of doing this when not driven to it
by necessity no ordinary punishment
can be considered as being too drastic

SPEEDOMETER TROUBLES.

Does your speedometer make an
annoying racket? Run your hand
along the shaft tubing under the dash
and see that the bends are gradual
There is probably too sharp a bend
somewhere.

DETROIT BOYS SEE NORTH
 WITH MILLIONAIRE GUIDE

George Buchanan, Detroit million aire, arrived in Alaska recently with party of Detroit boys who are get ting their first glimpse of Alaska through the generousity of their wealthy escort. The youthful trav- elers touched at Ketehikan, Juneau and other towns in Southeastern Alaska, and made sightseeing trip into the Lake Atlin country.
 The boys range all the way from eleven years of age to nineteen. Of the POS lads that started out a year ago to earn by their own efforts the required one-third of the S400-the approximate cost of the trip-99 succeeded. The remain ing 40 boys will take the tour next year as their parents told MT. Buch- anan that they felt they were too young to get the full benefit of the trip if they took it this year Already 100 first-class reservations have been made for next year, for Buchanan has decided to make this an annual event for the boys of Detroit. who are ambitious and willing to work for it.
 There are just a few conditions attached to the gift-the boys are required not only to earn the money but to save 1t, and it is understood that they must always be courteous to others. If a boy proves to be dis honest or untruthful, he is dropped. No reason is given him. It is thought best to allow him unaided to come to full realization of why he has forfeited the pleasure. Some of the boys on this trip are rich mems sons, but they had to earn their one-third the same the poor boys. Mir Buchanan was amazed a year ago to find how few boys in his city saved anything.
 Last year George Buchanan took his first personally conducted to Alaska consisting of two boys, 76 and IS years old They enjoyed it hugely but it proved to be not only their first but their last trip, as during the past year they both took the long trail beyond. The memory of their pleasure in the trip, caused Buchanan to first think of giving some boys the same plea sure.
 A first prize of $50 and four other prizes making total of s165 have been offered by Buchanan to the boys writing the best account of the trip.

WHALE HUNT IS PROMISED
 FRISCO PARTY ON BUFoRD

Battling with and capturing a mammoth whale is the attraction promised the excursionists who are seeing Alaska and Siberia on the steamship Buford according to the Seattle Post Intelligencer.
 Direct from Nome, as a part of its forty days cruise, the steamer is to proceed northward to the Boring Strait into the Arctic ocean and thence to the ice pack
 A walrus herd, running into the hundreds of thousands herded on the vast foe of ice, polar bears and a sightseeing expedition to East Cape Siberia; a view of the largest seal rookeries in the world, operated by the United States government, are other numbers arranged for the nov el sightseeing program.
 The excursion, which will be made up in San Francisco and Seattle, will include a visit to Prince Rupert, Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, Sitka, Cordova, Cold Bay, thence skirting the shore of the Alaskan Peninsula, past the largest sea lion rookeries in the North Pacific, to Dutch Har- Dor and Unalaska.

ALTERED VIEWS

Emma Goldman pythoness of so- cialistic prophecy and high priestess of that philosiphy, from her du- bious haven in Berlin cries out a. gainst the cruel barabarity of MT. Deb's friends in Russia says the Cincinatti Enquirer. Miss Goldman says the world cannot longer remain indifferent to the horor of the Sow jet prison. She says that Moscow a. lone holds in cruel and fostering durance more than 15,000 unfortun- ate human beings whose crime was that they dared differ from the views of the Soviet leaders.
 Miss Goldman probably is right as to her facts. She should know. She has many friends among the prisoners who-so she says in many instances are choosing suicide rather than longer endure their tortures. T. Is asserted that sixty per cent of these prisoners consist of workingmen and peasants and forty per cent of the intelli- gentzia. Visits by friends are borbid- den absolutely. The firing squads are kept adequately busy. Execu- tions take place in the prison morgue. Most of the guards are drunk. Tuberculosis, scurvy and ty- phoid are prevalent. Unthinkable indignities are suffered by the pr,- soners.
 So goes the tale of Emma former Y an eloquent and persistent advo- cate of Bolshevism in this capital istic' republic, which she still thinks she could improve, and to which she very ardently desires to return.
 Perhaps Mr. Debs and his friends here will take Emma to task for thus exposing, or slandering, those gentle and humane leaders whose ears heard not the cry of starving millions, who for "the security of the state and the well-belng of the proletariat" mercifully murdered the servants of the church, and whose chief animaing spirit even now dreams of filling the skies with death-yomiting planes with which he hopes 10 bring the gentiles of capitalism. the lovers of liberty and law to their knees in subpection to the beneficent rule of the "saviours of Russia.
