MORE THAN 100000
CARS STOLEN IN SIX
YEARS IN rs CITIES
Nearly Is Per Cent Have
Not Been Recovered,
Figures Show.

st. Louis, March 1.-More than
100000 automobiles were stolen in IS
key cities of the United States in six
years. of which nearly % per cent
have not been recovered. This is
shown in table of figures on thefts
and recoveries made public here to-
day by G. A. Vane, general manager
of the National Automobile Dealers
Association. The cars stolen in 1923
totaled 1852. OF this number 72SS
were uncovered January 1,
The percentage of unrecovered stolen
cars in the IS index cities, for 1923,
was IS per cent, the lowest recorded
since the records have been kept.
Police efforts, certificate of title
laws, registration provisions, all have
had had an effect on the recoveries
of cars in 1923, it is believed. In
spite of the lowest number of unre-
covered cars, 1923 also registered the
highest total number of cars stolen in
six years in those % cities.
Thefts in the index cities totaled
20S,499 cars in six years. The re-
coveries totaled 1882 cars. The to-
tai of cars uncovered is 1857.
These are figures reported to the N. A.
D. A. each year from the official rec
ords Of the police departments. .

ROTH BROTHERS ARE
OFFERING BARGAINS
ON MOTOR OVERHAUL
Forty Motorists to Get Mew
Pistons at Unusually
Lou Cost.

In cooperation with the Kant-Score
Piston Company of CINCINNATI, Ohio,
the Splitdorf Corporation of Chicago,
and the Economy Oil Ring Company
of San Francisco. California, the Roth
Bros. Auto Supply and Machine Com
pany, 81 North Flores street. will be
able to duplicate the offer made a year
ago and give 40 motorists n chance
to obtain a complete motor overhaul
including a set Of the wonderful Kant
Skore Spiral Slot Alloy Pistons with
genuine Splitdorf Peened Piston Rings
and Economy Oil Rings at a price
that is practically one-half the usual
cost.

states. After thorough investigation
the offer has been made as follows
10 Fords. 10 Dodges, 10 Bucks and
10 miscellaneous cars and commercial
trucks, TO be selected at our option,
will be accepted for the complete over
haul and installation OF the Kant
Skore Pistons, Splitdorf and Economy
rings at price that represents actual

cost. Instead of a certain appropria-
ton for advertising, these companies
have agreed to pay small percentage
of the actual cost which will represent
our profit and allow the motorist the
benefit of an actual cost price. This
is an opportunity seldom offered to the
public as it is impossible to cut the
price on labor and parts without sacri-
ficing quality. 1t should be under
stood that this IS not a cut price pro-
position but an opportunity to obtain
a real overhaul at cost price. The
advertising value is tremendous to the
manufacturers and to ourselves as it
has been proven by the fact that the
owners of the 40 cars overhauled last
year have sent us thousands Of dol
lars worth of business during the year.
We can refer with pride to the results
shown by last years work and among
some of the cars overhauled were
those Of w. II. Killingsworth of the
Killingsworth Grain Company, Rex
Logan, of the San Antonio National
Bank, J.. Cristol, of Cristol Shoe
Stores, II. Bergman. Of the National
Bank of Commerce, w. T. Barley. of
the Mcbride Oil Company and L. Pitt
man of the post office. The cars over
hauled for the above gentlemen were
respectively, Buick, Ford, Paige, Hay
mes, Hupmobile and Oakland. Each
job has given perfect service.
''Our labor includes thorough ma
chine shop service such as regrinding,
refitting and testing resulting in mo-
tor that is practically vibrationless and

The annual National Automobile
Shows at New York and Chicago have
proved anew the hold which motoring
has upon the American public.
The shows already held in other
cities, generally under the auspices Of
dealer organizations, have also demon
strated that the age Of individual trans
portation is still in its infancy and
that another record year of sales is in
prospect.
There Is a thrill in all this, not only
for the people who build and market
the cars, but to everyone who recog-
nizes the big fact that the automobile
is our foremost creator of national
wealth.
The marvellous growth Of land val
ues through the demolition of distance,
increased human efficiency due to bet
ter health and the conservation of
time-these and many other things
have established the motor car as all
its most enthusiastic proponents main

For that reason, everybody 10 In

ports indicate that this great Western
metropolis is keen to maintain its po-
sition as a leader in the use of cars.
