long as motorists forget to use
their locking devices, SO long az

sale and transfers of ownership can
be forged and so long as people

The car owner has a dual role to
play in defeating this menace, and
the fact that he is succeeding In

gets 'em. Every time we had a hot
day this past summer more chaps
would come in here than could pos
sibly take care Of We could go for
days Of cool weather without havin'
occasion to tighten a single fan belt.
I'm wonderin' whether it's goin' to
be the same situation this fall when
few chilly days bring their own
troubles. We always have a pile CT
radiator and pump work the minute
motorists have to put in anti-freeze
solutions and find that they can't
have any success while the system
leaks. A lot of 'em have to be disap-
pointed for the simple reason that we
haven't been able as yet to do two
jobs at once.
Every time we get rainy day
can figure on an onslaught OF jobs
adjustin' brakes. fixin' windows and
attachin' windshield wipers. Nobody
useems to figure when the suns out
vthat a rainy day may be In the wind.
There're some people around here
who will keep usin' their cars
through a weeks rain and never fig

want to take a week end trip the car
may be shy Of grease In many vital
spots. Just as soon as the sun peeps
out they all flock in here to have

| have been done some afternoon the
week before.
The wise owner figures that to be
prepared for changes in the weather
Is to be runnin' with a car that is in
the best of condition all the time. He
gets double service out of each trip

Chinese Students
Like u. S. Too Well

Picking, Sept. s CA. P.)-The Amer
lean Legation has taken cogniZance
Of an apparently authentic report
that the ministry of education has
issued instructions to authorities in
the provinces to cut down the quota
of students to be sent to America I.
IN recent years there have been
too many private students going to
America" the ministry in question Is
alleged to have said in its commun-
ication to the provinces. During the
last Is months the number Is equal
to 81 per cent Of the total number Of
students going abroad. The reason
why most of the students go to Amer
lea is that they easily obtain admis-
sion into American colleges where
they become special students. In two
or three years they return to China,
being considered to have graduated.
Although there are not a few who
go to the United States to obtain a
real education. a ma jority go simply
10 get degree. Even IL the stand
ard OF education in the United States
Is higher than in other countries. the
number Of students should be re-
strlcted, otherwise 1t may result in
the setting up of a special intellec-
tual influence in the country.
NOW with the enforcement of the
new American immigration law there
Is the more reason to check Chineses
students from going there. Begin

IMMENSE RETURNS FROM TAXES
ASSESSED ON AUTOMOBILES IN U, {

Warrington, d. c.. Oct 10-Auto-
mobiles registered in the various
states during the first months Of
1924 amounted to 15.S52,077, an in
crease of 20To over the same period
for last year. according to the figures
just received from the National
Headquarters of the American Auto
mobile Association at Washington.
These figures are the result Of the
semi-annual count made by the U.
S. Bureau of Public Roads.
There were registered during the
first months of the year 1S,645.I26
passenger cars: 1,S3l,405 motor
trucks and 74.946 taXis. BUSES and
cars for hire. 1t Is estimated that
before the end of the year the total
number of all classes Of cars in use
on the streets and highways of this
country will exceed 100000.
In each of the four states there are
over a million motor vehicles regis
tered from January l TO July. l, 1924.
New York leads with 1885 CAL
ifornia comes second with 1,1S4.015:
Ohio third with 1.160.000; and Penn
sylvania fourth with LOSSES. Him
ois will no doubt pass into the mil
lion class for the first time before
the end of the year. During the first
months of tais year there were
registered in that state total OF
9S6.4S0 cars.
The total receipts from registration
fees. licenses and permits amounted
to S199.472.6So. and from the gasoline
tax in thirty-siX states S32,430,410. II
Is expected that the receipts from reg
