Asks Public to
Aid in Rounding
Up Car Thieves

Because of the many high grade
stolen automobiles which have re.
ccnctly been recovered from private
garages where they have~ been stor-
ed, by the Automobile Club of South
ern California, G. G. Tucker, local
manager of the Ell Centre office
desires to warn the public of the law
requiring owners of private garages
that they must report to the police
information regarding all tenants.
Mr.. Tucker advises that this re-
port must show make of ear, license
number, motor number, name and
address of owner, and date of rent
al. Regular blanks for filing such
information are TO be had at the
office of the club on Main street,
where such information should be
turned in. The state law provides
that i'll suburban districts, such
rentals should be reported to the
sheriff of the county.
MIR. Tucker states that experience
of the past few weeks indicates
many are either ignorant of the
law, or negligent. He stated that
he feels citizens who really want
to cooperate III the war against
automobile thieves may lend great
aid if they will not only report
rentals of garages, but all eircum.

Service Men Are Urged
to Investigate First

Watson B. Miller, chairman of the
American Legion National Rehabilita-
ton committee, has issued statement
warning former service men with dis
ability claims before the United States
veterans bureau against coming per-
sonally to Washington to appeal their
cases without first securing definite
information that their papers are in
Washington.
Under the new reorganization of the
veterans bureau all files of papers
have been sent out to the regional Of
fees of the bureau and no action can
be secured in washington on these
cases until the papers have been re-
turned. Mr.. Miller points out that men
go to Washington to press their claims
without sufficient funds to sustain
them until their papers arrive in Wash
ington, and soon find themselves in
desperate circumstances. The Legion
and other agencies in the city are not
able to care for the normal load Of
transient former. service men arriving
in Washington without funds on one
mission or another.

future" declared Mrs. o. D. Oliphant.

gion auxiliary, in announcing that the
auxiliary would cooperate nationally
with the American Home Economics
association in the instruction and adj
vancement of home economics. Mrs.
Oliphant continued:
''The girl who can make her own up
to-date, stylish frocks and then put on
her apron and cook dinner, may be
considered old-fashioned, but, in my
opinion, she's a real winner. There is
no greater need than for us to get
hack to homework and home-cooking.
Let us stand by the home girl In the
interest of community and national
stability the auxiliary is going to CO.

economics and administration"
