NEW STUDEBAKER
LOCK PREVENTS
AUTO THEFTS

The coincidcntal lock on all Stn-
Gchakcr automobiles, Il lock that
controls both ignition and steering
y heel by pressing Il small lever, an
>wcrs one of the problems of the
nlrrwritcrs Bureau in curtailing
automobile thcfts. it is stated III Il
litter just received by the lmpcrlal
Valley Motors CO.. local Studchaker
agents.
According to bulletin just issued
hv the Insurance Committee for
the National Automobile Chamber
oi Commerce.. one of the greatest
causes for automobile thcftS n
America is the failure of owners to
lock their cars. And the reason for
this negligence is the inconvcnicneo
of locking devices on most motor
cars, saws the bulletin
\ quarter of million automo-
bilrS valued nj S3lS,oG0,0oo were
stolen in 1925. OF these only 30
Ior cent were recovered. leaving an
unrrcovcrcd loss of %3j,0o0,0 goo,
\, hirh does not include the loss IN
CURED in repairing, recovering and
establishing ownership of stolen
ears.
"Strong emphasis placed on the
human equation indicates that locks
which can be operated with greater
C., rvrnicncc than the older types
would tend to reduce thefts, the
y. \. c. c. bulletin points out.
Studcbakcr engineers anticipated
this need more than a year ago
when the coincidcntal lock was
adopted. This lock is located on
the steering post. The owner of
the car can make his vehicle thief
proof by pressing small lever and
removing the key. That operation
locks the steering wheel in a fixed
position and shuts off the ignition.
There is Il separate ignition switch
- allow the ignition to he turned
off and on. If desired, without af-
feeling the steering wheel lock.
The lock is easy to operate, easy
to find. and is practically impos-
sihlr to break.
The same key that unlocks the
steering wheel and ignition opens
the doors Of the ear and controls
the lock on the spare tire carrier.
Thus the owner need carry onlt one
key. The locking device is so sim
pie that he is under practically m
Inconvenience and will rarely. If
ever, neglect To lock his ear.

 One fact was proven concisively in the game, the local boys have stamina and lots of fight, which is half of any battle. It was a pleasure for the many spectators to watch the home boys in the first real battle of the season and gives them good idea what they can expect against the high ly touted Alaska College team from Fairbanks, which plays next Saturday night The game was very fast and it was a difficult task for either one of the referees, Jones and Berger to watch the speedy plays. With but one exception neither team squawked about any decision. The fact that no player was injured, even temporary, testl- fies to the fact, though it was a rough session, it was remarkably clean game.

Seward won the basketball game from the Soldiers Saturday night,
 but 1t was anybodys game almost un- til the final blast of the timekeeepers whistle. The count then showed Sew ard had run up a scant margin of one
 over their adversaries or 27 to 26. The game was marked by fast, furious and
 rough tactics, the latter principly, on
 the part of the visitors. Clever field shots were made by both squads, also
 some nifty passing and team work. Considering the game 24 hours later the opinion is expressed they were pretty evenly matched.
 For the Seward city team the laur- els go to Clark Andresen, who flashed
 in and out of almost every play; to
 Willis who was responsible for four field baskets, and to Nip" Johnsen
 who unloaded one of the best games the fans have watched him work John son, like Andresen, his smaller team mate, was everywhere and broke up
 play after play as we'll as showing over three field baskets tossing in one from the foul line. Andresen was push ed around something awful by the op- position but not for a minute did he slow up. Time after time he was seen to emerge from a fracas, staggering backwards, but only for a moment, for in he would leap again. Galloway, Stevenson and McEwen were far from being absent in the game for they were in there, hammar and tongs at all times. The rough stuff did not seem to phase these men much, nor
