In the Motor World
BY G. ADAMS HOWARD.

theft, while others, while setting
up barriers against the regiStra-
tfon of stolen cars, provided no
means at all for the tracing of
stolen or converted cars after once
registered. Only very few stat
uteS provided for the broadcaSting
Of information on stolen cars, and
fewer still provided for the use OF
such information received from
other States. The committee
foaad in the model anti-theft act
an excellent combination OF the
desirable features of most of the
anti-theft laws studied.
Adequate Theft Information.
Under this model anti-theft act
police report theft losses to the
State motor vehicle department,
where lists of losses and recov-
cries are regularly published by
motor and serial numbers and
furnished to each local sheriff and
police department and to the mo-
tor vehicle department Of each OF
the several States. A record is
maintained of all cars reported
CbOACA NY 4O\nA POAAOC 90 WCA 40
by the motor vehicle departments
Of other States. This information
is available to the police through
out the State and permits the
quick Identification of abandoned
or stolen cars coming under police
observation.
This model anti-theft act also
provides for the croSSindeXing by
motor number and by serial num-
ber OF all cars registered. Such
indexes are permanent and are
not simply croSS-indeXeS compiled
annually. They identify registered
cars regardless Of the registration
plate number which changes an
nually and regardless of persons
claiming title other than the
owner Of record. Just as land
registration laws by recording the
owner and description of parcels
of land prevent fraud and protect
the owner, so do these permanent
indexes by motor and serial num-
berS Of all cars registered describe
the car in the shortest, most prac-
tical way and protect the owner
and prevent fraud. The model act
also makes crime the alteration
OF motor or serial number, and
this adds dependability to the de-
scription of cars by motor and
serial numbers.
Ownership Checked.
The model anti-theft act besides
requiring indexes by motor and by
serial numbers Of all cars regis
tered, as well as of all cars report
ed stolen, provides that all appli-
cations other than for annual
renewal registration shall be
checked against these indexes
Only one-third or less of the total
annual registration needs to be
checked, since two-thirdS of the
registration annually consists of
renewals, which, having been
originally checked, are omitted
provided evidence of the original
check is submitted. In States
where local registration is au-
thoriZed all annual renewals may
be made locally without reference
to the central office.
The model uniform anti-theft
act provides for the issuance of a
certificate of title upon approved
applications, good for the life OF
the car or until ownership
changes. The certificate upon
transfer Of ownership is indorSed
by the owner and delivered to the
tranSferee, who SurrenderS it, with
an application for a certificate of
/ title in his own name.

POISONED BY FOOD
AT Church PICNIC
Four EdgeIey Persons Still in
Serious Condition But
Will Recover
SANDWICHES ARE BLAMED
Believe Pressed Chicken, Used
for Filling, Caused Epidemic
Of Ptomaine Poisoning
SANDWICHES ARE BLAMED

Edgeley. N. D.. June 22.-tR-About
80 persons are recovering today from
ptonaine poisoning caused from eat
Ing chicken sandwiches at a church
luncheon at q farm home near here
last week.
-Four persons are still in q serious
condition, but no fatalities N ex-
pected. Illness did not occur until "a
hours after the luncheon at the Mast
farm Is miles north Of Edgeley.
Symptoms developed by the pa
tients indicate definitely that they
are suffering from ptomaine poison
ing and not from bctulism, according
to hospital attaches here.
The illness was traced to the sand
witches, made of pressed chicken. A
sample of the food however could not
be obtained today for analysis.
DR.. J. E. Scanlon, Edgeley. the only
physician in town at the time of the
illnesses, ministered to the needs Of
the stricken people.

a poison. The chicken was prepared
by removing the bones fror: the
cooked fow! and pressing the meat.

sored the dinner at the farm home.
Persons from Edgeley and vicinity
were present.
A number of children became i'll
but with less serious effects than
adults. The degree of illness appear
ed to be in proportion to the amount
Of chicken eaten by those present.
Two persons were taken to a hos
pital here where they were said to be
out of danger Monday, while two 9TH
ers were seriously i'll at their homes.
