AUTOSTEALING Seven Thousand Machines Un-| covered in Chicago Alone Last | Year, Is Claim. Auto stealing is becoming a bu: ness profession in Chicago and i that city lyst year 7,000 cars were stolen of which recovery was not} made. The people interested in that line have different methods of secur- ing the cars, and it is almost impo: ible at times for a person to tell his car in pessing five minutes after it disappears. One gang made a. specialty of stealing Ford cars. The method was simple. Driving up aiongside of an-| other Ford they would take out a canvas’ covering which fits nicely over the car, and carries some 2dvertising| words, and as soon as placed away | one of the gang would go with it, making it impossible almost for th owner to claim his car should it pa: so natural does the temporary ering appear. { Fences in different parts of the city receive these cers, and wor! them over very quickly, but the re sponsibility of the gang ends with the delivery of the car, when their | money is tufted overt. | These fences are used for varicu kinds of cars and by a brazing s; tem they have, the numbers on. the engines are quickly removed ether numbers substgtuted. | and} Some | times a number is added to the one} already placed, either before the first figure or after the last, which] is almost impossible to detect. | No car afe with the key simol removed or disconnecting of the b tery, as there are very simple meth- ods of operating the car despite) those precautions, should som€srte, want to take it. 1 The tracing of a stolen car is get- ting so difficult that the plan is being given up in a sense in the cities, be-) cause of the impossibility of discov- ery thru remarking, and the police are giving more of their attention! to NMcating the thieves, in a men-| ner similer to that which has been used “in capturing counterfeiter a} forgers, and they are meeting with| considerable success in this line. 40-TON LOAD CARRIED BY TRUCK, TIRES NOT DAMAGED RY WEIGHT to touch any part without soiling the, J | Forty tons, the heaviest loud evar! placed on rubber tires, recently s carried by a trailer-truck owned by Allen Brothers, Los Angeles, Cal. This tremendous load, a giant ra- rine engine cylinder, wes borne 23 miles over City streets and country highways without any noticeable <f- fect on the tires.

On the other hand, many motorists are lax about the clean'iness of parts that are noi exposed io view, simply because they assume (iat such cleanliness does not matter.

For such cleanliness has a much eper meaning than the mere satis- faction of having thin clean ana uiiractive. It has to do with the life of the cur and the continued satis- factory perf ars of the car. Viewed in « baht, the question of under-the-hood on @ new aspect. Probably the most neglected part of the average motor car in this re- spect is the drip pan under the en gine. If a little oil is spilled in fill- ing the crankcase, few people stop wi it ap.

Now, the purpose of the drip pan is not fo catch oil and dirt. It is put there vo protect the engine and other working parts from foreign matter that could otherwise get in from be- low. There is nothing more unpleasant to the average person than work about under the hood of a car where everything is covered with gre: and dirt. For this reason, make a practice of cles tor off occasionally with This should never be done. use kerosene. Then, ins ishing the job, they will let the a oil drop into the pan and stay there. A few minutes longer would suffice o rinse out the pan as well. But | you can look under the hood of mahy |cars and find the accumulation of oil and dust so thick that it is impossible hands or clothing, in spite of the fact that the exterior of the car is clear: |and inviting. The best way, and the easiest way to keep the drip pan and all other parts under the hoog clean is to be regular about it. Don’t wait for 2 lot of foreign substance to gather and then make one job of it. But whenever the car is lubricated or washed see to it that a little interior cleaning is done as well. Don't per- mit overflows of oil to go unnoticed. The car owner who buys h upplies at a filling station should see to ix that the attendant wipes up any oil that he may spill, and if this practice | is followed regularly there will be no chance for the collection of such eciuse in the drip pan.
