DARING IN THEIR METHODS.
On of Thair Pat Sohamaa Is to Dia
guiaa Thamsalvaa aa- Rapairars and
Opanly Tow tho Car Away Ordi
nary Safaguarda Ara a Joka to Tham.
The man who steals an automobile Is
oue of the cleverest mechanlciaus lu
the country. He knows every make of
car from the steering wheel to the tires,
and there Is scarcely any precautlou
taken by the owner of tho cur to safe
guard his property that the automobile
tblef cannot beat.
Some car owners fondly iuiagine that
when they chain the wheel of their car
with a fairly thick steel ebalu they
have made it impossible for any crook
to more the aUto from its anchorage.
The simplicity of this safeguard must
cause hilarity among the motorcar
crooks, for the ordinary steel chain can
be cut lu a second with the appliances
that the motor thieves carry in their
outlit.
But most car owners couslder they
have made the car Immovable by mere
ly locking the switch box. It will Inter
est theui to know that the car thieves
can beat this precaution very enslly.
The clever mechanician who makes a
business of stealing cars can cross
wires so as to cause Ignition and move
the engine without bothering with the
switch box ut all. A method that Is kin
dergarten to the car thief Is to connect
wires from the dry cell battery direct
to the Ignition coil, thus Btartlug the
motor without difficulty.
Some enrs have devices by which the
gasoline supply can bo locked, uud ,thls
Is regarded by some owners us placing
a hopeless barrier In the way of the
thief who would run off with the
standing car. For how can a car be
moved when the supply of gasoline Is
shut off? Nothing easier. The motor
car thief curries with him his own sup
ply of gasoline in a llask. With this
gasoline tho automobile thief cau nego.
tiate a good run with tho car by con-,
nectlng his flask of gasoline direct to
the carburetor. Feeding the gasoline
to the carburetor through a rubber
hose, the automobile thief cun send the
car sufficiently fur to enable him to put
the gasoline tank and the cur lu regu
lar commission and speed where he
will to safety and a sale.
But tho commonest add therefore tho
safest trick of the utitomoblle thief re
quires no expert mechanical knowl
edge. It simply requires nerve, which
j these thieves possess to nn unusual de
gree, xnis inciv is me oiu oue or Driv
ing up In an auto that looks like a ga
rage repair wagon, hitching la ropo to
the cur that is to be stolen and towing
It nwny. The thieves dress for the part
in oil soaked overalls. When they have
selected the car to be stolen, picking
oue that is in a side street and not like
ly to bo uuder the eye of a policeman
who may have been tipped to watch
tho car, the thieves come up to the
scene in their old car, looking like the
ordinary crew sent for from the garage
to repair a car that Is In trouble or Isn't
working as well us Its fastidious owner
would wish.
They alight from their own car and
make a great pretense of examining
the car that they Intend to spirit away.
They, remove the hood and scrutinize
tho motor. They get out a kit of tools
and tinker for awhile with some part
of the machinery. If any one should
happen to be watching them or looking
on from a neighboring window all the
men do has the appearance of natural
work by honest workmen from the
repair shop. Presently tho men hold
a consultation, pointing to some part
of the motor machinery, nnd apparent
ly come to the conclusion that the car
cannot be started with the tools at
their command, 'i'hen they hitch a
rope to the car and tow It away at the
end of their own car. Could anything
be more simple?
How can you beat such a game as
this? Currying away part of the ma
chinery does not prevent Hi? tMevcs
from towing the car away. One sure
way to prevent robbery Is to bavo the
car watched. The policeman on that
patrol will l oop an eye on It if you
are ouly going to make a visit to some
office building and coming buck In a
short time, nut If you keep your car
in the street the entire (lay no 0110 can
watch it. You ore simply taking a
chance with the car thieves.
There are other ways of makiirjr the
path of the motorcar crook ns steep
and difficult as possible. One motor
ist believes be has solved the tblef
problem by having a slot cut In the
clutch pedal shaft. Throus;h this ho
passes a bar which he locks. So far
his car has nut been stolen. Another
way Is to remove the rotor. This
makes It very difficult for any thief to
steal the car, for he would have to
carry a number of rotors to be sure
of having one that would fit that par
ticular motor. Philadelphia North

Dry and Moist Air,
A cubic foot of dry air weighs more
than a cubic foot of moist air nt the
same temperature nnd pressure. The
addition of vapor t n cnUr- foot tf itr.v
air enlarges the volume of the mixture
If the air is free to expand, as lu the
atmosphere, and as the vapor has only
about two-thirds the density of dry nir
at the same tempera I lire nnd pressure
the density of tho mixture Is less than
that of dry air.
Don't put off thatching till the storm
Is at hand. Irish Proverb.

Playing tight bull with a beautiful
pitcher's battle raging the entire
course. La Grande and Imbler yes
terday struggled through a 5-2 score
game with Jmbler winning. A close
decision at Ivome plate in tho fifth
with men on bases, stopped La
Grande's most effective rally. Me-
sei ve who has not been going so very
skookum as a pitcher previously this
year, was all to the good yesterday
and struck out Hi men and put Imb
ler batters down to a one-hit basis.
Bell, for Imbler, allowed three hits.
Miller, an old-time ball player who
was badly out of practice caught for
La Grande and Berry played first
base. On the Lu Grande club Mcln
nis, Wnlden and Palmer got the only
hits of the day for La Grande. It
