This fact Is disclosed In 'figures furnished by the De Soto Motor corporation, a division of Chrysler Motors, at Detroit. An analysis of police reports from all. over the United States, , shows the precentage of recovered ears has Increased during the past 10 years from 79 to 92.8 per cent. All but 7.2 per cent offthe auto mobiles stolen throughout the country last year were reported recovered at the end of the year. compared with 21 per cent in 1S18. Among the reasons given for this remarkable increase are the increased ability on the part of the police department to combat the car thief and the innovations in locking equipment on modern automobiles that now protect car owners. Dealers and service de partments, too, are co-operating with the factories in tracing stolen cars. In this way they pro vide an efficient service to own ers and discourage those who would mike a business of stealing cars. Fire Fighters of the Air HIT won ii is COMIilD Among the many Innovations which have been Introduced by the Hupp Motor Car corporation, none has attracted more attention than the new stylsd sheet metal tailoring employed In the New Century models. Htrpmobile was the first com pany to design and construct sheet metal parts in conformity with the lines of the car itself. When the New Century models were first introduced, these common-place items were elevated to a new plane In the minds of buy ers because of the new flair which this manufacturer had given fM 4 Si &x ''41 JttlJ i v " 'Tm uwu unncciivn w uie zreat xoresta or rn v (nt am thm fi..M ...i--- . . for signs of fire.

Monday's Newspaper A FEW years ago it was a waste of time to read a newspaper on Monday. Nothing had hap pened over the week end so the paper rewrote Sat urday's news. NOT ANY MORE ..... Bad brakes and twenty-three million drivers on Sunday now make the Monday paper a thing of screaming headlines, and the people who supply the news seldom appreciate it. Keep your name out of Monday's paper. Drive in today and have your brakes tested on the Jumbo Giant Brake Tester. Learn in two minutes what the result is going to be 'when in an emergency , you jam on the brake pedal. A separate gauge gives an accurate report on each brake. The test takes only two minutes and is free. Form the habit of having your brakes test ed regularly every 1000 or 1500 miles. Mike Panek Salem's Brake Specialist Chemeketa & High St. Across from Fire Station j Now that tire prices ore the lowest in history V This is a good time Jo' site up tire VALUES. The difference in prices between good tires and inferior tires is now to 6light that there can be no logical reason for any car owner to buy "bargain" tires. He may save a dollar or so on the first cost, but he cannot possibly get the same mileage from a "bargain" tire that he will get from a tire like the Kelly-Springfield or the Kelly-built Buckeye; he will not get even as much mileage in proportion to what he has spent. Almost any of the standard makes of Urea are economical compared with "cheap" tires, but if you-want to be sure of getting, the very utmost in value and quality, buy Kelly-made tires.
