Editorial Correspondence ROCKFORD, Illinois, Sept. our first transcontinental' motor tain thintrs and not do others. the car to be in the best possible condition, so before leaving Stonington, the car was placed in a garage for a checking up and overhauling. As it wag a new car very little had to be done in this direction. Second we wanted to choose the best route to Portland, via Rockford, for certain personal reasons. headquarters, and had the best road conditions, detours, distances, etc., etc., made out, nna nlainlv marked on the excellent maps which this organization nrovirles. That was about all negative side we resolved to to be carried out each day, in our coast objective, at a certain time. Wo had ten days to reach the coast, which required 3''0 miles per day, and we let it the feeling of compulsion, that conditions had to be made at stop each day after the 320 miles had been covered, when wo felt, like it. We also decided never push the speedometer driving. Wo nrn now convinced this reached Rockford easily in "two of about 500 miles, without breaking any of our rules and regulations, and 360 miles ahead of our schedule, enjoyed the anticipation of an earned day of rest, cleaning up and general relaxation. For Rockford is your correspondent's old stamping ground and there is still a room, fit 831, which it. is always a plcnsuro to crawl into. But had this all been a schedulo, we would have been morning when, after a leisurely breakfast and casual conversa tion with members of the family- and friends, wo sauntered down to the family garage to seo how the transcontinental barouche had been faring. The garage door was open and the nncestral bus reposed in its customary stall, but tho car with an Oregon license plate was missing 1 No doubt about it, there was a yawning cavity where the eforc. and but for certain associations with tho past, no douot Yo lidilor would immediately havo concluded it had been stolen. Hut lliiinks to those early associations, tho habit of the mind to jump back over the intervening years, in time of a suddon and uno.tpected crisis our first impression was tlint some of the kids down the street, had been playing a practical joke on a returning member of tho Main Street gang. There had been manv such practical jokes in that riverbank neighborhood in the gay and glamorous eary another one. We are recording this impression, not because it. has any particular significance, but. merely because it happens to be the fact. It might interest nomo amntour psyohologist. The mmodinte impulso was to call up or "Jtut ' Kutlcdge, and ton bring the car back, for it was otc, and we had to got on our joke, but cut it after nearly to grow up! That was only for a moment. Deep wheel marks in the flower bed, near tho basement garago entrance, where tho ear had been backed bv unfamiliar hands to make the turn, told the story. Bcliove it or not, Strango as it seems, and all the other foaturod oddities of tho daily press, 831 North Main street had been robbed in the night I So that was a fine kettle of iilfish, and tho family immedi ately hold a pnw wow. Tho police were informed state, city and tho sheriff, a wire was dispatched to the insuranco agent in Modford and neighbors came in in somo mysterious way news liko that always travels to offer advico and one of them in tho secret service during tho world war, had it all doped out. Tho Oregon ear had been trailed from the environs of Chicago (we had not enlered the city, in fact that's another rule, to avoid largo cities whenever possible) the job had been profes sional, tho theft occurred about two a. m. and the cur at that (iinc, 9:30 a. m., was in some "fence" in Chicago, whero in a few hours it would emerge, with new paint, new engine number, no luggage, and bo promptly sold for four or five hundred dollars. Tough luck but that's the way they do things within 1200 miles of tho loop, the detective had read all about, it in magazine section of the Chicago Tribune a week or two ago. Well that practical joke angle may have been goofy, but it was no more goofy, than the denouement, or the entire episode for that matter. In less than three hours the state police called up they had found the car parked on 11th street across the river, a)id the owner was summoned to the police station to identify his property. So that was that. Thero was the ear parked in an alloy behind tho station, and two plain clothes men to greet us. Some resident on 11th avenuo had noticed a strango car parked at the ourb with tho front door oren, when ho went out on tho porch to get his morning paper, his suspi cions were nrouscd so ho had phoned tho police. The rest was simple. In fact it all was so simple it didn't, and still doesn't, lniiko sense. Tho rear license plate had been sheared off clean, the front license plato hammered together so no one could read the number. Kverything arranged apparently for a get-away, as 11th street lends to the Lincoln Highway, and yet the car had been abandoned, tho speedometer and oil tank showed only a few miles had been covered, a rain coat, some personal knick knacks were missing, the tool chest had been ransacked, a package of Mexican cignrottes left behind, and the hammer left on the front scat, and the screwdriver broken. So whatt The plain clothes men first wanted to know if tho spots on the front scat cushion were blood. They were dark brown spots, but Yo Editor scratched them and had to tell the truth. They were the remains of a bar of sweet chocolato he had nibbled, about tea time the afternoon before, and in the process of passing a gasoline truck near Juliet, had placed carefully beside him on the sent for safe keeping. This seemed to disap point the plain clothes men very much and we couldn't blame them. Ilowover they hnd to keep the hammer and screwdriver pin ts for evidence, and were convinced the yeggs who took the car, used it, to robe a service station, of gas, or that ho hammer being employed to break the padlock on the tank, etc., etc. We have a high regard for the state police of Illinois and feel very gr.itcful to thorn, as well as the unknown resident on llth avenue, but this didn't make icnse either. Why should yeggs crawl up a tlark river bank, steal a cur that had just arrived, from a basement garage, in a house set back '.'00 feet from the street, in order to pull a service station job, on the other side of the river, . . . and why steal gas anyway when they had a half filled tank -enough to get them to cihicngo! And if it had been merely some gin drinking "kids" on a week end bust, why did they only drive four or five miles. nn, win did they destroy the' license platesf WHY WHY WHY the entire affair was and still is inn-edible but there is the evidence on the police blotter in Koekford, Illinois a belter ShiM-loi't; 'inwever than the present writer will have to m,!vo it Time ;uv ninny.-, "oinpriwilioir..

A young nephew had a particularly happy time going over the details, and wondering why his grandfather who sleeps just above the garage didn t hear the robbers when they opened the door and started the engine.

The railroads are understood to have reached a decision privately last week to press their petition against the constitutionality of the ICC decis ion lowering fares, despite all the good It haa done them. But 'hey also decided not to Increase fares cveri If they won. The explanation Ig that there Is a question on constitutional juthorlty involved, and the railroads do not dare to let this ICC order stand as a precedent. The railroads believe the ICO had no right to Jeopardize the property of stockholders and that question may reach the supreme court. Incidentally, the railroad business Is now so good they will probably be short of equipment within six months.
