SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1920. A -- BR In the Automobile World Is Your Car Properly Protected From Theft ? 1. If your car is locked, the chances of its being stolen are one in ten thousand; if left unlocked, one out of a hundred. 2. It is mot sufficient to merely lock the ignition system on your machine, but employ one which will lock it securely, and to which dupii- cate keys may not be had. ; oe. Locks range in cost from $5 to 4. You are gambling from $5 to $50 that your car will not be stolen when you purchase a lock. B. Make it yodr business to know the make of your car, the license, Motor and factory numbers, so that if it is stolen you can intelligently give the police a description of it. 6. If you see suspicious-looking persons tampering with other per- sons' machines, it is your duty to call an officer, In this way thefts may be prevented, GOES UP ON HIGH. Wealthy Chinese Has Novel Trip From This Life to Next. There was a pretty custom among Some of the ancients when a promin- ent en died, to send his valet along with him on the road to Para- dise, and it was oftentimes necessary 0. resort to extreme methods to in- sure this company for the departed. 1 | But in the territory of the China- | American Trading Company, Ford Dealers in Tientsin, China, they have {discovered a much better aid to the { deceased over the rough places on the [ trip to the Promised Land. { It is 4 custom of the Chinese to | burn various kinds of effigies at the funeral ceremonies of the rich, the more wealthy the departed the mare elaborate the figures burned over his grave. These effigies represent every manner of thing, such as hu- man figures, horses, sedan chairs, tables loaded with money, etc. The figures usually conform to some of these stereotyped fashions, but at the funeral of a Mr. Li, who dled a short time ago in Tientsin, and who was a very wealthy man, the bereaved fam- ily outdid themselves and made an imitation of the deceased gentle man's Ford car to be burned at his grave. This Ford effigy was made entirely of strong Chinese paper stretched on bamboo and reed frames. The car was complete in every detail, the pedals accurately placed, and all made of paper and bamboo. The in- terior of the car was also accurate in detail, being carefully upholstered in paper. The effigy of the driver, as shown in the photograph, was a work of art. The car was carried about three miles through crowded streets to the graveside, where a match was appHed and it was consumed in a few minutes, This is the first time that a motor car has been burned at the grave of a Chinese, and there is every reason to believe that the deceased went up "on high." CAR SHORTAGE HOLDS STEADY. Wages, Material and Automobile Freight Cars Hold Up Production. A general shortage of new cars of all makes continues and there does not appear to be any signs of im- mediate relief. One cause is a short- age of freight cars, making it im- possible for automobile makers. to ship to distributors even what cars they have ready. Another cause is a shortage of parts. Materials, which have been scarce for more than two years, are still hard to obtain, and delivery to car-building points is slow. The scale of wages in parts and car-building plants is still on the upward trend, and this condi- tion does not offer any of the long- looked-for reduction in car prices. In addition to these troubles, the car builder must now pay more for his tire equipment. The new Letvian government has adopted the metric system, but has permitted the old Russian we'ghts and measures to be used for five years. A mew centrifugal machine for clarifying serums, bacteria, media, etc., in hospital laboratories revolves at speeds of from 40,000 to 60,000 revolutions a minute. A bathrobe dnto which are woven electric wires that are heated by con- nection with a light socket is the in- vention of a Salt Lake city man. Recent O.M.L.
