MY HEADS CHAP COUT MARTIAL NATIONAL CAMPAIGN : w AGAINST AUTO THIEF Washington, March 6.--Meeting {of 42 out of the 48 state legisla- tures in the country this year will inaugurate a national campaign for legislation to eliminate the auto thief. At the head of this campaign is the American Automobile Associa- tion. All of its resources through its member clubs in every state, are being organized for the purpose. : 'What is wanted is a universal state certificate of title law to help _ reduce automobile thefts. Twelve statés which have already adopted such legislation will support the ALAA. in its campaign with proof that this law has cut down the number of stolen cars considerably, placed many auto thieves behind 'the bars and has also brought about & reduction in automobile theft in- surance rates. .

"Automobile thieves are able to carry on their practices with impu- nity because in most states it is un- necessary to prove or register title when a car is bought or sold," says Roy Britton, chairman of the legis- lative board of the A.A.A. "We cannot expect to stop orga- nized automobile thievery until all the states adopt a unirorm anti-theft law. After that there must be effi- cient co-operation between the states in executing such laws and never failing punishment for breach of their provisions." The law sponsored by the A.A.A. has these provisions: 1. Compulsory issuance of cer- tificate of title and evidence of reg- istration. 2. Regulation of purchase and sale or other -transfer of auto own- ership. 3. Regulation and licensing dealers in used cars. 4. Provisions to facilitate recov- ery of stolen autos. of Importance of Clean Oil. A fine fire strainer should be a part of the inside of the oil reser- voir of every car.

Whenever a pedestrian ,wants to Cross a street 'corner where there is no traffic policeman, all he has to do is to hold up his hand, palm out, and across! Motorists have to stop at this sig- nal. That's the law, according to the new ordinance. On the other hand, pedestrians must comply with traffic signals and most cross only when the signal per- mits them. The new ordinance also makes it unlawful to pass a street car within 100 feet of a street intersection. This, and a rule that motorists must stop when a street car stops, even at safety zones, although they may go ahead through the zones without 'waiting for the car to start, are be- ing observed carefully by authorities to see what effect it has on traffic. Traffic authorities, however, ex- pect it to result in a more regulated traffic system than has prevailed in the city. -------------- When putting chains on tires, the shiny side of the links go outside.

Montreal, March 6.--The Cana- dian Good Roads Association is marshaling its forces to press its application to the Dominion Gov- ernment for a renewal of the fed- eral grant of $20,000,000 to assist the various provincial governments In carrying out their programmes of construction of main roads designed to be linked up interprovincially and finally nationally. The decision to make the application was approved by unanimous resolution from every province in the Dominion, including several premiers and numerous min- isters, deputy ministers and high- way executives, at the annual con- vention of the association held in June last at St. Andrew's-by-the- Sea, N.B., and was reaffirmed at the interprovineial conference of ministers and highway officials held at Toronto in November. A strong delegation is being assembled, head- ed by Hon. P, J. Veniot, premier of New Brunswick and president of the association, and including represen- tatives of each provincial govern- ment and many influential citizens, to go to Ottawa, at a date during the current session to be fixed by Hon. Mr. Veniot, to urge upon the cabinet the advantages accruing from the proposal and the consider- ation which should insure a favor- able answer to their appeal. Premier Veniot has addressed to each member of the Senate and the House of Commons a personal let- ter, in which he presents the argu- ments in favor of the grant, stress- ing the fact that the Dominion Gov- ernment is one of the chief benefi- claries of the network of improved highways made possible by the pre- vious grant in 1919 of $20,000,000 and designed to be extended shouid the grant be renewed. After saying that good roads come under the de- finition of projects undertaken *'in the general interests of Canada," and quoting the axiom that those who benefit should pay, Premier Veniot goes on to point out that to date the Deminion has collected as customs and excise duties on auto- mobiles, accessories and parts a to- tal revenue of approximately $105,- 000,000, the greater part of which is due to improved roads. The fed- eral post office department, more- over, makes use of 65 per cent. of all provincial roads for mall trans- portation, delivery or collection, which would be impossible or much more costly were it not for highway improvements. Good roads are one of the strongest inducemedits Jor i THE ENGINE VIBRATION is vibration is concerned.

Chrysler results are acknowl. edged to be as different and as desirable today as they were in 1924 and the public is as eager to possess them.
