A small force of automobile Investigators .working under the direction of Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson does much towards safety on the public highways. The force does not exceed 30 men, and It covers the entire state, but Its effectiveness Is not measured by Its numbers. During the first six months of this year the Investigators checked 12,000 violators and made approximately 1,- 000 arrests. During the same time, more than 200 stolen automobiles Were found and restored to their owners. At Mattoon early In the year a band of automobile thieves was run down and 49 cars were recovered. Due to this same investigation 50 stolen cars were recovered in the vicinity of ton. The thieves were caught and the band broken up. The small force of Investigators Is j[Ustributed throughout the state, counties being assigned to individual Investigators. It Is, of course. Impossible for the investigator to be on hand always In every part of the large territory assigned to him. He gets results by co-operatiod with the police and sheriffs' forces. At least a quarter of a million dollars which would otherwise never be paid into the state treasury is collected In fees as the result of the activity of these men. Plaindealer Ads Get Results. CAR STEALING IS "^'dne With Slight Mechanical ^Ability C*ti Start Auto Without Key. Automobile stealing Is a that, despite the Dyer act, goes on at an astonishingly fast gait throughout the country, according to the legal department of the Chicago Motor club. The unlocked car, of course, Is the greatest source of supply. Many car owners think because the ignition 1b turned off that the thief Is foiled, whereas anyone with slight mechanical ability can start a car without a key. The most common method is to ran a wire from the ammeter to the coil, but there are. numerous schemes equally effective. Habit of Locking Car. "Make & habit of locking your ear, and following a psychological law. It will be practically Impossible to forget to lock It," says the club bulletin. "Lock it at all times, even when yoa are going to be In i view of the car while you leave It for a few minutes, then you will never forget It when you are going to be away from It for hours. "Even cars that are locked are stolen. Some thieves operate ln^this fashion. They drive a car of some popular make, and in driving along they see another car as like their own as the proverbial two peas In the pod. They stop behind It, or in a corner directly opposite from the car they Intend to steal. Then they go to a telephone and call a tow car, giving the description of the car. Perhaps they conveniently forget their own license New Records and 9(w?rriii m '}i; y Graham Brothers Truck sales for I 1925werethelargestintheirhistoiy.

I f PARTNERSHIP IN STREET TRAVEL On Cannot Afford ft* Be Reckless in THi* Ag« of Automobile Perils. (Br C. B. AUEU President National Safety Council.) The motorist and pedestrian are partners In the street Like in a commercial partnership or a marriage partnership, the failure of one partner la the hardship of both. Do onto your partner aa you would have him do unto yoa, is the Golden Rule of the street In this age of motor perils one can't afford to be reckless. Twenty thousand persons, the young and the old, the sprightly and the feeble, were killed In the streets and on the highways of our country last year. Some of these were killed because they didn't respect the rights of motorists, and some were killed because motorists didn't respect the rights of pedestrians. The same cause# apply to the deaths of many of the automobile passengers. Right-of-Way Question. * • A lot of peopW pay: "Well, Who has got the right-of-way?" That Question has not yet been answered by lawmakers as between ttye motorist and the pedestrian. > Since all of us are pedestrians at times, we hare first-hand knowledge of the feelings of those who walk, as well as those who ride. It Is sometimes aggravating to stand on a corner waiting to cross a street without ever a motorist stopping his car to give you the right-of-way. And If an automobile driver does stop and wave to you to cross the street, you hall him as "one man In a million." Partnership Affair. The motorist does not own the road. Long before there were automobiles, pedestrians traversed our streets and highways. But pedestrians don't own the road, either. It is a 60-50 partnership based on respect of one for the other. If you are driving an automobile, give the pedestrian a safe chance to cross the street, and If you are a pedestrian, do not thoughtlessly Jeopardize yourself and the motorist by carelessly thrusting yourself Into his path, in the hope that he may stop. If you conduct yourself courteously whether pedestrian or motorist, you are doing your part to prevent accidents, and remember that an ounce sf prevention is worth a pound of core. AUTO FEES ENOUGH t TO PAY BOND ISSUE Over $62,000,000 Collected by Secretary of State Since January, 1917. During the administration of Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson a total of over $62,000,000 has been collected in fees by the automobile department, according to the figures given out today. The exact amount collected from January, 1917, to October 1 this year, is $62,065,864. When the financing of the first hard road system was being discussed in 1917 considerable doubt was expressed as to whether the automobile fees "would be sufficient to pay off the $80, 000,000 bond issue. Leaving out the matter of interest, enough has already been collected la the first eight years of the 20-year period to pay off the principal. In 1017 only $1,587,772 was coljected by the automobile department During the first nine months of this fear $12,774,981 was collected by the -automobile department and the total for the year will run well over $13, 200,000. The figures given out by Secretary^ Emmerson show how fees have cllmi during the eight years. The total the various years is as follows: 1917 f 1,587.772.69 1918 1919 1920 1921 1922 1928 1924 1925 to October 1... 12,774,981.00 In the meantime the number o# automobile licenses In the year has Increased from 340,292 In 1917 to ovet 1,082,148 Issued up to October l tMl year.

"Automobile thieves have taken advantage of conditions In towns wheat garages make a practice of delivering cars to boarders at their homes. Many times the owner will instruct the garage attendants to put his keys IB the mail box at a certain time. The thieves make a survey of the situ* tion, and are often able to step intt the vestibule a minute or two befoea the owner comes down to get his car. They get the keys and are away fro«i the scene of the theft in a minute. "Thousands of cars are recovered, but In numerous Instances the ownse does not get his property back because the thieves have made such changes In the car that It Is impossible to identify it Every motorist shooM have a secret number placed somewhere on the car.
