DON'T HELP THIEVES TO HELP THEMSELVES Auto thieves are of the opinion that many automobile owners enjoy having their cars stolen. They also believe that many motorists aid in the theft of their own cars! This startling information has been secured by the theft bureau of the Automobile Club of So. Calif. from scores of professional auto thieves who have been captured by the club between the Mexican boundary and San Luis Obispo-co. "Motorists make it easy for us thieves," is the way the thieves themselves put it, when questioned by the authorities, and the Auto club is planning a strenuous campaign to educate auto owners in "how to make it hard for the auto thieves." Keys left in the locks of parked cars, theft signals lying in rear seats unused, and failure to investigate registration certificates or tampered motor numbers are some of the aids given thieves, as shown by the testimony taken in the county jails throughout the southern part of the state. Unless automobile owners are deliberately playing into the hands of professional theft gangs in Southern California, they are warned by club officials to take ordinary precautions in safeguarding their moveable property. A careful check is to be made on all certificates of registration, and it is probable that steps will be taken to tighten up on the issuing of motor licenses in states adjoining California on the north and east, according to the Auto club, as many thieves use out-of-state licenses in stealing local cars.

WARRING NATIONS MAY BURY HATCHET NOGALES, Sonora, Mexico, Feb. 4. The Mexica-Guatemala dispute will be settled amicably, according to belief expressed today by General Serrano, secretary of war at Mexico City. Dispatches quoted Secretary Serrano as saying that President Orellano of Guatemala had issued strict orders to his army, concentrating near Peten, not to cross the Suchiate river into Mexico under any circumstances. The trouble was recently brought to a head when raiding parties from the Guatemalan army, which is under personal command of President Orellano, were alleged to have crossed the international boundary into the state of Chiapas, Mexico, in an attempt to capture former President Herrera of Guatemala, who has taken asylum in Chiapas. Gen. Orellano is said to have refused to withdraw his army from the border, where it is ostensibly guarding against operations by Herreristas on the Mexican side of the line. Orellano has given assurances, however, that no invasion will be undertaken, Secretary Serrano said. SALES OF BUICKS STILL MOUNTING Five more five-passenger touring cars arrived at the Buick agency of Bill Goodrum this week, making about 18 cars of this type so far this year. All but these last arrivals have been disposed of. Bill announces also that a Buick special, No. 654, three-passenger sport car has been put out and already exhibited at various eastern automobile shows. It will reach the coast very shortly, Goodrum says. It will sell for approximately $2100. All of the new Buicks that have been delivered this year have hit the mark. There hasn't been a comeback or complaint or klick. Goodrum re- FORD IS PRESS NEW MARK The motion plicational value. The national factor is just few films have been worthy of education.

Its use as an educational factor is just beginning. Very few films have been produced that are worthy of educational use. The Ford Motion Picture laboratories are developing motion pictures of educational value, says Ford News. It is planned to produce educational motion pictures to an extent and thoroughness that has never before been attempted. It is believed that the educational institutions of America need instructive, well-made motion pictures of the highest education type. With the close of 1921, the Ford Educational Weekly motion picture features were discontinued. In its place are produced educational pictures to form the "Ford Educational Library" which will be of the highest educational value. All efforts will be concentrated in the production of the Ford Educational Library films to adapt them especially for use in universities, schools, churches and all educational institutions. The films will be made to correlate with the textbook. In developing the Ford Educational Library it is intended to cover a wide variety of subjects and to provide films for the entire educational field. A complete study of America's industries will form one series. Scenic material for geography will be obtained from all regions of the country. Reforestation, agriculture, transportation, history, civics, citizenship, geology, physics, medical instruction, zoology, safety and other educational film studies, will be produced under expert guidance. Every possible assistance will be given in the Ford Educational Library for the complete study of the various grammar school subjects and later the high school and university. The films will correlate closely with the general book study. STATE BOARD FIXES 'TIGHTENING' PLANS SACRAMENTO, Feb. 4.—The California board of education is planning on "tightening up" the regulations with regard to qualifications for teachers in state schools as a result of the large influx of teachers from the East, many of them with wide experience, who are menacing the positions of California's young and beautiful teachers who have just graduated from normal schools or universities in the state after taking the regular teacher's courses. According to Will C. Wood, state superintendent of public instruction, it will be the future policy of the board of education to deny certification in the case of any and all elementary school teachers who cannot show six units of work in a California teacher's college, or in one of the universities of the state. All prospective teachers in the state are already required to take such work before they can get a teacher's certificate from a university, without taking added examinations. WARE OF WEATHER TOURISTS WARNED A bitter storm lesson was learned by thousands of motorists of Southern California during the recent rains and freak snow storms. As a result of this lesson, officials of the Automobile Club of Southern California have just issued a serious warning to all autoists in this section to cover any similar emergencies which may arise. Don't go sightseeing in the rain, wind or snow" is the burden of this warning. The auto club has been engaged in engineering rescue parties throughout the state during the past week, and a large majority of the motorists who have made the rescue work necessary have been those who went out "to see what the weather was like." Highway bridges, it is pointed out, have a habit of going out at a momentous performance will be the two great factors upon which the Cleveland will be merchandized...

California have just issued a serious warning to all autists in this section to cover any similar emergencies which may arise. Don't go sightseeing in the rain, wind or snow is the burden of this warning. The auto club has been engaged in engineering rescue parties throughout the state during the past week, and a large majority of the motorists who have made the rescue work necessary have been those who went out "to see what the weather was like." Highway bridges, it is pointed out, have a habit of going out at a moment's notice, and motorizing parties are as likely as not to be marooned far from home and food in the twinkling of an eye. The recent instances of more than 100 persons getting caught in deep snow on the Ridge Route is a moral lesson which should be heeded by all, according to the Auto Club's touring bureau. Sight seers and curiosity hounds make the work of rescue doubly hard by getting in the way, besides usually being the victims of the weather themselves. Roads which become covered with water during the winter months are very dangerous, warns the club, and no car can travel with safety on any route which is under water. Only in cases of business or dire necessity should motorists start out from home in the winter when a storm is brewing. PROBE SAMPLES GRAIN For testing grain in cars a probe has been invented that takes samples from ten different places at once, detecting inferior or dirty grain that may be hidden in the interior of the load. MAXWELL CLIMBS NEB. GRADE EASILY Transcontinental tourists who have ever used the D. L. and D. trail in Nebraska need no formal introduction to an elevation known as Spring Creek Hill, states H. L. Turton of Turton and Lumsdon, local Maxwell dealers. This gradient is known as one of the bugaboos of the prairie state, and any motor car which conquers it without trouble may lay claims to power and sturdiness. "Any one who has made this climb," states Pearson, "knows that a bumpy bridge at the foot of the incline precludes any possibility of a flying start, and a very pronounced camel's hump as the crest is approached take th elast bit of ginger out of almost any type of motor car. A car that will take the hill even in second gear must be possessed of an engine with plenty of horse power. "But a touring car of the new Maxwell series, carrying two passengers, climbed that hill in high gear from a ten-mile per hour start. This wasn't a test climb, and the car was not primed to set a record or from basis for a publicity 'stunt.' It was just an ordinary Maxwell that is believed when a buyer purchases one. "The owner of the car, who reported the climb to the Maxwell-Chalmers distributing firm in Holdredge, Neb., stated that he was touring through the state and had no intention of climbing the hill in high gear. The start was made, however, and the car kept on climbing without hesitation, clearing the peak with ease. Its owner straightaway turned around, and taking the descent in low gear, once more ascended the peak in high, to prove that the first performance was not an accident. Many cars have been turned back at this gradient, but the Maxwell, owing to its mechanical sturdiness, did not hesitate or falter once." GOODYEAR HORSE SHOE and U. S.
