THE HURON EXP9SITOR
KNOW YOUR OWN CAR
•
`Owners of motor ,cars are always
interested in the dangers of theft and
the steps to be taken to prevent it.
Starting out with the very unusual
statement that few automobile own-
ers are ever in a position to absolutely
identify .their own cars, Alexander C.
Johnston, the editor of Motor, gives
some practical hints in Munsey's as
follows:
When a professional thief steals an
automobile, his first care is to alter
the Motor numbers and any other
numeral marks that he can find on
the chassis. If he is a really clever
operator with a proper connection, he
drives the car to what may be called
a thieves' repair -station. This is
simply a fence for stolen cars, with
a complete machine -shop for carrying
out alterations. In many eases these
crooked garages can build a car from
the ground uta Indeed the latest
practice in the higher circles of
larceny is to wait until several auto-
mobiles of a given make come in, and
then: to pull them all down and mix
the parts up, so as practil ally to as-
semble two or three new cars.
With this understood, is it any
wonder that casual methods of identi-
fication, which the ordinary car -owner
assumes are sitfiicient, fail utterly
under the test? The scratch that
Aunt Mary made on the dash with
her hat -pin will net be there when.
the police reclaim the car after its
adventures in the und'erworlct.. The
hole that Uncle Pe1e'g made with the
nail in his wooden leg will have been
ironed out of the running -board so
thoroughly that you Will never find
it. ,No, the trustful innocence of the
average owner in this matter of
identification equals that of the ld ,
lady whose great terror was her f4ar
of burglars, but who always sl pt
soundly on Sunday night because. 4he
felt quite certain. that "no burg ar
could be so wicked as to commit crime
on the Sabbath!" '
Having given our readers as much
cause for anxiety as I can in the
course of a brief 'article, I shall nqw
endeavor to tell them how they can
protect themselves against the Pos-
sible day when they may be called
upon to prove their ownership of
their vehicular property, with a
cynical police official in the role of
judge and jury.
The real secret of identifying your
car is to place on it pertain definite
marks at definitely known places on
the mechanism, There should be a
number of such marks, and they should
be placed in the most obscure, locations
that can be found. In this way, even
if the car passes through the hands
of a band of trained thieves, expert
in altering possible means of identifi-
cation," there is a chance that one or
two of the marks will get by undetect-
ed; and it needs only one conclusive
bit of evidence to deliver the car into
your hands after the police have re-
gained possession of it.
One of the most valuable helps in
placing identification marks on the
car is a punch, bearing a definite sign
of some sort -an initial being as good
as anything else. With this punch go
over the chassis, making imprints in
various hidden places about, the frame
and on the various mechanical units
-for instance, on the inside, of the
fly -wheel, an the spring -hangers, and
on the under surface of the axles.
Another simple and yet frequently
effective methor is to scratch initials
or other definite marks on the inside'
of such parts as the hub caps, the
rims of the head -lights, and the cap
that closes the vent of the fuel -tank,
or in .other similar locations, oppor-
tun;t:es for finding which will vary -
with different cars.
Perhaps the most satisfactory ident-
•ificatior_ marks are those invented by
the individual owner at the sugges-
tion of his own imagination or ingen-
uity. One such owner was called to
police headquarters ir-a Middle West-
ern city to see tehether he could
identiff . a car• that answered to the
description he had given of his miss-
ing vehicle. - He found an earnest
group of rival claimants waiting for
the ceremony, as the car was one of
a popular make -no, not that one, but
another nearly as common on our
highways.
As usually happens, the identifica-
tion•was unanimous. • Each man pres-
ent recognized the vehicle as his own.
Apparently the policeman would be
compelled to follow the judicial meth-
od of Solomon and divide the old bus
up, until our hero stepped forward.
"Officer," said he"if you will look
on the, brass band that binds the edge
of the running -board of this car, you
will find that it is held in place by
seven screws. In other machines of
this make only four screws are ` us-
ed."
A telephone -call to the local agent
for that particular make confirnied
the identification, and the ingenious
owner carried off his car in triumph.
He had simply drilled three extra
holes in the strip along the running -
board and inserted the extra screws,
which to the casual eye appeared to
be a perfectly normal detail of the
equipment, (but which effectually dif-
ferentiated that particular car from
every other machine of the same
model.--
Here's another case of somewhat
similar tenor. A Blinx Eight was
recovered by the police of a New
Jersey city. There were several.,
claimants, each sure of his right to
carry off the prize, but no really sat-
isfactory identification had been made.
A dapper little man put in a late ap-
pearance, and, after a very brief in-
spection of the car, smiled confidently
and announced that it was his proper-
ty beyond a shadow of a doubt.
"How do you know so derned cer-
tain," wearily inquired the police
official, with e. hint of hostility in hist;
voice.
"Do you see that clock on the
dash?" asked the little man.
The, policeman grunted affirmative-
ly.
"If you will look at the inscrip-
tion on the face of that clock," con-
tinued the claimant, "you will find that
it says,. "Blank Watch Company' and
underneath 'B. C. Jones, agent.' Well
I'm B. C. Jones, but I'm not a clock
agent; ,I'm an insurance -adjuster.
Here's my card." . •
The slight addition to the ordinary
inscription on the face of the clock
formed" a very ingenious identification

the sticking power which the vacuum ;
creates, the stone cannot be lifted.
How did name Uncle Sam originate?
-The name of Uncle Sam is a jocular
name long in use for the Govern-
ment of the United States.
Shortly after the war of 1812 was
declared, Elbert Anderson, of New
York state, who was a contractor for
the army, went to Troy, N. Y., to
purchase a quantity of provisions. At
that place the provisions were in-
spected, the official inspectors being
two brothers named Wilson, Ebenezer
and Samuel. The latter was very
popular among the men and was
known as Uncle . Sam Wilson, and
everybody called him that. The.,
boxes in which the provisions were
packed were stamped with four letters, !
E. A. for Elbert Anderson, and. U. S.,
for United States. Cone of the men
engaged in making the inspection
asked another of the workmen, who .
happened to be a jocular fellow, what
the letters E. A. U. S. on the boxes
,stood for. He said in reply that he
did not know but thought they prob-
ably meant • Elbert Anderson and
Uncle Sam Wilson, and that they had
left off the W. which would stand
for Wilson., The suggestion caught
on 'quickly and as such things often
do, the joke spread rapidly so that
everybody soon thought of the name
Uncle Sam whenever they saw the
letters U. S. on anything or in any
place.
The suit of striped trousers and
long tailed coat and beaver hat in
which Uncle Sam pis now always rep-
resented in pictures, was . the inspira-
tion of the famous cartoonist.

mark, which appeared so entirely
natural that it had escaped even the
lynx eyes of a professional car -thief.
I may add another instance in which
an owner recovered his property .by
the preliminary exercise of a little
ingenuity. In this case the car was
a popular light six, which had been
painted- the conventional black, with
canary wheels, when it was last gazed
upon by its more or less proud pro-
prietor. After a lapse of six weeks
from the time of the theft, the owner
was notified that a car answering in
certain points to the description he
had given the police had been found
in a recently raided t}}ieves' garage.
The owner promptly reported at police
headquarters, where they showed him
a car answering in every way to his
long -lost Lizzie, except for the trifl-
ing circumstance that it wee newly
painted a beautiful bottle -green, with
bright red wheels..
"That dbesn't'mean a thing •on
earth," the detective in charge of
lost and found car cases assured him.
:"The first thing a thief does is to get
the paint changed. You go over the
bus and see if you can find anything
to identify it by."
"If this is my car, -I can identify it
in a minute," answered the claimant.
He opened his penknife and care-
fully scraped away a section of the
new paint from the frame just above
the place where the spring -hangers
are attached. -
"If this is my car," said he, "there
is a little hole drilled here, filled with
lead, -and then painted over.".
A minute's investigation' disclosed
the lead, and the car was at once
turned over to the ingenious owner.
The other day, in a Western city,
an owner was enabled to regain pos-
session of his car by lifting up three
of the tacks holding the upholstery
in place and pulling his visiting -card
cuf of the hair stuffing, He had been
wise enough to hide the card there
against a possible time of need. .
THE REASON WHY
How does a fly walk upside down?
-There is a little sucker on the end
of each of the fly's feet which makes
his foot stick to the ceiling or any
other place he walks, and which he
can control at will. It is made very
Much like the sucker you have seen
with which a boy can pick up a flat
stone -a, circular piece of rubber or
leather with a string in the middle
and more or less bell shaped under-
neath. A boy can pick up a flat stone
by pressing the leather or rubber
part down flat oh the ,.stone and
then pulling gently eon it by the
string. When he does this he simply
expels the air which is betweenthe
leather part of the sucker and the
stone, which creates a vacuum and
the pressure of the air on the out-
side part of the leather enables him
to pick it up. The fly has little suck ;
ers like these on each of his f
and they act automatically when he
puts his foot down. Of course the

more of the Astrakhan type, rather
looset in the curl and. woolier. The
appellation "Persian Lambs" comes
from the fact that all the trading
for the Karakule pelts is doing in
markets in Persia, which, naturally
gives its name, to the widely known
article of commerce. -
The object ,of introducing the
blood of the •domestic Cotswolds,
Leicesters, and ism on, and • of the
Persians is to produce a bigger fram-
ed animal with a close, high-class fur
and wool, and the experiments" have
been so successful on the Patrick
ranch, where there are 1,200 Kara- {
kules and grades that are being de -1

that the industry may fairly be. said
to be established. In any event Dr,
Patrick marketed the first of his 1
Albert Persian - lambs last year and!
the pelts brought from $18 to $32.
This year the quantity is higher and
the market prices are also higher,
ranging up to $50 for a Iamb pelt.
When the lamb is killed for its pelt
the ewe breeds twice in the sdce
season, which means a fur product
from the lambs of $40 to $100 a year.
Besides the pelts there is the wool
of the older animals, and for this a
market has been found in New York
City, where it is used in the manu-
facture of Persian rugs. The price
