STATE IS READY TO HELP LOCATE STOLEN AUTOS All Cases of Theft Should Be Reported, Official in Charge Says. HAS ITS OWN POLICE All cases of automobiles being stolen should be reported to the automobile department of the State ao that State officials may cooperate in their recovery, according to Harold D. McClellan, in charge of the automobile department. Mr. McClellan said blanks had been cent to all sheriffs and chiefs of police on which stolen cars should be reported end that owners also shou’d make such reports. The State automobile department maintains a police force of its own and cooperates with local police departments in the. recovery of cars to the extent of paying the expenses of Investigations relating to ctolen machines. The department already has cooperated in the recovery of thirty automobiles, Mr. McClellan said. The department still is engaged In the Issuance of certificates of title and will continue to be for some time to come, although the law required such certificates should be issued before Sept. 1 _ Mr. McClellan said tbal because of the 'inability of the department to keep up With its work perecus without certificates of title will not be questioned at this time. He said 323,003 certificates havj teen Issued and fifty thousand mors are to be issued. He said they aro being given out at the rate of five thousand a -day.

A total of SSOO in bonds was paid Into the court as a guarantee that the father Would make payments as ordered by the court. A total of SOB 6 was paid Into the court as fines, costs and prosecutor’s fees. Children who damaged property were ordered to work and make good the damage. For thar purpose a total of $603.57 was paid into the court by youth ful offenders as a means of teaching them the seriousness of their offense, making the total collected for that period amounting to 550.566 93. Honest work/ cures many evils, Judge Lahr has discovered. “Idle hands and idle brains cause much trouble," Judge Lahr has observed from the bench many times. For the same twelve-month period from .Tan. 1, 1920 to Jan 1. 1921, the following classification of enses are noted: 450 delinquent boys. 339 delinquent girls. 528 neglected children, 163 cases contributing to the delinquency of children and 111 contributing to neglect of children and 222 dependent children, making the total number of cases at 1.713.

SECOND MARRIAGES JAII, IX IMPROAEMINT. Children do not thrive in a broken home autl the evidence in the cases heard tn this court shows conclusively that •econd marriages following divorces does mot improve the situation relative to the child. “Many of the children appearing In this court have two fathers and two mothers, caused of course by remarriage,” Miss Summerville states. "The child Is handed back from one side to the other. It is necessary for us to center our Interests on v\hnt is the best for the child. Action of the Juvenile court relative to children of divorced parents, is separate and distinct from that taken In the divorce courts “It often happens in the Juvenile court that the father has been awarded the custody of the child and that child appears In the Juvenile court on a charge, generally deliqneney or being incorrigible, ffbe Juvenile court Judge has authority to dispose of the case as he sees fit, having the power to send the child to an institution or make provisions for the child. Supreme '“ourts in many Staten have upheld such action. “The child must have the love and care of the mother and the discipline of the father. Both supply certain necessary attributes in the proper bringing up of the child. Divorce robs the child of one of those Influences and In some cases both of them. The neglected child Is a natural product of divorce. “The divorce courts haven’t the means to consider the welfare of the chtld as is necessarily done In the Juvenile court. When a child is awarded to the father by divorce proceedings, the father generelly calls upon a housekeeper or a relative to attend the child. The records show that such people can not take the place of the mother unless she is absolutely worthless. A father is not a good housekeeper. Stepmothers are not always a had inflnence on the child and in some cases In this court, the stepmother has done everything In her power for the best interests of the child, belt has failed to obtain the love and respect of the child." lAVORS rOIRT OF DOMESTIC RELATIONS. Miss Summerville is of the opinion that the remedy of the divorce evil lies In a better control of marriages. She favors the creation, as does Judge IJnn Hay of Superior Court, Room 2, of a Court of Domestic Relations which would have tie power to investigate all applications for marriage licenses to determine the ability of the proposed contracting parties to fulfill the obligations or married life. She also favors the passage of a law requiring a thirty-day period to elapse from the filing of the marriage application to the actual granting of it. “Tnder present conditions, the countyclerk’s office Is not required nor is It able to Investigate cases where a very young looking girl appears as e prospective bride,” Miss Sommervilie contends. “They rely upon an affidavit as to her age or one setting up the consent of one of the parents.” Miss Rotnmerville also favors a strict grand Jury Investigation of any Irregularities or perjury committed at the time of the granting of marriage licenses. Juvenile court authorities often post notices with the county clerk advising him not to issue a license to a certain couple until a court issues a permit. “But the trouble is we are unable to learn of many such cases until the marriage is consummated,” Miss Sommervilie states. Until society wakes up to the real danger of divorce and until there Is some control of marriage, the juvenile court probably will continue to deal with hundreds of children who are the criminal products of broken homes.

EVERY COUNTY TO SEND FOOD Vast Amount of Grain Asked for Near East. “Most farmers are human and have hearts—if they must decide between keeping a hog lean for a while or saving the life of a child the kiddy will win out every time,’’ says a message received by Near East Relief from Chicago headquarters of the appeal for grain to succor the people of the Bible lands. At State headquarters, 463 City Trust building, Prof. O. I. Christie's agricultural committee is planning the appeal for every county in Indiana. "It is a race with death—a race for life,” says a bulletin from .Alonzo Wilson. national field director. "The lifeboat is still here—empty and waiting for food to save the lives of our dear kiddies in the Near East. Many are dying daily. They hold out their bony fingers for just a taste of corn or wheat from your State. The call is urgent and from our highest officials on the ground asking us to hurriedly gather a minimum of 5.000,000 bushels of grain and rush it over to the Near East. “These kiddles, many born in comfortable homes, and just as sweet as our very own —whisper, ‘America, hurry, or we will perish.’ One bushel of old corn may put tan pounds on a hog. but the same corn given now will keep a boy or girl in the Bible lands alive for two or three months. ’’ The relief organization has received an c*f_. fifty bushels of corn from John L. Moorman, Starke County farmer and prominent Republican politician.

Liquidation of railroad la boy was necessary so, too. it was necessary to reduce railroad rates. The increase in rales had figuratively moved Dakota farms westward to Montana so far as cost of marketing the crops was concerned. Despite everything the signs of improvement were unmistakable and any man who Bold the Northwest short would go broke. Douglas A. Fisk, commenting on the business of the Northwestern terminal factories. said that while there had been no demand for industrial properties throughout the depression, inquiries now were being received. As proof of the fact that merchants and manufacturers are carrying small reserve supplies he said vacant warehouse space was very large. CITY HAS NO COMPLAINT TO MAKE. To sum up tho whole affair, Minneapolis has nothing particular to complain about, all things considered. Its unemployment has decreased gradually through spring and summer. The winter may change this somewhat, but not much. Its flour Industry, which is the biggest of the kind in the world, is active. Its flour mills have a capacity of 100,000 barrels a day. It is the largest linseed products center of the world und it doss an immense business in fruit and dairy products. The Minnesota State fair this year drew an immense number of visitors Any one who saw the solitude would not think there was anything the matter with the farm financially. There is not, so far as Minnesota itself is concerned, for It and Wisconsin probably have a larger dairy production than any other four or five States in America, and there is nothing particularly the matter with the dairy business, either in production or financial return. The city is growing. It is enterprising and has a fine spirit. In its terminal factory system, which is a modification of the Bush plan, it has possibilities of attracting a lot of industries. The system la well planned. Tho rates per square foot of apace are low and the location of the factories is admirable*. No city of the Northwest shows more evidence of wealth, solid, substantial building, fine shops, fine parks and broad enterprise. There are no slums. The thoroughfares are excellent and In the two days the writer spent there he encountered only one beggar.—Copyright, 1021, by Public Ledger Company. U. 8. USES MANY AUTOMOBILES.

Anew carburetor which cuts down gasoline consumption of any motor and reduces gasoline bills from one-third to one-half is the'proud achievement of the Air-Friction Carburetor Cos., 430 Madison St., Dayton, Ohio. This remarkable Invention not only increases the power of all motors from 30 to 50 per cent, but en aides every one to run slow on high gear. It else makes It easy to start, a Ford or any other car In the coldest weather. You can use the very cheapest grade of gasoline or half gasoline and half kerosene and still get more power and more mileage than you now get from the highest. lest gasoline. Many Ford owners say they now get as high as 45 to 50 miles to a gallon of gasoline. So sure are the manufacturers of the immense saving their new carburetor will make that they offer to send it on 30 days’ trial to every car owner. As It can be put on or taken off in a few minutes by anyone, all readers of this papqr who want to try It should send their name, address and make of car to the manufacturers at once. They also want local agents, to whom they offer exceptionally largo profits. Write them today.—Advertisement.

The Truth About Indianapolis ICE INDIANAPOLIS was the only city in the Central States that went through the hot summer of 1921 without an ice shortage. This was due to the foresight of the 15 Indianapolis ice producers in erecting plants capable of an annual production far in excess of the amount of ice consumed by the city each year. The total yearly capacity of these 15 ice plants is over 450,000 tons. During the summer the plants have a'l they can do to meet the demand, but during the winter a large part of the equipment stands idle, so that actual production each year is in the neighborhood of 200,000 tons of ice. with a retail value of considerably more than $1,000,000.

AUTO PRICES AT MINIMUM NOW, MAKERS STATE Advisable Not to Delay Purchase in Hopes of Further Cuts. Last week was another period es price reduction in the automobile industry.. The movement was Inaugurated early In the week by tha Olds Motor Works, which announced reductions ranging from SBO to $253 on its various Oldsinoltilo models. This announcement was followed Friday by a cut of SSO to SIOO on all models built by the Ford Motor Cos. Shortly afterward, the Chevrolet Motor Company announced a reduction of SIOO on all "4-00” models and on the one-ton truck, and a cut of $55 to $75 on the Moiled G truck. Willy*-Knight followed with price reductions ranging from $353 to s4o© on open and closed models, and Overland slashed all lists from SIOO to S3SO a modal. A price cut of S3OO on the various Franklin models also was announced. These price reductions, which in an cases are the second or third, were made possible, according to tho manufacturers, by improved manufacturing methods and economies and by the purchase of now materials at eheajusr rates. In all cases the new lists are declared to be “rack-bottom.," and in one or two instances perhaps lower than would ordinarily be possible. All the manufacturers are emphatic la declaring that In the present prices motor car values have reached their minimum, and that there Is no advantage, but, rather loss, to be sustained in waiting in expectation of lower prices. Not only are further reductions practically impossible, they declare, but further stabilization of the industry may result in slight increases.
