Suva, Jan. 15.

THE simple native at last has caught up with the idea of “joy-riding” in motor cars, and several Europeans lately have had their cars stolen during their temporary absence.

There were no lamentations when it was reported that the latest victim was the Commissioner of Police. We hope now that the evil will be very sternly dealt with.

The police ask car-owners to assist in discouraging this practice by locking their cars when they are parked anv where in the town.
