Official Figures Show
Steady Increase in
Industry.
ALL INDICATIONS POINT
TO EVEN GREATER RISE
New York Retains Lead, While
Jersey Drops to Seventh
Place.

While the growth of the automo-
bile in America is universally regard
ed as one of the most remarkable
features of the worlds commercial
progress, few persons have any def
mite idea of the exact figures which
represent this amazing industry. Each
successive year seems to astound, not
only the public, but the manufactur-
ers themselves
At the beginning of the present
year the United States government
and many commercial bodies allied
with the industry announced figures
that would almost seem to have
marked the zenith Of production and
use of the motorcar.. but 1t appears
that from a very exhaustive and COM
prehensive article, we have, even as
yet, only scratched the surface.
24.e Per Cent. increase.
The average percentage Of increase
In the registration of cars in the
United States for the past six
months. according to The Automo-
bile, was 24.6 per cent, as compared
with 1876 per cent. for the entire
year preceding January, 1911. At this
rate the percentage for the twelve
months between January l and De-
cember 81. 1912, would be 4s.2 per
cent, or an increase over the twelve
months preceding January 1, 1912, of
nearly 10 per cent.
The total registration of gasoline
passenger cars between January and
July this year has been 500, s5S for the
entire United States. This is 1873
per cent. increase over 1s1k Between
July 1, 1911, and July of this year
the American manufacturers pro-
duced 252. $50 cars of all sorts.
An estimate based on the most
conservative and accurate figures OBJ
tainable indicates that there are at
present in use in the United States
sSe, 900 automobiles in service, allow
ing 1855 as registered in duplicate.
During the last six months there
have been registered in all of the
states S1,s14 commercial gasoline We
hicles and 1900 electric vehicles. at
q total registration fee of 81, 769, S73.
Among the States, New York still
retains the lead in the number Of

MOTOR CARS OPEN AN
ISOLATED SPOT IN TEXAS

III LHI
The most remarkable story Of motor
car performance that has been told
for a good While from Texas,
Where the automobile is developing
the country in a way that was inn
/ possible until the trackless transpor-
tation service appeared. The story is
told by John Stuart cooniey, of Chi
cago.
I'VE were establishing a town about
three years ago down on the south
plains of Texas, just below the Pan
handle says Mr.. Coonley. ITO keep
An touch with the world we instituted
an automobile line between our town
and the nearest railroad point, fifty
five miles away. We had two cars,

ens-Duryeas I bought from the Chi
cago agent who had sold me my
twentieth Century Hustler Stevens
Duryea three years before.
'One of our pair of cars made the
trip from our Texas town to the rail-
road and back each day, the running
time being about four and a half
hours. The country where these cars
u is just above the Breaks which
Dis the rough land lying between the
plains and the Black Lands, and on
many occasions the cars are run
through this rough country-a very
much tougher proposition for an
automobile, of course, than any or
binary driving.
II have just returned from Texas
and find the cars still giving excellent
service. In considering this record 1t
is to be remembered that the cars
were second hand when purchased
This is the sort of thing thai is
putting American motorcars in the
lead the world over as t~rahsporta-
tion equipment in regions where the
railroad is not yet available.

PRES. WHITE TO ADDRESS

Wilkesbarre, Pa, May 15.-In-
dications today are that the infu-
ence of President White Of the

strong enough to offset the. report
made by the general scale COM
nittee of the anthracite miners,
rejecting the compromise agreed
upon by the joint subcommittee;
and that the convention here will

ton.
White, who is a conservative,
has scored the general committee
for its report. Heretofore he has
always been able to swing the
delegates by his presence on the
floor, and he is expected to do SO
again. He,has prepared a speech
in support Of the compromise
thatwill take ten hours TO deliver.
1t covers every point IN the
controversy. Members of the
committee, who rejected the COM
promise, but failed torecommend
any substitute that would lead to
an adjustment, are severely ar
raigned. White charges they
would wreck and not construct.
He points out that the treasury
Ois depleted; that but a small num-
Der of miners are paying dues,
