AutOmObilOnS.

A good index to the extent OF
the automobile industry and, in
cidentally, to the prosperity OF
the Country, is the fact that the
record of licenses granted by the
State Highway Department now
exceeds one hundred thousand, a
number far in excess of that dur
ing the entire of last year. The
hotel registers of McConnells-
burg show greatly increased busi-
ness, largely the result of auto
mobile tourists; in fact, with the
present limit to the hotel facili-
ties, it is almost impossible to
care for the radidly increasing
business. The Bedford papers
say that in two consecutive days
recently, one of the garages in
that town attended to the wants
of 416 tourist automobiles, and
that the hotels and boarding
houses in that town are over
crowded. This, in the face OF
the fact that Bedford has three
garages-one cost ing twenty
thousand dollars, and another,
m ore tn an fifteen thousand.
These garages are fitted up with
restaurants, rest rooms for the
ladies', toilets, baths, and every
convenience for modern travel.
A large number of automobiles
have been sold in Fulton county
this year, and it will not be long
until an automobile will be as
common a piece of machinery on
the farm as the cornplanter and
the binder. An agent at Roaring
Spring, Blair county has sold
ninety.six Fords this season.
