tion of 31,272 new cars for 1913 ex-
ceeds that Of New York, its nearest

was announced that 10000 automo-
bile and motorcycle owners had filed
applications for license under the new

at the rate of 5000 daily. More than

proximately $4,000 machines are now
being operated in the state exclusive

PLAYED SANTA TO THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN

Guiding Gluck's own family, who glad
" would have helped him had they
known his need.
: But they did not. Only certain
charity workers were familiar with 1t
and the operation of the benehcent
machines they set in motion was too
slow to save bis life. Had he lived
another day or two he would have
been well cared for; but he did not
i've that other day or two.
Well, after that, Gluck gave much
thought to matters of the sort, decid-
ing, finally. that it might be possible
to bring the need and the impulse to
give into something nearer speaking
distance. The Santa Claus association
was the ultimate result. 1t seems to
have been amazingly effective.
In the fourteen days preceding
Christmas it received $4,000 letters
1000 every day-from little ones who.
through them, aimed to reach to the
headquarters OF the Christmas spirit.
A careful estimate Of fact proved
that these $4,000 letters represented
not less than two children each upon
the average. This would give total
child population of $4,000 who within
two weeks grasped and acted upon
the Santa Claus association idea.

his mind that he would not talk except
upon two subjects, those being the
two in whose interest he had started
for this side. Those matters are the
approaching centenary of peace be-
tween England and the United States
and the Anglo.American exposition,
which will celebrate that one hun.
dredth anniversary.
Lord kintore, who Ia privy coun.
cilor and a grand commander of the
order Of St. Michael and St George,
is chairman OF the executive commit
tee OF the Anglo-American exposition.
He is the head Of an old Scottish fam

years he was governor OF South Aus
