test Not single life was lost they
say, in a game where a physicians

game,
I'm most cases those who lost their

DEATH RATE Being REDUCED
Driving Automobile Is Held by Experts
to Be One Of Big Factors in Lower
Death Rate - City and Country
Closer, Thanks to Gasoline.

It may be difficult to say exactly
how many years an automobile adds
to a mans life, but fair estimate
would be ten years.
There is no gainsaying that the pos
session of a motor car increases the
number of years a man lives, especial
ly if in addition to owning the car the
owner drives it himself. For in that
way he gets the fullest possible bene-
fits in the way of health.
Of course, there is a certain amount
of worry and nervous strain which the
novice must undergo in learning to
drive his car and to handle it in any
traffic situation. However, after a week
or two at the wheel the nervousness
wears off, and then the pleasures and
benefits Of driving begin to pile up.
After the novice gets his bearings,
SO to speak, the act of driving be-
comes automatic in increasing measure.
He does not try to climb up on his
steering wheel, but sits back in relax
ed fashion. One expert says: CT
know that from practice I am able to
drive my car at good clip without
concentrating upon the act of driving.
On the contrary, I enjoy the sur
roundings as I travel along, and at the
same time get all the benefits of the
health and strength producing exer-
else attendant upon driving. n
The motor car has accomplished al

The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1916-03-09


vldual who once was classed as a tired
business man is tired no longer; he is
alert every minute; his eve has a
brighter sparkle; he is alive and keen
and responsive.
Figures prepared by the government
census bureau certainly show in strik-
ing fashion the decrease in our death
rate since the automobile came into
being; and, though we cannot give all
the credit to the use of motor cars,
still we must not ignore the fact that
motor cars have played their part in
helping us to live longer.
Let us look at these figures careful
~ In 1880 the death rate per thous-
and was 1913. In 1900 the rate had
gone down to 17.6 and in 1906, with
the further increase in the use of
automobiles, the death rate had reduc-
ed to 1871. Since 1906 it has wander
ed still further down the scale, reach
ing low water mark of 1879 per
thousand in 1912.
The answer you can find in the
above figures. The coming of the
automobile has indeed been an able
assistant to the progress of civiliza
tion In making man live longer. Of
course, it can be realized that as the
length of the average man S life in
creases the death rate decreases. One
fact finds its reflection in the other.
The more automobiles in use the
more man gets out into the country
and enjoys the benefits of a change of
scenery, fresh air and respite from
business cares. Likewise, the more
automobiles the more people give up
time to recreation and relaxation, par
ticularly when no mental strain is in
volved in operating the car. Automo-
bile drivers give this time to recrea-
ton and relaxation largely because
they find they can perform their regu-
lar daily tasks quicker and better.
The motor car has eliminated dis
tances and has enabled men to live
farther away from their work than
previously without causing them any
inconvenience. 1t encourages long
drives out in the country and broadens
and enriches ones experience by open
ing up new regions new beauties in
nature. It jams good, fresh air down
a mans throat and makes him feel
younger each day than he did the
day before.

NO HALT IN AUTO GROWTH
Even Panics Have Not Been Able to
stay Progress of the Great Business
In This Country and High Record
Is Expected During Coming Year.

In magnitude the automobile indus
trv is ranked fourth in the United
States, which easily leads all the ma
tions Of the world in the magnitude
of it's manufacturing interests. Lum-
Der heads the list, with steel and
clothing next in order.
This high place held by the auto
mobile industry is remarkable, princi-
palIy because it has been attained in
such brief space of time. Fifteen years
AGO the motor vehicle was rare sight
even on the streets of this city.
Twenty years ago the few men build
ing horseless carriages were consider
ed as fit subjects for a lunatic asylum.
Such success as these pioneers achiev-
ed only served to call attention to
their asserted need of legal restraint.
Twenty-Five years ago there were no
practical automobiles in this country
or abroad, and such as existed on
paper or in crude form were classed
with machines designed to solve the
problem of perpetual motion
That in this comparatively short
space of time the automobile should
have been 50 developed, and it's use
so extended, that the industry manu-
featuring it should be able to reach
fourth place among all the manu-
featuring interests Of this country, is
truly wonderful
There are now, in the United States
44S factories manufacturing automo-
biles of all types, and this figure does
not include the hundreds of plants
making tires, parts and accessories
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1916-03-09

These 448 automobile factories are dis
tributed among thirtyfour states,
Michigan leading with eightysix, New
York second with sixty, and Illinois
and Indiana next in order with forty
seven and forty-fve respectively. In
addition there are something like
10000 dealers and garages scattered
throughout the country.
According to statistics compiled by
the National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce, there were manufactured
in the United States in the year ending
last June, 703,527 automobile, valued
wholesale at $523, 463, 1903, an increase
over the preceding twelve months of
thirty-six per cent in the number of
vehicles and ten per cent in the value.
Lower prices, made possible by greater
productions, Standardization, and few
er changes in design, account for the
smaller increase in value.
Sales Of pleasure or passengers ears
of all types to June 80, which is the
end Of the year in the history, were
665,826, for which the manufacturers,
received $450,941, 131, while the sales
of commercial vehicles of all types es-
timated at 37,700, valued at 1882
692 The figures for twelve months
ending June 30, 1914, were 1901
cars, passenger and commercial, valued
at slightly more than 1885, 100000.
There are now over 100000 motor
vehicles in use in the United States, or
one to about every fifty inhabitants.
This fact leads some people to believe
that the maximum has about been
reached and that the industry has at
tanned its highest point.
That this belief is not held by the
manufacturers, and they are the ones
most concerned and best able to judge,
is indicated by the plans already made
to produce approximately 100000
cars during 1916. To make this mann
moth production possible something
like $30,000,O0O is being spent on new
buildings, machinery and increased
manufacturing facilities generally in
the automobile and allied industries.
The average selling price of the au-
tomobiles built in this country this
year is only little over $500 and this
average will be materially lower for
the coming twelve months. According
to data gathered by the federal income
tax bureau there are 100000 people
in the United States earning $1,000
and upward year, and to large per-
centage of these the ownership of an
automobile is possible. In addition
there is big field, especially for com
mercial vehicles, among the business
interests.
Couple with these facts the growing
prosperity throughout the country and
it would seem that the ambitious plans
Of the makers for the new year were
justified. And the fulfllment of these
plans promises to advance the Ameri-
can automobile industry up another
rung or two on the industrial ladder.
