facturers of motor cars and accessories
alone, not TO mention dozens of other al
lied industries, are responsible for capt.
tai running into billions, and they en-
ploy over 500 900 working men.
In 1901 the total number OF cars
registered in New York State was
954, while the entire country had less
than 5000. Last year, according to
conservative figures obtained from the
licensing authorities in the several
states, the total number of separately
registered cars exceeded 100000. This
Is the movement which was laughed
at fifteen years ago, at which some
people called scientific men scoffed at
and ridiculed, and which the American
public thought was going to be pas
time of a few idle rich men and in
dulged in by enthusiastic, but crack
Drained amateurs. The position of the
automobile OF today is the crushing
answer to these critics.
And now for the future! No one can
say to what extent the all conquering
motor car will have still further dem
onstrated in the next fifteen years its
superiority over other modes of trac-
ton. Perhaps then our streets will
have become nearly horseless, our
main thoroughfares dustless and the
last remnants of public hostility will
have vanished. Even the law may have
to be altered to suit the new condi-
lions of affairs. At any rate. however
by 1880 the motor car will have influ-
enced human life whether in city oil
country, still more powerfully, and
the problem connected with road loco
motion will be recognized as all inn
portant in every civilized community

AUTOMOBILES future
Cannot Be FORETOLD
Passes Beyond Status of Fad and
Occupies Unique Position in
Locomotion's History.

rhe automobile has solved many prob

the past year has been beyond expecta-
tions. The future no one can predict
Automobile manufacturers have laid
plans for the coming year on huge pro-
duction figures.
The motor car occupies a unique posi-
ton in the mechanical locomotion fam

the i'll effects that followed the intro
ducion OF other forms of transportation
1t has given to municipalities the biggest
problem they ever tackled-the solution
OF street traffic regulations. There Is not
a city in the country where this problem
Is not serious and the subject OF great
thought.
No one now regards the motor car as
a mere fad. The world knows it has
fulfilled its mission. That 1t is a real
necessity for comfort, health and bust
ness progress. With millions Of American
made automob iles for this country the
expectation that the foreign demands
the coming year win be greater than
ever, the automobile industry Is counted
upon as advancing the business OF the
country generally. For the automobile

With all different types to choose from
small or large. with either four, six,
eight or tweive-cyltnders-overh ex-
penss cut down, simplicity the keynote
OF construction, the field for the auto
mobile is larger today than ever before.
The fact that the American public has
money, the banks have let down the
bars for the purchase OF automobiles
gives to the automobile manufs cturer
every opportunity to market big pro-
duction.
The motor car has many missions. II
first gives to the public the healthful and
stimulating pleasure OF flying through

PARIS, Nov. 6.-Six weeks of in- uuiry by the American Industrial Commission to France to investigate economic conditions has disclosed an agreeable disposition especially toward an increase of French trade with the United States. "The great est obstacle Americans will encount- CT" said William Wallace Nichols, chairman of the commission, "is in themselves. their own lack of know ledge about France and their hesi- tation in ayailing themselves of op- portmities here. The investigation has been most instructive for us. Several things are clear:
 "First. the economic health and soundness of France.
 Second. a great and permanent expansion Of commerce between the United States and France must rest upon reciprocity-a certain equilib- rum between exports and imports.
 Third, we will need revision of our commercial agreements with favored nation treaties on both sides.
