One Car For Every Eleven Persons in
Iowa, California Second.
Washington, July 13.-Iowa led the
United States in 1915 in the number
of motor cars registered in proportion
to population. She had one car for
every eleven persons. California was
a close second with one car to every
twelve inhabitants. Nebraska and
South Dakota had one for every thir-
teen. Arkansas could show but one for
every 116. The average for the United
States is~ones car$for every twenty7nine
persons, according to. fgurescpresen
by the office of public roads.
The New England states-were more
uniformly supplied with motor cars
than any other section. They averaged
one car to about every twenty-seven
persons. The prosperous corn-beIt
states also showed a fairly uniform
distribution of cars. The south, which
does not possess as great mileage OF
improved roads as other. sections OF
the country, had relatively fewer cars
in proportion to population.

In an official ruling on the law made
to Secretary of State Allen, the as

things, says:
1T is evident that when the legis-
lature adopted the substitute shown
on page 763 of the house Journal It
was it's intention to require all of the
directly reflected beams of the light to
be depressed below the said forty-two
inch line, but it is equally evident that
by the amendment thereafter adopted
the language expressing said intent
was stricken out and language en-
ployed indicating an intent to require
the light to be raised above such forty
