Autos
Eight-Tenths Of All Are
Owned in America.

The automobile industry is growing
so rapidly that few of us realize its
Importance. Ii fact the automobile
has become such 4 familiar adjunct OF
an object OF interest. From $4,000
registered passenger cars and motor
trucks owned throughout the United
States in 1914. the number had in
creased ut the end of last year to
3l5il,13S. That was 81 per cent of
lll the automobiles in the world. num-
bering something more than 1000. Ooo.
AS compared TO the amount OF
American wealth invested In motor
cars. that of other countries seems
small indeed. At the first Of the year
| there were 10000 automobiles in the
United Kingdom, according to the best
available information. These figures
undoubtedly would have been much
greater had it not been for the blight :
ing effects O. the war. and 1t is only
fair to say that the same thing ap-
plies to other belligcrcnts.
Almost every prosperous farmer
owns anautomobilc nowadays. In
Iowa, with n population OF 2,o20,3.l,
there were l72.7?l motor csirs 1T Tire
hast count. California. whose populD.
! ton numbers 2.93s,65i. had 2la,9ls
cars. IN Kansas and Dakota there Is
| ono car to every l6 persons. Other
! western and middle western states
| showed n similar average.
II has been computed that the bal
J ancc of the world should absorb nc
less than 5C.aOl.sl3 motor cars to oven
! up things with the United States on \
basis of population average. But
! those figures are largely fictitius. ke-
) cause il Ia apparent that Africa anG
Asia certainly could not purchase
automobiles as fast as Europe or South
| America. Russia is expected to prove
the worlds best market for autQmo-
! biles when peace has been declared
Because of the comparatively limited
railway mileage in that vast country,
and the necessity of travcrsins long
distances by road, the automobile
should become an important civiliz-
! ing factor.
| Just now the commercial car is in
crcasing in numbers more rapidly than
| the pleasure car. The day may be an
ticipatcd when horse drawn vehicles
| for commercial purposes will be a
rarity in cities of any size. The war
! has shown what dependence may be
placed upon the motor truck, and II
has come to stay.
The opportunity for foreign devel-
opment of the motor car industry Is
tremendous. ON January Of this year
there were but .775s motor cars in all
| Asia. less than the number to be found
! in an American city of the second
| class. South America. where mucl,
| wealth is to be found. had only 39.iss
| cars. In Europe there were just 49,
ass automobiles. To be on a par with
! the United States that continent would
J have to increase its ownership to 49,
! 5S3,3OO cars. OF course there are not
SO many in the world. But the day
! is undoubtedly coming when the auto
! mobile will be the main reliance for
| all kinds Of land travel. with the ex-
| ception OF the railways, and when II
| will be almost the sole dependence Of
! business.

public schools responsible for cncour-
aging the children in the primary
grades to view The film Jack and tho

q lesser mistake than encouraging such
attendance after previous inspection OF
the film. The scenery and settings rs
portrayed IN the picture were bsauti-
fu! and worthy Of the old nursery story

able reputation among leading women
of the stage, will be seen as Barbara.
To westerneIs. those men who by
mighty accomplishments have changed
a vast eXpanse,of mountain and desert
into lands Of fertility, peace and plenty.
there is always an interest in the
women that came with them and
shared their hardships and dangers.
Wright's picture of the true western
girl is an ideal; she was a girl well
worth winning, and Miss Hardy gets
out of the character that atmosphere
which the novelist, with his master
hand imbued. She looks the western
girl, she Is the western girl, she makes
as the author intended. Probably in
no other work of fiction than the one
in which her life story is told. has
there been pictured woman so
thoroughly typical of the great west.

Mark Swan, has drawn with unerring
hand, a figure which must ever stand
