New Jersey and West Virginia lead
the country in gain in registrations
over last year with an incrca So. i.
per cent each. Next ranks Arkansas,
Kansas and Mississippi each with 80
per cent gain. The smallest increase
was made by Massachusetts; only /
per cent more cars were licensed up
until June l than during 1917.
The six states having the greatest
number of cars named according to
their rank are New York. Illinois, Ohio,
pennsylvania Iowa and California. The
aggregate registration of these six
states - 2, 154,360 automobiles and
trucks nearly equals the total number
registered in the other forty-two states.
According to the Goodrich figures the
money paid by motor vehicle owners for
license tags up to June l amounts to
s4l '4oO,9OS and most of this tremendous
sum will be expended for improving
and extending the national network
Of highways.
INDICATIONS from most of the states
are That the total registration for the
year 1913 Will be surprising, consider
ing wartime conditions. Ohio officials
say they expect a registration of be-
tween 425,000 and 100000; Arkansas
estimates $4,000 for the entire wear:
and according to dispatch received
by Goodrich this week from California.
that states total has reached 35l .OS9
or nearly $4,000 more cars Registered
to-day than on June /. In other words
CaIlfornla's increase in two month s.
.ime was l5 per cent, in addition to
ner gam OF 70 per cent made during tho
nrs' hVc months of this year.

Rural Express Lines
Increase Farm Products

The National Motor Truck Com
mittee, at 7 East Forty-second Street.
this city, has prepared a pamphlet,
Reorganization of Rural Express
Line" which furnishes every detail
of organization and operation 1t in
cludes a list of services the truck
owner may render, sample cost and
charges sheet, tells how to make a
preliminary survey of the proposed
route and canvass of prospective GUS
toners, suggests operating plans, how
to advertise. how to interest the
farmer and merchant, and shows how
and why every one in the community is
interested. copy may be obtained
by any one, on application, without
cost.
rural motor express line means
the operation of a truck between towns,
calling for the farmers produce. car
rying it to market, and bringing back
anything the farmer, merchant, hotel
or other consumer may need.
The express line increases the food
supply. by furnishing regular trans
portation of farm products; stimu-
lates the farmers efforts by the
knowledge that such TRANSPORTATION
is available; enables the farmer
to avoid driving to town. thereby in
creaslng his time on the farm and
partly compensating for the shortage
of labor; enables the farmer to obtain
goods from town on the day of order,
and generally facilitates traffic between
the farmer, the market and the con-
sumner
Hundreds of lines are in operation.
There are twenty-five running into
Washington and carrying 100 tons Of
food daily, as we'll as carrying mer-
chandisc back to the farmers. Produc-
, ton has been greatly stimulated and
many farms previously idle are now
under cultivation.

Every State in Union Shows
Gain in Cars Registered

An idea of the enormous task before
Uncle Sam when he starts to classify
automobiles can be had from figures
gathered by the B. +. Goodrich Rubber
Company from the various Secretaries
of State of the Union, which show
5,46l, 791 motor cars, including trucks,
registered on Juno 1, 1918. For the
first five months of this year Is per
cent more cars were licensed than
during the whole of 1917, an increase
of C50,S74.
The cars registered June 1, together
with the limited number now being
manufactured and the second hand
cars that will be reclaimed from the
junk heap and put in running order.
Will represent Americas total next
year and probably for the duration of
the war. The trend of war times has
decreed that the manufacture of pas
senger automobiles must gradually
diminish.
Here are the registration figures for
this year and last and the percentage
OF increase in each state:

ought to keep record to determine
just what the cost per mile is this
will help in making selection of a
new tire.
The size of the tire to be used on
each particular car has been deter
mined by the manufacturer and it is
usually we'll to replace an old tire with
a new one of the same size. But this
is not an inviQlable rule. A tire may
economy. If the prescribed size is used
and the mileage does rot come up to
what it should, it is possible the car
is overloaded and larger size Of tire
is needed. Sometimes the reverse is
true when a heavy body is removed
and light one put on. In such a case
a smaller tire would cost less and prob
ably give the same mileage, effecting a
saving on cost per mile.
Often the statesmen make much of the
fact that their tire has one more layer
OF fabric than other tires of the same
size. 1t may or may not be of value.
1t may be made of poor material and
not have the strength of another tire
with less fabric. Again, q tire with
multiple layers Of fabric may be so
stiff and lacking in rcsiliency that it
makes riding hard. 1t must have layers
enough to give the necessary strength.
Regarding beads: With the new type
rims the straight side tire has become
more popular and it is very satisfac-
tory for general use. The clincher tire,
when it rusts fast TO the rim, is much
more difficult to get loose than the
straight side. which has this additional
point in its favor. In buying straight
side tires be sure to get the liner which
goes next to the rim and is usually
fastened to the tire Without it rust
from the rim may eat through the tube,
or the rim may otherwise damage it.

There Are Some Very
Big Difference"
In Tires
Bv II. Clifford Brokaw

Do your tires make you tired? Not
only IS 10 the expense of renewals, but
as to comfort in riding? These are
matters governed by the sort Of Cal
you run and by the tires with which il
is equipped
Tires probably are less understood
than anything else about The car. The
salesman puts up an interesting lot OF
patter about the tire he sells. and il
he handles several makes talks ghbly
are all "the very best made" But do
you understand what he says and can
you detect the sophistry in his selling
talk? Or does your searchlight fail
to penetrate his camouflage?
Often seconds Of a reliable make of
tire can be bought at a greatly reduced
figure and give very good service. but
the general run of seconds will be
found poor. Often they are discarded
tires which are recovered with rub
Der and single lining of fabric put on
the inside. This gives a very good ap-
Dearance, but the fabric carcass is prac-
tically worn out and the tire may blow
out inside of one hundred miles, even
though the tire has the appearance of
having several thousand miles in it
This type Of tire second can be detected
by examining the inside to see if there
is an extra layer Of fabric cemented in

The main thing to consider in buying

not care to keep set of books on his
