State Closed Year With 1O6,S09
Motor Cars Here.
Nearly a Motor Car for Every
Second Family.

The state closed the old year with
160,S09 motor cars-a record of al
most a car for every second family
according to a statement from the
motor license department at the state
house. According to the report the
state acquired 45,541 new cars during
the year just ended.
At the close of 1916, there were
114,366 motor cars in the state.
Based on the population of the state
as shown by the 1917 census returns.
the present record of 160,S09 cars
means a gasoline wagon for each 10.4
persons. The average family is listed
as composed of five persons. With the
present available car Supply-trucks,
vans. touring cars, and hug 'em ups
one-half of the population of the state
might go joy riding while the remain

that the Kansas record is exceeded
only by California, Iowa and Nebraska.

NOT NOISY HERE
Topeka Welcomed New Year in
Quiet Manner.
Watch Parties, Dances, but
Very Little Sparkling Wine.

When the New Year rubbed the
sands of time from it's eyes last mid
night and looked upon Topeka, scores
of watch parties, scattered whistles
and the intermittent booming of guns
heralded a welcome.
The demonstration was not noisy,
yet fully half the city must have been
awake. The evening in most parts of
the city was quiet, only one exception
being recorded so far.
Absence of cabarets and cafes
wherein hilarity is possible curtailed
revelry. In the face OF the bone dry
law, however, it is whispered that in
dozens of homes rousing toests and
glasses of good will were sacrificed
upon the atlas of the good Good
Luck" Nor did the glasses contain
water. In truth. the mains kept in so
good repair by the city water depart
ment were hardly molested.
Something of calm preceded the
minute when the patriarch, 1917, tot
tered and fell and the path of time
felt the feet of the child year. The
first sound to break the stiffness was
a roar of a couple of whistles. This
was a signal for bells and gunshots.
Undoubtedly, the war was response
BILE for the quiet welcome, yet there
was but little gloom, tho in the hearts
of every man the mystery of What
will another New Year bring?" was
prCpounded

1918 YEAR OF VICTORY
This Lloyd Georges Hope Expressed
in New Years Messages.

London, Jan. 1.-The New Years
message sent by the premier to the
United States is similar in tenor to
MESA ges sent to all the entente ma
tions except Russia. The premier
thanks them all for the fortitude of
their military and naval forces. The
communication to the United States is
the only one which mentions the
league of nations standing as the
guardian of justice and liberty.
The dispatch to Japan is somewhat
shorter than the others, mentioning
only that nations naval services. All
of them, except the ones sent to
America and Japan close thus:
No words of mine can adequately
convey our sense of what we owe to
the forces which are fighting and suf-
fering so that those behind the lines
may enjoy liberty and peace. We can
only thank them from the bottom of
our hearts, in full confidence that the
New Year will see the fruition of their
sacrifices in victory

The treasury financial summary

partment expenses for munitions and

this country whose debt before the
