A report of motor vehicle exports to
all countries during 1918 shows that
10,30s trucks, valued at s26,s14,952, and
36,936 passenger automobiles, valued at
S36,27s,2e2, were shipped abroad last
year. In the fiscal year ended June 80,
1914, the last twelve months period be-
fore the war. we exported only 7s4
trucks, worth si,1S1.611, and 2s,3o6
passenger automobiles, worth s25,392,-
963.
Analysis of the exports in 1918. as
compared with 1914. shows that while
the exports of passenger cars to Eng
land. France Germany, Russia and Brit
sh South Africa decreased notably, and
increased only slightly in Australia,
They doubled to Canada, increased
twenty-eight-fold to japan, twelve-fold
TO Mexico, nearly nine-fold to Chile and
Spain, six-fold to Cuba and China, more
than seven-fold to Uruguay. more than
quadrupled to the Dutch East Indies

company and the knocked-down lady
that IL was not their fault, and they
went on their way rejoicing. As they
proceeded toward Chestnut street they
perceived that gasoline was squirting
out of tiny hole on the top'of the small
box by the car step. So they promptly
decided that they had injured the car
when humping into the trolley and, with
large and persuasive eyes and sweet
voices, they induced a Passing male to
whitte a match down and push 1t into
the airhole. which was there. of course
for a purpose Then they proceeded on
their intricate way down Chestnut street
till they reached Eighth. Then the car
lust naturally refused to go another inch.
And when last heard Of they were be-
ing dragged from the car track by an
other motor. after having held up the
traffic for fifteen minutes--and all be-
cause they had stuck that match in and
did not know II was a natural-born air
hole and not an injury. So II goes.

change may be expected in the exporta-
tion of passenger cars and trucks with
the ending of the war is the view of the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce. During the war. It is pointed
out, yearly exports of cars more than
doubled over the pre-war shipments, due
to the inability Of European makers to

uOW foolish. 1t is very likely the
IL man in his automobile worked
very hard to save the money to buy
it. 1t Is always well for us to re-
member these things when we are IN
clined to be a little bitter at the pros
perity of those who ride while we
walk. Automobiles do not grow on
trees. And neither does much other
good fortune. Prosperity. on the
whole, is really another name for
rolling up your sleeves and getting
down to hard work.
Half of those who are riding, any
way, are apt to be those who are
walking wien we| are the fortunate
ones skimming along. So there we
are. We cannot all take our luxury
at once or in fact our constitutionals
or the traffic would get all out Of
keller.
T OOKING calmly and judiciously on
IL the rights of others, those who
have automobiles and those who have
not, saves temper and trouble. This
applies to all phases of our daily con-
tact with each other. We all have in
much at cross.purposes as the pedes-
trian and the automobile who both
think they have the right to the
whole road. There is room for every
thing and everybody If a man only
remembers life is not a selfish game,
but one that must be played with con.
sideration.

to a law which will make Colorado

trines, is emphatically approved by
every member of the Legislature.
The members further believe the
Governor was right in emitting from
the call any reference to a blue sky
