Automobiles Hit 5000 Mark

Over 500 more automobile licenses
were issued in Whitman county in
1919 than in 1918, according to the
auditors records. 1t is now up to
Census Director McCroskey to tell
where there is one automobile for
every seven people in the county. Up
to the last day of 1919 the auditor
has issued 1897 automobile licenses
since March /, Two or three sales
have been made by Colfax automo-
bile dealers in the last week and the
cars have not been taken out and
the new licenses have not been Sc
cured, therefore the number stood
at three less than 5000 on the last
day of the year.
In 1918 the auditor issued 4440
automobile licenses and in 1917 the
number was 1880. In 1916 there
were only 29O2 licenses.
More than $4,000 in automobile
license fees was paid in Whitman
county during the past year. OF this
amount S1276.50, or % cents for
each license, remained in the county
funds, while $71 900 was RENTED
to the state treasurer for redistribu-
tion in the permanent highway main
tenance fund and part of it will
come back to the county. In 1918
the automobile license fees collected
in this county amounted to only
S29,6S5.
More Hunting Licenses Than Ever
With the issuance of 565 county
hunting licenses and 173 state hunt
ing licenses, all records were bro
ken. The county licenses sell at 81
each and are good only in the coun-
ty. The state licenses sell for 50
and are good in any county in the
state.
In 1918 the county auditor issued
527 county licenses and 104 state
licenses. In 1917 there were sol
county licenses and 73 state licenses.
Auditors Business Grows
Fees in all departments of the
county auditors office show materi-
al increase. With 1851 papers filed,
! the filing and recording fees amount
ed to $61S7 in 1919. In 1918 the
| filing fees amounted to $4713. In
1917 the filing fees amounted to
1896. Marriage license fees in
1919 were S4O6. in 1918 they We're
1884 and in 1917 they were S4SS.
The county's share of the automobile
license fees amounted to $1276.5l
in 1919, TO $111O in 1918, and to
$213.35 in 1917.

To eliminate as much as possible
this cause for complaint they should
first make sure that the clutch
throwout lever is adjusted so that.
with the hand brake lever set, the
clutch is fully disengaged. As this
relieves the steel discs in the clutch
of all pressure from the clutch
spring, it should permit sufficient
separation of the driving from the
driven discs to allow them to turn
freely on each other This is neces-
sary because the driving discs are
connected to the engine crankshaft
and the driven discs can not revolve
without turning the rear wheels
But if the lubricating oil used is of
too heavy body, the discs will still
have tendency to stick together
and make cranking difficult
In the Ford power plant the
clutch is combined with the engine
and fabricated from the supply OF
oil in the crankcase. If the oil in
use has a Zero Cold Test it will not
CONCEAL or become too heavy at any
temperature above zero, and the
clutch discs will then separate freely
when relieved of the pressure of the
clutch spring. This will permit the
engine to be cranked with minimum
| effort, and will check the tendency
of the car to creep forward.

DISTRIBUTION NOT UNIFORM
Average of rs Motorcars for Every
Mile of Public Road in the
United States.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture0
The total road mileage of the
United States outside incorporated
towns and cities is about 2,456,000
miles. With a total registration of
6146,617 motor vehicles there was,
therefore, an average of % motor
cars for every mile of public road in
the United States. The distribution
of ears among the several states, how
ever, is far from uniform. Thus, Ne
vada has but two cars to every three
miles of road, while Rhode Island has
10 cars TO each mile of rural road.
Furthermore, while there was an aver
age of one mOtorcar registration for
every 16 persons in the United States,
in the states Of California and Ne
braska there was one car for every
seven persons, and one car for every
eight persons in Iowa and South Da-
kOta, but only one car for every 81
persons in Alabama, every 46 in Louis
lana, or every A. persons in Arkansas.
