COMPENSATION
 LAWS FINDING
 FAVOR ALL OVER

Recent gains for labor and industry sation laws, as well as in the rapid spread of state funds to provide insur- ance protection against industrial ac- cidents at cost, are reported by the American Association for Labor Leg islation.
 During 1919 four additional states en- acted compensation laws. More than thirty states amended their existing acts, with trend generally toward more liberal ben efits, shorter waiting periods before payment begins,, and wider scope. Twenty seven states now have waiting periods of seven days or less. Ten states increased the scale of compensation, making twenty two states that now provide compen- sation for injured workers of at least 60 to 66 2-3 per cent of their wages.
 The new legislation of the past year brings the total of workmen's com pensation up to forty-two--Which means that five-sixths of the map of the United States has been covered in the space of ten years. Porto Rico, Alaska, and Hawaii also have com pensation laws and the federal govern ment protects it's million civilian en- plOyeeS with a model measure. Only six non-industrial states in the south-- Arkansas, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, Georgia and F1orida--remain without this form of accident protec- ton.
 Sixteen states and Porto Rico have already established, state funds for in- surfing at cost the compensation lia- bility of employers. Since the laws compel employers to furnish such pro- lection to injured employees says Secretary John B. Andrews of the As sociation for Labor Legislation, ''the movement to provide the insurance al actual cost through state funds is making steady progress. Recent of- ficial Investigations in New York Pennsylvania and Ohio disclosed that compared with the stock casualty com panies, the state funds result in sav- ings of millions of dollars every year to industry while at the same time providing more certain and liberal benefits to injured workmen and their families. Ohio's exclusive state fund which is not subjected to the disad- vantages of competition by commer- cia1 insurance, has been able to show the best results for labor and indus try.''
 Increases in the maximum weekly scale of compensation under all laws are urged by the Association as nec- essary to offset the decreased pur- chasing power of the dollar, and to render justice to wage earning groups who otherwise are deprived of the two thirds of wages promised in the 1awS

Gain

Nearly s65,oOO,ooo in fees were paid during 1919 by the automobile owners of the United States. A road auth ority stated recently that 95 per cent of the registration fees paid in the various States goes annually toward the building and maintenance of good roads, Thus the motorists of this country have contributed about $62,75O,00O during the past year toward good roads.
 The sum paid to the various States as fees during 1919 exceeds by near ly $15,0O0,00O the figures for the previous year.
 The rapidity with which manu- facturers readjustsd themselves to reace-time conditions, changing from war work to a commercial production basis, is strikingIy illustrated by the production figures for 1919. 1,S91,- 929 cars and trucks were produced in the United States during 1919, a gain of nearly 100000 over the war year 1918, and only slightly behind 1917 when 1,93S,77S vehicles were pro- duced. This figure is especially sig nificant when the difficulties of read justment are considered, coupled with labor troubles and shortage of ma terialS

HOW AUSTRIANS
 RESPECTED PURCHASERS.

Captured Austrian sailors who showed the most friendly disposition toward their American enemies. though they displayed the most bitter hostility toward their German allies, expressed their admiration for the work of our subchaSers. These little boats the Austrians now informed us, were responsible for a mutiny in the Austrian sub marine force. Two weeks after their arrival it was impossible to compel an Austrian crew to take a vessel through the straits, and from that time, until the ending of the war, not a single Austrian submarine ventured upon such a voyage. All the submarines that essayed the experiment after this Austrian mu- tiny were German. And the Ger many crews, the Austrian officers said, did not enjoy the experience any more than their own.

CARS
 REGISTERED IN
 J. s. LAST YEAR
More Than Million Over Best Previous
 Record.

There are 7,523,664 cars and trucks in the United States today, a net in- crease of ], 1,434,90 over 1918. This is the highest number that has ever been reached and surpasses all esti- mates made at the beginning of the year. In view of the present de- mand for cars, this figure of over seven and one-half millions already in use is particularly significant
 Not only did the total number of cars reach a new mark in 1919, but the increase of 1,434,909 ever 1918 is the greatest ever recorded for a single year.
 This record marks the fourth con secutive year in which the number of cars in this country has increased more than a million. The average in- crease for the country was 23.2 per cent. The record since 1913 is as fol- lows:

WOULD .DRY" SCOTLAND.

Edinburgh, Mar 2. - Scotland's new local option law will come into effect on June l, and the prohibition ists are projecting a lively campaign throughout the country to persuade the people to vote their districts dry at the next election. The pro- hibitionists express the hope that if Scotland can be made dry under this law, England and Wales may demand similar legislation.

Washington. Jan. 1z-People- who
are paying p and % cents pound
