the growth of the motor vehicles in New York during that period
 '.When these statistics are inspect ed it is found that the past year New York State had more than two and one-half times as many automobiles as it had in 1916- Of course. it is not to be expected-and much less desired-that the accident rate should correspond precisely with the rate of increase in motor traffic. But in fair ness to the motorist the public should understand that. after all, the chief and all-powerful reason for the jump in automobile fatalities is the jump in automobile registrations.
 Furthermore, do not believe that there is much connection between the accident rate and the fact that the law now permits non-residents of
 this city to operate for ten days in the metropolis without a license. It would be wise to change the law, as the association suggests, but. the most l important method of cutting down | accidents and collisions is to keep UT a constant educational and safety.

Motor Trips Not Always Strictly
 Pleasure Jaunts

Automobiles are used more for business than anything else. And when we speak of businss we do not mean only those cars whcih are used in a strictly commercial sense. We refer to all passenger cars in general use.
 It has been calculated that so per cent. of the cars which you see daily in your own community are employed in the business of their owners. Aside from the salesman's trip, the doctors call the farmers going to will see passenger cars meeting trains, taking women on shopping tours, carrying messages or parcels for private owners, serving as the most convenient quick method of transportation whenever the need for travel arises.
 Even the holiday tour or the even ing ride out into the country or the trip to the moving picture show, or to neighbours home for a social call cannot be called strictly pleasure. Of course, the use of an automo- bile affords pleasure. Any improved method of doing anything affords pleasure. And the automobile gives a vast amount of pleasure, because it is such a great improvement in trans portation.
 ] It pIeases the business man to save | time, money, and effort in getting | from one place to another, in getting | more things done more efficiently. i But you do not call commercial | automobile a pleasure car. 1 So it is with recreation. Only the
 remaining 20 per cent. of the service
 of passenger automobiles is given | over to recreation alone. But this
 use of motor vehicles is not strictly i a pleasure use. In such cases the I owner uses his car as an improved | transportation utility.
 Without an automobile of his own I he would have to depend on some other form of conveyance. In this l case, the distance and direction he
 could go, the time he would consume

Motor Fatalities
 Unfairly Figured

Statistics recently given out by the New York State Automobile Associa- ton-f1gures which have received widespread publicity because Motor Row, on the ground that while they are accurate in themselves, they are misleading to the public. MT. Larson also says he regrets that an asso- citation which has done such admir- able work for the motorist should put forth the statistics without suffi- cient explanation.
 'The association points out,'' MT. Larson declares, ''that the death toll in this State has mounted from 600 fatalities five years ago to 1,291 in 1920, but it does not give figures on

TOKYO, June is. - Despite tne
warnings of the governor of the
Bank of Japan and a few other
Japanese financial experts, the ousi-
ness community here is attempting
to avoid the losses due to recon
struction. Instead OF accepting the
world trade situation, pocketing the
inevitable losses. and attempting to
increase production, japanese ousi-
nessmen are trying to dispose OF
their accumulated stocks at war
prices through stopping or limiting
production.
As result, Employment is

prevents wage reductions. The gov
eminent is continuing this policy,
which at first was necessary in order
to prevent widespread bankruptcy.
but now il is encouraging lodging
the issues which are worldwide.
An example of the present Jap
anese policy is seen in the crea-
ton OF a government-fin cor
poration to purchase silk whenever
the export quotations fall below l.
500 yen (normally about $3.50, per
bale, with silk producers curtail-
ing their production in order to
increase the scarcity. Many of the
smaller handlers are reported to be
violating the price agreement. while
the silk bureau is establishing a
supply in China, where II demands

WHEAT ERRATIC
IN GOOD RANGE
Mixed Reports of Crop Condi-
tions, and Rust Rumors,
Bring Further Decline.

CHICAGO. June Is. - The wheat
market was decidedly unsettled and
fuctuated rapidly within a fairly
good range. Hot and dry weather
prevailed over the grain belt, but
the forecast was for showers and
cooler and had some effect on the
market, as rain Is badly needed In
many sections. especially in the
Northwest, where drouth has COM
menced to affect the crop outlook.
Reports from local experts who are
in South Dakota showed mixed con-
ditions, with prospects Of q bumper
yield in some sections vanishing
rapidly. Red rust Is being found
over a wider territory, which the
trade take as indicating that the
black rust will be in evidence later
in the season. The spring wheat
crop is not sufficiently advanced at
the present time to be damaged ma
terially by black rust. There was
