motive industry still continues in its
era of unlimited expansion, says the
Goodrich Company. A year ago,
critics of the industry asserted that
no future year would show an IN
crease comparable with that of 1919
that the "saturation point" was al
most reached and that replacement
business would constitute large part
of manufacturers efforts from then
on. Yet a still greater gain is shown
this year, and the end is not yet in

HAYS GETS THE
BIG POSTOFF|CE
Announcement Made at Marion,
and Harding is Made Royal
Arch Mason

Marion, Ohio, Jan. 15.-Presi-
idcnt-elect Warren G.. Harding has
made his first cabinet section.
| That Will H. Hays, of Sullivan,
Ind, would be postmaster gcncr-
al in Harding cabinet was an
lnounced authoritatively Friday
night. Mr.. Hays is chairman of
the Republican national commit
tee.
Mr.. Harding, it is also said in
authoritative circles, has decided
on the entire personnel of his Of
.ficial family, but, it is added, he
may make one or two changes
before submitting the list.
Herbert 6. Hoover, former fed
eral food administrator, may be
member of the cabinet, but be-
cause of strong opposition that is
said to have developed in the sen
ate the probabilities are that he
will not be chosen.
When Mr.. Harding takes the
oath Of office next Mach 4 as the
president his creed will be that
expressed in Micah, sixth chap
ter and eighth verse. The verse
follows:
ale hath showed thee, Q man,
that is good, and what doth the
Lord require of thee to do justly,
and to love mercy, and to walk
huinbly with thy God.
The president elect made the
announcement relative to his pro-
posed creed Friday night after he
had been made a Royal Arch Ma
son, it became known today.
During the last ten days |
have been taken far back into the
story of creation and have found
it to be adding to my sense OF re-
ligious DEVOTION" Prcsident-clect
Harding said. according to the
statement given out "Prayer
grips the heart and adds to ones
confidence.
Il believe in prayer. | believe i'll
prayer in ones closet, for there
one faces God alone. Many times
the outspokcn prayer is only for
peoples ears. But / can under
stand how those Of old, in their
anxicties. problems. pcrturbations
and perplexitics, found courage
and strength when they gave
their hearts to the great, olnnipo-
tent God in prayer.
''How many things arc in the
Scriptures that we. in our world
illness. never discovcr?"
After all. men are very much
alike. God made us all in the same
image and there is no difference
III us except as we have develop
cd. or when the weight of rcspOn
sibility is shouldercd on us then
God makes men equal to that re-
sponsibility. 1t is the touch Of re-
sponsibility that makes human
beings awake.
"Thc government of this rcpub-
lie has been adrift and the incvi-I
table result has followed. But ]
am not afraid. because | know
through courtesy, confidence and
close adherence to justice one will
have at his call the best minds and

and with their truths, advice and
direction, we cannot go wrong.

AUTOS INCREASE
MILLION AND HALF
Registration Shows Kentucky in
10Th Place Among States,
With 1860 Cars

Akron, O., Jan. 15-Motor vehicle
registrations for the past year OBJ
tained from the various states by the
B. f. Goodrich Rubber Co., show there
are now 9,274,920 passenger cars and
trucks in use throughout the United
States-one for every 11.8 persons.
This is an increase Of 1,670,904, or
21.9 per cent, over December 81, 1919,
when there wer 7,6O4,61O motor We
hicleS registered.
The gain during the past year was
greater than that of any previous
year and is considered exceptionally
remarkable by officials of the auto
motive industry in view of the adj
verse business conditions throughout
the country during the last part of
1920. The largest previous gain was
,457 ,399 in 1919.
Every state in the union showed Il
gain during the year, Virginia lead
ing with 51.1 per cent, and Tennessee
last with IA per cent. The majority
of states showed increases ranging
from Is to "a per cent In a general
way, the figures show agricultural
states made better gains than indus
trial states.
The race between New York ans,
Ohio for supremacy in the number of
motor vehicles has again turned in
New Iork's favor. The mid-year
registrations last summer showed
Ohio leading by $1,000 cars and it
was thought it would maintain its
lead for the entire year Thousands
of New York owners registered later,
however, and the final figures showed
New York with 692, ,l71 and Ohio with
$4,000.
Nevada is still badly mired in the
"cellar" position, having only 1O,474,
as compared with 9,3O5 a year ago.
An analysis of the registrations by
states show that eight have more au-
timobiles within their Individual Gin
fines than the entire continct of Eu-
rope. These states New York
Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, Iowa,
Texas, and Michigan-have a COM
bined registration of 1926, ,686.
Four new states entered the list of
those having 100000 or more cars.
They We're Virginia, Kentucky, Mary
land, and Oregin. Of these, Virgin
ia showed the greatest increase, hav-
ing advanced from 400 to 142,154,

Behind shield of plausibilty, tile
promoter sends his money solicitors

little of the money raised actually is
used to assist the unemployed eX-

care to see that his account books, If
he keeps any, never record the full
amounts which have been extracted
from the sympathetic public. And II
he makes pretense OF accounting for
the way the money is expended, this
accounting is only clever cOnstruc-
