MOTOR TRUCKS IN
 THE U.

The number of motor trucks now in use in the United States totals 961,- 635, as compared with the total motor vehicle registration of 9,295,252, ac- cording to compilations made by sta tistians of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co.
 The compilations are based on the actual truck registration figures of 30 states and estimates of motor ve- hicle registrars of the IS other states which do not segregate motor truck and passenger car registrations. They are conservative, possibly somewhat below the actual number of trucks in use.
 Many states which have not segre- gated motor truck and passenger car licenses in the past have arranged to do so this year. Consequently future estimates can be made with greater degree of exactness.
 According to the Goodrich figures, New York led all other states by a substantial margin with 132,524. Ohio came second with S3,300. Penn sylvania, which ranked third in the number of motor vehicles of all kinds, dropped to fourth place in the truck list, Illinois taking third place with 64,995. Pennsylvania's trucks totaled 52,6O5.
 It is interesting to note that 27 states, more than half the total num- Der, had 10000 or more trucks. Of this number, the large majority were states where considerable manufactur- ing is done. The agricultural states, however, were well represented, and it is safe to predict that in few years they will be in the majority.
