LIT TIE SIX |S PRODUCT
 IF STUDEbAkER

Since the arrival Of the Studebaker Light Six the Bisbee Auto Com pany on Main Streer has been a small auto show in itself on account of the many people who have desired to make an inspection Of this latest de- Velopment by the Studebaker Corpor- atiOn. I. J. Bowen. of the BiSbee Auto Company told yesterday of the OriginatiOn of the car.
 Three years ago the Suudebaker Corporation set out to design and perfect a Super-fine. small, siA-cylin- der car. The eager desire on the part of the motoring public for the vibra- tiOnless power plant of the six in Q car that was light enough and to give the maximum economy and yet luxur- iOus was unmistakable.
 The first car built was driven across the continent eighteen months ago and was tested on the mountain and valley roads of California Eight months later a hundred cars were built. partly by hand. and sent to va rious parts of the country for a final checking up.
 ''The precaution taken and the eX- Dense incurred in making sure that the new car lived up to the reputation nf the Studebaker engineers, can be easily understood in the light of the fact that $20.OOO. 900 was being invest od in plants end special machinery at South Bend. Ind. to produce this car when finally passed.
 "The first hundred cars wrote new chapter in motor car history. By reason of their performance alone without advertising or sales effort, a countrywide demand was created Of sufficient volume to absorb the fac tory production And now this fine small car is ready for inspection. It Is a fitting mate for the Studebaker Special Six" and Big Six which have made this Studebaker year.

LARGEST INCREASE IN MOTOR CAR UTILITY IS SHOWN LAST
 YEAR; U. S. NOW HAS 5000, 600

Statics recently compiled of auto mobile use in the United States dur ing 1920 tell story of more than ordinary interest in respect to the value and utility of the motor car in this country. Figures just compiled by the American Automobile Associa- tion indicate that there were 9.1SO,316 passenger and commercial motor ve- hicles registered in the United States during 1920. of which S.234.4 .490 were for passenger use and 945.S26 were commercially employed. During the same period 271, ,230 motorcycles were also registered. The total receipts from registrations amounted 10 S99.- 141,097.
 In two States. California and New York. the figures cover only the first eleven months Of the registration year ending Feb. 2S, 1921 The total reg istrations for the year will doubtless exceed 9,300,000 cars and receipts will probably reach S1O0.O0O. 900.
 It thus appears that there is now one motor vehicle for about every eleven persons ana InaI receipts from registrations and licenses amount to more than one-fifth of the total annual expenditure for all roads and bridges in the United States. The gain in registrations over 1919 amounts to 2,114,S70 which is the greatest increase ever recorded in a single year. This expansion is con sidered remarkabye in view of the ad- verse business conditions during the latter part of the year.
 Receipts from registrations and IT, censes showed a gain of $34 .443. SAP or 53 per cent, over 1919, the greatest increase ever recorded in a single year. The registrations include in a few cases. notably in Maryland and the District of Columbia, duplicate registrations. but these do not mater ially affect the grand total.
 New York, which for many years has led all the other states in the number or automobiles owned within it's boundaries. maintains its motor supremacy with total of 6S3. .919 ve- hicles. of which 559,521 were passen- ger cars and 124.393 commercial ve- hicIes. In motor truck use New York is also in the lead. Ohio and Penn sylyania were strong competitors fO,

second place. Ohio leading with 570.- 164. Ohio with S2.6OO trucks is also second in the commercial list. nlin- ois takes fourth place with 569, 600 cars. very close to Pennsylvania. but in the use of commercial cars both Illinois and Massachusetts exceed Pennsylvania. Illinois having 64.674. Massachusetts 51.3S6 while Pennsyl- vania's number is 4S.329.
 California is the fifth state in mo- tor use with a total of 56S.S92 cars, Iowa sixth 437.O3O; Texas seventh 427,6S3; Michigan eighth 412.717. As California figures are for eleven months the chances are that the to- tai for the year will equal or exceed that for Illinois and possibly of Penn sylvania.
 In receipts from registrations New York state leads with $S.SI7.7O9. Pennsylvania comes second with s. O9O.S73; Iowa third s7.4S7.S30; Ohio fourth S6.4O0O0O; Illinois fifth S5.- 7S0.612; California sixth $5.554 ,265 {: Michigan seventh S5,494,4S6.
 
 piled through different agencies show minor variations The list recently compiled. for instance. by AutomOtive Industries gave total for all automo- piles of S.SS7572 while the B. F. Good rich COmpany's figures gave s.295, ,252
 The difficulty of obtaining accur- ate registration figures" says Auto motive Industries, has been com mented upon in previous years. Not only does every state law differ from that of every other state, but many states make wholly inadequate provi- sion for administering effectively the laws that they have. The only final remedy for the confusion which now exists, of course. is uniform national registration law
 These minor discrepancies are not of material importance, and no one will be accused Of a serious error in placing the automobile use through out the United States at fully 5000, 900 cars or 1920.
 The following table, as compiled by the American Automotive Association, shows the passenger and commercial cars used in each state, with the res pective receipts from registration and operators license fees:

THE STRENGTH OF A NATION
LIES IN ITS HOMES

Let's all work together this year
to make the homes of Shiawassee
county the most convenient, the most
healthful, and the most pleasant of
any to be found in the state of Mich
igan.
Let's make the kitchen a more con-
venient place in which mother can
work. With little planning we may
find it will be possible to have the
water piped into the house without a
great expense. 1t has been estimated
that many farm women lift over one
ton of water each day.
Perhaps we. can have gasoline
engine to run a power washing ma
chine, the churn and some of the
other equipment in the home. II
might not even cost as much as our
yearly doctor bills which may have
come as a result of overwork, es-
pecially from the heavy lifting.
Let's add at least one labor-saving
device to our home this year. Should
it be nothing more or less than a
good sharp knife, it might help to
save the temper, and what adds more
to a contented home than a pleasant
disposition!
