1O,524,395 CARS
IN j. 8. LAST YEAR

Statistics compiled by the B. F.
Goodrich Rubber Co. give a total Of
10,524,395 cars and trucks registered
in the United States during 1921.
This is an increase of 1,229,023, or
10 per cent over 1920.
New York leads the field with S16,
010 cars and trucks. an increase OF
1886, the largest in any state over
the previous year.
Ohio is second with 726,700, gain
Of 1OS,700 over 1920. Pennsylvania
is third with 6S9,,589 and Illinois
next with 670,434.
The largest percentage gain was
made by West Virginia where an in
crease of 3S.1 per cent is recorded
over 1920.
Nevada is at the bottom with. TO-
500 cars. Delaware is a step above
with 21,413. The registration in these
states is not so bad as the figures
would indicate, for either one has
more cars than the entire Chinese
empire.
There was one motor vehicle for
every ten people in the country in
1921, as compared with one for lis
in 1920.
The world registration today is
approximately 12,500,OO0.
At the outset of 1921 various
authorities agreed that at least $780,
900 automobiles would be scrapped
during the year. National Auto.
mobile Chamber of Commerce and
other production figures for the year
compared with the increase in reg
istration show this total to be well
under the 100000 mark.
Cars are delivering exceptional
service. Instead of being discarded
at the end of the estimated five.yearr
period, they are delivering at least
six years service. The total pro
duction Of cars and trucks in 1921
was 1875, $3.50. Registrations increas-
ed 1,229,O23. 1t is reasonable to be-
lieye t at the difference between
these two figures, or 346,663, repre-
sents the number of cars that were
junked last year.

Plan to Sell Florida
Phosphate to France
Charged to Lindsay

NEW YORK, March 5.-Alfred
E. Lindsay, under seven indictments
for Fleeing society women of large
sums of money, was accused today
by his former associate, DR.. Knute
Arvid Enlind. of having planned to
sell the French government three
and half million tons of phosphates
from mines pictured in the Florida
Everglades.
DR.. Enlind, indicted yesterday for
grand larceny, was quoted by Assist
ant District Attorney Murphy as
having said that Lindsay persuaded
him to get out of the army in 1919
in order to help carry out the plan.
Lindsay did not own the mines nor
the place where they were supposed
to be, DR.. Enlind was reported to
have said, but was confident of fl
nancing a scheme to acquire them.
Under this reported scheme, DR..
Enlind, who spoke French, was to
go to France to conduct negotiations
with the Paris. government.
DR.. Enlind said he had known
Lindsay since 1918, when the brok-
er was private detective and strike
breaker. He and Lindsay bitterly
assailed each other today, Enlind
claiming that he cashed certain
checks, only to take the money to
Lindsay, and the broker vowing
that he had practically supported
Enlind for years.

WILDCAT REIGN
OF TERROR ENDED

AUGUSTA, Ca, March "A
sanguinary battle between seven
teen-pound wildcat and five husky
dogs, staged just before daylight
Friday morning in the heart of the
Savannah river swamp, ten miles
below Augusta, ended in victory for
the dogs, and the farmers of that
section can once more sleep soundly
at night without fear of their hog.
pens or chicken yards being made
scenes Of massacres.
For six months or more the big
cat has terrorized the live stock and
poultry on farms in the valley, and
night after night small bands of
hunters, with trained Digs, have
secured the swamps for him. Often
they have struck his trail, and the
dogs have given the cat many a
fine race, but not until Thursday
night were the hunters successful.
A. B. Rogers, of the Rogers Mill
ing company, Of Augusta, accom-
panied by James Virgins, farmer,
his two sons and a negro, pene-
trated the sWampS with the wildcat
the object of their search. Just after
midnight the dogs-an Airedale and
four big hounds-struck the trail
just below the mound near Thomp.
sons farm, and for seven miles the
big cat led the pack through the
densest section of the great swamp.
Not until 4 o'clock, some three hours
after the dogs hit the trail, did they
-, IN, n
canebrake. During that period the
swamp resounded with medley of
yaps and hoarse bow vows. Mr..
Rogers describes it as the "prettiest
chase I ever witnessed" and he has
hunted the Savannah river swamps
for years.
The cat put up but little fight at
the first, seeing he was badly out
numbered and that the dogs were
game, although he has been known
in the past to send as many as three
dogs scurrying away, and he took to
tree. When the hunters arrived
and sighted him the dogs were max
ing frantic efforts to reach the cats
perch. A lucky shot from Mr.. Rog-
ers' gun brought the big cat to the
ground, and, although wounded, he
fought desperately against the over
Whelming odds. Several minutes
elapsed before the hunters could
tear the cat away from the dogs
and it was then seen that the CANNES
had torn him almost into shreds.
The cat was carried to a nearby
farm and placed on pair of cotton
scales. He weighed seventeen
pounds. This same cat, according
to Mr.. Rogers, has preyed upon
chickens just a mile or so below the
east boundar 1t is believed that he
is the same marauder that some
time ago played havoc with the
poultry yard If James T. Gardiner,
a farmer, whose place is just a few
les below Augusta.
1t is estimated that the big cat
has killed a score or more Of fine
shoats belonging to farmers living
below Augusta, not to mention the
chickens he has carried off. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Rogers, the strength
and witness of the cat enabled him
to overcome a hog weighing twenty
five or thirty pounds.
