EXIT EQUINE.
By J. Il. YEoMANs.

If you were, among those present the day the first
motordrven vehicle shufled out of its assembly room
you must have heard the village prophets foreteLing
the doom OF Dobbin and painting word pictures OF
strange and wonderful changes to come through the
replacement of the faithful hay consuming servant with
mechanical means ga ttet. ..@
True the horse had his hackers but the aforesaid
prophets talked stuff and in the majority OF cases
over the heads of the and their argu
ments made Impressions which are at this day and
age, justified by hard and fast facts
According to figures Chicago has lost half OF Its
equine population during the past SIX years Motor
zaon OF city transportation has pushed the horse from
his urban jobs and the chances that when the old
faithfuls quit town life they didn't draw many country
billes where the rustcs know the smell of gas When
the city folks through with horses and the farmers
trucking by day and fvyering by night what is to
become of beast of burden that isn't bred to bet on
and hasnt reached the !" only one living stage.
The thoroughbred that can finish in the money now
and then is assured of board and lodging but his own
brother may be on thin ice and vagrant along with
the humans who wagered their hard Learned on his
alleged ability to lead in scrambles to the wire.
The hunter that can show form over timber has
meal tickets among the sporting gentry but his popu-
arity is on the wane and money that once went for
his oats is going for gas for motoring that allows no
time inclination to run fox ragged.
Polo keeps few ponies from the poor house. but the
game tough legs and the best OF mounts pass into
the discards in the early days of their playing.
Cavalry gives existence to a material number of the
middle class of the horse family and the living is fair
with regular rations but it that this is limited
with new styles of fighting being perfected.
Percentage is dead against the friends of premotor
days-they are hanging in spots, but taken all in
all they loosing ground and will pass as foretold
by the prophets the day the eunger shimled down
Main Street for the first time.
Motor vehicles have the horse the run, and he
is hetding down the lane to Extinct Valley from whence
no beast good bad Indifferent sent word.

cent, while the general increase In
the number Of automobiles through
out the country was about twenty
per cent during the same period.
The decrease in the number Of thefts,
therefore, il materially greater than
would be indicated by the percentages.
A considerable part Of this decrease
is attributed by the N. A. d. A. to
the lettering effect Of the National
Motor Vehicle Theft Law (the Dyer
Law which was put through Con-
gress at the instance Of the N. A. d.
A. and by more stringent laws in the
States for the punishment Of motor
car thieves.
Police Work Commended.
However, a good part of the better
showing Is due also to vigorous &C.
tivity of the peace authorities, such
as in Buffalo. where Chief Of Police

lice chief in the United States" is

30, O46 Autos Stolen
In 1920 in 28 Cities
In the United States

Thirty thousand and forty-six auto
mobiles were stolen in 1890 In twenty
eight Index" cities OF the country and
'21,273 of them recovered, according
to the annual compilation of the Ma
tjonal Automobile Dealers Associa-
ton. The number stolen was 3.012
less than the number stolen In 1919,
but was 2,601 more than the number
btolen In 1918. In 1918 cars unre-
covered were 81 per cent OF the num-
Der stolen; In 1919 they were rs per
cent and 1920, 20 per cent.
Chicago took the lead from New
York with the number stolen, al
though higher percentage Of cars
remained uncovered in New York.
New York had SIZE stolen; Chicago,
5,527. New York recovered only
2,717 of her stolen cars while Chicago
recovered 4,340. Dayton, Ohio, had the
unusual record of having recovered
more cars than she had stolen.
The Pacific coast cities kept up
their yearly good work Of recovery.
There were 4,S77 cars stolen in Los

the automobile thieves, and in st.
Louis where the office of the circuit
attorney, cooperating with the police
department has virtually put the
automobile thieves in the State peni-
Tertiary. Most of them convicted in
st. Louis received long terms and It
Is expected that thefts in st. Louis
will show steady decrease from
now on.
The subject Of theft is being
watched vigorously by the N. A. d.
A. because of the theft insurance
rates now having become so high as
to prove a big factor in the resist
ance to sales Of automobiles. 1t is
realized that until thefts are mate

made in the matter Of Insurance re-

sian, militarism could have driven
all the eastern part of the world
into a dreadful struggle.
Because when you get to know a
man and you do know him bett
when you are riding in a car along
the highroad than you ever can from
a railway train-when you get to

the general run of human beings IN
one land and much like the general
run of human beings in another.
And I mean 1t when I say I be-
lieve that the spread of the use
OF automobiles is going to do as
much to teach one nation that an.
other nation is made up Of decent
chaps and to cure them of their old
rivalries and feuds and bitternesses
as any other agency on Gods green

From an Address Before the Annual
Dinner Of the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce.)
The minds Of all mankind today
are concerned with the ambition and
the hope of working out some
feasible scheme of doing away with
warfare among the races Of the
world, and with all modesty I want
to offer a formula which at least
10 beginning toward that end and

every people of every land better
roads and more automobiles and we
will do away, with much of the ill-wl;l
that exists between human beings on
this planet today.
Back in 81 had there been broad.
smooth highways that ran from the
Cults to the Lakes and IL the man
who lived In South Carolina could
step in his lizzie and turn on the
gas and cruise away to Vermont and
find out that the people there were
OF his own blood and had much the
same aspirations and the same de.
sire for decent and peaceful and
orderly government. this country
would never have been rent by a
great civil war.
And I viii go further than thar.
From my own knowledge at the
front and behind the lines Of how
the civilian populace-yes, and the
soldiers of warning Europe-felt, 7
am constrained to believe, that had
II been possible prior to 1914 for all
the peoples of Continental Europe
