league stars have come from eth
er the Sunny South OF the Pacific
Coast.
Incidentally a great many OF the
big stars in the baseball call some
small town home, rather than the big
cities.
How so? Does the South and the
Pacific coast offer more possibilities
for the development of ball players?
Is there more chance for the small
town youngster than the big city
kid?
During the recent meeting of the
American League in this city the
question was put to Frank Chance,
who halls from California, and Ty
Cobb, who is the outstanding figure
in baseball from the south.
Both seemed to haYe the same
viewpoint. It was tnis:
The more you play baseball the
better you progress. The climate in
the south and on the coast makes it
possible for the youngster Of those
two sections to play the national pas
time two or three months longer than
is possible in other parts Of the coun-
try.
Both agreed that in the small

USE OF AUTOMOBILE
SHOWS TREMENDOUS
GAINS SINCE 1910
Registration Increases
Twenty-fcld Within
Thirteen Years.

The use of automobiles shows
tremendous gains. In 1910 there were
Tut 451 900 motor vehicles registered
in the United States, while on July
/, 1922, there were 10,60S,1 27. At
present there are approximately H.
100000 motor vehicles registered in
America.
Figures of production during the
last year show that 2,527, 900 cars and
trucks were built, as against the
previous record of 2,205,000 in 1920.
The total wholesale value of last
years production, not including parts,
was S1,55S, SCI, 900.
1t is predicted that at least 1,S00,-
600 of the II, 100000 cars and trucks
will have to be replaced during 1923,
and from these figures it can be seen
that there is every reason TO feel sat
isfied with the automobile prospects
of the next twelve months.
Closed and open cars are exhibited.
There is growing sentiment in favor
of the closed models. A question
naire sent out by the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce shows
that 60 per cent of motorists prefer
closed cars.
Woman's influence evidently plays
a large part in the trend toward
closed cars. The general character
of the reasons for buying this style
OF car is of more importance to the
women Of the family than the men.
Forty-four per cent of the closed
car Guestionnaires gave protection
from weather as one Of the factors.

Washington, ID. C.. Feb. 24.-While
it is doubtful if there can be any &C
ton at this session of Congress on
the bill introduced by Senator Smith
Brookhart to tax stock dividends, the
Iowa senator declares that it is his
intention to reintrCduce this measure
at the first session of the 6Sth Con-
gress and press it for early considera-
ton.
Under this bill section go Of the
revenue act of 1921 is amended so
that paragraph G will read:
"In addition to the LIKES herein
above provided there shall be levied,
collected and paid for each Of the tax
able years 1917 to 1922, inclusive,
and for each year thereafter on that
portion of the net income for any such
gear of every corporation, not distrib-
uted in the form of cash dividends, a
tax upon the amour: of such net in
come for such year in excess of the
credits provided in section 23G, and a
further deduction of $4,000 for such
year at the following rates"
The rates then applied are those
called for in the surtaxes on incomes.
ranging from 10 per cent on amounts
above the deductabie credit and less
than $4,000 up to 80 per cent on all
in excess of 100000. There is an
other section which reads:
Provided. that if any of such I'M
distributed profits are taxed as above
provided and the corporation shall

CUT FARM BARRIERS
Mail Man With Motor Car Doing
Great Work for Farmer.

Macon, Mo-, Feb. "A fact often
overlooked is the great work the rural
mail carrier, in his motor car, is doing
to cut the winter barriers of isolation
on the farm.
In ordinary weather the Missouri
and Kansas farmers have their daily
newspapers bsfOre 10 o'clock in the
morning. 1t is easier in bad weather
to drop an order in the mail box for
articles than it is to go to town after
them. as the parcels post carries about
everything n person wants.
There are two carriers who have
been on the run out of Macon nine
teen years, and one who is just com
plotting his twentieth year. When
these men started the Missouri mule
was the most reliable motive power,
AMI the motor car was regarded as
risky experiment for mail service. The
first motor car that left Macon with
mail was hauled in by pair of mules.
and that gave the motor car as a mail
vehicle n setback of several years.
The carriers now have horses and

snow is deep or the water overlooking

The demand of the farmer for his
daily mail service has been the back
bone of the good roads movement in
Missouri, as was foreseen by the postal
authorities when rural delivery was
established. The service has become
an absolute necessity.

keted for a few days ahead. He needs

cult clerk. who mails it out to him:

the rural route man carries the books
out. giving the remote country school
district the advantage of library
with 10000 volumes, almost the same
as thou it were right at the door.

"Hooch" Gas May
,Solue Motor Fuel
Problem of France

Paris, Feb. GA majority Of
the members OF the French parlia-
ment have approved a bill making
it compulsory to mix 10 per cent
alcohol with all gasoline sold in
France and it is likely that the
"hooch measure" as it is termed
by Americans, will become a law.
The measure was urged for econ
omy. The total gasoline used in
France last year was $50 million
American gallons. 1t is expected
the consumption will be increased
to 200 million gallons for 1923,
but that by using the alcohol mix
ture the amount of fuel bought
abroad would not increase.
French experts believe the alco-
ol-gasoline mixture is the only
available solution to the gasoline
shortage problem. A so per cent
mixture of benzol-alcohol is being
used by the Paris omnibus, but
because practically all benzol sup
plies come from Germany this mix
tvre cannot be obtained by the gen.
eral public.

use. This must be true, because the
owner does not plan on more than
one overhaul a year. 1t should be
just as good to have this overhaul
done in September, October or No
vember. The motor car in either the
North or South can be expected to
have harder use in the winter sea-
son. The car prepared for this eea.
son should also, with considerable
handling, be found to be in condition
for use throughout spring and sum
mer.
Motor car owners giving thought to
the foregoing points and governing
their automobile use accordingly can
do much to aid the high-class auto
mobile man in providing better facili-
ties, more car satisfaction and main
tenance at lesser cost. Car owners
can readily find the shops that are
systematized and prepared to handle
quickly md economically work in all
seasons of the year. On behalf Of
the motoring public, the National Au.
tomcbile Dealers Association urges
upon motor car owners having work
done on the car rs it is needed.
