22342. 457 Motor Cars in u. S. Is Gain
OF 11.2 Per Gent Over Total for 1925
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. December 23.-Mo-
tor vehicles in use in the United
States now exceed 22,0Oo,o00. or one
to every five persons, it, is shown
by annual registration figures to-
day in the magazine Motor.
Passenger and commercial cars
total 22.342,457, a gain over 1925 Of
2,254,000, or 11.2 per cent. While the
gain is 81 per cent less than the
gain of 1925 over 1924, this is due
to the fact that an unprecedentedly
large number of vehicles were taken
out of service, the magazine says.
Sales in the United States in the
past IL months were the largest on
record, but the percentage of regis
tration increase was the smallest
ever recorded, the figures showed.
This was to be expected, the maya
zine declares, since the increasing
total in service correspondingly de-
creases the rate of gain.
Commercial vehicles now number
2,876,781, gain over the preceding
year of 421,688, or III per cent.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-12-23

Passenger automobiles number 49,
ass ,676, an increase of 1881 1888, or
1913 per cent over the previous year.
New York state retains its lead
ership with 1.S1S,765, a gain of 1881
900. 1t now has about half as many
motor vehicles as all the rest of the
world. aside from the United States.
California is still New York's
closest rival with 1,614,479. Ohio is
third with 1,507,5 Pennsylvania
fourth with 1,4S3,O54, Illinois fifth
with 100000, Michigan sixth with
1,124,S69, and Texas seventh with
1,063,600. Michigan and Texas are
newcomers in the million class.
Nevada registered the lowest num-
Der of cars with 23,93S. Delaware
was next lowest with 44,355, while
Wyoming was third from bottom
with $4,000
The registration by States shows
that prosperity was more widely diff
fused in 1926 than. in any recent
year. There were few outstanding
percentage increases. Automotive
business, apparently, was about
uually good everywhere.

KING TO ASK PROBE
OF ALIEN PROPERTY
Senator Plans to Test Senti-
ment Toward Inquiry Into
Management.

The ACCESSIBILITY of proceeding with
an investigation of the management
Of alien property during the past
eight years, which was debated briefly
in the Senate yesterday, is almost GER
tain to come up again after the Christ
mas recess. While several Senators
were exchanging views as to what
would be accomplished by an inquiry
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah
served notice that he would test the
sentiment of the Senate after the
holidays by proposing a resolution to
appropriate the sum needed to make
the investigation.
Senator Borah, chairman of the
foreign relations committee. told the
Senate there was ample justification
for an investigation, but that he did
not feel like devoting his time to it
unless sufficient funds are provided
TO go thoroughly into alien property
administration and unless the Senate
backs the inquiry to the limit. He
said he saw nothing to be gained by
merely investigating and filing a re-
port.
Senator Johnson of California re-
Piled that If an investigation does
nothing more than ''let the sunlight
in" on the charges it would be worth
while
Shortly after this debate took place
President Coolidge sent to the Senate
the report of the inquiry made by
Controlled General McCarl into alien
property affairs.

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY
MAY AID MARS CRUX
Question of Atmosphere May Be
Resolved Through Experiments
With Camera.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 23.-Whether
or not Mars has an atmosphere, with
it's important bearing on the POSSIBLE
ity of life on the planet, long a scien-
tific question, may be settled by ex-
periments with color photography,
Prof. +. T.. Ross of the University of
Chicago, a member of the staff at
Yerkes Observatory at Williams Bay,
Wis, believes. He gave this opinion
in an article written for the Astro-
physical Journal, released last night.
Pictures taken at the Mount Will
son, Lick and Yerkes Observatories
by the use of colored light" said Prof.
Ross have proven that certain lights,
notably the long infra-reds, penetrate
the atmosphere surrounding the
planet and produce a much better pic
ture than when ordinary light Is
used"
The photographs. in the opinion Of
many astronomers, prove their theory
that Mars has a light and rare atmos-
phere, which, with it's fluctuating tenn
peratures, would make life, as we
know it, impossible on the planet.
Mars is at present in particularly
favorable position for the observation.
and astronomers of the world hope to
increase greatly. their knowledge of
the planet, Prof. Ross said.

Tribute Seems Rough
on Wedding Finery

Rice and confetti, for use after we'd
ding ceremonies, both have their OPP
ponents, but they seem preferable to
the coal dust which, we are told, was
thrown at st. Pancras recently after
the wedding of coal HEAVIER and his
bride.
But the idea Of this occupational
tribute is not quite new some years
ago confectloner and his bride were
pelted with the little sweets which
are known as hundreds and thou
sands" The idea might be endlessly
extended-tea leaves for the grocer,
sawdust for the joiner, chopped suet
for the butcher, buns for the baker,
buttons for the draper, orange peel
for the greengrocer, and pills for the
doctor and chemist. In the case OF
writing people and journalists, pre-
sumably all their friends would turn
up and empty their fountain pens at
the bride and bridegroom. That
sounds curious complimentary,

Stuffed OtUls Used
as Decov for CroUs

There is one way In which wild
crow may be shaken out of his accus-
toned wary composure or may be re-
duced even to state Of hysteria. says
Henry c. Cary in Bird Lore.
Procure stuffed owl, preferably
one of the largest species, like the
great horned or the barred, and place
It out In the open In the country.
The crows will gather more quickly
than do the vultures when they see
carrlon and they will follow each
other, as the vultures are said to do,
so that the whole crow population for
miles around will soon be pouring out
the Walls of Its wrath on the poor
stuffed head with its yellow glass
eyes.
The crows have an instructive fear
of the owl tribe, and hence they unite
in an attempt to drive the stuffed owl
which they suppose to be alive, away
from their own nelghborhood.
This method of decoying crows
seems to work best In the nesting
season. It's efficacy may be due to the
owls preying upon old and young
crows in and near the nest at night.
Certainly the habit Of nesting and
roostlng very near the topmost
branches of tall trees would seem to
make the crow, more than most birds,
an easy victim of both hawks and
owls.

Scholars Make Study
of Picture DRAWINGS

Learning to write Is such simple
matter today when children pick up
the alphabet In nursery rhymes that
1t is difficult, according to the Mentor
Magazine, for the modern mind to
imagine q language without letters.
And yet, incredible as II may seem,
some Of the most glorious pages OF his
tory were written In such language,
pages" being mud-ple tablets, sun
drled-the written words being made
up Of symbols obtained by simplify
ing the picture drawings that early
man first used to make record OF
his ideas.
1t Is now estimated that nearly hnlf
a million OF these mud records Of an
Client civilization have been found, and
several expeditions Of American, Brit
lsh, French and German scientists are
digging In the ruined cities of Mesop0-
tamla for more. In addition hand
full of scholars Is constantly at work
on the long and palnstaking task OF
translatlOn-made difficult In spite Of
their knowledge by the entire absence
Of letters or even the beginnings Of
an alphabet.
From these tablets It Is possible to
show how man learned TO write how
ever, and many Of the steps from pic
lures to symbols and from word signs
to the letters Of fixed alphabet are
now subject to Illustration. Scientists
have for years been interested in trac-
ing the alphabet back to Its origin
Within the last few years they have
added 800 years to It's age, and some
day they may be able to show exactly
where II started.
