We do not claim for prohibition
all the credit for this wonderful
showing, but it certainly has been
an important factor. And these
tremendous forward strides have
completely disproved the preprob-
bition predictions of the vets that
prohibition would be followed by
business adversely
The growth of the AUTOMOBILES bust
ness has also been remarkable. In
1917, the people Of the State owned
1872, 195 cars of all kinds; now they
own 7S6,509, an Increase of 60&6S6,
or Of 314 per cent. There are about
25, 900 900 cars owned in the entire
world, and at least 20, 900, 900 of these
are owned in pI 'tion United

ago this had increased to $1,9S9s-
900, 903, am increase of $1,262, 80 e069

average salary Of S755S3, While, in

If it be said, howevef (, that the
compulsory education IA ~ is respons-
ible for the increased Attendance in
high schools, the same cannot be
said of the colleges, where attend
ance is optional. In nineteen of these
institutions in 1917. the total enrol
ment was 1867; ia 1925 the attend
