AUTO USE TR|PLED
IN 9-YEAR PERIOD
MOTOR CARS COVERED I,SO0. OOO, 900
MILES IN 1921; 1890 TOTAL is
5,200. 0O0, o00-INCREASING EVERY
YEAR.

Motor travel in Minnesota increased
from 1900, 900 900 vehicle miles in 1921
to $500, 000, 900 miles in 1890, accord
ing to estimates made by the Mime
sofa Highway department The estim-
ate is based upon the reports of the
Secretary of State as to automobile
registration, the reports Of the OH In
spector as to gasoline developments,
and the assumption that the average
car travels Is miles to the gallon
Better roads and improved carburetors
have greatly increased the number of
miles per gallon in the nine year
period, says a Highway bulletin, but
this has been Offset by the use of
heavier cars and a larger proportion
of miles per gallon is used for the two
years.
The number of class "A" passenger
cars, those paying the minimum tax
and weighing less than 1000 pounds,
was 142,072 in 1921 and 1872 ,67s in 1890
The number Of heavier passenger cars,
including buses, increased from 161,-
658 to 432,270. Taking the two classes
together, the number of passenger
cars was slightly more than doubled in
nine years. Trucks increased from
24,894 TO 108,063 in the same period,
the 1880 figure being nearly four and
a half times as great as the 1921
registration. Trailers increased from
$50 in 1921 to 1889 in 1890, but the
increase is partly due TO the change in
the law defining which trailers must
be registered. Motorcycles decreased
from 3,168 to 1870
Total gasoline in-shipments were
401 AS, IT'S gallons in 1890, but after
deducting shrinkage and the gaso-
line on which tax refunds were allowed,
the net amount taxed for motor We
hicle use was 345 81, 800 gallons, or
the average of 464 gallons per car
Gasoline in-shipments in 1921 were
139, 137, 900 gallons, but assuming that
the same proportion were used for
other purposes, the amount used for
motor vehicles was 1885,, 482 gallons,
or $50 per car. At Is miles per GAL
Ion, the average motor vehicle travelled
$685. miles IN 1921 and $3.50 in 1890.
More cars of all kinds, more heavy
cars, all going farther and faster, ex-
plain why, IN spite Of the road i'm
provements made in the last ten years,
there are greater demands for road
improvements now than decade ago

The report Of the Commercial Club

man interested in the welfare OF Ely
should be a member of this organiza-
ton. Some have made the statement
''let the City Council do these things

as the nations playground. However,
il is a well known fact that the laws
Of the state prevents the municipal
authorities from the performance OF
just such things as are necessary for
the welfare OF a community like ours.

During the past year $500 auto
mobile deaths occurred, a four per
cent increase over the 1929 record of
3l.215 lives. Reports from 80 states
and the District Of Columbia, repre-
senting rs per cent of the population,
form the basis of the National Safety
Councils estimate, which has just
been announced. This four per cent
increase occurred in spite of the fact
that there was less than one per cent
increase in motor vehicle registrations
during the past year.
In connection with the above ap-
palling total of human lives sacrificed
it is brought out that ten states having
strong drivers license laws showed an
average decrease Of Is per cent in the
automobile morality rate. Il was also
figured that had the entire country
done as well as these ten license states,
100 lives would have been saved last
year. The 2,5o0 deaths IS the highest
in history and is attributed to the
reckless driver problem which is be-
coming more acute every year.
To offset this murderous total, Mn
nesota is figuring on a drivers license
law. So far no adequate method has
been devised for administering such
a law. However, il has been suggested
that license fee Of Is cents be ex-

To End aCoueh
In a Hurry, Mix
This at Home

To end stubborn cough quickly, it
is important to soothe and heal the in
hamed membranes, get rid of the germs
and also to aid the system inwardly to-
help throw off the trouble.
For these purposes, here is home
made medicine, far better than anything
you could buy at times the cost. From
any druggist, get 21a ounces of Pinex.
Pour this into pint bottle, and add
plain graduated sugar syrup or strained
honey to fill up the pint. This takes
but a moment, and makes a remedy SO
effective that you will never do with
out, once you have used it. Keeps per-
fectly, and children like it.
This simple remedy does three neces-
sary things. First, it loosens the germ
laden phlegm. Second, it soothes away
the Inflammation. Third, it is absorbed
into the blood, where it acts directly
on the bronchial tubes. This explains
why it brings such quick relief, even
IN the obstinate bronchial coughs
which follow cold epidemics.
Pinex is highly concentrated com
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of cteosote, III
a refined, palatable form, and known
as one of the greatest healing agents
for severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
Or money refunded.

Letter of Law Is More
Than Worn Phrase
to One Man.

"The letter of the law" is more
than a worn phrase for this chap.
It's painstaking job with bills
and motions from $50 Indiana law
makers, legislative "red tape" four
kinds OF type and an unrelenting
clock while the general assembly is
in session.
For Walter L. Reed, with pencil
and bills, is the legislative repre-
sentative of William B. Burford
Printing Company, state printers,
40 South Meridian street, where
typesetting machines click and hum
all night long so that bills received
for printing one day may be laid on
the solons' desks the next morning.
Keeping pace with amendments,
motions and other legislative steps,
the printed bills each morning must
embrace these intricate changes. To
do this four kinds of type are en-
ployed-the familiar Roman; italic
and Cancelled type (the latter with
horizontal line through each let
teri to show amendments; and for
new matter in senate bills, bold
faced type.
The most meticulous prootreading
is required for there are no pardons
for typographical errors in the
printed bills, and the change of one
word-from may" to ~"shau,' for
instance-n1ight change the whole
meaning of measure.
Heading the receiving staff" in
the print shop is Ed Donnell, vet
eran of many a session, in that post.
