Although New York state led the en-
tire country last year in the total num-
ber of motor vehicles registered. Ohio
ti ok first place in the number of pas-
seuger cars. Final figures for the
year showed that Ohio had 538,090
passenger cars as compared with New-
York's 519.J7J. New York leaped in
the lead with its larger number of
trucks, having 1.52,324 while Ohio on-
ly had RCVXi
Tokio. Japan, now has its "jinrici-
mobilfe"—a "vehicle built on the same
pattern as the rickshaw, but with a
small auto engine attached. It's prob-
ably the smallest auto in use anywhere
in the world. The -vehicle negotiates
the narrow, congested streets of Tokio
with case and i - rapidly becoming pop-
ular.
Antiquated methods of road improve-
ment are still in use in some parts of
the South. It is not an uncommon
sight in some of the "back-woods" re-
gions to see roads being scraped by a
couple teams of oxen and a drag. High-
ways improved by sticli methods don't
stay improved long. Soon they become
the same quagmires they were before.
Motorcycle manufacturers are plan-
ning for another big year in 1921. Their
production schedules call for the man-
ufacture of 55,000 new machines. Al-
though this number is 15,000 less than
last year it indicates that the manu-
facturers are optimistic regarding the
outlook. Moreover, they are planning
to increase the schedules when nor-
malcy returns.

The "nearly worn-out" tire is a con-
stant source of expense to every motor-

any "hold-up" man. Tire experts say-

thiv » it away and buy a new one than

Heart of the
Wood-;.
Auto thieves are havitiK troufiles of
their own these days. The Dyer law,
which makes it a federal offense to
take a stolen machine from one state
to another, is bothering them terribly,
As a result of its enforcement, 159 auto
thcives are now languishing in federal
penitentiaries. In truth—'tis a cruel,
cruel world. -
Pity the poor motorist! Whenever
state legislators find a few idle moments
they start thinking up new ways of
making life miserable for him. Last
year, eleven state legislatures consider-
ed approximately 1,000 bills directly af-
fecting the motor vehicle. Wouldn't
it have been awful if all had passed:

was Mrs. (inonte, with her wrinkled
face and her skinuy body.' I
"'Vet I like her belter than Mrs.
Gnome.' said the boy. Don t you?' I
" 'Yes, somehow I do,' said the girl.
'She has sueh a nice voice and Mrs.
Gnome lias sueh a shrill one. She
has such a lovely voice at tunes 1 al-
most think she must be beautiful, and
then I look at her anil 1 ttnd she is
about :is ugly as ever. At first she

she did look so different, 'what good

"'Oh, won't jriiii star! off with ti* f

the boy.
"'Sorry.' said Mrs. Wood Klf. "I'd ;
do a great deal to oblige you, but that I

" 'Why not?' asked the girl
" 'Because every one has to firsi find :
