New York and Ohio in Neck-and- Neck Race for Leadership, Tabulations Show There is one motor vehicle for every 15 persons in the United States. This calculation is based on the latest authentic automobile and truck registration figures which h just been compiled by the B. Goodrich Rubber Co. The total num- ber of passemger cars and trucks |i ed’ is 6,786,550. This represents a 13 per cent gain over the 6,023,605 registry of January’ 1, 1919. In other words the latest tabulations show that 762,945 more cars are now in use than there was the first of this year. A neck waged between New York and Ohio for. leadership in state registration—- the Goodrich figures showing New York with a registration of 502,785 while Ohio trails closely behind with 480,000 cars and trucks. Neverthe- less Ohio is forging ahead. in motor ownership af a faster clip than in New York state and may step into first place before the first of the year. Next in the “big six’? group, named in the order of their rank, are Pennsylvania, Hlinois, California and Towa, During the period since the first of the year fifteen states have made! percentages of increase greater thai the national increase of 13 per cent. Those states are Ohio, California, Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina,. Kentucky, South Carolina, Alabama, West Virginia, Louisiana, Idaho,. Utah, Wyoming and. Delaware. It will be noted that nine of these are southern states and their pe acntage of increase as a whole is} 22. Tennessee, West Virginia and Kentucky lead the south as well as the entire nation, and in the order nanied. Unprecedented cotton and tobacco prosperity has placed this section of the country well to the fore. , Since 1917 the census of au- ~tomobiles in- tie stilitharn” state’ has increased better than 100 per cent. Iowa still maintains her position as the leading state in per capita ownership with a car for every 64 Nebraska is “runner up” with. one car for 7.01 person: tailend position goes to Mi with one car to 47.89 persons. ippi QNEFOREVERY 15 PEOPLE IN), , THO: mo TEC: couRSES oPENEO To nezRUT and neck race is being) ASHP NOW | ‘WEALTHY CHINESE TAKES FORD ALONG FOR CLIMB TO THE PROMISED LAND There was a pretty custom among some of the ancients when a promi {nent citizen died, to send his valet along with him on the road ‘to Para- jdise, and it was oftentimes necessa- ry to resort to extreme methods to |insure this company for the depart- ed.
