AUTOS FOR MILLIONS
The moat impressive phase of
the receut development of the
automobile inudatry iu America is
the rapid widening of the use of
motor vehicles by people of mod
erate means. It is conversion of
what was once a virtual monopoly
of the rich into a convenience and
source of enjoyment for millions.
The evidence that this change is
goiujj on is overwhelming. The
caiap and moderate-priced automo
biles are the dominant feature of
the new ventures in the motor car
industry. They are very conspic
uous in the big shows of the sea
soj. They swarm on. the streets
and roads. The growth of certain
companies which make low-priced
motor vehicles is noted all over
L-ie country. t
Other proof of tho rapid widen
ing of the base upon which the au
tomobile industry stands is found
in the statistics of the motor ve
nicles registered in various states.
The number, relatively to the popu
lation, by no means follows the
scale of wealth. Motor cars and
millionaires do not Increase and
dimiuish in corresponding jatios.
New York, the richest of th»
states, the special home of men ol
great wealth, has 168,067 automo
biles. according to the latest rec
ords, and about 10,000,000 inhab
itants. It had 9,113,000 in 1910
and had gained about 1,850,000 In
tea years. Kansas, a state with
few rich residents and no cities
noted for their wealthy people, a
commonwealth of fanners and vil
lagers, in the main, has 50,107 li
censed automobiles and only about
3.150,000 inhabitants. In propor
tion to the population automobiles
are 60 per cent more numerous in
Kansas than they are in New York.
Massachusetts is another very
rich state. It is emphatically a
state of cities, of inherited fortunes,
of a large leisure class. Its peo
ple include an extremely high per
centage of the rich and the well
to-do. Iowa is like Kansas Iff be
ing distinctively agrcultural. It is
a state of comparatively few cities
and its millionaires aro rare. But
Iowa, with 2,224,000 inhabitants,
at the time of the latest federal
census, has 106,250 automobiles
licensed, while Maseachuetts, with
a population of 3,366,416 in 1910,
has licensed only 77,246 motor ve
hicles, In proportion to the num
ber of inhabitants the comparative
ly new and plain-living, rural state
lias twice as many automobiles as
rich and urban Massachusetts.
Pennsylvania is more urban anl
less rural than Ohio and more
populous by about 2,000,000, or 40
per cent. Philadelphia and Pitts
burg are noted for their very rich
men, and Pennsylvania, as a whole
is distinguished by many very large
fortunes. They have sprung from
coal and iron, oil and timber, and
fr<m the state's great strength in
manufactures gained at a time
when Ohio was comparatively un
developed. If the automobile were
a luxury of the Tich alone, Penn
sylvania would make a noteworthy
showing in motor cars. But Ohio
has registered more than 122,000
automobiles against 112,000 in the
state which has by 40 per cen<t the
larger population.
o. umar tumparisuns ujigut uc
multiplied at great length. It is
not necessary to go farther into the
astonishing automobile statistics
of the country to prove that motor
vehicles have become common in
fanning districts and have grown
to be an everyday convenience
for hundreds of thousands of men
and women •who are by no means
rich. There is nothing of the "toy
for the wealthy" that the motor
car was called, in its early days,
by some of its hostile critics. It
is fast becoming the pleasure and
the working vehicle of the millions
and more so in America than in
any other country in the world.—

"When a soldier has such a keen re
