FAMILIES KEEP Shrinkage in Licenses Less ' Than Was Expected. New York.? That the automobile In dustry has a firm basis for recovery is indicated in a report issued by James Daltop, editor of Motor. The experi ence of 1932 shows that there is still in operation one car for every six of our population. The figures show that the American people Regard their cars as an essential part of their lives and cling to them as long as possible. The record of 1032 car registrations re ported by Motor discloses that there are still 20,02ft, 001 passenger cars In operation in the United States. Count ing the 8,253.202 trucks that are in operation, the total is 24,182,383 ve hicles, This represents a decrease of 1,031,720 car registrations, or 0.1 per cent, from 1031, but Blnce 1032 marks the culmination of the business reces sion, the decline was less than might have been expected. The trucks regis tered In 1032 numbered 3,253,202, which Is 0.1 per cent under 1031. A drop of only 2,102,408 car licenses from the 1020 peak Is an unexpectedly small shrinkage and provides substan tial evidence at the Importance of In dividual transportation. The editor of Motor points out that the losses In passenger car registra tions since 1020 reflect with fair ac W.'H ' ' The time' a man '?*" la most charitable la when he fear# something* will he found out on him rtnfl he will need forgiveness. DAILYI IMPROVEMENT rp. '<? ; "' *?" 'i-V;. , By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK L?U Do*n of M?a, University of Illinois. Mr. Richard Lovell Edgeworth, the rather of Maria of fictional fame, ac cording to his hi ograpber, was a man of tremen dous energy. He was always tak Ing up something new, always inter ested In some in vention. He invent ed all sorts of things, and in a score of ways he did "almost pretty well." He had a theory that no mat ter how old or ad-, vanced ono be came one should Improve himself dolly. "You can Improve," Mr. Edgewortb used to tell his children, "every day of your life. With this power of Im provement you may In time be any thing; without It you can be nothing." It was a theory which he himself did not always carry out. but it Is cer tainly one worthy of the serious con sideration of everyone. Huntley Went out of business not long ago, bankrupt. And yet I can remember when he had the finest store In town, the biggest trade in the line of merchandise which he carried. He was looked upon as one of the most prosperous business men we had. But he never Improved. \Vblle other men were remodeling their business build ings or adding new fronts with more attractive plate glass windows, Hunt ley made no change In the general ap pearance of his store. Soon It began to look like a back number ? out of date, old-fashioned. He did not change hi* stock or his methods to meet new conditions. Some onfe came along and started a rival Institution, and soon Huntley's trade fell off, his en thusiasm waned, he hegnn to lose money and ultimately he was closed out, and all because he didn't give his mind to Improving every day. Burroughs, twenty years ago, was looked upon as a coming man In his department of teaching. His lectures were Illuminating, the book he was getting out was the expression of the latest thought In his field. His friends were sure that by the time he reached middle age he would be recognized as one of the great' men In his field of education. He gives about the same lectures today he did twenty years ago, and the things that were true then are not true today. ?. 19SS, Western Newspaper Union. Two Egg* In Onev Stockton. Calif. ?
