IRICHLAND COUNTY LEADS IN NUMBER OF AUTOS Fifty-six Out of Every 1,000 In State Possessed a Motor Vehicle'on April 1-80.5 Out of 1,000 for State. Out of every 1,000 People in South carolina 30.5 owned an automobile, motor truck or motorcycle 'on April 1, 1919. Despite the war, 22.7 per cent more motor vehicles were owned by South Carolinians on April 1, 1919, as compared with the same date in 1918. Statistics compiled by the State highway commission on the owner ship or automobiles, trucks and mo torcycles, takes from its records of licensed motor vehicles, show that on April 1, 1918, there were 41,193 motor vehicles in South 'Carolina, while by April 1, 1919, the number had increas ed to 50,504, of which exactly 50,000 were automobiles or trucks and the remaining 604 motorcycles. Richland county lead the State in the per capita number of motor veli cles. Out of every 1,000 people in Richland 56 owned an automobile, truck or motorcycle on April 1, 1919. Lexington county was second on the per capita basis with 47.7 motor vehi cles Per 1,000 of poPulation, Bamberg third with 46 per 1,000 of populat.ion and Orangeburg a close fourth Awith 45.3 per 1,000 of population. The automobile has long since Pass ed out of the luxury class and is rap Idly becoming to be regarded as a necessity. However, the number of motor vehicles per capita is consid pred by conservative observers as a good index still of any community's buying power and Prosperity. The statistics on licensed motor ve hicles com-piled by the State highway commission take no account of cars owned by the United States govern ment as these cars are not subject to State license. If government icars 'yere counted the number of motor vehicles in the counties containing camps would be greatly increased. On -April 1, 1919. there were 152 dealers in motor vehicles in South Carolina. 1s this connection, Rlichland county led the State with 34 dealers, Greenvillo came second with 31 and Orangeburg third with 29. The figures on the number of second hand cars sold are, of course, accu rate as shown by the records of tIe commission, but as there has been a great. deal of difficulty in enforcing the new law requiring owners to record with the commission the trans fer of cars it is very probable that a great many more than 252 second WHI hand cars .were sold 'between January 1 and April 1, 1919. 1jnfortunately, the State highway commission cannot give the number of trucks owned in the State separate ly from the number of automobiles without having an account of clerical work done which would be out of -prop'ortion to the value of the infer ination. It is 'a fact, however, that the number of automobile trucks own ed in the State Is multiplying rapidly. On account of the fact that, under an opinion finom the assistant attor ney general, the highway commission Is engaged in apportioning its share of the licensed motoit vehicles in HIamipton and 'Barnwell counties to the sew Allendale county, accurate figurcs on the per capita ownership of cars in these three counties cannot be giv en now. However, the per capita aver age for all three counties reaches the respectable figure of 40.3 per 1,000 of population.

Allo and~ the r thing If th Style terns Th (A Hats thj and set the qu a A1 (RTON Above all things one's millinery must be kept fresh looking and im Mlaculately clean. There are many millinery materials that are always In style, as velvet and velvet ribbons, well-made flowers, laces, ribbons, straw hats, crepe, and chiffons. They become soiled and nussed, but can be cleaned and freshened up by simple processes available at home. Now that spring is near, a becoming straw hat may only need repolishing, or to have the trimmings freshened up, to serve during the early spring and as a chanage throughout the seison. For colored straw hats there are dyes which are usually on stle in drug stores, ready to apply, whlch will re store the color of the straw or change it to another color. There are several reliable dyes that will ehinge colored hats into black ones. Most of these dyes give the hat a fine luster and it looks practically new, after dyeing. Often a faded hat canl be successfully restored to color by applying the col ors mixed with gasoline, as described in a former article. Some hiats can be scoured with soapsuds, as leghorn or l'anama straws. In this case the suds is used, but with a view to keeping the straw from getting very wet. To restore a natural straw color, a hat may be elened with lemion julee ainui sulphur. A white straw may be washed with oxille eId dilited with wtter. After a leghorn iat is lben cleaned it m1y he bleached by silsis(Iing it over a burning sulphur caidle. Burn the sulphu4tr in the botton of t barrel, suspending lte hat at tie top so that It will not scorch. A felt liht may be successfully scoured with the finest sandpaper. Armmonia will often re store color lit colored straw hats. Wring a cloth 'ut of hallf11 pint of htot water to which a telasPoo fIl I of am tonia lias been thilled mid cover the i hat with this cloth.
