Edison made the fir st incandescent light twenty years before the automobile came in tc;> use ; now, there are 100,000,000 and more incandescent bulbs in the motor cars of the United States and Canada, a tributt· to the inventor that no other single in dustry can equal. While the motorist is virtually de pendent on the electric bulb, it gets little credit because the car Ov\·ncr takl.s it as a matter of course. Na less than ten light bulbs arc in every GrahamPaige built car. and the larger model~ have e'teven. There are two hcad-ligl1t bulbs. two side-light: , two lights in the instrument board, anothe r to flood light the coincidental lock and front compartment, one dome light, one tail tight and one stop-light. Counting ten lights per car, that means that th~.· Graham-Paige compan~· alone, in the first nine months of the Edison semicentennial year, has used 710,000 hu\h..; . For the entire automobile .. industrY. total production last year \\'as 4.601,000 cars; counting ten bulhs per car, as · in the Graham - Paige. thi s mean s -h\010,000 bulbs per annum as original equipment'. At the end of last \'ear, there \\'er e 25,550,000 automobiles registered in the United States and Canada. The aver- . age number of bulbs per car would hardh· be less than five (two heart lights, one instrument board, one . tail. · one . top') , and the average likely " ·mild be~ higher, for side-lights are alnw~t universal. But even \\'ith onlv finlights. that means 127,750.000 ckrtric light bulbs in use.

MILLER & MILLER 732 Twelfth St. George Miller Phone Wil. 50 Leo Miller A feat apprortchin~ that of proff's· siona1 endurance drin' rs was accomplished by a 19 -~·ear-nld college youth. who. returning to Han·anl from ('alifornia. drove his :\farm on 7R road 'iter from Berke\e,·, Calif.. tn Roston in 7° hours of acttial running time. ).f akin~ but three stops for food and one for rest during the trip. the young man spent onlv $97 in making the 3.600 mile journey in total elapsed time of 128 hours. This sum included food, tire repairs, gasoline and oil and all other in..: cidentals, and discloses the remarkable average cost of onlv 2.6 cents per mile.
