There are Washington, D. C. enough motor vehicles for everyone in the United States to take a ride at the same time, according to registration figures compiled by the United States bureau of public roads. Registrations during 1936 reached e an high of 23,221,291, of which 24,197,605 were passenger vehicles and 4,023,606 trucks and tractor trucks. These figures have been increasing at approximately 150,000 a month this year. The bureau said registration in 1936 increased nearly 2,000,000 over 1935 and surpassed the former high of 1930 by 1,700,000 vehicles. Total registrations are expected to reach the 30,000,000 mark some time next year. Some idea of the number of automobiles and trucks can be gained by assuming that a highway wide enough to accommodate all could be built from New York to Los Angeles. It would take a highway with an automobile for each twenty feet. Every Btate showed an increase in registration over the previous year. Registrations in sixteen states increased more than 10 per cent over 1935 figures. The average increase for the entire United States was 7.6 per cent. Registration receipts amounted to Trucks and tractor $359,783,000. trucks composed less than 15 per cent of the registrations but accounted for nearly 24 per cent of the receipts. New York state led both In the number of vehicles, 2,459,592, and in receipts, $16,291,000.

Circuit Judge W. R. Hunter is getting along in years (hes in his eightieth) and sometimes he has difficulty in hearing lawyers, especially when they neglect to direct their remarks directly toward the bench. The Judge was particularly inconvenienced when, during a trial, the lawyers leaned on the railing in front of the jury box while questioning witnesses in the stand, which is directly beside the jury box. The judge was having trouble hearing the lawyers, but his resourceful mind produced a solution. On the opening day of court there hung a sign, Fresh Paint, in front of the jury box. The lawyers respected it and kept their forms off the railing. This went on for days and days tc the satisfaction of the judge. Finally, when the last case was heard, he chuckled as he revealed the hoax to a friend. Blanqjio Lemons.
