The registration of passenger automobiles in Illinois this year will reach 1.125.000, Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson estimated today. The estimate is based upon the increase in registration up to this time as compared *lth the same period last year. If this total is reached it will ex- «sed last year's total of 981,859 by 148,- lil. Up to October 1, 1,082.148 pas sgpger car licenses had been issued, a considerable increase over the total for the entire year 1924. Truck licenses on the same date totaled 157,131 as compared with 140,706 Issued In 1924, > and dealers licenses were 4,523 as compared with 4,225 last yesr. The fees of the automobile department available for paying off state highway bonds and highway maintenance are much larger this year. Over $12,000,000. During 1924 the automobile department of Secretary Emmerson's office collected fees totaling $11,546,206. Dp to October 1, this year $12,774,981 had been collected by "the department, or an increase of $1,228,775 over the entire year 1924. 1'There seems to be no such thing as a Saturation point," Mr. Emmerson said. "Automobiles continue to multiply. ' The number of one million license plates on the highways has attracted wide attention. Apparently, It Is only S matter of time until we shall be well up into the second million. •'Illinois ranks fifth among the states In the total number of cars registered, being exceeded only by New York, California, Ohio and Pennsylvania. "The number of all motor vehicles registered in the United States In 1924 was 17,591.981, an increase of approximately 2,500,000, or 17 per cent over the previous year. There is one mo^ tor car for every seven persons in the United States. One for Every 6.S Persons. "Illinois is slightly under this total with one car for every 6.8 persons. Twenty-one states have a higher ratio in this respect than Illinois. In California there is one motor car for every 3.38 persons, in Ibwa one for every 4.29 persons, in Oregon one for every 4.64 persons, in Nevada one for every 4.76 persons, in Nebraska one for every 4.80 persons, in Kansas one for every 4.85 persons. In South Dakota one for every 4.99 persons, in Colorado one for every 5.02 persons, Jn Michigan one for every 5.07 persons, in Indiana one for every 5.30 persons. In Minnesota one for every 5.37 persons, in Wyoming one for every 5.4S persons, in District of Columbia one for every 5.97 persons, In Ohio one for every 5.69 persons, in Wisconsin one for every 5.77 persons, in North Dakota one fer every 9.97 persona, In Washington one for every 6.04 persons in Vermont one for every 6.80 persons, in Florida one for every 6.46 perons, and in Texas one for every 6.68 persons. Expects Continued Inersaae. "It Is evident, therefore, that we srs far from the saturation point In Illinois at least. If we had as many cars per capita as California our present registration would bq practically double, amounting to over two mllllM automobiles. "In planning for the future therefore, and In making laws, we must prepare fcyra still greater increase of automobiles than- we now have. As congestion on the highway increases, safety provisions on the part of the lawmakers and law enforcers must Increase and drivers themselves must be more efficient."

Every Motorist Should Have Handy Hydrometer Experienced motorists who really take care of their cars find that unless their storage batteries are tested regularly, battery repairs and replacements soon become an expensive habit which could easily have been avoided. Every motorist should have s hydrometer and should test his battery every week according to the directions which accompany this instrument When the battery tests appreciably below .1250, It is an Indication that It needs charging. The engine should then be run with the gears In neutral till the hydrometer shows a reading of more than .1250. If the test shows the battery to hp below .1200, it is too far discharged* to be remedied by this treatment and should be taken at once to a service station. MOTOR CARS FOR MOVING PACF.
