HALF AUTO'S TODAY SOLD UPON CREDIT NEW YORK, April 9—Nearly half the people who buy cars today pay for them on the installment plan. This is the conclusion made by statisticians of the General Motors Acceptance corporation on the basis of returns from more than 1000 dealers in the United States. The report shows that these dealers sold 149,136 cars, of which 79,-407 were bought outright and 69,729 were sold "on time," making 46.7 per cent of the total number. The period of these sales covered perhaps the best selling period in automobile history, from August 1, 1919, to July 31, 1920. Farmers buy more cars on time than they do for cash, according to this report. City dwellers pay cash more frequently than the farmers, only 44.9 per cent of the cars sold to the former being thru credit arrangement. The average down payment on all-time-payment sales is 40.3 per cent of the cash price. The average time allowed on these payments is 9.3 months to city car owners and 11.1 months to farmers: Arthur Leighton of Niles is visiting his sister, Mrs. Emerson. Mrs. J. V. McConnell was called to Sait Lake last week by the serious illness of her father. Mrs. L. F. Dintz of Imperial Beach is visiting at the home of Mrs. K. S. Hendricks. Mrs. M. L.

AWARDED NINE WORLD'S MOTORCYCLE RECORDS The United States is officially placed in her rightful position as a leading world power in motorcycle competition as a result of a meeting of the Federation Internationale des clubs Motorcyclistes in Brussels, Belgium, Jan. 20, 1921. This federation has now officially recognized the solo and sidecar kilometer, mile and five mile records made by American machines and riders on the famous ocean beach at Daytona, Fla., during 1920. The eyes of the world are turned to the American motorcycle classics of the 1921 season, as it is expected that not a few international or world's records will be exceeded in this country which are now held by foreign riders. These expectations were already realized in part when Otto Walker, Feb. 22, 1921, on the Fresno board track, exceeded four of the international records now held by British riders, namely the one-mile, five-mile, 10-mile and 50-mile, solo in all of which he averaged over 100 miles an hour. Application has been made by the Motorcycle & Allied Trades association of America for official recognition of the above distances as "world's records."
