Simpson, deceased, have between them read or heard of the inaugurations of 52 Presidents and lived during the ups and downs of their political careers. Mr. Simpson, who says that this is his last session of the Legislature. had lived under 16 Presidents. He has been a Representative since 1931. He Lauds Cleveland White-haired and stately, the Rockport lawyer names Grover Cleveland as the best President during his lifetime. Rep. Simpson was born Feb. 1, 1860. The record of these two generations started Oct. 9, 1796. with the birth of Mr. Simpson’s father near Portland, N. H.

"According to preliminary registration figures, there are now about a million more automobiles in use throughout the United States than there were at this time last year, representing sizable additions to the stream of annual travel. "Every indication points to further improvement of the 1935 travel year, which saw the record total r.f some 37,000,000 motorists taking to the highways, spending an aggregate of about $4,000,000,000 on their journeyings.”
