OVER MILLION CARS in U. S.
Statistics Show 1,127,94O Autos Lii
censed i'm 1913. New York i'm the
Lead Iowa Ranks Fifth.

Illuminating statistics upon the
tremendous growth Of the motor car
in the United States during the last
three years have just been compiled
by Mitchell May, secretary of New
York state, the figures having been
secured through direct communica-
ton with the licensing authorities in
the several states where registration
laws prevail.
The results show that the total
registration during the last year was
1,127,940, an increase of 605,O60 ov-
er 1911, when a similar table was
prepared.
During the same period exactly
4,072 foreign cars were imported
into this country. Consequently, with
this difference, these figures show
ing the total registration of automo-
biles prove that over 100000 cars
of American manufacture of all
sorts were registered during the last
year.
An estimate based upon the most
conservative and accurate figures OBJ
tainable from other states having To-
cal, city or country registration sys-
TENS indicates that there are at pres
ent in use in the United States near
Ily 1,097,94O registered automobiles,
deducting 10000 registered in dup
licate, but emitting approximately
$4,000 registered by dealers.
Great effort was made to obtain
sufficiently accurate figures showing
the wonderful growth in the use of
the commercial car, but the results
were a disappointment, as no separ-
ate registration scheme was found
except in comparatively few states,
although this growth may be predict
ed from the results shown in New
York and Massachusetts, where the
figures prove a gain of upward of
81 per cent and AZ per cent, respec-
lively.
New York still leads with a total
of $4,000 registrations, a gain of
800 Illinois is next with $4,000,
as against $4,000 in 1911, New Jer-
sey being no longer settled in second
place, largely because of her recip-
rocity Law, thereby dropping into
eight place, and leaving Ohio to re-
tain third place as in 1911 with a
total of $1,000 against $4,000.
Pennsylvania is still fourth in
number with 10000, over $4,000 in
I1911, while Iowa succeeds from
seventh to fifth place with 1900,
as against $1,000. Indiana jumps
forward from thirteenth to sixth
place. with $4,000 as opposed to
1900, the number registered two
years ago, and Massachusetts, follows
with $1,000 to $1,000 in 1911.
New Jersey now occupies eighth
place dropping from second with APP
proximately $1,000 cars, showing an
increase of only 1000 cars over 1911
when the number recorded was 49,
IOO0 These figures reveal loss of
approximately 10000 registrations
formerly assigned to non-residents,
who are now enjoying temporary
exemption courtesy.

Whatever will be the fad of the winter, and every season seems to have it's own, auction will be as popular as il has been in the past Word to this effect has been re- Ceived from society folk at the re- sorts who have not let the beach pleasures interfere with their love of the game. Those who have remain cd at home have enjoyed many a rubber in the mornings and have adopted all the new rules Phoe- nicians, in fact, pride themselves on the excellence of their game, few of them being in Dulcinea's class, refusing to play nullos. Dulcinea is well known and no doubt many will be interested in the latest news of Der in the form of special despatch from New York to The Republican It follows:
 T have just heard that Dulcinea plays bridge. She thinks auction is much better game than the old style, because no good hand ever goes to waste. But she refuses to play nullos just yet Still, she ad- mits that we'll all probably take up nullos eventually, just the way we did royal spades. Dulcinea doesn't play by the rules, but trusts chiefly to her card sense. All the rules in the world won't help you if you haven't card sense," she says. But she enjoys post mortems, because you always learn a lot by having your mistakes pointed out, and she never resents intelligent criticism.
 At times Dulcinea indulges in bits of humor. For instance, she often calls diamonds. "dimmonds' or dim inksg' and spades "spuds" or spa doodles." Instead of saying T pass - she knocks twice on the table. She

CLUB NOTES

Chicago, will be reviewed. In order that club women who were unable to attend the convention, might become familiar with it's programs and the resolutions it passed, The Republican from time to time has devoted much space to the subject in this depart ment. Today appears an interview with Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin, one of the past presidents of the organiza = ton, reproduced from an eastern ex !. change:
 As I have listened to the reports of the presidents of the state federa- tions and the work accomplished, what a power for good they are and are to be, my only regret is that the time at their disposal was all too short to realize completely the actual scope of their activities It is natural that my thoughts should hark back to the biennial of 1894 when l was elected at Philadelphia. The ex- perience of the six months of con- gresses which I directed under the leadership of Mrs Potter Palmer in connection with the Columbian expo sition, embraced every activity from the parliament of religions to man ual labor. Mrs. Palmer was generous and had mar velous executive ability and she was

One year ago the Osborin Parent Teacher Association opened a library for the benefit of the school chill dren The members of the circle have been active in it's growth and development, among those particular ly interested being Mrs. w. A. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson was the first president of the Osborn Parent Teacher As sociation and has been largely re- sponsible for it's success. She is a member of the Woman's club, the Madison Improvement club and has her name up for membership in the High School Parent Teacher asso- citation.
 OSBORN SCHOOL LIBRARY (By Mrs. w. A. Wilson, The Osborn school library was compiled with the definite idea of providing for the pleasure and in- struction of the school children. The Osborn Parent Teacher as sociation, affiliated with the Arizona Congress of Mothers, committee to choose the varied and inspiring volumes of poetry, adventures, his tory and the worlds best fiction that immediately found place on the shelves, and on Fridays of the school term were loaned by the librarian. The splendid effect of good reading was noted by the teachers who de- ! clared the students had increased
 their vocabulary, had better Sescrlp- | tive ability in story writing and
 keener knowledge of character. Books | of course were not read during school
 hours unless used as a reference in i geography, history or some other | branch of study.

 rary is especially beneficial. Chil- | dren have access to it once a month
 and gladly look forward to the day
 on which they are allowed to take
 home three or four books.
 This storehouse of knowledge and
 pleasure is only year old but its
 results have been so pleasing that we

Cotton Market

NEW YORK. Jau. 22-The cotton
market showed rather a reactionary
tendency during today's early trad
ing. Yesterdays advance had carried
most of the active months into new
high ground for the movement, and
the tendency to take profits before
the publication of tomorrow's gin
ming figures was doubtless encour-
aged by somewhat disappointing
cables. The increased English spot
business restricted offerings. how
ever, and after opening steady at a
decline of to points, the market
held within a point or two of the
opening figures Liverpool reported
spot sales of 1900 bales, of which
only 5000 bales were American.
After selling about to points net
lower later in the morning under con-
tinued realizing the market steadied
on covering, and ruled about to 6
points net lower around midday
Some buying may have been encour-
aged by reports from the Southwest
that there would be a scarcity of
good seed for planting purposes.
Trading was very quiet during the
early afternoon and the market ruled
steady, within four or five points of
yesterdays closing figures.

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Predictons
that Argentine shipments would be
meagre had bullish effect on wheat
today. Prices were reported higher
at both Buenos Ayres and Rosario.
In addition, values at Paris were up,
on account of crop damage resulting
from unusually cold weather. The
market here, which opened I'M

moderate advance all around.
Export sales brought about after

strength. There was uneasiness. too,
regarding a possible severe freeze

Prices were influenced chiefly by the

Assertions that Boston was bidding
here for export corn tended later to
hoist the market. The close was

cause of a big reduction in the esti-
