THE NEW YEAR is A sCORcHER
Solid Blocks of Below Zero Weather
So Far

The glorious leap year, 1920, was
born in refrigerator, it would seem.
The New Year was ushered in Thurs
day with twelve degrees low in the
thermometer tube, and, mind you, it
has to this writing, scarcely been
above zero for an hour at a time,
standing atfive to eight below through
out the days and much colder nights.
We see no possible reason for this,
except that the first month Of this
new year is attempting to out-riyal
in severity the last month Of the de-
ceased year.

IN THE AGE OF pATERNALIsM
Real Estate Dealers to do Business
Must Secure Licenses


Under law passed by the last leg
islature, all real estate agents in Wis
consin will do business nnder favor of
a state license, after the first of the
year. The license will be issued by
new real estate commission, created
by law, upon the payment of fee,
and agents will then be required to do
business under regulation of the COM
mission. Should anybody conclude to
do real estate business without Ii
cense, there is a suitable penalty to be
invoked to make it unpleasant as well
as Improbable. The number of IL
censed vocation continues to increase
as time passes, and probably others
will be added in the future. A gem
GRAFTON ago, only doctors, lawyers,
preachers and teachers were required
to be licensed. But the list is long
one now, and it includes almost every
thing except editors, backsmiths and
house-movers. Nobody knows which
or who will be the next called upon to
carry his license tags on front and
rear with red lights on all four sides
The world do move, and what couldn't
be yesterday simply has TO be tomor-
row. Truly growing more and faster
anage of paternalism-w where the state
or the federal government directs our
every move, where a series of salar-
led commissions make every move on
the checkerboard for us.

MORE ELCARS IN
 CITY FOR VISIT

Five Elcars arrived in Phoenix this week and as usual were the center of interest. It seems that every time an Elcar sticks it's good looking nose into the confines of the city of Phoenix it attracts d lot of attention. All that is necessary to gather crowd is to put one the floor of the Roamer Motor Sales company. and there it is.
 More Elcars are on the way here, and still more are to come. Since talk ing the state distributorship the Roamer Motor Sales company has sold or contracted for 64 Elcars. This has all been within the space of a few weeks. and it is considered a rema rk- able record by automobile men. who have been watching the advent of the machine here
 F.. F.. Rowe. head of the Roamer Motor Sales company, will leave for the east within a short time to make an effort to increase his allotment for both Roamers and Elcars.
 The Central Arizona Motor company Of Mesa. has taken the agency for the Flcar on the southside. J. P. Mosseau, who is manager Of that company, is positive that he has one of the best car bargains on the market, and ex- poets the Elcar will be one of the most popular makes introduced here.

MESSNERF FINDS
 PHOENIX WELL
 KNOWN IN EAST

Phoenix is the best advertised city in the west" said Cal Messner, upon his return here this week from a trip 10 Chicago and other eastern points. Ncssner. in addition to finding that his nome town was well kH0wl wher- ever he landed. brought b acis . whcle flock of ideas. facts, figures and rheo- ries on the merchandising of automo- biles
 AIessner doesn't know why Ptoenix is so we'll known. but he founo that it surely and certainly is. It may he, in hls opinion. that the city has sent out some good advertising. but he Is rather inclined to believe that il is because everyone who leaves here is an ardent booster for the place. and that they never miss an opportunity to spread the propaganda Of Phoenix and it's wonderful climate.
 Factories Sold Out
 All the eastern factories are sold out and there is no relief in slight. There are a few factories which have a small number or cars to ship. but the short age Of rolling stock is holding them up. So acute has this shortage become that many dealers are on the ground watt ing ar the factory for their aiiot ments, and when they roll out the door. Lhev lake command. drive them to Chicago. store them and await a time until they can get them shipped out. They do this because 1t is muci easier to get shipments cut or Chicago than out Of Detroit or other auto centers Then. too. they are shipping autos and trucks to all parts Of the country on flat ears and the good old gondolas, better known as coal cars.
 The fact that eastern dealers are buying cars and storing them has made it hard for western dealers to get cars Heretofore, the men of the west have been able to get plenty of machines in the winter due to the Siackening u7 of the eastern midwin- ter market. Not so this year. The eastern dealers are not taking any chances. They are getting the cars while they can. storing them and wait ing for the weather 10 break. Chicago and other eastern cities are full of stored automobiles
 One result of Messner's trip was to

secure six carloads of c. NJ. C. trucks, which left there a few days after he landed in the east. They have not arrived in Phoenix as yet, but they will be here shortly.
 It was also Messner's privilege to attend the Chicago automobile show, which is perhaps the largest and most elaborate ever held in this country. A number of new cars were introduced. and practically every one of the stand ard makes put out new models. Among the new cars which attracted consid- erable attention were the Lafayette. the Fl. C. S., the Revere, the Shaw, the Daniels and the Leach The new Packard light model was a the show and attracted considera ble comment, but above them all in Messner's opin- ion. was the Hudson and the Essex. They were both there and they were the center of interest from opening to closing time. The recent feat of . stock Essex lowering all worlds rec ords for 50 hours Of continuous driv- ing had been heralded ahead of it's ap- pearance at the show, and made it of unusual interest.

 To Become Touring Center of West

orce there is a decent road for them 10 travel frorn the coast here, you will see the California people flocking in here ty the hundreds. The addition of the new hotel which I understand is proj- ected will be an added attraction. As a matter of fact the California people are just waiting for d chance to go some where"
 Tn speaking of the remarkable devel- oIsment of the tire Industry in the past few years MT. Rounsavelle dwelt par ticularly upon the great increase in mileage now being obtained from mod crn tires.
 "A few years ago. it was thought re- markahle when d casing ran six or seven thousand miles. Today if they do not go at least ten thousand miles over the worst roads there is something wrong. In fact we are building castings today which average better than 10000 miles and we intend 10 do better in the future
 The object of MT. RounsaveIles visit which is made in company with C. w. Mckinley. state representative for the Pacific Rubber company. is to look over the state with the view in mind of de- NelopinS this territory to greater eX- tent.

RACING IS CRUCIBLE
 OF AUTO PERFECTION

The speedway, the road race and the endurance run have been the crdcibles from which have come the perfected automobile of today, according 10 statement by Cal Messner. who has long been known as an earnest advo- cate of such tests.
 Driving a motor at top speed for five and six continuous hours in speed contest, or sending the car through endurance and reliability runs. put it to a greater test than five years of ordinary service and immediately show up any weakness which may exist" he said.
 When it was announced five years ago that by the use of an exclusive, patented principle, Hudson had in creased the power Of the motor by = per cent without any increase in size or the sacrifice of simplicity, skeptics expressed doubt as to whether the ear would stand up under such q strain.
 Tt was to prove the superior en- durance which also resulted from the use of this principle, that Hudson cars were entered in speedway events The Super Six was not designed as rac
  on the speedway to display mere brute speed. It was entered merely to prove how the patented principle used in the Super Six motor resulted in motor with greater endurance than anything heretofore known because the increase in power it yielded came from the minimizing of destructive vibration.
 Fitted against the fastest special racing machines ever built, many of them costing from s15,0o0 to s40,0oo. these. Super Sizes made record which has never been equalled. But it was triumph of endurance over speed, for more than sixty per cent of che racing machines against which Hud- son competed had more speed. What the Super Sizes accomplished, there fore, was due to superior staying pow CTS. They won out by being able to hold the terrific pace where other cars with less stamina literally were burned up. In nine championship races dur ing it's first year on the speedways, out of twenty two entries, every Hudson car except one finished within the money and a collision forced that one out of the race.
 Tt was at Chicago that a Hudson special established the American speed way record for 150 and 200 miles at an average of 104 miles an hour. This was faster than a car had ever travelled such a distance before. At Omaha Seatlie, MlnneapouS ana Iacoma, also, new track records were established. In some races, notably at Seattle. Super Sizes practically monopolized the lead ing positions. taking first, third and fourth. In six of the biggest races of that year, Hudsons captured three first positions, four seconds. two thirds, fourth, a fifth, seventh and a ninth Tn fact. the Super-Six spe- cials decisively wrested the American speedway championship from foreign made cars which up to that time dom- mated speed contests

Phoenix has the most wonderful op- E'ortunity know of to become the tour rist center of the southwest, if the peo- Fie of this section will push the good roads proposition to q conclusion said L. S- Rounsavelle. secretary and treas urer of the Pacific Rubber company in speaking of the damage the lack of good roads are doing 10 this state.
 The Pacific Rubber company is one Of the largest rubber concerns or the coast and manufactures the Horseshoe Tire which has caused such sensat ton here.
 It is-Mr. Rounsavelle's opinion that as soon as d coast highway is built. hundreds of tourists will pour in here from California They have motored to every place of interest on the coast and those people who have had cars for several years are anxious to explore Few fields. This is the only virgin field fcft for them in his opinion. and only the completion of a highway remains to EI ifg them here.
