INDIA'S HOME RULE

Often half a loaf is better than no bread at all Some natives of India may take this view of the proffered home rule" for India. What the Brit ish government offers is not home rule. It is no as much home rule as Canada has, nor Australia nor South Africa But it is more than India has had since she has been a part of the British empire, and there is promise of a fully responsible government" at some future time.
 For the present the franchise is re- Stricted to the minority. and the lower castes vii have no voice in their gov ernment. no more than when matters were shaped at London. This. very likely, will do little to check the feel ing of unrest among the many millions. but it will. so the British government seems to think. halt the tide of dis content among the higher castes. the educated, property owning natives.
 By giving this half loaf of home rule to India, Great Britain probably has pushed forward by a decade or two the coming Indian revolution. In other words. the British government merely has postponed the independence of India.

Driving at top speed for fifty hours on December II, 12 and 13. an Essex motor car established the first official test ever made for that period of time. In this wonderful endurance run a stock Essex chassis under A. A. A of ficial obserN a tion averaged 50 and 7-1O miles hour for d distance equivalent to that from Los Angeles to New York City.
 The complete proof of Essex endur- ance is even greater than that ex- pressed by the brief telegram which last week came to Cal Messner, Phoe- nix distributor for Essex motor cars. That telegram specified the one at tempt in which the fifty hour run was accomplished. It did not say that twice before the main event the sturdy Essex had started the run but discontinued because of terrific rain and snow storms which occurred at Cincinnati early in the month.
 Even in those preliminary trials, the Essex made phenominal nileages, which would have generally been pro- claimed as achievements far beyond the ordinary. The first attempt re- suited in 1190 miles in 2S hours, at which time a downpour of rain and sleet forced d stop. As soon as that storm was over a. second start was made but a blizzard of snow again ended the trial after the car had GOV cred 1042 miles in 16 hours and 45 minutes. The third run started the following day and was accomplished without the weather intervening, and for the full fifty hour period the Essex swept around the speedway. three thou sand and thirtyei miles. at an average of sixty and seven-tenths miles per hour
 Is Official A. A. A. Record
 The total for the three attempts was 5.S70 miles in 94 hours and 20 minutes driving time. all under official ob servation of the American Automobile association.
 The average owner of an automobile rarely drives over g miles an hour. He rarely maintains a higher speed for more than an hour or two. Imagine that owner driving nearly 5000 miles a the rate of 62 miles an hour and it will give some impression of the tre-

THIS BATTERY REMAINS GREEN
 UNTIL ON LAR

Prest- O-Lite Green Seal batteries which are kept green" until the day they are placed in the users car, strikes a new and very responsive note of favorable opinion from the modern but justly critical motorist. This is the opinion of T. H. Cummins, local distributor for the Prest-O-Lite in Phoenix.
 When the automobile was first placed on the market the public came. saw and conquered. The same story has been repeated with practically every improvement and betterment to comfort. conYeniece and economy of automobile driving and operation but never before in the history of industry has one particular feature been so completely revolutionized. as has the battery business. through the intro- duction of the green seaf' Prest-O- Lite.
 The secret of success in the green seal feature lies in the fact that un- der this process of manufacture the battery as made and shipped at the Prest-O-Lite factory is only a "shell' of a battery. so-to-speak. 4 battery. in the strict sense of the word, does not become g battery until if has re- ceived the acid. chemicals and distilled water and the initial charge of cleo tricity that makes it the greater reser- voir of light and power that is hidden in the bowels of the car.
 Now it is well known fact tha. acids and chemicals have a deteriorat- ing effect upon the metal plates of the battery. For years manufacturers have puzzled over the problem of battery preservation prior to the time that the battery was placed in the car, charged and put into use. Batteries made un- der the old fashioned process were filled with acids, and water the day

WHITE |S NEW
 OAKLAND AGENT
 ON SOU I THS|DE

A. A White. a well known young business man of the city, and espec- tally prominent in automobile circles, has taken the southside agency for the Oakland Sensible Six, organizing what is to be known as the Valley Motor company. Mr. White and his co-work- CTS will handle the Oakland car in Mesa. Tempe. Chandler Gilbert and other southside territory.
 MT. White entered the automopiie business here as a member of McAr- thur Brothers. e later served with Babbtt Brothers. and since July l of last year has been manager of the used car department for W. F. Gard ner X Go.
 White is highly optimistic over be- ing the fortunate bidder to represent the Oakland Sensible Six in the south side territory. He has already taken commodious quarters at 150 West Main street, Mesa, and plans to estab- fish branches at Chandler and Tempe later.
 My highest ambition is to make the Oakland as popular in the Mesa, terri tory as it is in the Phoenix and Glen dale community. and by rendering ser vice such as is afforded Oakland pur- chasers in Phoenix ana Glendale, be- lieve that my venture will prove every way successful" said MT. White.
 'I believe that the Oakland Sensible Six has no real competitor in the light car field. and I feel like it offers more real value than any other car of it's class on the market"
 The Oakland is now represented in practically every nook and corner Of Arizona by regularly authorized agents.

GARMENT WORKERS

More than 5000 organized garment workers of Cleveland, O., and 90 fac tory owners got together recently and buried the hatchet.
 An agreement following the plan suggested for a court of industry was signed by union members and repre- sentatives of employers. \ board Of referees" will hear and determine flu ture wage scales. Workers have agreed to eliminate strikes: the employers binding themselves to bar Iockouts. Factory owners are to provide sanitary workshops; employees bind themselves to give fair days work for fair pay" And the board of referees is to set from time to time the fair pay standard.
 Meyer Perlstein, head of the Garment Workers Union, sounded the keynote of the agreement in his speech to union members:
 "The employers have promised
 decent living wages and good
 working conditions It is up to the
 workers to give good service in return. You must all cooperate
 so that the union can make this agreement profitable to the em- ployer as we'll as to you.''
 There is a lot of good common sense in that advice. For it is impossible to conceive of a lasting agreement which did not include fair returns of profits to both worker and employer.

they left the factory. If they lay on a dealers shelf from six to nine months before being placed in the users car they were just that much worn out when put into use. This is the cause for quick deterioration of so many in- ferior batteries that have not stood up under trying conditions on the market
 The master brains of Prest Lite engineers went to work on the subject. War time emergencies called for greater concentration. Batteries had to be shipped over seas and tonnage was at a premium. Batteries had to be made lighter. Prest-O-Lite engin- eers in solving that problem involved the green seal principal and thereby revolutionized the storage battery business of the world.
