FOREIGN TRADE STATISTICS

An important revision and extern
sion OF the monthly, quarterly and an
nual forcign-tradc statistics published
by the bureau of foreign and domes-
tic commerce, department OF com
merce. is announced to take effect in
the near future, probably on the first
of January. More than fifteen hun
dred news items will be added to the
export classification and the number
of import items shown will be materi-
ally increased.
The work of revising and extending
the classifCations has been carried
out under the direction of G.. y. RoOr-
back of the Shipping Board, well
known for his work at the Wharton
school. who has been detailed to do
the work for the department Of com
merce. and who has had the assist
ancc of numerous experts connected
with the treasury department, the
shipping board, the war trade board,
the war industries board. and the CO.
operation of the tariff commission,
the bureau of the census of the de
partment of commerce. and other gov
eminent organizations. 1t is one OF
the steps being taken to enlarge the
practical usefulness of the department
of commerce to the business com
munity.
The plans now nearly completed
provide for an enlarged classification
for both imports and exports, instead
of the two classifications at present
used. and instead of the present alpha
bctical arrangement Of items by com
modties there will be more general
assembling of items under great
groups. As early as last spring the
bureau of foreign and domestic com
merce publicly invited suggestions
from business men. Adaptability to
mechanical tabulation has been kept
in mind in making the changes.

Accuracy Better Than Speed.

People who go in for speed records
are not as wise as they think they are
for speed without accuracy is of no
avail. True, time is at n premium in
every line these days and we should
not under any circumstances waste a
minute unnecessarily. But if we aren't
sure about any phase of our work we
must take sufficient time to go into 1t
and not rely on chance to help us
where We can possibly help ourselves.

BIG APPERSONS
CUT FUEL COSTS
Owners Boast of Thirteen to
Fifteen Miles Per Gal
lon of Gasoline

Motor circles of the city have
been stirred up the last week over
the growing frequency of reports
regarding Apperson gasoline econ
omy.
Among the larger cars the APP
person has stol alone in this re-
spect. Gasoline mileage OF from
thirteen to fifteen miles per gallon
is matter OF record in so many in
stances that it has come to be an
accepted fact. Owners say Apper-
son cars are producing this mileage
consistently.
AS the Apperson is 130inch
wheelbase car. these performances
in the hands of private owners have
occasioned wide comment.
Edward L. Cowden, when ques-
toned to-day regarding these rec
ords and the cause of them, said:
Think we Apperson represent
atives may not have told the public
enough about the way the Apper-
son boards gasoline. The car is
actually miserly about gas.
or course, we've had so many
reports of from thirteen to fifteen
miles per gallon, month after
month that we've gotten used to the
idea. But find the more 1 invest
igate that other cars of the same
size are not making anything like
the same records.
You ask me how the Apperson
does it? I don't know all the rea-
sons, but I'm sure of them. One is
the marvellous development of the
motor. The other is the light
weight When you remember that
the Apperson brothers, Elmer and
Edgar, built the first successful
gas car in this country, you can see
why 1t is that they're still leading
on motor construction.
Nearly twenty-five years ago,
while scarcely more than boys the
two brothers were deep in the mys-
teries of gasoline motor construc-
ton. They built a successful auto
mobile even at that early day. They
are essentially car builders at the
present time. They are among the
few manufacturers who make prac-
tically the entire car in their own
plant.
No wonder they turn out motors
that deliver power on the minimum
of gas.
The second reason is the light
weight of the car. The motor has
far less weight to move on the level
ana to lift over the hills than other
cars of the same wheelbase.
In fact the Appersou is, as far as
I know, the lightest car of 130-inch
wheelbase in the country.
This may sound like a simple
explanation but it represents years
of hard work by two seasoned auto
mobile engineers who started ahead
of the industry and have never
given up the lead.
The point that interests me is
that even the owner who can read
ily' afford all the expenses of a big
car takes more pride in 1t, II it's
economical. It's not merely the
saving involved, but the fact that
the cars efficient.
We're expecting a bigger year
than ever on Appersons, and we be-
lieve the long mileage on every gal
Ion of gasoline is going to be one of
the best selling points"

The Light Twelve" is offered in de
luxe editions of the "Fourdore" and
the seven-passenger touring car.
The new models express added ex-
terror beauties, charming interior re-
hnements and further chassis perfec-
Hons. The Haynes Light six" mo-
tor, introduced more than three years
ago. is continued almost without
change; likewise the Light Twelve
has undergone only minor changes.
There is the same Haynes distinc-
tiveness of body design, but the lines
are straighter. and the hood is broad
and high-arched in conformity with
the most modern trend in motorcar
fashion. The weather-tight wind
shield is tilted. and the front fend-
ers curve to wheel form. The bodies
are OF the double-cowl type.
All the new open models are
equipped with Blackmore door cur
tain openers. These do away with
the bother of unfastening clasps.
There are no tapping curtains to
creep peneatn-they SWING open with
the doors, and close tightly. Careful
attention to detail. executed MASTER
fully, has made possible the harmoni-
Gus beauty of the interior. High
grade leather upholstery is used in
