World International Trade in 1918.


 World international commerce in 1918 was nearly or quite s60, 900, 900, 900 in stated value against 10000, 900, 900 in 1913. and s20,o00, 900, 900 in 1900. Of ficial figures of the 1918 trade of twen- ty principal countries of the world are now available and upon these and the partial figures for other countries The National City Bank of New York es- inmates that the valuation of the en- tire international commerce of the world in the calendar year 1918 will, when official figures become available, approximate and perhaps fully equal S60, DOG, 100000 against s53.000, 900, 900 in 1917. $47.o0o.oo0.o00 in 1916, and $40, ,0oo, ,00o 900 in 1915. the year pre- ceding the war.
 The twenty countries for which 1918 figures are now available are the most important from the trade standpoint of world nations. They include in 1 Europe Great Britain, France. Italy, l Spain and Switzerland; in the Orient, India, the Malayan Peninsula. Siam, and Japan; in Africa. Egypt, and the Union of South Africa; ill South America. Argentina. Brazil. Chile and Venizuela; in North America, Canada 1 Cuba, Mexico, and the United States
 In few instances, the figures for 1913 are based upon estimates for the clos ing months of the year, but in prac- tically all the important case sthe fig ures are governm and cover the full year.
 | Nearly one-haf of this estimated i world total of s6o,0oo. .ooo 900, says the
 banks statement, was handled by the United States, Great Britain, France

this is also true of Turkey and Bel gium. In Netherlands and the Scan- dinavian countries. the 1918 interna- tional trade was apparently below normal, owing to war restrictions and the lack of transportation facilities. In India. Straits Settlements. Dutch East Indies, and the Philippines, the trade of 1918, especially as to exports. was large, though complete figures are not yet available. while in the case of Australia and New Zealand lack of shipping seriously affected the export movement of available grain and wool supplies, and similarly affected the figures of imports. In Argentina, Chile. Peru and Uruguay, exports show a marked increase in 1918. and imports a slight advance, while Bra zilian figures show little chance in to- tai values as compared with 1917, and are slightly less than those of the year preceding the war. Cuban fig ures show large gains owing to the demands for her sugar. and the in creasing requirements for new sugar producing areas.

WHY DARK COLoRED TIRES
 ARE NOW BEING MADE

That tires are now made in dark colors is due not to fad in style, but to important improvements in the compounds which make up the tire tread, is the statement of well known tire company.
 After a long period of experiments ton, this company developed a new formula for it's tread compounds, so much tougher and much better wear ing, hat it was adopted as the stand ard of manufacture, even though it called for a change from the light color to which the public has been accustomed.
 Before the dark tire was placed on the market it was thoroughly tested by the testing fleets of the company, These tests demonstrated that the dark compound product tires of great CT mileage than the lighter stock. The

 dark colored tires have been on the market long enough now to demon strate their superiority.
 Aside from the matter of the quail ty of the tire, the dark colored tire has decided advantage in that 1t is not so easily discolored as the light tire. To keep a light colored tire presentable required frequent dress ing, but the black tire needs no at tention of this sort.
 If the dark tire offered no supe- rior points, the light tire would prob- ably be in demand with buyers who regarded it with favor. but the un- questioned superiority in toughness and dura bility of the dark tread make the matter of color a negligible factor when considered in connection with the subject of the real merits of the tire. =~

U. S. SEAPLANE FIRST TO ACCOM-.
PLISH GREAT FEAT.
Lieutenant Commander Read in Nc-4
Makes Flight From Azores to
Portugal in 9:44.

Lisbon, May 29.-The Atlantic ocean
has been crossed for the first time in
history in an aerial passage the Amer
ican navy winning the honor.
The American naval seaplane NC-4
accomplished the feat by winging it's
way to Lisbon, Portugal, from the
Azores, whence it had flown from New
foundland.
The flight of approximately 7S6
miles was made by Lieut.. Com. Albert
@. Read and his crew of five in 9 hours
and A minutes.
They left Ponta Delgada, Azores, at
DIS a. H., central time, and reached
Lisbon at 3.01, central time.
The actual flying time of the NC-4
in crossing the Atlantic from st.
Johns, N. F., to Lisbon was 26 hours
and Al minutes.
The NC-4 was greeted by the cheers
of great crowds on the water front.
the shrieking of whistles and the ring
ing of bells. The plane covered the dis
tance at a speed of more than 80 miles
an hour.
As soon as the news was received
by Admiral Jackson at Ponta Delgada
he ordered all the war craft in the har-
Dor to blow their whistles and sirens.
The flyers were received here by the
president of Portugal and other off,
cials on board the U. S. S. Rochester.
The crew of the seaplane. the same
as that which made the memorable
flight from Newfoundland to the
Azores, boarded the plane an hour be-
fore sunrise, but it was not until sew
eral hours later that the giant machine
TAXED outside the breakwater, headed
to win6ward and rose gracefully in the
air.
She circled the harbor and then
headed for her destination amid
cheers from the sailors and soldiers
who lined the decks of the ships in the
harbor and the crowds on the piers
The din of the salute was kept up
several moments, the plane meanwhile
speeding on her way and slowly disap.
pearing in the bright eastern sky.

Thurman and Lecocq Die.
Arthur Thurman, a young driver
from Washington, was the first to die.

turned over on the backstretch after
coming out of owe of the turns, and
pinned the boy beneath it, crushing
him and killing him instantly. His
mechanician, NJ. Molinaro, suffered a
fractured skull and is reported to be
dying. Mrs. Thurman was in the
grandstand and collapsed when she
was told of her husbands death.
Shortly afterward Louis Lecocq's
Roamer upset, also on the backstretch.
The gasoline tank exploded, the ruined
car caught fire and Lecocq and his
helper, r. Bandini, were burned to
death.
Cars Too Fast for Track.
Lecocq. like Thurman, was making
his first appearance as driver on the
Indianapolis track, though he had had
racing experience as a mechanician.
All the drivers started with full
knowledge that their cars were too
fast for the course and that they were
taking chances, but they kept grimly
ahead after the $4,000 prize money,
while the bands played briskly to dis
tract folks attention and the specta-
tators gazed curiously across the pad
dock at the clouds of black smoke
rising from Lecocq's burning car.

An enormous crowd turned out for
the race, breaking all attendance rec
ords in the history of the track. Ac-
cording to the management 125,00O
persons were within the inclosure. All
the stands We're filed, hundreds of
cars were parked in the paddock, and
shortly after the race was started a
field on the backstretch was opened to
admit late comers who could not be
accommodated elsewhere
Ralph DePalma and his big Packard
took the lead at the start and for go
miles kept ahead. Only once did he re-
linquish his position, and then he re-
gained it so quickly that no one knew
the difference.
But when the contest was half over
his old 'jinX" made its appearance
and the Packard went to the pits with
broken valve spring.
