 Yet in it's issue of April A, 1920, the New York Globe pub lished the following:-

Also in confirmation of this same fact, Edward M. Souder, editor of the Kokomo Tribune and boyhood playmate of. the Apperson Brothers, in a Memory" written at the time of Elmer Appersop's death, had the following to say
 ''Elmer Apperson'5 bu5ines5

 With Elmer and Edgar Ap- person there was associated with Elwood Haynes, John Maxwell, for whom some years later the now famous Maxwell automo- bile was named.
 Thus we give all the facts con- corning the conception, creation and construction of Americas first mechanically successful motor car.
 In 1898 the Haynes-Apperson Company was incorporated and factory built to produce auto- mobiles. This was the first regu- larly incorporated company in the United States for the manu- facture of motor cars.
 Elmer Apperson was General Manager of this Company and Edgar Apperson, General Super intendent.
 This association continued for three years, at which time the Appersons withdrew to form their own company.
 As time went on the Apperson Brothers gave to the world many notable engineering motor car improvements, the most

The Exact Facts Concerning Who Actually Built the First Mechanically Successful American Automobile
 A Statement by the Apperson nBroAu Go.

The first mechanically success ful American automobilel
 Who built 1t?
 This statement Is to establish the true facts once and for all. An erroneous impression has been gained by a few that controversy exists relative to the "First Car" matter.
 We wish now to publicly an- nounce that this Is not true.
 Here are all the facts-the actual facts-and nothing else.
 In the early nineties, Elmer and Edgar Apperson operated machine shop in Kokomo, h. diana.
 At the same time Elwood Haynes was associated with the Natural Gas Company of Port land, Indiana.
 One day the thought came to MT. Haynes that a gasoline vehicle, would have untold eco- homie possibilities in America.
 It should be remembered that certain inventors in Europe had already been at work on the idea of the gasoline automobile. For example, the famous Benz cars had been operating for quite a while.
 Thus 1t was Elwood Haynes, who initiated the idea which de- veloped into the first mechan- ically successful American made motor car.
 However, the most important step of anyone who has found a new idea is to locate the brains and ability which will enable the development of the idea in a practical manner, so it-can be- come reality.
 So in this instance the best and most practical mechanics were sought.
 Messrs. Elmer and Edgar AppersOn were selected as being the most competent.
 At this time they owned the Riverside Machine Works. which was located on the site of one of our present plants.
Arizona republican., 1920-06-20

noteworthy of which are as fol- lows:-
 They designed and built the first double opposed motor;
 Built the first car with a float feed carburetor;
 Built the first car with electric ignition;
 Built the first gasoline motor car engine to win an award Tn America;
 Built the car that won the first American speed contest;
 Built the car that made the first 1O0-mile nonstop runin America;
 Built the car hat made the first long overland American tour;
 Built the two oAmerican cars that won first and second in the first Automobile Club of America run;
 Built their first four-cylinder car in 1905;
 Built their first six-cylinder car in 1907;
 Built their first eight-cylinder car in 1914;
 Built and designed the first "Chummy" roadster body;
 Building now the first eight cylinder motor with eighty less parts.
 From this humble beginning in 1894 developed the present gigantic American automotive industry.
 From this initial conception and creation, which cost about S75O to build by hand, we find today billions of dollars worth of automobiles in use in the United States.
 Since 1895 and 1894 the Ap- persons continually and con- sistently have built better and better automobiles. They put into practice their basic and fundamental designs, that are today in use by the entire auto mobile industry.
 The purpose of making public this full announcement of all the facts Is to make clear everyone's position.
 Just as there can be no doubt as to who conceived the first car, neither can there be any doubt as to who created and constructed 1t.

INDIAN ART IS
DISCUSSED BY
PROF. He EWETT

Ancient and modern culture his
tory of the Indian pueblos was dis
cussed by Dr., Edgar l.. Hewett Of
the School of American Research
in his. lecture at the state uniVcr-
sity yesterday afternoon. a large
number of townspeople joined the
students of the extension course in
attendance at the address of the
celebrated archaeologist.
Indian art is a symbolic one, said
DR.. Hewett, in his remarks upon
the exhibition of Indian paintings
which was hung in Rodey hall in
connection with the lecture. DE-.
Hewett pointed out that women in
the Indian drawing stands for fer
tility, multiplication. growth, and
that man stands for the dedication
of forces of nature.
The paintings made by Indian
boys are pronounced by Or. Hewett
as being some of the most re-
markable he has ever seen of any
nature. and he states that the
talent is an inherited one.
DR.. Hewett's lecture was Illus
trated with fine slides showing
types of Indians and architectural
forms. 1t was pointed out that
such noble types of face denoted
noble natures; in contrast some of
those who have lost the spirit of
the race through contact with
harmful forces were shown.

will be given this afternoon at Ais

was due to the physical work nee
essary for the completion of the
treaties for signatures. Tired by
more than five days and nights of
almost constant work, NJ. Joffe
looked b!tfemeIy pale, but his
voice showed no nervousness when
he announced without rising that
the treaty had been completed and
began reading the Russian text.
The head of the soviet delega-
tion described the Riga peace as
a peace without victory and with

before the signature of the treaty.
That decribes the Riga agreement
accurately as it appeared to disin-
terested onlookers. 1t was peace
of give and take, which those who
have followed the course of events
fear will not be very popular either
with the bolsheyiki or the Poles.
But it is undoubtedly a triumph
for the two chairmen who made t

which they handled the explosive
questions that disrupted the Minsk

the gratitude of a war exhausted

The Riga armistice will put the
bolshevik at peace with all thei.
Baltic neighbors within 144 hours
from midnight tonight and leave
the Wrangel movement as the only
great military operation against
the soviet.
NJ Joffe called attention to the
many difficulties encountered in
arranging the armistice and also 10
the harmonious manner in which
the delegations carried out the ne
gotiations. He also expressed the
belief that the foundation has been
laid for a permanent peace as both
nations are absolutely tired of
war and unwilling to assume the
responsibility for continuing the
strife.
