NIOSCOW. Dec. b (Rv a sail c

MOSCOW, Dec. 10 (By a staff CORE
spondent of The Associated Press -
There are 100000 on. the Russian gov
ernments civil payroll, says a report
Just made by Yorey Larin, the former
Social RevolutiOnist leader and chair
man of Il committee selected by the cen
tral government to reduce the number of
institutions supported by the government
and to eliminate UNNECESSARY bureaus
Karl Radek. Belshevist leader, stated
in recent article that the strength of the
Soviet army is 100000 men The size
of the navy is not known.
Granting that the figures of Radek
and Larin are correct the Bolshevist gov
eminent has at least 12.000000 persons
on it's civil and military payrolls, or one
person out of every 10 in what constitutes
Soviet Russia.
IN the civil~list 100000 persons are
engaged in industries, according to
Larin's statement, and 100000 are in
transport service. The employs in gov
| eminent offices and institutions number
100000. Timber work and farm work
under government control employ 100000.
| Larin says the most sweeping reduc-
| tiOns will be made in the department of
education which is headed by Lunach-
arsky and has 100000 employees At
| least one-third of these will be dis
/ charged. Teachers in the ordinary schools
will be unaffected, but Larin says his
commission intends to lop off all sorts
of museums, dramatic academies. dane
| ing studios and various side institutions
: which. he declares. are sapping the life
from the educational system and squan-
dering money which should be devoted to
| strengthening free schools and paving
| better salaries to teachers of ordinary
subjects.

on public payrOlls, Larin says it Will BE-

Apperson Enjoys
Good Business At
Gotham .Sho>lu

'Of course, we did some business at
the New York show states Il. Z. Jar
rard, vice president of the Apperson
Bros. Automobile company of Koko
mo, Ind. 1--WE did very nice business
there. So did other reputable manu-
facturrs.
Then came the Chicago show. Again
moro Appersons We're sold-more than
at the New York show-and they were
all good clean sales also
And as the other big metropolitan
shows follow in the many and various
big cities and important centers
throughout the country we expect to
do still more business.
I'VE feel that the settling period is
a mighty good thing not only for the
motor car industry but for the entire
country.
When conditions take shift as
they have in the last few months sell
ing methods must also shift. We have
added materially to our sales force,
our research work is more intensified
and as a result we are tuning up not
only to meet but incidentally beat
present conditions.
THE curve of advancement is
swinging up again, not very far, to
be sure, but the fact that it is adj
vancing, if only fraction of an inch,

those who fail to take advantage of il
will be lust about out of the running

Accessories Must
Not Change Cars

The owner of a motor car does not
want any accessory that requires the
changing of any part of the construc-
ton in any way. This fact has been
definitely established by the Hassler
Shock Absorber selling organization
during their seven years experience all
over the country.
1--WE always find appreciation on the
part of the car owner when we tell him
that Hassler Shock Absorbers do not
require changing his car in any way"
said Mr.. George T. Bryant. director of
sales of Robert II. Hassler fncorpo-
rated.
This is because the owner believes
his car is good as it stands, and does
not want to change it basically. He
believes in the car more thoroughly
than he can believe in any added fea-
ture and he wants to be able to remove
the accessory at any time and have his
original car as he purchased it.
THE fact that Hassler Shock Alb
sorbers may be removed and leave the
car exactly as it was before, no part
having been changed. makes it pos
sible for US to offer our ten day trial
