TRADE WITH ITALY
Miss Humes Notes Big In
crease in Imports From
America.

The United States now holds first
place in Italy in regard to import trade,
according to Miss Elizabeth Humes,
United States trade commissioner of the
United States Department of Commerce.
Miss Humes, who has been stationed in
Rome for the past three years, has just
returned from an extensive tour Of
leading cities of the East and the Mid
die West, where she has talked before
groups of men interested in export trade
as well as many business womenS clubs.
Miss HumeS stated that there has
been rapid increase In Italy during
the past four years in the importation
of American made automobiles This
popularity may be attributed to two
causes, she said: First, the body lines
and colors of the American cars appeal
to the beauty loving Italians, and, sec
ondly, the middle-priced six-cylinder car
of American manufacture has few COM
petitors' in Europe. There are many
four and eight cylinder cars of Italian
manufacture, but the reasonably priced
"quick pickup" six is rarely manufac-
tured abroad.
Increase in Other Lines.
In addition to automobiles, there has
been a great increase in the importa-
ton of American electric appliances,
farm implements and - bathing suits |!
This last-named article took italy by
storm during the past Summer, Miss
Humes stated At the fashionable Lido,
in Venice, the most numerous as we'll
as attractive bathing suits seen on the
beach were of American manufacture,
she said.
American-made hosiery is also gain
| ing in popularity, she remarked, and,
| strange as it may seem, due to the close
| proximity of France, American cos
metics are rapidly becoming recognized
| as close competitors for the favor of
| the Italian ladies.
Drop in Tourist Trade Noted.
Miss Humes stated that there had
been noticeable decline in Italy this
| Summer in the American tourist trade
| due to the sterilization of the Ira,
| which, as a consequence, has greatly
increased prices for Americans, who
! have proflted so greatly in the past few
| years from the low Ira.
Miss Humes is now preparing to re-
turn the latter part of this month to
her station in Rome, where she will
assume her duties as trade commits
Sioner from the United States.

Like U. S. Patent Leather.

American patent leather sales in Mex
leo have been growing rapidly and now
average only slightly less than 5000
square feet annually. Most of the mod
ern shoe factories In Mexico are over
ated or controlled by Americans, have
American superintendents or employ
supervisors trained in the United States.
In their efforts to obtain larger share
of the patent leather trade, but have
met with but slight success. American
tanners supply more than IS per cent
of the total patent leather imported arl-

ATLANTA. Ca. Sept. 13.-tF-
Verdict Of Georgia democrats was for

party primary yesterday in which the
candidacy of the New York governor
wa an outstanding issue.
Congressman Leslie J.. Steele, who
stood as a staunch supporter Of the
party's ticket from Smith on down,
gaincG a decisive victory over w. ID.
Upsaaw, bitter foe of the national
stsbGard bearer, for the congression-
al domination from the fifth district,
including Atlanta.
The gubernatorial contest where
both candidates were within their
party limits, saw the apparent re-
nomination OF Governor l.. G. Hard
man " the youthful State Senator
x. ID. Rivers.
Representative Steele. who wrested
the seat in the house from Upshaw
two years ago, on the basis Of the
popular vote, carried four Of the five
counties in the district and apparent
~ hae carried Atlanta, Upshaw's
home. Steele is a resident OF De-
catur.
issuing a statement expressing sat
isfaction over the result, Steele said
the result in the district indicated
democrats there were true to their
party.
Seventy six precincts out Of ninety
gave Steele a popular vote Of 1854
