Air Service Several years ago, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), realizing the commercial importance of the aeroplane, set oat to develop a gasoline and lubricating oil for aeroplane use. The work was carried on with the thoroughness and patience that characterize all the research of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Experiment after experiment was worked out in the laboratories of the Company and many tests were made. Finally a gasoline and lubricating oil were developed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to meet the requirements of the aeroplane with scientific perfection. The result is that today the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) furnishes the major part of the gasoline and lubricating oil used in aeroplanes. The early recognition by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) of the commercial importance of the aeroplane is evidence of the Company's vision and ability to sense the significance of new developments. The growth of commercial aviation has only begun. Aeronautical experts foresee tremendous development in the next few years and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) shares their faith. We are using aeroplanes in surveying, in photographing cities and mapping land tracts, in writing advertisements in the sky, in preventing forest fires. Aeroplanes are being used for passenger transportation. Air highways are independent of surface conditions. As the hazards of flying are being lessened, its popularity is increasing constantly. The aeroplane has proved its worth as a commercial carrier in time saved and money gained. The need is for extended airlines branching in all directions. _ The expansion of this form of air service will mean the speeding up of industry. Air mail has proved commercial aviation’s most notable success. It has revolutionized mail service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud to contribute its share to the development Of an air service that soon will draw this broad country of ours as closely together for business purposes as it has England and France. The. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is marching onward with the pioneers of progress, working with thought for the future, holding the steady purpose to serve loyally and well the thirty million people of the Middle West.

WHEELER AGREES TO MANUFACTURE OF WHISKY IN D.S. Declares Treasury Plan for Organization Pleases the Anti-Saloon League. Washington, Nov. 29.—Purchase and distribution of medicinal whisky by a private corporation, as proposed by the Treasury Department, in its last recommendation yesterday by Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon League. In a statement announcing a meeting of the legislative committee of the league this week to consider such proposals, Wheeler declared he knew of no opposition to the department’s recommendation, provided the activities of the private corporation were conducted under existing regulations. “There was opposition to the original plan for government ownership and distribution,” he explained. “The secretary of the treasury never indorsed this plan. If the last bill proposed includes the authority needed to limit the distilleries that may open, this I will go far to settle the question ! as to whether it is best to buy liquors abroad or manufacture them in the United States. It is an added reason for early action on the bill which Gen. Andrews requested.” Unduly Disturbed. Automobile salesmen and manufacturers are unduly disturbed, Wheeler said, over the recent decision of the Supreme court authorizing the forfeiture of automobiles under the old internal revenue laws when seized for rum running. Their fear that automobiles innocently sold on the installment plan would be a total loss when so seized were not well founded, he stated. They have two remedies, he explained, by requiring a bond of the purchaser that the automobile will not be used for illegal purposes or by recourse to the method now provided by law for the innocent owners when the automobiles are seized under Section 3450 of the revised statutes. o Representative Dickinson of Iowa is opposed to the action of the national industrial conference board and the United States Chamber of Commerce in forming an agricultural fact-finding body. He believes that the joint commission “is not to get more information, but to filibuster against passage of a genuine farm relief bill at the approaching session of Congress.

Senator Edwards Sees Impetus for Modification— Wheeler Skeptical. Washington, Dec. 3.—Wets and drys in the capital turned last night to the Canadian elections for their latest vehicle upon which to transport their views. Senator Edwards (Democrat, New Jersey), a wet leader, saw in the Ontario vote for liquor sales by government permit an added impetus for the American antiprohibitionists’ drive for sane wine, beer and liquor legislation, while Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti-Saloon League declared that while the “wets guessed right in their plan to put across a wet program,” he believed “Ontario will again go dry because the majority of the electors are in favor of the dry province.” “The lesson to be learned by America from the Ontario elections,” Senator Edwards said, “is that whether we be wet or dry in our convictions concerning the eighteenth amendment and Volsteadism, prohibition laws now on our statute books are not the solution of our liquor problem. “The Ontario temperance act was a war-time measure just as is the Volstead act and both .were crammed down the throats of a people more interested in the perpetuation of world democracy than in preachments of prohibition fanatics.” o Collection of $3,000,000 as a refund from the government is sought by heirs of the estate of James Hill, Sr., the empire builder, in a suit which begins in United States district court at St. Paul, Minn., Monday. The heirs claim the government was paid $8,000,000 in inheritance taxes before inheritance tax laws became effective.
