The test comes not alone in the cashier’s department and the circulation offices. This man showed his other greatness by run- j ning over, for the benefit of a few men in a smoking car, some of the things he had written about for a few years back. He viewed with alarm Germany's declaration of war on France, and said Germany would knock the flimsy French army into kingdom come within three months. He viewed with alarm the selective draft in America, and said there would be riots worse than the draft riots of 1863. He viewed with alarm the certainty of a panic last winter, with unemployment in every trade and bread lines everywhere. He viewed with alarm the prospect that Mr. Herbert Hoover, after making a great stir among the republicans, would go to San Francisco and be triumphantly nominated and elected by the democrats. He viewe’d with alarm, a few weeks later, the strong probability that President Wilson would force

HILL, Chemical Engineer of the It/i Bureau of Mines, in discussing the fux A ture of gast line, says: “It is up to the refiners to extract more of petroleum’s useful factors from the crude.” This he says can be effected through efficient ' management and by improved methods of cracking and blending. Mr. Hill thus expresses the opinion which has dominated the policy of the Standard Oil Com-' pany (Indiana) for many years and has enabled this Company to raise its efficiency peak year after year. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been a leader in developing processes to increase the yield of gasoline from crude oil. The best known and rr. st successful of its improvements is the Burton process, originated in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Speaking of the Burton Process, Mr. Hill says that “since it was first installed on a commercial scale it has produced approximately 40 million barrels of gasoline from heavy distillates, and has thus ! saved approximately 150 million barrels of crude th? would have been necessary to produce an eaui talent amount of gasoline.” This vast saving has been accomplished without sacrificing quality. Red Crown, the motor gasoline, made and sold by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), is acknowledged by petroleum chemists and other authorities to lie the standard fuel for motor cars. It more than meets Government specifications, which require an initial of not more than 140 degrees F; 20 percent off at 221 degrees; 50 percent off at 284 degrees; 90 percent off at 371 degrees; and a dry point (complete vaporization) at not more than 437 degrees F. During the semi-annual test conducted in July 1920, the average for Red Crown Gasoline showed an initial of 102 degrees F; 20 percent off at 210; 50 percent off at 281; 90 percent off at 387, and a dry’ point of 427 degrees F. This shows an initial 38 degrees better than Government specifications, which means easy starting; 20 percent off at 11 degrees better than Government specifications; 50 percents off at 3 degrees better than Government specifications; and’ 90 per cent off 13 degrees higher than Government specifications, which is more than made up by the 10 degrees difference in dry point. This proves that, notwithstanding the greatly increased quantity of gasoline which this Company is able to take from the crude, it has in no way sacrificed quality, and is another indication that the large scale operations of this Company have worked to the distinct advantage of every user of gasoline.

’ I his own renomination. I Did any of these things happen? i No, But how many of them did you . : believe? p I "The human mind is a terrible • ; thing," said a famous mind doctor the other day. "Any man’s reasoning Is based on two wishes and one fact." ' Hut the newspaper editor, making ‘ his confession' in the train, said he i would amend this. He says that ' many minds run on fuel composed of two barrels of fear and one pinch of nforination. —Colliers. Though much advice is being given is to what changes should be made !in the new tax law, it being now jf.eely admitted by every one that the present law is bad, no one seems to get at the real fault, the continuance of a two to four per cent, limit it indebtedness under the high valua tion. So long as that remains there a ill be an excessive tax rate all over Indiana for when we have credit we I invest it and when we spend we must i,ay. The increased valuation and the horizontal increases make taxes tinI -arable and the legislature will find i - a difficult task to make anything decent out of the present law. Boise Penrose has rented a hotel . or apartment in Washington, an im- ' mense building where he is to have headquarters and from where orders wilr be issued to the president of the United States, evidently. It is Announced that from this building will come the new tariff law, written for the big interests; from here will ccme the world treaty, written for the men who want certain things sot certain reasons; from here will come the laws and the action of the administration. It may be alrigh. but the people will rather doubt that' their interests are • being watched from such surroundings. Thursday is Armistice Day and _ — r ' ———

WF I' "A few minutes more, Pcguy dear, and Daddy will be back with the Kemp's Balsam. Then you can go to sleep and forget : that horrid old cough.' ’ KEMP’S BALSAM Will Stop That Cough the holiday, the anniversary of the ! close of the great world war, will be fittingly observed in this city by the members of the Legion, the boys who were in service and to whom the igning of the armistice meant the roturn to home and careers and life. i It is an important day'and should be so held as it will. Mayor Yager has asked that at 11 o’clock all business ' cease, that bells ring and whistles | blow to announce the , occasion and that every person stops for a moment ■ of earnest prayer. This we each should reverently do. Senator Harding is having a fine time now, receiving advice from every faction and every faddist in the land ! but the trouble will come when he must decide between the Roots and j the Borahs and the trusts and the people, his friends on every side of every question. Just now it looks easy but one knows that it requires more than a few minutes talk and a ; little salve to appease those who believe in certain things and expect the president-elect to co-operate with them, when the time for real action comes. Those who get “stung" when they ; lay for hundred proof whiskey and get sweetened water deserve but little sympathy and get it. Smooth grafters are doing a fine business .these days it seems from all reports but if a fellow wants to pay $15.00 er $20.00 for a quart of water and a liquor breath.' that's his business. Who shall say him nay? —■ i, —« Your business career is a journey. Wise advertising provides the parlor car and all the conveniences that go with it. It’s the best investment you can make.

As we were rolling into New I Orleans yesterday one of the men in the club car | was recounting his cigarette experiences; how he I finally pulled a trick on his luck and got set right! I “Well, I’ve had my cigarette lesson’’, continued g the traveller, “I went up and down the line on g. cigarettes until I got hold of Camels and got deep g , into their quality and mildness and delightful I flavor! There never was a blend such as Camels ■ .? combination of choice Turkish and choice Domes- ■ . ■ tic tobaccos! I’ll say it— Camels taught me what a I cigarette should be and they 11 teach any man who g smokes!” Thinks I to myself — “Sic ’em, judge, I every word you spill is a sentence!” ■ Now, Pete, that’s the kind of Camel thanks- g giving stuff you get North, East, South, West and g through the middle! That s all as true as that little g 4, sheep will wag their tails! g S I did some tall thinking as I browsed through < CcV- \ I the quaint old French quarter this evening , I —how universal the appeal of Camel ciga- ■ rettes really is!
