The Service Rendered by Efficiency in Gasoline Production THE man who fills his tank at a Service Station, or feeds his tractor from a tank wagon, may not realize it but sheer efficiency on the part of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is to a large degree the reason why the gasoline is there when he wants it. Oil News says: “During the winter 1921-1922 the majority of the refineries in the Mid-Continent field were idle. This was due largely to the fact that they could not refine and sell at a profit. They were in a way inefficient. Many could not operate. Others that Liight have operated could not get the crude. The large plants could and did finance themselves and (old some of their output as they made it at a profit." Keen efficiency —in small, as well as in big things, has enabled the Standard Oil Colnpany (Indiana) to refine and sell petroleum products at a fair profit, under the most competitive of business conditions. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has 1600 com» petitors in the Middle West. Standar Oil Company (Indiana) efficiency runs through every eration. It governs the appointment of executives. It selects oil men of long training and experience who know when and what type of crude to buy. It directs the style of machinery, the kind of stills to lie used. It determines the various products to be refined from the crude so that there may be no waste of oil, effort, time or overhead. This efficiency, and the confidence which the public places in it, enables the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to maintain its position as the leader iu the industry. It enables the management to plan for the future with confidence, and to keep its refineries going during periods of low consumption that it may be in position to meet adequately the unusual demands during periods of greater consumption. It is this efficiency which has spotted the country with bulk and service stations and caused more than 6600 motor tank wagons to traverse the streets and highways supplying the people everywhere with first quality petroleum products at prices which are fair. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) submits that such efficient management is the essential basis of the valuable service it readers. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.

U. S. Influence Strongest Factor Now in Argentine By PEDRO LAGRAVA United Press Staff Correspondent Buenos Aires —(By Mail to United Press. I —North American penetration in the Argentine is now an indispnt-‘ able fact. It is evident in every class ! economic penetration, cultural penetration, legal, industrial —in methods, in customs, in everything, even to the Vices. In the economic order of the republic many great banking institutions and many important American firms are definitely established. Five or six years ago there was not a single branch of an American bank here, and very few firms were all-American. All the newspapers now carry large

The merchants talk of American commercial methods, and when they want to tel! an employe to accelerate his activities, they advise him to be more “Yankee,” to think rapidly and work quickly, to lose no time. In court cases, when a lawyer has made a good case and can find no further precedent in Argentine law to support his argument, he cites laws or precedents of the United States. The judges themselves uphold their decisions by citing pronouncements of their American colleagues. In cultural aspect also the Argentine people incline toward America, while European development is receiving less attention. The newspapers receive their news largely from Ameri-

can agencies, the United Press maintaining a leading position. Daily many columns arc filled with news and comments of the United States. The part ot the population which understands and speaks English, that is large, reads the American magazines, papers, etc. A few years ago much enthusiasm for boxing and football, as well as for tennis and even boxing interested nobody. Football was little known. Today there is as baseball, as in the Anglo-Saxon countries. The smart dressers attempt to copy American styles of wearing apparel. The devotees of the movies ape the customs and habits of the stars ot the silversheet, where they see how people live north ot the Rio Grande. Even in the cabarets, salons, and social functions, the tango is giving way to the fox-trot, the shimmy and the “Boston:” The clubs are adopting names such as "American Social Club,” "Young Men's Dancing Club,” etc., all American- names. •—o ■ - — Elk’s Carnival Decatur, October 16-21. East Versus West for Museum Championship Philadelphia, Oct. 9.—(United Press) The war of the arts is on —east against west. The Widener collection of Pennsylvania and the Huntington collection ot California are vieing for the final i hampionship. the world's title in art collections. With the recent acquisition ot Rembrandt’s famous masterpiece “The Descent from the Cross,” the Widener museum offset the prestige won by Huntington. by his purchase of Gainsborough's “The Blue Boy" for SBOO,000. While the purchase pA< e of the "Descent from the Cross” has not been made public it is said to run considerably over the amount Widener paid for his last Rembrandt, rumored to have been $500,000. “The Descent from the Cross” is the flowering of the genius of the great Dutch master and marks the culmination of his efforts to interpret religious fevor. Like other "old masters” it has had a long and varied history and for many years its authenticity was doubted. At last restored and reinstated to its rightful place in the art world, it movSd from ownfi to owner until it was sold at Christie’s, London's famous auction room. This is the thirteenth Rembrandt Widener has added to his great art collection at Elkins Park, his beautiful estate near here. While Huntington has been building a magnificent museum out on his California estate, Widener has been quietly acquiring picture after picture. The winner in the contest will lie the public, for it is said that both collections will eventually be left the people. The city of Philadelphia has recently been enriched by the wonderful collection of English paintings, valued at more than $1,600,000, left it by the late John H. McFadden. o INTERESTING IF TRUE London, Oct. 9.—The first legal recognition of the value of an atom was registered here when an insurance company paid 117 pounds in respect of the breaking of a. radium tube at the London hospital, whereby an atom of radium was lost. o Free acts, etc. ELK’S CARNIVAL
