EDUCATION FOR ALL: — * Os the 22,000 traffic fatalities with which this year's record will be ensanguined <0 per cent wilt be credited to the cities and of this great majority by far the larger part will be classified as pedestrians caught making crossings on more or less busy thoroughfares. Every traffic accident in which a pedestrian is the victim is not the fault of the car which figures in the unhappy affair. Those afoot are also reckless. In Philadelphia a good effort is under way to teach the pedestrian the need of caution no less than to teach the driver the necessity of care. The jay walker is a stubborn problem fot| traffic authorities and for drivers. If he ventures in the traffic ways lxtween established crossings the venture is. of course, at his own risk, though a majority of motorists will give him a chance if he is discovered in time. But the volume of traffic requires that if it is to make expedition it must do its time and that must be lietween traffic blocks. The jaywalker takes an acute risk when he dares the street where regulations have given the motorist right of way. Tltcre is much ydt to be done both in impressing the motorist with the rights of people afoot and especially of people afoot where they have a right to be - namely at established crossings. The thoroughfares are not solely for traffic awheel. Quite as much remains to lie done to impress ; those afoot with the need that they keep their own safety in mind and do some looking out tor themselves. | Through streets and streets wherej either traffic officials or automatic signals control motor traffic enjoin upon pedestrians that they have a care crossing such thoroughfares. Drivers look to signals to give them their rights. They expect that the regulations shall protect those afoot. It Is difficult business, as the fact of 22.000 fatalities and ot hundreds of tnousands injured duly attests. There is but one general rule and that is for everybody to be careful.

Please bear in mind that so long a:-, you make the fanner work all year to raise a corn crop at an average cost of sixty cents a bushel and sell it for less than that, .times can't he as healthy as they should be. That farmer is entitled to a per ventage of profit which will pay him for his labor and investment for if he isn't soon paid he will be forced to quit and enter some other line of business. Yon may say "let him quit if he wants to,” but just the same, every time a farmer gives wp his business of producing new food stuffs,' the problem of feeding the work! be- 1 comes that much more serious. He / should be the best paid, rather than the poorest paid of all those who labor. for upon his failure or success depends the prosperity for us all.

The democrats are holding meetings over the state, discussing plans, for next years campaign. K they will decide on constructive policies on the I road and school problems. a definite plan for reducing the number of boards, commissions and state cm-, ployes, get down to real business and | write a brief platform along those lines. I hey will find the people waiting for just such a political party and will receive the support of the voters. The people want something definite 1 and there are plenty of things that 1 can be improved. To discourage crime in New York I

Does Nature Give Us Gasoline ? The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believer that much of the misunderstanding of the petroleum industry, on the part of the public, may be chwwd • to lack of information reapectmg this very point Nature does not give us crude oil, much less dees she give us gasoline. She makes us pay for every barrel of crude we get in money, i n time and laborious effort. "Os the 18,500 wells drilled in the United States between January 1 and September 30 this year more than 6,500 faded to find oil," The drilling of these wells called for heavy investments of capital. The producers of crude oil pay enormous sums of money annually for w machines, equipment, engines, boilers, motors, pumps, pipes, tools, cement, tile, brick and scores of other materials. The cost of producing crude is great, and growing, It has been calculated “that in the producing branch alone over a half a billion dollars a year are spent in the effort to maintain the country's oil supply." More than one-third of this tremendous investment is lost by reason of the wells failing to reach an oil strata. The other two-thirds represent producing wells. When the oil is above ground, it must be handled and rehandled before it can reach your tank as gasoline. First, it must be transported long distances through pipe lines. Second, it must be stored in quantities sufficient to insure a steady supply for the refiners. Third, it must tic refined in plants that represent a total investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. Fourth, it must be transported in special tank cars to point of distribution. Fifth, it must be stored in bulk stations until called for by the consuming public, and, Sixth, it must be hauled in tank wagens to •erihce stations, garages, or to the tank of the ultimate consumer. Each of these steps calls for large investments of money and heavy operating charges all of which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) furnishes that you may have your gasoline w rn. and where you want it at a reasonable price. No, nature does not give us gasoline! Standard Oil Company (Indiana] General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So. Michigan Ave., Chicago, lil. 3964
