Spring Cleaning. Make your husband a spring house cleaning rather than a knocker, says I the bulletin issued today by the Publicity Bureau of the Indiana State Medical Association which stressed tile health side of clean-up weeks and clean up days that are scheduled this time of the year for almost every home in every up-to-date Hoosier com-1 . raunity. ! "If done correctly and thoroughly, I spring house cleaning may be classed as a real preventative *of disease for, when the house wife cleans properly she is carrying on a real, hand-to-hand struggle against the disease germs which thrive in dark, dirty and dusty places but are scattered and ! put to rout by sunshine, strong arms, and disinfectants.” says the bulletin, j ' The responsibility of safeguarding j your home against disease does not ‘ rest alone witli your family physic-j | ian. He is ready to give you an tin-. nual physical examination, which should be part of the annual I spring cleaning program of every family and tell you what you should do to safeguard your health. Like a ( I minute man of old, he stands ready to ( rush to your aid when you are over-| come by disoase. But your family' physician needs your constant help and aid in the battle against disease germs, those invisible but very real enemies of mankind. "The bulletin suggests the following as the best way to avoid disease: • I—Do1 —Do those things which promote good health. I 9. —Keep up your resistance against disease germs. 3,—Have a reputable, qualified physician check up at least once a year upon the disease resistance of every member of your family. •t i'se every reasonable means to destroy germs, thus reducing the hazard of these invisible enemies of mankind. ■ If correctly done, house cleaning is worse than useless and may be really dangerous to health." continues the bulletin. “Open sweeping of carpets and rugs spreads dust and germs: omitting to wash woodwork, door 1 knobs, door joints, bannisters, chair arms and the uncarpeted parts of the floors is a failure to clean thoroughly ’ and properly. I "Disinfectants which destroy disease germs and make them harmless should play an important part in every ' spring house cleaning program. All . disinfectants are not the bad smell-. ■ lug, dangerous things that most peo- ’ pie think they are. Soap, for instance, is one of the best disinfectants 1 in the world, and will do wondirs against germ laden, dust accumulations. , “So make your spring house cleaning a check up on your health as well as a clean up occasion for your home."

DECATF’B DAILY DEMOCRAT, MONDAY, MAY 10. 1926.

Wile Os Senator Arthur I Capper Dies Al Baltimore i Baltimore, Mil., Muy 10—(pulled Pn’ss) —Mrs. Arthur Capper, wife of United States .senator Capper of Kansas, died at 3:30 a. tn.. todhy at the hospital for the Women of Maryland. 1 ■ — 0 ' ■ ■ OBITUARY On October 15, 1892, in Troy township. Whitley county, Indiana, there was born a daughter, to Milo and Nancy Snodgrass, and she was christened Arba Dell, When a small child, she was liereaved of her mother, together with a little brother. She received a part of her schooling in the Richland township schools and later, when her parents moved to Etna township, she attended the Etna high school and was graduated from th,* Etna township high school in' April. 1912. | j On April 10, 1912, she was united in marriage to Curl Noble and to this happy union wore born two sons, Mark and Lowell, aged 12 and 8, respectively. Soon after their marriage, they moved to Decatur, where they resided until February, 1914, when they re- | turned to Whitley county, and resided there until February, 1916, when they returned to Decatur, where they have resided since. | Under the |»astorate of Rev. T. H. Harmon, in 1913. she was converted to Jesus Christ and accepted Him as her personal saviour. She united with the United Brethren church at Decatur and retained her membership there until death translated it to the church triumphant. She was always a faithful member and was true and faithful to all her religious duties. In the local church and Sunday school, she was an active worker and served in several official positions, was a teacher in the beginners’ class for several years and at the time of her ' death was superintendent of the beginners' department of the Sunday school. She was always thinking and planning for her church work, and upon her sick bed she planned and talked with the pastor and friends about her class work. Iler religious life not only found expression in the church, but also in the* community, for she was a true Christian, a loving wife and mother, devoted to her family, church and God. She leaves to mourn her going away, I a devoted husband, the two sons, father. mother, two brothers and sister, besides many other relatives. Not only is the loss to the family keenly felt, but the United Brethren church has lest one whose place they know not where nor how to fill. They fully realize that Heaven is richer and fairer today because of her sweet spirit , being translated there and that God is using her with the children there as He did with her here. Thirty-three years, six months and thirteen days marked the time God loaned her to this world. Funeral 1 services were conducted from the Decatur United Brethren church, Friday, April 30, at 1 o'clock and then the | cortege drove to the old home community in Whitley county where from ' the Troy Presbyterian church, services, ■ were conducted at 2 o'clock. The ! Rev. Cecil R. Smith, pastor of the United Brethren church of this city, was in charge of all the services and used as the text for the services in | the local church, 'Precious in the sight of the Lord is death of His' . Saints,” and for the services in the’ home community. "Call the laborers I and give them their hire.” Local members of the Decatur church, acted as pall bearers and had ( charge of the music in Decatur, while, the home community furnished the mu-j sic at that service and her nephews, acted as pall bearers. ! A large number of the members of the local church and friends accompanied the funeral party to the last resting place, the cemetery near the ( Troy Presbyterian church in Whit-, ley county. The floral offerings were! many and beautiful and gave expression of the high esteem that Mrs. Noble and the family were held in 1 by her many friends. Some day all doubt and mystery Will be made clear, The threatening clouds now we see, Will disappear. Some day, what seems a punishment In this life of pain, Will prove to be God’s blessing, sent For our very gain. Some day, our weary feet will rest In sweet content, And we shall know how we are blest By what was sent. And looking back with clearer eyes, O'er life’s short span, We’ll see with wondering glad surprise God’s perfect plan. AmHSwwhig that the path we went Was God’s own way, We'll understand His wise intent, Some day— Some day.

Hampton came swiftly to Carson’, aide. "They left the Lower End thli afternoon and came on here. Then 1 both armed, they rode away again a RSnr or five o’clock. I tel! you, man, something has happened to them.” I "Don’t believe It," retorted Carson, i "Not for one little half-minute, I don’t , What’s to happen? Huh?” "You know as well as I do what sort J of characters are about. The man who robbed Charlie Miller —who shot at Bud Lee —" ■ "Whoa I” grinned Carson. "Don’t • you go and fool yourself. That stiek- . up gent Is a clean hundred miles from here right now an’ still going real live- ■ ly. If any other Jasper lent him h ‘hand, why, he’s on his way, too. Not 'stopping to pick flowers. It’s the way them kind plays the game." Carson was so cheerfully certain, so amused at the thought of Bud Lee and Judith Sanford requiring anybody’s assistance, so confident concerning the methods of outlaws, that finally Hampton sent him awny, half-assured, , and went himself to ills friends In the living room. He let half an hour slip by In restless inactivity. For, no matter what jCarson might say or these people here do, Judith had not yet come In. Hampton left them and went to his room . for a rifle and cartridge-belt. He Intended to slip out quietly. Marcia met him in the ball;, She had heard his quick steps and guessed that be was going out. Now clearly, though she was frightened, she was delighted with him. He had never thrilled her like this before. She had never guessed that Pollock Hampton could be so stern-faced, so purposeful. She wblsIpered an entreaty that he be careful, I then, as be went out, ran back to the others, her eyes shining. "Pollock Is going to see what Is the matter," she announced excitedly. Hampton passed swiftly through the courtyard. He saw the light of the bunk-house gleaming brightly. On his | ■ way down the knoll he came uffon I Tommy Burkitt. | I "Is It Mr. Hampton?” asked Tommy, 'coming close In the darkness to peer at him. "Yes. What Is it? Who are you?” I "I’m Burkitt, Tommy Burkitt, you know—Bud Lee’s helper. I —l am ' afraid something has happened. Lee 1 hasn’t come In yet. They tried to pick I him off once already, you know—” "Neither has Miss Sanford come In,” said Hampton quickly, sensing here at last a fear that was fellow to his own. "They rode toward the Upper End. You know the way, Burkitt?" He moved on toward the corral; Burkitt turned and came with him. "Sure I know the trail," muttered Tommy. “You're goln' to see what's wrong with ’em? Miss Judy, too! My G—d—” “Bring out a couple of horses," Hampton commanded crisply. "We'v* lost time enough already.” "I'll go tell Carson an’ the boys—" “I have already told Carson. He says It's all nonsense. Leave him alone.” Tommy, boy that he was, asked no I further questions, but ran ahead and brought out two horses. In a twinkling he had saddled them and tbs ■ two riders, each with a rifle across his arm, were hurrying over the mountain ! trail. I In the blackness which lay along the upper river Hampton gave hts horse a free rein and let it follow at Tommy's heels. When, finally, they drew rein under the cliffs at the lake's

etlge all was silent save for the tulnt distant booming of the river below them. "Now which way?” whispered Hampton. Tommy was shaking hts head in uncertainty when suddenly from above there came to them the sharp report of a rifle. Then, like a bundle of firecrackers. a volley of half u dozen staccato shots. "Listen to that, Burkitt,” muttered Hampton. "They’re at It now —we re on time —" Tommy slipped from the saddle wordlessly, came to Hampton's side and tugged gently at his leg, whispering for him to get down. Leaving their horses there, they slipped Into the utter darkness of the narrow chasm In the rocks which gave access to the plateau above. "Now,” cautioned Tommy guardedly, as they came to the top, "keep close to me if you don't want to take a beader about a thousan’ feet. Look I" He nudged Hampton and pointed. "There are two horses across yonder; Bud's an’ Miss Judy's, most likely.” Hampton did nut see them, did not seek to see them. Something new. vital, big, had swept suddenly "into Ids life. He was at grips first-hand with unmasked, pulsing forces. "They 're at It now 1" he whispered to Burkitt. Men—yes. and a girl—were shooting, not at just wooden and paper targets, i but at other men I At men who shot i back, and shot to kill. "Listen,’’ said Burkitt, "Somebody’s In the old cabin; somebody's outside. Which is which? We got to be awful careful.” / They began a slow, cautious approach, slipping from bush to bush, from tree to tree, standing motionless now and then to frown Into the folds of the night’s curtains. Abruptly the firing ceased. They made out vaguely the two forms of the attackers, having located them a moment ago by the spurting flames from their guns. Then, "Got enough In there?" came the snarling voice of Qulnnlon. "It you haven’t, I'iu going to burn you out an’ be d—d to you!” He got an answer he little expected. For Hampton, running out into the open, now that he knew that Bud and Judith must be in the cabin, was firing ns he came. Burkitt’s rifle spoke with ills. "Run for It. Shorty!" yelled Quin nlon. "You know where. We’r* up against the Blue Lake boys.” “Bud!” shouted Tommy. "Oh, Bud 1” "In the cabin,” came Bud’s ringing answer. "Give ’em ii—1, Tommy 1 Coming I" With bls words came the sound of the door snapping back against the wall, the reports of Tommy's rifle and Hampton's pumping hot lead after two racing forms. “They'll get away I” shouted Hampton, a sudden red rage upon Idin. "Curse It! It's too dark—” Then Tommy gave over shooting I and yelled to Lee to hold his fire. For Instead of two there were three flying forms, three fast-racing, blurring, shadowy shapes merging with the night, Pollock Hampton, his rifle gltlfibed In hfs hand, was running with k college sprinter’s speed after Qulnnion and Shorty, calling breathlessly: I "Look out, they’ll get away I" ' "Hqirtpton, come back!" shouted after him. 1 was gaining on the heavy-set Shorty and had no thought of coming back. Nor a thought of anyI thing In all the wide world just then but overtaking the flying figure In front of him. Shorty stumbled over a fallen log and rose, cursing and calling: "Chris! Lend a hand." That little chance of an uprooted tree saved Hampton’s life that night. Shorty, falling, had dropped his gun and hurt his knee. For a moment he groped wildly for the lost rifle, then ran off without IL Hampton cleared the log and, with a yell rather befitting a victorious savage than the young man whom Mrs. Langworthy hoped to call her son, threw his long arms about Shorty’s neck. "I got Idm !” shouted Hampton. “By glory—” Shorty drove a big brutal fist smashing Into his captor’s face. But Hampton merely lowered bls head, biding It against Shorty’s heaving shoulders, and tightened his grip. Shorty struggled to his feet, shaking at him, tearing at him, driving one fist after the other Into Hampton's body. But, with a grimness of purpose as new to him as was the whole of tonight’s adventure, Hampton held on. Judith and Lee and Burkitt came to them as they were falling again. Now suddenly, with other bard hands upon I him, Shorty relaxed, and Hampton, | his face bloody, his body sore, sank | back. He had done a mad thing—buj triumph lay in that be had done It.

t ’A man neier can tell." muttered Bud Lee, with less thought of th* captive thun of the captor—"never <ua Mil." "I am thinking." said Judith wunderlngly, "that 1 never quite did you juathY, Pollock. Humpton!” CHAPTER VIII Jatt a Girl, After All Hampton's captive, known to them only ns Shorty, a heavy, surly man whose small, eyes burned evilly under ids pale brows, rode that night between Hampton and Judith down to the ranch-house. He maintained a stubborn silence after the first outburst of rage. Burkitt and Lee. despite Judith’s objections because of Lee's wounded leg. remained at the cabin with Bill Crowdy. Crowdy had lost a deal of blood and, though he complained of little pain, was dearly In sore need of medical attention. Crowdy, like Shorty, refused to talk.

Bank of Service Is Crude Fading Out? That crude production is diminishing in relation to registered cars is proved by statistics. The petroleum industry is confident that it will continue to recover sufficient gasoline to meet the constantly increasing demands. A brief review of the major facts may be enlightening. During 1913 crude oil was produced to the amount of 194 barrels for each of the 1,258,062 cars then registered. : Twelve years later in 1925, crude oil production s shrunk to 38 barrels for each of the 19,946,963 cars registered during that year. Reducing these figures to terms of gasoline discloses the fact that in 1913 there were 912 gallons of gasoline manufactured for each registered car, while in 1925 there were only 470 gallons of gasoline available for domestic consumption for every registered car. To be deducted from the latter figure is the tremendous amount of gasoline used annually by tractors, stationary gasoline engines, and by the Arts and Industries, concerning which no complete statistics are available. During 1913 the average recovery of gasoline from crude was about 11%. , If the petroleum industry in general, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in particular, had atood still during these last twelve years and made no progress whatever, 1925 would have seen a recovery of only 167 gallons of gasoline per car. But the petroleum industry has not been satisfied to •tand still and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) spent enormous sums of money and unceasing effort to develop advanced refining processes. These processes so increased the yield of gasoline from crude, that instead of 167 gallons we find 470 gallons of gasoline per car for domestic consumption. The advanced refining processes developed by Standard Oil Company (Indiana) have been the chief factors in solving the ever present gasoline problem for the 30,000,000 people of the Middle West. While the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) owns these processes, it elected not to keep them for its exclusive use. It leased them to other refiners that they also might recover a greater yield, and thereby help to keep the price of gasoline at a low level. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes that one of the greatest services it is rendering is the exertion of all of its energies and the employment of all its resources to keep the price of gasoline at a level so low that all may enjoy its benefits. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is confident of its ability to cop* successfully with the problems of the future as it has with those of the past.
