tan. Its function is to consolidate regional tempers Into a national Italian unit. Its materials are memories of cultural history and church backgrounds. If Is hoped that the new nationalism cun turn this literature into channels best suited to the artistic senses of the lieople. To date the only contributions of lasting qr.alities are Diuitt's Divine comedy mid the works of the Renaissance. Miss Mary Suttles then gave a review of the life and works of Gabriele D'Annunzio. He was born at Pescara in 1864. At the age of 15. while still in school he wrote "Cincinato,” his first story, for which he received 50 francs. For this he was praised highly and it was prephesled that he would one day make for himself one of the greatest names in Italy. From that moment he determined to devote himself to literature. Often he worked 18 out of 24 hours. "Fuaco” (1897), a great success of scandal, in its way brought the author more notoriety than genuine appreciation and thus he acquired a reputation for literary unwiidiesoineness which he long failed to live down. During tlie European war great military honors were bestowed upon him, including th® French Croix de Guerre. In 1924 ho was created a prime. Among his most important novels are: 'The Child ot Pleasure.” "The Intruder,” “The Tr umph of Death," '“Virgins of the Rocks," and “The Flame.” His plays are mostly lacking in action, and hai not been very successful on the stage. "The Dead City" was written for Sarah Bernhardt. Miss Suttles also gave a sketch of the life of Giovanni Papini, the Italian philosopher. Following this report Mrs. Myers reviewed the lives and works of Robrrto Bracco and Benedetto Coroce. She also gave sketches of tlie lives of Matilde Serao, who has successfully portrayed Neopolitan Bfe and character; and Grazia Deledda who has described the peopl of her native Sardinia. She stated that as in other lands, literary activity in Italy is being stimulated to over-produc-tion through the every-increaaing commercialisation of book-making. "Although this pressure and haste form an atmosplier unfavorable to the growth of masterpieces, there is no reason to apprehend that the Italian g'-n ns in tlie future, as in the past, will not enrich the world of lit( ratin' - witli works of power and beauty." At the close of the meeting Mrs. Myers served a luncheon. The next meeting of the club will be held in two weeks at the home of Miss Mary Suttles.

W. L. GREEN GETS BIG OVIATION AT NATIONAL MEET (CONTINUED FRUM PAGE ONE) February 28, 1890. For nearly a half century the U. M. W. of A. has been an integral part of the A. F. of L." Ho quoted from the charter of as follows: ‘‘The American Federation of Labor does hereby bind Itself to the United Mine Workers of America in Its work as an affiliated member, and when such a charter is granted the A. F. ot L. enters into a solemn covenant with the organization which is being chartered. "Tlie American Federation of Labor is under obligation to support that organization in all its jurisdictional rights.” "So far as I am concerned," he said, after completing reading this extract, “as spokesman for the workers of the country, the covenant made in 1890 will be kept now. ■“K-tte Amer’eau Federation of Labor would pursue any other poJk'y, then there would be chaos in the organization.” Rebellion has been noted in other lines of industry during past decades, and factions have broken from the A. F. of L. to form organizations outside its jurisdiction. Green pointed out. in frequent cases these new bodies, have later sought to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor. "In each case," he said, ‘ they have been told that first they must make peace with the organization from which they broke loose originally, and that then their applications for membership within the A. F. of L. would Ire considered.” Delegates to the convention believed that Green’s loyalty to Lewis and tlie delegates at Indianapolis would lie a crushing blow to those who have set up their own miners’ body in Springfield, 111.

Tndiqnei I I n A Year of Outstanding Accomplishment The manngement of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana I takes both pride and pleasure in directing the attention of the (.ompany's host of friends and patrons to its accomplishments during the past year. The financial statement, just released evidences 1929 as the most successful , “ar in the Company’s history. To the great public, whose enthusiastic and continued patronage has made this possible, the Company returns appreciative thanks. To the army of 27.122 employes, who have so ably carried out the policy of the < Company in giving to the public a complete and satisfying service, much credit is due. During the past year, this Company has taken a great stride forward by acquiring control of Pan American Petroleum and Transport Conqianv and subsidiaries with its five million acres of oil lands, thus providing an assured source of crude petroleum and securing expanded marketing facilities. This Company has likewise extended its marketing facilities in the great Rocky Mountain area through the Midwest Refining Company. Now the touring motorist will find standard Oil Company (Indiana) emblems of friendly, satisfying service in much new territory. The motorists of the Middle West have been quick to accept the New Bed ('.rown Ethyl Gasoline, introduced late in 1929. They have grasped the significance of a fuel that meets perfectly tne needs of the new high compression engine and lends new life to the veterans of the highway. An accurate idea of the degree of acceptance by the public of Standard < )il Company (Indiana) prod- ‘ nets is reflected in sales of 39,017,894 barrels of finished petroleum products in 1929 as compared with 35,432,806 barrels in 1928. The latest achievement, of the Manufacturing Department is tlie development of a new motor oil —which finds expression in New Iso-Vis and New Polarine, being introduced with great promise to the public, coincident with the publication of this message. The success of the Stock Purchasing Plan is emphasized by pointing out that after lieing in effect nine years, approximately 75% of the stock distributed under this plan remains in the hands of employes —which demonstrates the value of employe partnership. The Stock Purchasing Plan, the Annuity Plan and the Death Benefit Plan constitute the management’s tangible expression of its appreciation of the unwavering loyalty and tireless efforts of the employes. The Board of Directors is gratified by the constantly mounting number of stock holders now • 81,022. This is approximately 30,000 more than were of record a year ago. With this rapidly spreading ownership it seams certain that 1930 will Im another year of achievement greater in progres., greater in opportunity to serve the millions of people who call the Middle W est home Standard Oil Company (Indiana) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 South Michigan Ave., Chicago, 111. 5134
