PHILADELPHIA, August 25. - In Katherine Brown, of New York, a chubby maid of nine, there has been developed the real article. Not only is she displaying all-round skill never approached by a girl of her years, but she has actually defeated in competition many a woman rival. Her latest achievement gives some Idea of her remarkable ability. * A few days ago there was held in the Delaware river, here, a three-mile Marathon swim for women, and thir-ty-two of the speediest mermaids of the east took part. Including seven present and former national champions. The little wonder was among the starters, only no one believed she would even complete the course. But she gave both opponents and spectators the surprise of their lives Swimming the crawl stroke In admirable form, she began to draw away from a number of her antagonists from the start and when she crossed

Accompanied by his family or his friends, he, like the Argonauts, can start a little journey into unfamiliar places.

He need have no fear of consequences, for the modern automobile is a sturdy, dependable friend. All it asks is gasoline, a little lubricating oil, and water. With this it goes up hill and down, without fret or worry.

In addition, she is expert In the art of lifesaving and she has given practical demonstration of efficiency by rescuing from drowning one of her little olav-

mates this summer.

Possibly heredity may explain the amaxing ability Katherine has attained in childhood. Her father is Commodore Alfred Brown, of the American Lifesaving Society, for a number of years the national champion long-distance swimmer among professionals and the first man to swim the twenty-two-mile •course from the Battery to Sandy Hook, In New York bay, and also the Panama canal from ocean to ocean. The latter trip he made in two days.

The wayside brook, or the well on a friendly farm supplies the water, while gasoline and oil may be had anywhere from the Service Stations of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana).

Distributor*, Indianapoli*.

The splendid system of distribution organized and maintained by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) covers every city, town, and hamlet, and in many cases there is a tank and pump beside the little store at the fork of the roads.

This complete distribution of its products is one of the chief services rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to the

motorists of America, yet it rep-

tli

resents but one of the many benefits derived by the public at large from the operation of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)

as a public servant.
