P'OM the back of a sheep to the back of a man, wool passes through dozens of processes and machines, some of which were made possible, and all of which were shortened, by some product of petroleum. So delicate is the adjustment of this machinery that from the cams moving at a rate of 350 revolutions per minute, to the flying spindles, whose revolutions per minute exceed 12,000, every part must be in unison. For, should one part be retarded a little, and another part speeded up unduly, through faulty lubrication, there would be a strain on the fabric, and a break. The seriousness of such a break is seen when it is understood that the severing of a single thread will bring the giant loom to a standstill instantly. This is but a single example of the problems constantly being brought to Standard Oil Company (Indiana) lubricating engineers for solution, and emphasizes the necessity for the minutest accuracy on the part of these specialists in drawing specifications for special lubricants, and the peed for extreme accuracy on the part of the manufacturing department in producing lubricants to meet these specifications. It illustrates how highly specialized is the branch of industry which engages the attention of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), and the degree of enthusiasm for perfection which must prevail throughout this organization. And this enthusiasm does prevail. Harmony and concentrated interest is ever present throughout the organization of 25,000 men and women, every one of whom, from the Chairman of the Board of Directors to the lowliest recruit, is bending every effort to do his part in the production of useful products, and to have each of a superior standard ot fineness. \ • Standard Oil Company ' lndiana) , 910 So.

Kolle, the New York author of medical text books, whoss opinions are greatly valued, writes: "When the nerve tissue begins to lose its vitality, woman begins to loss her youth and vivaciousness.
