DECLARESCZAR PREDICTED END YEARS BEFORE Former French Ambassador to Petrograd Tells of Premonition. PARIS, March 15—The late Czar of Russia was an extreme fatalist and liad a clear premonition of his approaching doom, according ,to M. Paleologue, former French ambassador at the court of Petrograd, who describes his Russian fcxperiencea In the Revue des Deux blondes. He quotes a strange anecdote from the lips of Stolypin, the Russian premier, who was assassinated in 1911: “One day in 1909 Stolypin proposed to the Czar an Important internal measure. He made a skeptical gesture and said sadly: “‘I succeed in nothing I undertake. I hare no chance. And human will is so powerless !* “Courageous and resolute by nature, Stolypin protested with energy. Then the Chtar said to him: 'Do you know on what Saint's day I was born?* “ ‘Pardon me. sir; 1 don't remember.’ “ ‘The Patriarch Job’s day.’ “‘Thank God! Your majesty's reign will end gloriously.’ “ ‘No, bellere me, Stolypin. I hare something more than a presentiment—l hare an inward conviction that I am destined for terrible trials and I shall not receive my reward here on earth. How often hare I not applied to myself the words of Job: “For the thing which I greatly feared comes always on me, and all the ctlls I am afraid of descend on me.” ’" The last of the czars remained faithful to the allied cause, despite the intrigues in his court. After the outbreak of the war be summoned the French ambassador to his court and told him: "As for me. I shall fight to the last. To win victory I shall sacrifice my last shilling and my iast man. So long as there is an enemy on French or Russian territory I will not sign peace.” When a Russian lady of high birth returned from a visit to Darmstadt, where she saw the Grand Duke of Hesse, the brother of the Czarina, the Czar ordered her into a convent as punishment for her intrigues. He refused to believe the

THE eleven states served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is an empire in area, wealth, population, and industrial activities. It constitutes the largest and most important market for petroleum products on the American continei.*. To win such a market, to gain the confidence, and enjoy the respect of this buying public is a task worth while To achieve this objective, to merit the confidence of its patrons, and to be prepared at ali times to serve them, has been ror many years the dominating idea of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). To make its service more comprehensive it manufactures special grades of its products to meet special requirements. For example, take gasoline. Under this general head come fifteen different products, each made with scientific precision to meet a specific, well-defined need. For the motorist the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) makes Red Crown Gasoline. This product is made for the sole purpose of generating power in the modem internal combustion engine. It has a chain of boiling point fractions carefully adjusted anci graduated with scientific exactness to enable you to get from your engine all me power it can develop. In attacking the problem of supplying motor gasoline for 30 million people, three main points were con^dered — First—Quality: The gasoline must function perfectly: to do this nothing short of scientific precision is sufficient. Second—Quantity: To meet the ever-grow-ing demands for motor fuel, the yield of gasoline must be great if the cost is to be kept down. Third—Distribution: To make it easy for the consumer, wherever he may live, to secure 1 gallon or 1000 gallons of gasoline, whenever he may need it. In Red Crown Gasoline is symbolized the ideals animating the Board of Directors of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Red Crown is highly efficient—it is produced in large quantities, and sold at a price that is fair to all. Red Crown has achieved leadership by rendering a maximum of service just as the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has become a leader in the industry by renderings definite, positive, essential service. It is by such standards that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) measures its usefulness, and by maintaining such standards it intends to continue this leadership by meriting the confidence and respect of the public it serves.

ing noticeable. A Moscow friend told M Pale ologue: “The days of Czarism are counted, it is lost, irreparably lost. The revolution is Inevitable. The middle-class will give the signal for it, imagining that they are going to save Russia. From a middleclans revolution we shall pass at once to a workers' revolution. Then a gliustly anarchy will begin, an interminable anarchy—ten years of it!” The French ambassador confirms the story of the ascendancy of the monk, Rasputin, over the weak-minded Czarina. “By a strange phenomenon of mental contagion,” he says, “she has assimilated by degrees the oldest and most peculiar characteristics of the Russian soul—its obscurity, its emotion, its vagueness, which find their final expression in religious mysticism. The docility with which she has submitted to the ascendancy of Rasputin is most significant and takes us back to the days of Ivan the Terrible.” Grand Duchess Elizabeth, sister of the Czarina, incurred disgrace by resisting the machinations of the mystical monk. Says Movies Need More Irish Actors CHICAGO, March 15.—What the motion picture Industry needs, according to Col. P. E. Holp, lecturer for the Society for Visual Education, is more Irishmen. “Since vulgarity has been banished from the films, stupidity has taken Its place,” said Colonel Holp. “What we need is more real humor in our pictures. More Irishmen in the industry will accomplish this result. “Irishmen are able to see the funny side of things. They could bring it out in the celluloids. There is nothing funny i ndestroylng property or hurting people. Yet, that is what passes for ‘humor’ in most of our present-day ‘comedies.’ “Fun does not depend upon vulgarity. Horseplay is not the concomitant of real humor. True humor is clean, bright and wholesome. Wit and wisdom should be combined in equal parts.”

JRITONS SAVE RAINDROPS TO AVOID FAMINE Landoner’s ‘Bawth’ Curtailed to Meet Water Shortage Due Next Summer. LONDON, March 14.—How to wash and use the minimum of water la the advice now being given to 'londoners by the Metropolitan water board. “Waste not, want not” is the motto of the board, and its members are endeavoring to point out to London that unless nil care is taken, or urless there is an abnormal rainfall in the meantime, London will be faced with a severe drought of water during next summer. From April to November, in 1921, scarcely a drop of rain fell in London and roundabaut. Consequently all tie reservoirs and springs supplying the ciiy are on the point of exhaustion, and every precaution has to be taken to secure an adequate supply during next June, July and August. “HATH IS WASTEFUL/* “Take the ordinary bath,” says the water board; "that is wasteful to a deplorable extent. “When water is superabundant the waste matters little, but the reverse Is true in times of stress. It is amazing how little water is really required to keep one clean and refreshed. “If a little water is poured into a basin and the basin placed in the bath to control the effects of splashing the use of

Avery little water and plenty of soap Is aU that is needed, and a little extra clean water may be used to remove the dirty soapy water from hands and face. “Many people, without thinking wash their hands under a running tap—perhaps three or four times daring the days work This running-tap habit Is so wasteful as hardly to need comment. “It is no exaggeration to say that the bath water could be reduced ten times and the water used for washing the hands and face haired without Infringing the laws of decency."
