No. 7 of a Series POLICEMAN TELLS OF HIS NARROWEST ESCAPE
“To meet a desperate bandit and be a human obstacle in the way of his freedom is always going to result in the escape being narrow on the part of an officer,” said Otto Simon, telephone operator at police headquarters. “Once my partner and I were walking our district out on the lalll at Mt. Jackson keeping a close look out for horsethleves and highwaymen that were working then. We sighted two that answered descriptions we had and in the chase that followed I came as close to death as I will until the last call. “They ran in a distillery and when I went in after them I was greeted with a volley of shots. Bullets rained all around me and one of them went through my sleeve. Although I emptied ny gun and both my partner and I reloaded and emptied again the dense woods along Eagle Creek made escape of the bandits easy. “Because I beat him to the draw on another occasion when I swooped down on a man at work on the safe

In an anthracite coal mining district studied by the children's bureau, 519 boys under 14 years of ago were found to have been employed In the breakers contrary to law; and, likewise In violation of law. 137 under 19 were working underground. In the Interval that elapsed between the first (1916) and the 6econd (1919) Federal child labor laws, the bureau made an investigation of oyster and shrimp canneries along the gulf coast and found “more than 300 children under 14 years of age, some as young as 5 or 6. at work In cold, damp, drafty sheds, their hands cut by sharp

oyster shells, shrimp, thorns, and the knives which they used In the work.” Closely following the Supreme Court decision removing Federal protection from working children, came the publication of the 1920 census figures. According to the census of 1910 there were 1,990.225 children 10 to 15 years employed for wage In the United States. Workman Found Dead By Timet Special LOGANSPORT, Ind., Feb. 7.—The body of William E. Dean, 44, railroad worker, was found lying beside the mai ntracks of the Pennsylvania Lines here. It is believed he was struck by a freight engine backing out of the yards.
Reginald McKenna, head of the largest bank in the world, says that “Splendid isolation is a dream;” a truth which every industrial leader accepts as axiomatic. Had he substituted monopoly for isolation he would have expressed another self evident truth which would have been acclaimed by every man who has given serious thought to the development of business on a large scale. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a big business striving to do a big job in a big way, yet no thought is ’given to achievrtig a monopoly: for those who direct the company ’s activities know that in any basic industry such an ambition is impossible of fulfillment. Competition is welcome, for no singleorganization can hope to serve the people of the Middle West with petroleum products as they should be served. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) enjoys a large volume of business and is satisfied to let this volume take care of its profits. There is a reciprocal bond between every preat industrial organization and the social environment in which it operates An organization is truly great only when the service it renders is great. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is in daily contact with a community of about CO million people. It serves them through a host of useful products refined from petroleum. Through these products it touches the home and industrial life of the people. It enters the sick chamber with mineral oil and petroleum jelly. It enters the factory, the roundhouse, and the farmyard with lubricating oils for machines, engines, end tractors. It seeks the farm home with gasoline, kerosene, candles and parowax. It touches the railroad right of way with Fortmte Long Time Burner Oil for signal lam >s; it supplies thousands of public and private garages with gasoline and lubricants. It feeds the furnaces of homes and factories wit 1 Stanolind Furnace OiL It goes to the hr pital with Stanolind Surgical Wax. It paves the streets with Stanolind Paving Asphalt. These are but a few of the avenues of service which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) maintains. To keep these avenues open the Company operates 1700 service stations, 8900 bulk stations, 7000 tank wagons serving thousands of garages, and 6 great refineries to supply their needs. i Thus does the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) acknowledge its reciprocal bond, and by creating a host of useful, essential products from a single basic raw material crude petroleum justify its claim to master craftsmanship in industrial husbandry.

CLOTHING WORST NEEDIN RUSSIA Provinces in Rags, Relief Official Asserts. MOSCOW, Feb. 7.—“1 get more appeals for clothing than for food.” The above statement by 'Hoyt E. Porter, Baptist representative on the staff of Col. William N. Haskell, director of the American Relief Administration In Russia, is a compact history of famine situation in Russia as It is today. A food famine does exist. But It does not cover Russia. It is spotty. Some of the spots such as Pugachof in the Saratof district, Ufa and Orenburg on the Asian border and several places In the Southern Ukraine are in the grip of a famine as severe as ABasdin.'&ft Atjgrd&f sesm Oil-just l?

that of last year. From the very bad, the situations grade on up to the condition in the Kuban where the food famine is over, there being enough for all local needs and some for shipment. But with clothing it is quite different. Provincial Russia is in rags. In some of the larger cities a few of the people are well dressed but for the greatest part they are wearing clothing that originated anywhere from five years to a generation ago.
