NO EBB IN TIDE OF TELEPHONIC CONVERSATIONS Americans, With Total for One Year Over Billion, Surpasses World. WASHINGTON, June 18.—There was an estimated total of over 24,738,000,000 telephone calls originated in the United States during 1922. according to preliminary figures recently published by the United States Census Bureau. Telephone talk in this country seems to be a tide that rises, but never ebbs. There were nearly three billion more telephone calls originated during 1922 than during 1917, when the last previous telephone census was taken, a net gain of over 13 per cent in five years. Figures from other authentic sources indicate that American far surpass the people of any European country in the use they make of their telephone service. During 1921. for example, there were over 160 completed telephone calls for every man woman and child in this country, as against approximately 120 calls per person in Denmark and Norway. Those two Scandinavian nations, whose telephone systems are oper ated partly by private companies and partly by their respective governments, ranked next to the United States in telephone conversations per capital during 1921. Great Britain. whose telephones are all under public ownership, lagged far behind in this respect, with only sixteen telephone messages per person during the year—one-tenth the number used by the average American.

Paul Whiteman Does Something New by Playing Four Numbers on One Record

By WALTER D. HICKMAN > 1 OUR numbers on one phonot* I graph record. I*■ I Real music at that played by Paul 'Whiteman and his orchestra. This new idea, it is new to me, is introduced by Whiteman on his new Victor release for June. When you buy Whiteman's latest you will find four new fox trots, two on each side of a twelve-inch record. If you use your phonograph for dancing, you .can dance to two new tunes without changing a record. On one side of the record is "Where Is That Old Girl of Mine?" and "Driftwood." “When you turn the record over you will hear "Mandalay,” done as fox trot, and ‘Step Henrietta.” You know by this time that this man Whiteman puts something into his music that the others do not. You do not have to be inspired to dance to music furnished by Whiteman’s Orchestra and his new record is no exception to the rule. The Whiteman touch is felt in each of these four fox trots. There is a reason for Whiteman being so popular and this new Victor record is just another reason. Whiteman in all of his selections places that haunting something in them which lifts them out of the noisy, jazzy atmosphere into a realm of their own. I think this four piece record is a splendid thing. It gives you four tunes for the price of two. the berries, as the flapper would say. Recalling an Artist I promised you last week that I would get hold of the latest release of the late Enrico Caruso. I have kept my promise. Caruso while living . was the world’s greatest tenor. Although he sleeps among the great dead, his voice lives on and on. One does not have to rely upon a memory, but by obtaining a Victor record you

again can hear the marvelous voice of this great artist. For their June releases, the Victor people offer another unissued Caruso record. This record contains two Neapolitan songs, “Scordame” ("Forget Me”) and “Senza Nisciuno" (“Forsaken”). Again you hear the artistry of this Successful LEE DALEY One of the reasons for the successful way in which the performances of the Aborn Opera Company are put over at Keith's is due to the work of I.ee Daley, stage manager and chief comedian of the company. He is largely responsible fc-r the great success of “The O'Brien Girl” this week at Keith's.

Fundamentally, the standard Oil Company (Indiana) is a service organization. Directors, employes® and shareholders are moved by one ambition —to make this Company great in its ability to serve the community. It was the furtherance of this ambition which caused the Management to take steps to secure a wide distribution of shares in this .Company. To do this it was necessary to get the price per share down to a point where investors of moderate means would find the stock attractive. This was accomplished by distributing the working surplus among the shareholders, as a stock dividend, and reducing the par value from SIOO to $25. Today the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is owned by 46,010 shareholders — 12,135 of whom are employes; and 13,253 are women no single shareholder owns as much as 6% of the total stock and the price per share at this writing is $57.00. Among the larger shareholders are many educational and philanthropic institutions who depend upon the dividends derived from their holding in this Company to carry on certain phases of their work. , For example, we cite the Rockefeller Foundation and the General Educational Board whose activities extend to all parts of the- world, bettering the living conditions for millions, lessening the burdens of the afflicted, enlightening the youth, and expandirg the educational facilities of the wo and. The service rendered to society by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is of a broad and varied nature. Not only does it supply the thirty million people of ten Middle Western states witn petroleum produ:ts of superior quality in such a way as to have gained their confidence, respect and esteem, but the profits accruing to the shareholders from the operations of this Company are used in large part for the welfare of all the people and to make the world a better place in which to live.

What Attention to Give the Transmission Gears and Rear Axle ✓ v Among the last of the units on your car that require attention at the beginning of the touring season are the gears in the transmission case and rear axle. Fortunately these parts rarely give any trouble and require attention only about once every 2,000 or 3,000 miles, that is, if the gear box and rear axle casings are oil tight. If, these are leaking, then they will require attention much oftener. Generally at the beginning of the cold weather, the wise motorist drains off the heavy oil he has been using in these units during the summer and replaces it with a much lighter oil for the colder weather. If heavy oil is used in cold weather it becomes very stiff and thick and absorbs quite a large amount of power and at the same time makes gear changing a little difficult. For the summer you need to use a fairly heavy oil to cushion the gears, so that the first thing to do is to drain out the old oil from both gear case and rear axle, and replace it with the proper grade of lubricant for the summer.

•— —— —i First remove the drain plug you GEAR CASE LUBRICATION will find at the bottom of the gear Sot TrutD box and drain off all the old oil, /Z "'"raf then i-epla.ce the plug and pour in • Jp about a quart of kerosene. Take a good stiff brush and remove all N. the old oil from the face of the L gears, etc., then drain off. If you 7 have noticed any noise in the gear Jy / ®u / box. now is the time to find out o) L what is wrong. Carefully examine ] \ the teeth on the gear wheels to see „ ~m eruZ Z J / that none ar ‘ y broken or chipped. iPf ipT itm or ill / and at tlie SHUe time feel if there *4 fflj I I° ms nos j J \ is any play in the bearings of l 2 l LJ If \ either the main or the lay shaft. ~— ryt —\f/ K If the bearings of these shafts are M£K AMD ftUVf \ / worn badly, the lubricant will leak AMT* MorostAt OMCC X/4 out of the gear box and the gears If, however, all gear teeth and bushings are in good shape, then fill up with fresh oil. If possible, consult the instruction book you receive with your car to see what kind of oil to use and what height to keep it. in the gear box. This is usually up to about the level of the lay shaft. When the gears are revolving they throw up enough oil to lubricate the •gears and main shaft bearings. Do not. on any account fill the gear box to top with lubricant. It' is a good idea while you have the kerosene handy and are on the job to scrape off all the old, dirty, gummy grease from the sides of the gear box, then try all bolts to see that they are tight .and that there are r.o oil leaks. The rear axle gears require ' about the same attention as those KIAK AXLI in the gear Drain off all the LUBRICATION old oil and fill jip with fresh oil to the level of the top plug. Be very QtL UP 1 careful not to put too much oil in / \ to L£V£L Os \ / the back axle or you will have ’ £\ TH/S PLUG trouble with it working out along f / J y ' 1 " the axle shafts and so on to the 1/A \ /\ brakes and wheels. J-ufk Y/ /A Fully 50 per cent of all back axle If.' a UWt gear box replacements are caused by 'Z/C'J p the carelessness of the owner in let \ J PfA \f\ tipg the ’oil in these units get too \. T \ low or in using the wrong kind of I lubricant. If you use an oil that is PPf/M Osf r All 0/L too heavy, the gears tpack in it and TWC£ s£#s3A/ c when the car is going at any speed LYt. very little oil reaches the ben rings and gears. The result is that these bearings and gears are not properly I lubricated and run hot then wear commences and before you know where ! you are you have an expensive repair bill to pay. Consult the. service manager of the service station for the car you drive. He will be glad j to tell you the best grade of lubricant to use and how high to keep it in I the gear box and rear axle. Follow his advice and you will find that your | car will run quieter and better and replacements in these units will not i be required until the car has run at least 20,000 miles and perhaps even more.
