The reduction came in the face of light receipts estimated at 5,000 and hold-overs from Tuesday numbering 474, and was due to lower competitive markets.

JUNGLE MOTOR TOUR IS AIM OF EXPLORER Youth, 19, Seeks Tribe of Branded Savages in Ecuador. Bu United Press MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 19. —The world's youngset explorer has left here to search for branded savages of Central and South America whom he believes to be remnants of an ancient Asiatic Aryan race which migrated to this hemisphere in the dim past. J. J. Bliss, 19, accompanied by a University of Minnesota student, will attempt to motor the entire distance. If he succeeds in reaching Ecuador by automobile it will be the first time the journey has been made overland. Bliss is taking dynamite with him to blast a way when the jungle becomes impentetraable by ordinary methods. The Bliss theory of the origin of the tribes he is seeking, several members of whom he saw on a previous trip but whose villages he was unable to locate, is based partly on the ancient sign of the Swastika he noted branded on their faces. Faces Branded It was this which led him t<> surmise they were the last remnants of Aryan tribes supreme in Asia in prehistoric times. The one tribe in Ecuador has the sign branded on the faces of its members. The central American tribe uses the same sign on its pottery. Bliss plans to bring back several members of the “lost race” if he ie successful in discovering their villages. On a previous trip he encountered a number of the branded savages but was unable to, trace them to their homes. The region inhabited by the central American tribe has been visited

but once by white men, he says. According to an ancient legend a ship once penetrated an unexplored river between Nicaragua and Honduras but the members of the expedition were killed. Father Scoffs Despite the young explorer’s earnestness his father considers the journey a "wild goose chase.” “I know nothing of the lost tribes, but I think the bey is looking for a needle In a haystock,” said the elder Bliss after bidding his son good-bye.

“Civilization moves on wheels/’ says George Otis Smith, Director of United States Geological Survey, in an article dwelling on the relation of petroleum to society. The accuracy of Mr. Smith’s conclusion is illustrated by the published statement that 88 million Americans enjoy the use of automobiles. During 12 months ending December 31, 1924, the number of registered motor vehicles in the United States increased by 2,427,758. The constant and rapid increase in the use of automobiles has created a demand for gasoline which could not be supplied under the old refining practices, even with our magnificent national production of crude oil. This problem would have been serious indeed had not the petroleum industry taken giant strides in increasing the yield of gasoline from a given amount of crude oil. In this important work the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has taken a leading part; in fact, this Company developed the first commercially successful cracking process to obtain a greater percentage of gasoline from crude oil. Today cracking processes are used quite generally throughout the industry. The tangible result of this intensive and constructive work on the part of the' Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is reflected in published figures, revealing a 50#> increase from 1918 to 1924 in the amount of gasoline recovered from a given amount of crude petroleum. The intangible, but none the less direct, benefit of this effort of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana),- is the present low price of gasoline. Except for the advanced work of this Company, motorists would be paying a much higher price for the gasoline they use. Os this achievement the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is justly proud. This is but one of the many phases of the broad and comprehensive service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) which reflects its benefits in so obvious a way as to have earned for the Company the confidence, respect and esteem of thirty million people in ten Middle Western states.

BLONDES FOUND MOST VIGOROUS BY SCIENTIST Race Is Getting Darker and _ Weaker, He Declares in Warning. Bu United Ptess LONDON, Aug. 19.—England has discovered with surprise that the six young Englishwomen who swept all before them in the international sports contest at Brussels are pro- / nounced blondes. Is this, it is being asked, merely a coincidence or does it mean that the most successful women athletes are fair-haired? Scientific authorities say that, so far as the Anglo-Saxon type is con-‘ cerned, the victorious woman athlete is overwhelmingly the blonde rather than the brunette. “Those six young Englishwomen,” says Prof. YV. Pyecraft, director of the anthropological section of the British Natural History Museum, “are the survivors of the active, vigorous, native Nordic stock of the British Isles. “They ought to be good athletes, for their forefathers came from the most vigorous race, both mentally and physically, known to history. “They lived outdoor lives; they were raiders and hunters, and their decendants ought naturally to excel in outdoor sports of every sort. “But i they are dying out through intermarriage with brunettes and through living in crowded cities under artificial conditions. Some authorities think that, within two generations, the United States will contain no blondes, except a few immigrants. That means that the United States, like England, will grow indifferent to ‘outdoor sports, preferring the pastimes of the darkhaired races—dancing, gaiety and nijfht-life.”
