MR. FIXIT Walk Lower Than Lawns Fails to Drain — Asks Remedy,

Mr. Fixit is the Times representative at the city hall and will be grlad to present your problems to the proper city officials. Write him in care of The Times. Mr. Fixit has received numerous complaints in the last two weeks about the condition of streets and sidewalks. Dear Mr. Fixit: The stretch of sidewalk along E. Sixteenth St. (S. Brookside Pkwy.), between Olney and Gale Sts., is in a deplorable condition these slushy days, as it always is and has been for years whenever it is rainy or snow and ice are melting. The walk being lower than adjoining lawns and also lower than the public lawn between it and the street (a so-called boulevard) is covered with water which does not drain off and it is difficult to walk over until the prater has time to evaporate. Surely something can be done to remedy this, inasmuch as this portion of sidewalk passes in front of the home of a brother of Mayor Duvall. SOUTH-BROOKSIDER. This complaint was turned over to Street Commissioner George Woodward and he said that he would do all that he could to better the situation. He stated that it would be almost impossible to permanently repair the place without putting down anew concrete walk. Another letter received by Mr. Fixit asked that an alley be cindered. Dear Mr. Fixit: Please see wliat you can do toward getting some cinders in the alley in the rear of 1616 and 1618 Dawson St. There is a regular run back of the garage. M. H. K. Street Commissioner Woodward said he would take charge of this situation as soon as it was possible. One person who Mr. Fixit promised would get his garbage hauled away for a Christmas present wrote him today and said that the garbage is still there. This matter was turned over to the sanitation department at once with the request that it be taken care of immediately. Dear Sir: Just a few days before. Christmas I wrote you a letter asking you to use your influence in having our garbage collected. Your reply was “Your Christmas present will be prompt collections.” I am sorry to state that to date our garbage can reposes in exactly the same spot and has just the same garbage in it as there was before. And just to make matters a little worse o',r tin cans have not bern collected for two weeks. Please he kind enough to give this your attention and I will be more Lhan grateful to you. A TWO TIMER. The sanitation department has promised that this matter would be attended to at once. Mr. Fixit cannot understand why it was not atten ted to before. An enterprising resident of Worcester, Mass., has equipped his radio set with eight loud speakers which he has installed in the homes of eigiv. neighbors. He charges them each $2 a month for the service.

Dull Headache All Day How often we hear this remark made so lightly.

“Science is the soul and the prosperity of nations and the living source of all progress,” said Pasteur. Science has been the living source of the progress of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This Company has always represented a partnership of practical industry and research. Research laboratories where scientific investigations may be carried on with the greatest facility are an important part of the equipment of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Os all the tremendous labor undertaken by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), the most important to the motorist, but perhaps the least known to him, is the research work of the Company. The labor of drilling a well or building a service station is apparent to the most casual observer, whereas the labor of developing processes for producing gasoline by cracking, for example, is inconceivable to the average mart. The development of commercially successful processes for producing gasoline by cracking is one of the achievements of the research laboratories of the Standard Oil Company'(lndiana), the results of which are appreciated easily. Over three billion additional gallons of gasoline are produced annually by this method. Without it, there would not be enough gasoline today—and prices would be prohibitive. Every man, woman and child in the entire country has been benefited by this research work of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Although the benefits of producing gasoline by cracking processes are far-reaching and widespread, the average motorist is ignorant of the work behind it. He knows nothing of the days and nights of patient study, the disheartening difficulties to be faced, the immense amount of effort, that are part of the history of this as of every other scientific discovery. Like most precious things, information is found in small quantities and the finding involves a maximum amount of slow, painstaking work. Each product of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has a long history of such work behind it. Scientific work goes on every day in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), where men are correlating theory and practice, and out of actual experience developing new knowledge, founded on facts already known. The work of these scientists is a small but most important part of a great whole. It is the “living source” of the progress of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) —progress in applying all the knowledge of the hour to supplying the petroleum needs of the people of the Middle West —progress in serving them faithfully and well. % Standard Oil Company ( Indiana ) General Office: Standard Oil Building 910 So.
