SPUR CAMPAIGN ON ILUTERACY Crusade Director Will Make Tour of West. By Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.—The campaign to wipe out illiteracy in the the United States will be given special impetus this week when Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, director of the National Illiteracy Crusade, leaves to assist in organization work in the West and Middle West. Mrs. Wilson, who was awarded a $6,000 prize as the woman who contributed most to American civilisation in 1924, because of her pioneer educational work in Kentucky, declared today if proper cooperation is extended the United States can be made 100 per cent literate before the 1930 decennial census. The last census disclosed more than 5,000,000 persons illiterate and that the United States ranked tenth for illiteracy among the civilized nations of the world. At that time the movement to stamp out illiterancy was in its infancy. The drive against illiteracy is being sponsored by the National Illiteracy Crusade, an organization formed at Washington in February, 1926, of which William Allen White, Kansas, is president. The National Education Association, the American Legion, the General Federation of Women’s Clubs and the National Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers Association, are all cooperating. The initial meeting of the drive in the Middle West will be held at Marshaltown, lowa, Oct. 31. DIANA is on the way here. LADY EXPERT COMING TO HELP RUPTURED WOMEN Demonstrates Rice Method FREE TO ALL Mrs. B. F. Finnegan representing William S. Rice, Adams, N. Y., inventor of the famous Rice (NonSurgical) Method for Rupture will be at New Colonial Hotel, Indianapolis, Ind., Friday and Saturday, Oct. 28 and 29, to demonstrate a new special corset attachment that holds any rupture no matter how large. Even if the abdomen is very fleshy, it holds any rupture with ease, comfort and security.

Every woman who has been compelled t o wear an ordinary truss or abdominal support knows the gouging, cutting and chafing caused by narrow bands. The weight of the abdomen or pressure necessary in holding the rupture must be carried by the band r. rou n and the back, and the pressure is sometimes very great, causing untold suffer-

back distributes the pressure so as to do away with all cutting and chafing. There are thousands of women who are in perfect misery because they can not find anything that will hold their rupture and the abdomen at the same time. The appliances usually worn are hot, bulky, chafing and irritating. But this wonderful Combined Corset Back Support is light, flexible, durable and cool and fits the figure like a glove. It gives you a sense of absolute comfort and protection while at the same time greatly improving abdominal outlines. i Trusses in common use are not adapted to women and often do great harm. Women therefore, suffer more and are in greater danger from rupture than men, and all women, who have ruptures or who wear an abdominal support of any kind should not fail to call and see this wonderful Combined Corset Back Support. No description or illustration can fully convey the remarkable utility of this splendid Support. It must be seen; it must be put on to convince any woman that it was designed for her. Mrs. Finnegan takes a large woman just as she is, all out of shape and unsightly and by this remarkable Corset Support gives her a natural, neat, trim figure. She will also give full instructions on how to handle and care for any rupture, large or small. She will show how to hold any kind of rupture from the simple groin and femoral to the large and difficult Navel and after Operation Ruptures, without chafing or squeezing, also how to wear the corset correctly. Don’t let this great opportunity get away from you. Don’t continue to suffer the burden of rupture and truss wearing when it is so entirely unnecessary. Your call on this Lady Expert is sure to prove one of the best things you ever did. She will be there only two- days, then your opportunity will be gone. The fitting and demonstration are free. It don’t cost you a penny to learn all about the Rice Method and the wonderful opportunity for help it offers in your case. After demonstration you can purchase the outfit required if you wish. Call any time from 9 to 12 a. m., 2 to 5 p. m., or 7 to 9 evenings. Just aak at the hotel desk for the Rice Representative and she will do the rest. . W. S. RICE, Inc. Adams, N. Y. —Advertisement.

AUTO INDUSTRY MOVES AGAINST FIRE MENACE Use of Lacquer Finishes Applied by Spray Increases Danger. The automotive industry is using controlled air and ventilating equipment on a scale never before attempted, to prevent serious fires and explosions in their paint shops and body plants, according to production engineers of the leading companies. Wide-spread use of pyroxylin enamels has greatly increased danger of fires and explosions in automobile and furniture plants where finish is applied. These enamels or lacquers are inflammable and usually applied in the form of a spray, adding to the fire risk a further danger of explosion, due to the vapor forming an explosive mixture when air is not supplied in sufficient volume. General Motors, Willys-Overland, Ford, Hudson-Essex, Studebaker, Franklin and others, all of which have joined a movement to reduce the danger of carbon monoxide by urging their dealers to use exhaust fans and other ventilating apparatus in their service stations, also have checked up on the extent of their ventilation for the positive removal of paint fumes and gases, these engineers stated. Asia Refits U. S. Cars Asiatic royalty is refitting American cars to fit its own tastes. One, for instance, refitted for the Nawab of Bahawalpur, has a boudoir limousine body. The seats are covered with tapestried designs and the roof is lined with blue silk.

From the days of axle grease for wagons down to the present era of anti-knock gasoline for high compression motors and aviation gasoline and oil, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has taken the lead. This Company has endeavored at all times to anticipate mechanical progress. By so doing, it has been able to render signal assistance in the development of mechanical ideas. By introducing Red Crown Ethyl Gasoline to the motorist of the Middle West, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) did a major service in hurrying forward the development of the high compression motor, which gives increased gasoline mileage—a direct benefit to the 30 million people of the Middle West. Long ago this Company anticipated the present rapid development of aviation, and when the need arose for special gasoline and fuel, it was ready with proved products—tried and found good. The mechanical progress which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has aided and anticipated is only important as it touches human life, for that is the ultimate universal goal of which this Company is always conscious. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) believes that the success of an industrial institution is determined by its contribution to the public welfare. It owes its own successful growth to an active creed of service. In three distinct ways this Company has proved i. elf an asset to the public welfare. It has provided petroleum products of sustained high quality for the people of the Middle West —when and where needed —at minimum prices. It has employed to the fullest possible advantage the capital of the more than 50,000 stockholders. It has utilized the time and ability of 29,000 employes for the good of all concerned. Scientific elimination of waste, able management, and the efficiency made possible by quantity production, enable the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to reward satisfactorily stockholders and employes (thousands of whom are also stockholders) for their investments of money and labor. Within the organization this Compa— r has contributed very directly to human welfare, instituting the Death Benefits Plan, Annuity Plan, Industrial Relations Plan and Stock Purchasing Plans for the benefit of its employes. Thus in ways direct and indirect the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has promoted the public welfare and the nation’s progress. While it takes a pardonable pride in the progress of the past, this Company is not satisfied. It is always stretching forward —moving on to new achievements. Daily it strives for improvement—seeking to bring life “nearer to the heart’s desire’’ for its vast army of workers, seeking to serve the 30 million people of the Middle West with wider vision and greater skill.
