DAWSON FfGHTS $1,200 GLADDEN SALARY BOOST Battle Looms When Trustee Declares Commissioner Has No Say. Opposing Sides in the fight over the $1 200 salary boost for Fred T. Gladden, superintendent of Marion county schools, were standing by their guns today. While Gladden, Lee Swails, retiring county school chief, and several of the township trustees were declaring that the pay raise had been granted. Charles M. Dawson. Washington township trustee and secretary of the board, was still firm in his contention that the salary increase was hanging fire A new name entered the controversy today when W. H. Cooper. Warren township trustee, flatly declared that in his opinion the pay increase of the county school head from $3,600 to $4,800 had been granted by the eight trustees attending the meeting Monday. “Increase Will Stand” "The county commissioners,” Cooper said, “have nothing to do with the question of the salary of the county school superintendent and I’m convinced that the increase of Gladden's salary has been granted and will stand. “At the meeting last Monday j there were only two votes against j increasing Gladden's salary and as j far as I know the rest favored the j motion. Dawson appealed the carried motion but his appeal carried but little weight inasmuch as there were only two votes cast for him.” Asked flatly if he would state yes or no on the question. Cooper replied in the affirmative and said, “I think that the meeting next Monday morning will prove that I am right.” Dawson Denies Raise Meanwhile, Dawson was vehement in his denial that any raise had been made in Gladden’s salary, and hinted that If the increase is given approval of the trustees in their next meeting, it would come only after he had been ousted as secretary of the board. “If Mr. Gladden's salary has been , raised why is there another meeting scheduled next Monday,” Dawson asked when questioned. “At the previous meeting of the trustees there were only three votes for Mr. Gladden and two against. I am certain that a majority of the board is required before the increase can be called official. "As secretary I naturally recorded the vote taken at the meeting, but I have not certified it as correct and will not do so until after the meeting next Monday.” Question Is Open Just how much power the county j commissioners have in the question remains to be shown. Opposing sides tn the argument are just as widely separated on this phase of the salary tangle as they are on the pay boost. Cooper declared that the commissioners have nothing whatever to do with the motions passed by the trustees, while Dawson thought they did. The county council, of course.’j must pass on all appropriations and so will become involved in the tangle.

FLAPPER AGE CEASES AT 24, SURVEYSHOWS Feminine Marriage Chances Start Fading on 25th Birthday. BY SAM LOVE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—ls flappers had matrimonial alarm clocks, the gongs would go off with a terrific clanging on their twenty-fourth birthday and warn them that in only one more year each would cease to be a flapper and become a potential old maid. The quarter-century mark, although considered just a good, lively age in modem feminine circles, was set down in cold figures today by statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company as the point at which feminine marriage chances cease to become brighter. Up until she is 25, the survey revealed, a girl has everything in her favor insofar as matrimony is concerned. All she has to do is sail before the wind. But after that fateful age she must tack if she wants to make port. By the time she is 30 the odds are two to one against getting her man within the next ten years. And after that, of course, her prospects fade until any matrimonial bookmaker will bet his roll against a pair of whoopee socks that she ends up in social welfare work. The survey proves conclusively that marriage results from youth on the part of the woman and income on the part of the man. A man at 25 is just beginning to flower as a matrimonial prospect. His chances of finding a woman

who will take him are less than even—4l.l per cent—up to that i point. But after 25 and until he is 35, he only has one chance in three of escaping marriage. He is a money-maker then and a fair target for all females over 15. A person of analytical and skeptical mind could easily conclude from glancing over the life insurance company’s tables that either brains have nothing to do with a woman’s getting married or else that all brainy women marry early, to the confusion of statisticians, and that the unmarried woman of over 25 is a case of arrested mental development. The life insurance company makes no such conclusions, however. It merely offers the facts and allows the reader to interpret them according to fancy. But some of the facts are rather grim for the flapper of 24, Who can not make up her mind, as witness the following passage: “In other words, from the age of 20 to 30, for every five years that a young woman postpones marriage she reduces her chances of surviving and being married within the next ten years by one-sixth, thus: For young women twenty years old the chance of surviving and marrying within ten years is two in three; for young women 25 years old, the chances of marrying within ten years is one in two, and for young women 30 years old, the chance of marrying within ten years is one in three.” CHILDREN FLEE POLICE Boy aud Sister Wander Around Four Days.

Between the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and the people of the Middle West, a friendship exists that has grown with the years —that has stood the test of time. In the early days this Company was a friend in need to the pioneer. Its dark green tank wagons drawn by horses delivered kerosene faithfully to all parts "of a newly developed land. In the earlv davs of motoring this Company blazed the trail for the motorist, establishing Service Stations that it might deliver gasoline to him wherever needed along his route. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has grown up with the Middle West and today it is an institution in which the people take a personal pride. This is significant, for in any friendship existing between the public and a business organization a definite faithfulness of performance is implied. The public is not quick to bestow its approval on a great corporation. A single purchase of a single product, if it prove unworthy, will lose the customer’s good will for the organization producing it. To win the approval of the public, a corporation must prove itself worthy by unwavering faithfulness of performance, by unvarying dependability. The friendship of the public for a business organization must be earned and re-earned. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has earned and re-earned at contact the good will of its customers. Over a long period of years, by millions of satisfactory sales and services, it has been building its reputation for unfailing dependability. Everywhere in ten states today it is known and depended upon as an old and proved friend. “There’s a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) Service Station!” the motorist, traveling an unknown road exclaims with pleased recognition. He may be hundreds of miles from home in a strange territory, but if it s a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) Service Station, it is a familiar friend. Here he can buy the same dependable petroleum products for his car that he buys at home. Dependable fuels. Red Crown Gasoline, for twenty years the favorite of motorists in the Middle West. Red Crown Ethyl, the new fuel for brilliant high compression performance, and Solite, a light gasoline that gives both power and spectacular response. Dependable motor oils in grades to meet the requirements of every make of car. Iso-\ is, the sensational new-type motor oil that will not thin out. Polarine, best of the old-type motor oils, economical and dependable always. Here the motorist will receive the same courteous and skilled attention that he has come to expect at a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) Service Station. Here he will find the same friendly spirit of helpfulness—the spirit of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as definitely recognizable as its products.
