FLAMINGO HOP TO COAST MAY ? BE ABANDONED Friday Afternoon Deadline for Arrival of Long Awaited Barographs. Unless barographs are received by Friday afternoon from the National Aeronautics Association the coast-to-coast feature of the proposed endurance flight of the Indianapolis Flamingo will be abandoned and a straight endurance fight over the city substituted. This announcement was made today by Major H. LeR. Muller, flight manager, after a conference with the endurance plane pilots, Lieutenants Walter R. Peck and Lawrence Genaro. The barographs, which record altitude of the plane at all times during its flight, are necessary to make the flight official, if the plane flies out of sight of the official observers. All but a few minor details of the flight have been concluded and Peck and Genaro are ready to start from Hoosier Friday, it was said. The west coast feature of the flight would reduce chances of set-

Muller explained that there is a bare possibility that if barographs are received after the flight is started, they may be lowered to the endurance plane from another airplane and a trip to New York and other cities made. He announced several additions to his staff, including pakley Marquette, aide in charge of photography; A. P. Julian, supply aide; Bob Shank, airport manager, and W. A.

‘ART MODERNE’ FURNITURE IS MINUSCOMFORT Angle Chairs, Beds Waning in Popularity Soon After Launching. BY FREDERICK G. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. s.—“ Art Moderne”—the label manufacturers have applied to furniture which stresses lines and angles, principally angles —is very difficult to sit upon. And is almost impossible to sleep upon. Thus it is waning in popularity just a few months after its vogue was started by the “smart” magazines and the “exclusive” stores, William H. Wilson, vice-president of the American Furniture Mart, told the United Press today. When Wilson made this pro-

The time has come when we must speak plainly. The Public is being persistently told that we can not sell 100% Pure Pennsylvania Oil at our advertised prices. If these were isolated cases we would let it pass. But we have too much at stake here to submit tamely to widespread propaganda. And so this is our answer. The State and Federal laws both have sharp teeth, and carry severe penalties against swindling. We are advertising 100% Pure Pennsylvania Oil, and selling it at the rate of 100,000 gallons per year. Interested people are constantly buying our oil and submitting it to extreme laboratory tests. They do no tell you what they

nouncement he stood in a /welter of chairs with crooked legs, of chairs that were all legs, of davenports upon which even a cat would have difficulty finding a comfortable place, of beds with splashes of riotous color upon their hefed-pieces, and of rugs with strange whirling lines of color running through them. All were upon exhibit at the furniture mart. Wilson sat down upon an "Art Moderne” chair, a violent blue one with orange daubs upon its crinkled back and upon its octagonal seat, to continue with his interview. “Don’t mistake ‘art moderne’ for modern furniture,” he said, rising and walking away from the conglomeration of lines and angles upon which he had seated himself. “The past few months have seen the home brighten up with the color that had been lacking. Art moderne has brought about that pleasing change if nothing else and much of the modernistic ideas will remain.” He averted his eyes from a bed, the black and silver stripes of which seemed almost to make it

Modern furniture will blend harmoniously with almost any period style. That is why the modern will remain and the modernistic will lose its popularity.” Crickets have ears on the front part of their legs.

We buy our oil from a Refiner who manufactures probably the best known and most widely used brand of 100% Pure Pennsylvania Oil in the world. Their financial responsibility runs into the millions. Both of our stations have direct rail switches where we receive tank cars of Gas, Oil, Naphtha, Coal and Alcohol. We sell these products direct to the user. This saves the middle profit for our customers. It is a considerable saving.
