FILLING STATION THROAT CUTTING DOOM JS SEEN Day of One at 'Every Hot Dog Stand’ Near End, Oil Jobbers Told. By UnitrA Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 29. The day of a filling station on every corner and one at every hot dog and barbecue stand along the highways is near an end. This is the prediction of R. J. McDowell, Detroit oil man. “The oil industry right now is in the same period of wasteful competition as were the railroads in the days of Hill and Harriman,” McDowell, here for the meeting of the Big Four Oil States Independent Jobbers Association, said in an interview with the United Press. McDowell urged the jobbers to unite in support of a program designed to reduce the number of retailers. Retailers are realizing it is to the interest of none of them to set filling stations on every street corner, McDowell said. Soon, the oil nu.:-.said, there will be fewer and bette retail outlets—and these will be manned by highly* paid attendants, skilled in the arts of salesmanship. But, according to McDowell, the consumer probably won’t get his gasoline any more cheaply. “Gasoline is cheap enough,” he said “Retailers aren’t making any money now.” Refiners already have taken steps to stop mushroom spread of oil retailing establishments, McDowell emphasized,, They now are demanding that station owners buy the equipment. Under these circumstances, he | added, no longer will every hot dog j and barbeclue stand in the nation j sell gasoline as a sideline. Filling stations in the last ten years have been on a steady increase, he said. In 1921 there were 200 consumers to the station. Today the number is far below that—sixty-six for every regular filling station, to say nothing of roadside stands which sell gasoline to supplement other income. There are three filling station for every mile of paved highway in the nation, he said. $5,000,000 READY FOR TEMPORARY P. 0. JOBS Department Prepares to Hire Extra Employes for Christmas. By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.—More than $5,000,000 has been made available for employment of temporary postoffice help during the Christmas season, Postmaster General Brown said today in announcing that the fund would be administered to provide aid for as great a number of unemployed as possible. Brown said a survey had shown that 171,051 temporary clerks, carriers and laborers will be employed, most of them working for ten days, starting Dec. 13. Temporary employes will begin work a few days earlier than that in New York, because of the large quantities of foreign mail to be handled. The temporary workers will receive 65 cents an hour each for a ten-hour day. The department has $5,132,123 for this purpose.

WORLD CREDIT BANK PROPOSAL UP TO FRANCE More to Save Investments in Germany Meeting Some Disfavor. BY RICHARD D. M’MILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Oct. 29.—Plans for creation of an international credit bank to transform the immense total of short-term credits invested in Germany into credits of from three to five years were revealed here today. The United Press learned that Emile Francqui, Belgian financier who discussed the plan with Prudent Hoover at Washington, had accepted an invitation to proceed to Paris from the United States and confer on the proposal with Premier Pierre Laval and Finance Minister Pierre Etienne Flandin. It was understood that Mr. Hoover, Eugene Meyer, governor of the federal reserve board, and George L. Harrison, governor of the federal reserve bank of New York, approved the plan and that the fate of the scheme depended upon French financial support, which was not entirely assured. The international credit bank would co-operate with the Bank for International Settlement at Basle and, through processes of discount, would transform short term credits in Germany estimated variously at between $1,000,000,000 and $2,000,000,000. The bank would centralize control of large international credit operations. Francqui was expected to have To “Point-Up” Appetite Jttst Stimulate Digestion Whenever the end of the day finds you out of sorts; food doesn’t tempt you and won’t digest; breath is bad; tongue coated, just chew a candy tablet before bedtime.

difficulty In persuading France to agree to the plan, although Laval was said to have promised to submit the project to the cabinet after discussing it with the Belgian financier. French participation would depend upon the nature of the guarantees in the credit operations. A section of the cabinet was said to J)e opposed to the plan, maintaining that it ttfould be better to lose the $3,000,000,000 francs invested in short term German credits than to risk another 5,000.000 - 000 francs.

A THREE OATS’ COUGH IS yOHR DANGER SIGNAL Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can Mop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosoto that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Os all known drugs, creosote is recog. nized by high medical authorities as on* of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other form* of throat troubles. Creomulsion in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according I* directions. Ask your druggist (adv.) —Advertisement.
