They do not want to do housework. The English house servant is overworked and underpaid, and the girl who went to war, like the man who fought In France, has been given a new conception of her future. The women who have gone back to

domestic work, after three or four

years in a munition factory or a war service organisation, are not contented, and are looking out for some

other occupation where they can be more independent, and have a future In their work. Many Without Job. - The army of girls who stepped into

Abe's Christmas Book In His Best Style

It would be a drcarf Christmas season In Indiana without the appearance of the annual message of Abo Martin, the sage of Brown county, and this Christmas H oomes forth in very much Its accustomed form but with the title, "Home-Cured Philosophy." Kin Hubbard, creator of Abo Mart tin. keeps apace of the times in the style of his wit. humor and Quaint philosophy, but this year ho has done even better by showing to an eager

reading public that everything one

desires to have in these turbulent times, does not of necessity cost mora.

TO the motorist whose car goes purring along the road, there is a feeling of security and satisfaction as he senses the smooth, even flow of power, under completo control. The quiet, efficient engine under the hood, doing its full duty every minute, symbolizes the necessity for Continuity of Service. The titanic pumps which supply the city with water, the elevators in a tall building, the sewing machine in the home give satisfaction only when they can render a Continuity of Service. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has perfected a Continuity of Service in the manufacture, distribution, and sale of petroleum products. Its large refineries, where the wants of the Nation are being anticipated years in advanceits vast storage tanks, where large quantities of oil are held against a possible urgent de

mand, its comprehensive system of distribution, whereby the wayside tank and pump

assure an unbroken supply of fuel to the transcontinental motorist all these stand for that Continuity of Service, without which the high-geared life of the present day would be impossible. This Continuity of Service which sends the wheels of progress purring along is but a phase of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) effort to discharge satisfactorily and completely its obligation as a public servant.
