CAKES, INDIANA, MONDAY, MAY 19, 1924.
1200 vs. 12 yyBBQarmm* ■gyasas mmmta rpirE average individual, engrossed with I his own aifairs, may not appreciate that the number of automobiles increased 1200# between 1913 and 1923, while the average price o'f gasoline for the entire year 1923, increased but 12# over the year 1913. While the production of crude oil during the r er o 1 increased300#, the output of gasoline increased 000#-a noteworthy achievement. Without the processes originated and developed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), this increased yield of gasoline could not have been obtained. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has led in the adoption of improved methods in all departments of refining and marketing petroleum. This Company has fostered the adoption of every new method which could influence lower production and distribution costs. The benefits resulting from these improvements have been reflected to the consumer in better service and better products. The motorist driving through the Middle West is able to buy gasoline made by this Company at convenient intervals on city streets and country roads. He may encounter all sorts of food and lodging—all kinds of roads-but he will find Standard Oil Company (Indiana) gasoline everywhere and everywhere the same, and the price will be low. To maintain such a satisfactory condition of affairs, the Management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has dealt wisely with labor—employed capital sensibly—and used invention intelligently. In this wav it has been able to assume a generous snare of the great burden of meeting a 1200# increased demand for gasoline while charging only 12# more for its products in 1923 than in 1913.

! LONDON, May 19—(United Press) Lie biggest ship-salvaging job ever known is being attempted off NorthI cast Scotland—the raising of the inII mod German Fleet, scuttled at ; Scape. Flow by Admiral Van Reuler ^ In June, 1919. ! The hulks of sixty-eight war craft , —once prides of the German fleet— , have been rusting for more than four j year, a tangle of junk, at the bottom [ of Scapa Flow. They were sunk j simultaneously by their caretakers. They went down, dramatically, in a 1 bunch, and they are jumbled together in 20 fathoms of water—and an English marine engineering concern has I tackled the herculean job of getting ; them up. j Unprecedented engineering devices i ( will be used in this job—a scheme of j plugging up all holes in the biggest sunken battleships, pumping out the | water, blowing them full of air, like a j balloon, and thus eeusing them to i
float.
Eight or nine year* will be required to clear Scapa Flow completely of I the self-sunk German fleet. Within a year, however, the pivotal part of the job will probably be finished— that is the “raising by inflation’’ of the two largest ships. These, when brought to the surface, will be used as floating docks, upon which to place huge derricks to haul up the smaller
ships.
And then the junk that was von Reutler’s fleet—a fleet that committed suicide after surrender—will be sold for scrap and melting up and made into machinery and possibly i some of the metal may find its way into ploughshares—^and possibly Into the fittings of newer British fight-
ing-craft.
The biggest ships of the fleet are the Hindenburg and the Seidlitz, 27,000 ton battle cruisers, famous during the war. There were seventyfour vessels interned at Scapa Flow, including thirteen cruisers and fifty
destroyers.
The DePauw baseball team has taken on new life after defeating Wabash at Greencastle last Friday, and they are out for revenge when the Butler nine plays a return game
here on Wednesday.
Butler defeated the Tigers j n the
first game of the series by the close FOR SALE—Majestic score of 4 to 3. The Tigers are go- east Hanna street,
ing better than at any time during the season. Staton, the Butler ace, will be on the mound for the Bull Dogs, and in all probability Stillwagon will do the hurling for Do-
Pauw.
DePauw has four more frames remaining on their schedule. Butler, Indiana, State Normal, and Charles. | ton Normal. '

RALSTON TO BE NOMINATED INDIANAPOLIS, May 19.—Senator Samuel M. Ralston will be nominated for the presidency by the Democratic party, Senator James E. Watson, here for the Repulican state convention, predicted today. ‘‘I am certain that Ralston will be nominated,” Watson said. “Three fourths of the Senators in Washington are of the same opinion. Watson declared the Ku Klux Klan will not be a political issue in the Indiana campaign, and he said the

sinking in twenty fathoms of water. The salvaging firm has built a huge floating dock about 400 feet long for ! use in the first stage of the opera-! tions. This will be moored above the Scuttled fleet and divers .using it as a base, will concentrate on the first 1 job of locating every one of the many | holes the Germans bored in the ships ■ in order to sink them. The Hindenburg is supposed to be pretty much of a sieve now and months will be required to spot all the openings. Finally all will be plugged except two— one to pump air in and the other to pump water out. Then—if all the ! holes have been found—the Hindenburg will balloon herself up to the surface and be fitted out as another floating dock from which to pry up
the other ships.
The Seydlitz flopped over as she sank, and is lying sideways on the bottom, instead of “standing up,” as is the Hinderburg. Accordingly, a different technique is necessary for the Seydlitz. If she was “ballooned” the engineers figure she would turn turtle on her way to the top, and reach the surface bottom side up. So, | an “underwater tank” has been built |
for use on the Seydlitz. It will be I t » paTTT y
lowered to the wreck, workingmen I will go down into the tank through ' great pipe lines. Then compressed air will be formed into the tank and as the pressure becomes sufficiently strong, the bottom of the tank, which works on hinges, will be opened. The air pressure will be sufficient to keep the water out—in other words, the “bottom” of the tank will simply be water, and the workmen, who will be protected by extraordinarilly strong helmets and diving suits, can go about
their job conveniently.
Among the numerous ingenious creations of special machinery and implements for this job is an ‘underwater” oxygen torch, which will melt any metal, even steel-armour, under water. The flame is protected under terrific air pressure—air pressure so strong that it forces away the water from around the nozzle of the torch, and from around the flame, leaving a clear space for the play of the jet of fire which cuts,, or rather bums, its
way through the metal.
The contractors have already spent several hundred thousand dollars in buying special machinery and making preparations for commencing work. They will spend twice as much more before the Himlenbttrg is floated, and if the job ended there, they would lose a lot of money. But they figure
