of fact, the half is not known. Much has been withheld by Commissioner Smith concerning the operations or the Standard. because of suits which the government has pending against the corporation. In the trial of those actions, the facts will be developed and they will show the enormous ex- tent to which the Standard hos gone in milking" the American people.
 Four additional reports are to be made public by Commissioner Smith as to the operations of the Standard, dealing with the work of the com pany in the foreign field, with dis elimination against the Amefican
 market, with the production and sale of oil in the mid continent field and with the production of oil in Cali fornia. All of these reports will deal with the Standards nnjusri- fable operations and will expiain just how the company has maintained its control of the American market.
 It is the purpose of the govern ment to keep after the Standard un- til the monopoly which2it has enjoy ed for a third of century is dis solved and until independent pro- ducers of oil stand on a footing sQuare-toed with the Standard. Whether any of the Standard officials can be brought to book in criminal way is yet question, but if any of them can be found guilty 1t is a certainty that they will have to pay the penalty of their guilt by q term in prison. There will be no let-up in the governments campaign against the Standard, for tho time has come, in the opinion of govern ment officials. when the giant monop- oily must be made to understand that it cannot violate the law with inn punity.

1t is representative exhibition. In It is ex-
emplifed every idea of consequence which the
motor industry has developed. 1t pictures
oompositely tho whole accomplishment of ten
years OF arduous effort in the revolution of road
travel and traffic. It shows the trend of young
industry already sturdy enough and important
enough to have its own ways and to influence the
ways OF people.
II shows the point to which the French and
other European manufacturers who led at the
start have brought their cars. It shows how the
American manufacturer has worked tooth and
nail TO attain precedence. 1t shows how the
public has accepted the motor as a typical
vehicle and how the motor has been adapt
ed to conventional vehicle
1t shows how the element of sport, which has
been inwrought in the automobile industry
