Pawnee Rock, the historic bluff on
the Santa Fee trail at the edge of the

time much larger than it is now.
There were many names, now his

good many of these were cut away

GERMANY D|SL|KES
 STANDARD O|L CO. e Would Bar Company From
 Wholesale Business TO WORK NEW PLAN Business In Illuminating Oils to Be Entrusted to National Stock
 Company Acting Under Gov
 ernment Supervision
TO WORK NEW PLAN

Berlin October 14-A government bin
 aimed at the Standard Oil company is
 announced today in the semi-official Nord
 Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. The provi-
 aons of the bills are intended to bar that company from wholesale business in illum- mating oils in Germany, which is to be entrusted to a national stock company operating under government supervision. The new company is to be empowered to acquire the existing wholesale oil plants and stocks by appropriation if necessary.
 The capital of the new company is to be furnished by the big German banks
 and open subscription. The banks are to be given registered shares and an in- creased voting power to prevent any at tempt to obtain foreign control The life of the corporation is fixed at 30 years.
 As an additional precaution the bill IS to
 contain elaborate provisions to prevent the augmentation of prices. If the fixed max mum price should be exceeded the com pany's dividends cannot exceed the legal
 rate of interest and the dividends are to
 he increased proportionally as tue price sinks below the maximum, thus forcing
 the company to make all efforts to reduce prices.
 The imperial government is to receive four-ffths of the profits when the price is | below the maximum and is not to partici- 1 pate when 1t Is above. This provision is | made so as to eliminate one factor tend- I ing toward excessive prices.
 In explaining the bill the Nord Deutsche Algemeine Zeitung says: The Standard | oil company has already obtained control lsof the wholesale in lluminants in Ger
 many and is attempting to eliminate re- tailers by the introduction of the can | system. All attempts made by German companies to hold the Standard oil com pany in check have failed and prices. | which have kept down the competition of | the Austrian refiueries. will undoubted- l ly be raised when that obstacle has been 1 removed by agreement or by cutting prices.
 The success of the measure, says the newspaper, is dependent upon adequate supplies of independent oil. Negotiations | with independent producers of America l Russia, Rumania and Balicia indicate that l the contracts for the greater part of
 the German supply can be arranged out side the Standard Oil company The newspaper concludes that opinion is
 unanimous against the American oil com pany and counts upon a large supply from | American independent oil producers as | soon as they are in possession of fleet of tank steamers. It expresses the hope l that the Standard oil company will con- l tinue Germany under contract with the
 new company.
 Under the bill neither gasoline nor oil products will be affected

Quaker Dress

From the New York Telegram.
 It is fortunate for women of today wrose tendency in dress lends itself in- ereasingy 10 the artistic in color and design, that they did not live in the year 1726. There was then apparently, a yearning even among Quaker women to break away from inartlstic fashion and It's note of color simplicity, for the fol- lowing message was sent in that year to fair Quakers by some of their stron- minded sisters:
 "As. first that immodest fashion of hooped petticoats or the imitation, either by something put Into the petticoats to make them set full or any other imta- ton whatever which we take to be hut a branch springing from the same corrupt root of pride. And also that none of our friends accustom themselves to wear their gowns with superflous folds be- hind. but plain and decent, nor go wItn- out aprons. nor to wear superflous gath CTS of plaits in their caps or pinners. nor to wearing their heels drest high be- hind neither to cut nor lay their hair on their foreheals or temples. And that friends be careful to avoid wearing striped shoes. or red and white heeled shoes or clogs, or shoes trimmed with gaudy colors."

From the Boston Transcript.
 Sweden brings an interesting mes sage to the United States, through its delegation to the international con gress. It Is impossible to approach any delegates from any country and get into conversation with them about their affairs before they have unbur- dened their hearts and their minds of profuse expressions of gratitude Tor Boston hospitality, which exceeds. they say, anything they have experienced elsewhere Herr John Hammar Is no exception He is the director In chief or the General Export association or Swe- den, iwth headquarters in Stockholm, and is in constant touch with the in- dustrial and commercial activities or the world. When he returns to Swe- den, with headquarters in Stockholm, as profound in his praise of the Unit ed States as were the Americans in their characterization of Swedish hos pitality at the Olympic games Herr Hammar has made warm friends in Boston.
 Perhaps the ordinary observer would throw the first match away that didn't light when struck and would not give the incident thought, but Herr Ham mar looked at it before striking an other. "whyl that Match" he said as he struck again, lis ugly and clumsy It sputters and spits and when the flame goes out 1t smokes like big chimney over a bituminous coal fire Those are defects which he had not been accustomed to see in the matches that are made in Sweden. and 1t quick ly caught the eye because the match industry is one of the biggest indus tries In sweden. with an expanding market all over the world, and Herr Hammar's chief interest lies In the en- largement of the Swedish export trade.
 Tremendous activity is developing in Sweden. said Herr Hammar. along aeni- mercial and industrial lines, and the en change of business with the Uni-ed States is growing proportionately, Meas- ured in Swedish crowns the imports to Sweden Increased from 64i23o,0oo in l9y5 to 611 ,630.o00 In 1910, and the exports in- creased during the game period from 5oi.- 0.000 to j62. .s0.10.

Advantage of Big Battleships

Rear Admiral A. T. Mahan in I.eslie's. A very important factor in the dues- ton of the size of ships Is that of econ- omy. A given amount of tonnage Is more economically assigned to one ship than distributed among several. Three ships require three captains, three of- ncers constantly on deck in charge. three men at the wheel and three times as many lookouts While the same pro- tion-threefold-o deck and ensi- neer force may not bo needed, the az gregate crews of three vessels would nevertheless show q vry considerable pr centage in excess of one of the sam, aggregate tonnage All this means much more expense for the same car iriage of freight and passengers The same order of considerations applies 10 ships of war, but in a less degree. be- cause naval vessels are not Tor puf- poses of gain. With them the running expenses in this particular count as with merchantmen: but the question Of nrotit is replaced by that of military efficiency, as mlnisterng to the safety of the nation or to the assertion or national politics.
