He leaped unhurt through the aper-

corner Of the house, followed by q
fusillade of shots from the sheriff and
his deputy.
At the front Of the house stood the
two automobiles deserted. The new
French racer stood throbbing under
power at the portals of Stanley hall.
The excited dealer had not thought
further Of the fine new machine when
he heard the sheriff's quick summons
for assistance. The more phlegmatic
and practical mechanic had turned off
the power Of the old garage car when
he had brought the sheriff the jack to
smash the door.
Arthur jumped into the throbbing
new racer. He had little thought when
he had ordered it In a nt of reckless

instinct of fear and self preservation,
it may have been chance that aided
him, but the machine bounded away
on highest speed. and Arthur turned
the steering wheel and made the turn
to the gateway safely.
He gave one glance back and saw
the mechanic endeavoring to start the
other car, while the sheriff stamped
and swore futilely. Whether 1t was

OVERLOOKED OPPORTUNITY

- ONE merchants of this country are overlook
~ ing bet in neglectng the use OF Uncle
Sans parcel post in serving their foreign trade.
To mention only one concrete instance, Chile
imported thru the parcel post in 1912 goods valued
at si,o82,43i and deliveries were made far more
quickly than thru ordinary freight channels. The
United States participated in this to the extent OF
but $4,000.
Relatively, our parcel post trade with other
foreign countries is the same. II has been found
that the mails are by far the most reliable method
of transporting small packages to foreign countries
whose commerce is not interfered with by war.
Our merchants have great opportunity to
build up mail order business with the whole world
while the war Is on, II they will.

Briefly put the committee found that the
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey pays enormous
profits and wages too low to maintain family on
healthful basis; that the company imported thugs
from New York city and Immediately upon their
arrival at Bayonne the shooting and cutting began;
that the employees are not permitted to unionize or
have any representation OF themselves collectively.
This is Standard Oil policy everywhere, and
long known TO be SUCH but what is more import
ant is the declaration by the committee that the
Standard Oil managers announce their intention to
enter the field of industrial relations with view to
widening their influence and activity, propagating"
such policies.
Given rope enough, the Standard will make all

THE public service commission has ordered tele-

This IS the result OF agitation begun by The

refund, also holds the fee is unfair.
The phone companies assessed the fee to insure
