claimed, he failed to take any
action, and the accused deputy
sheriff is still holding his job.

Oils excel as do the men who make
them. When nature made the crude,
she knew no favorites Refiners re-
eeiyed the same raw materials. All
were supplied alike.
Then certain fundamental methods
were perfected. Formulas were devel-
oped. Tests were standardized. The
crude followed much the same routine
from the wells, through the refinery. to
the finished product. Yet these lnbrl-
cants differed. Often a reiner's own
product changed from time to time.
