Service Through
ORGANIZATION

THE only difference between big business
/ and little business lies in the number of
units of effort and the character OF SER
vice rendered
The laboring man is in business for himself.
He renders service by selling his time,
energy and skill.
Big business is the grouping together of
great many units to render a greater service
BY co-ordinating the efforts of the individuals
and selling the results of their combined time,
energy and skill.
Up to few years ago the general public did
not understand the ideals of service underly::
ing big business What it did not understand
it dstrusted and naturally condemned.
When the Allies decided to organize their
armies the basis of big buslness-for
common service-they began to get results,
and the world saw the benefits to be derived
from intelligent organization.
The Standard Oil Company Gndiana) is a big
business organized to render useful service.
The objective of the Company is to manufac.
ture the greatest number Of useful products
from crude petroleum, to distribute them so
that they are available to all and to sell them
at minimum price.
The methods by which the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) renders these services en-
brace the truest financial democracy the most
advanced merchandising practices and ex-
tensive scientific research.
These are intended to expand the usefulness
of the Company as public servant, by main
tanning the quality of petroleum products
manufactured at the highest standard by max
ing an adequate return to those who are in
vesting their money their tmein the bust
ness of the Company and enabling the public
to secure their requirements OF such products
at a minimum of expense.
It is this spirit of cooperation anrnatng the
Board of Directors which enables the Com.
pany to discharge its complete obligation as
public servant in satisfactory to
its patrons.

Luminous Bacteria.

There is a striking article in KnOwl-
edge on luminous bacteria. Mr.. Bar
nard, who writes the article, includes
careful directions as to how the light
producing bacteria may be obtained
and grown. These bacteria emit light
that is produced entirely by themselves
altogether independently of any eX-
traneOuS light source; in fact. they
grow and produce light better if kept
entirely in the dark. Their efficiency
as light producers is extremely high.
and We're it possible to carry out on
a commercial scale the process of light
production as it occurs in bacteria q
tremendous step forward would be TAX
en-. The natural habitat Of these or
ganisms seems to be almost exclusive

as is found in estuaries where an ap-
probable quantity of saline matter is
present. The most easily produced
organisms of this group is the photo
bacterium phusphOrescens. 1t may be
obtained from a dead herring or mack.

FALL OF STATUE
ENDS HUN LUCK

Lond"n.-Al the world knows the
story of the Madonna which was dis
lodged by German shell fire from its
perch on the tower of the parish
church at Albert during the first mad
rush of the Huns through France IN
1914. The statue did not fall nor was
it greatly damaged. but the base was
so shattered that Ii hung precarlouSly

the people, namely, that when the Vir-
gin OF Albert fell Gas fall she must, in
the opinion of all who saw the statue)
the war would end In victory for
france and her allies But the war
did not end, nor did the statue fall.
and the opposing armies settled down
to nearly four years of trench war
fare
The Germans, who certainly never
miss point in their efforts to under
mine their opponents morale. seized
on the legend. Varying it to suit their
purpose they spread the story far and
wide that when the statue fell France
would lose the war. Now, the town of
Albert possesses most patriotic and
efficient parish priest. No sooner did
the Hun version of the story reach
his ears than he sought out skilled
blacksmith. The two assembled the
half-runed tower, surveyed the broken
base, and so braced and riveted the
statue to its recumbent position that
fall it could not until the tower itself
gave way.
