Highly volatile gasoline for fighting
aeroplanes was one of the war needs.
The output of this special gasoline by
all the refineries east of the Rocky
Mountains was not enough, so Califor-
MIA was called upon to furnish large
part Of the supply. At the request of
the United States Government the Pa
ci6c Coast Petroleum War Service
Committee apportioned California's
quota among such of the large refners
as were able to make this special gaso-
line.
The Standard Oil Company, being
the largest of these, had the greatest
quota to fill. We were glad to do our
part. We supplied more than our quo
ia of aviation gasoline.
Aeroplane engines, operating high in
the air under conditions of extreme
cold and rare6ed atmosphere, require
different gasoline from engines operat-
ing on the ground. In fact, the needs
are so special that the gasoline manu-
factured for aeroplane use Gotten used
at attitudes of from 10000 to $4,000
feet) would be utterly Indifferent for
use in automobile or other internal
combustion engines operated on land
or sea.
Aviation gasoline has to be highly
volatile. It must vaporize rapidly even
in the extreme cold of very high alti-

tudes. On its rapid vaporization alone
must often depend the lives of the men
in the aeroplane. This gasoline would
not be good for general use. 1t would
lack power on the ground, its loss in
storage by evaporation would be great,
and it would be expensive.
Making aviation gasoline for the
Government took very considerable
part of the low boiling point or highly
volatile constituents of the crude oil,
and, as result, the gasoline left avail
able for regular use lacked those quail
ties which assure easy starting of the
automobile engine.
The Governments demand for avi-
alton gasoline reached its maximum in
the late fall of 1918, and then for peri
cd of about six weeks the deficiency of
Red Crown gasoline in low boiling
point constituents or easy starting
qualities was most apparent.
Now that the war is won and the
great demand for aviation gasoline has
ceased, we are again able to offer the
same grade of Red Crown gasoline as
formerly, with the same full and con-
tinuous chain Of boiling points from
the low to the high-whichis necessary
for easy starting, quick and smooth
acceleration, high power and long
mileage.

The movement will operate accord.
ing to standard plan. This plan pro-
vides for a preliminary survey Of the
entire South to discover what persons
are not affiliated with any religious
denomination.
DR.. A. C. Zumbrunnen Is in charge
Of the survey, and he has made pre-
liminary Investigations in a large
number Of typical sections as samples
to guide pastors in surveying their
own fields.
When these surveys are completed
the eyangelistic movement will be
launched in an effort to interest all
non church members whose names
have been secured.
IL has been estimated that half a
million workers will be enlisted 20

| church, erected and maintained by the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
| Will be erected amid the ruins of
1pres, in Belgium. This was stated
Dy DR.. W. B. Beauchamp director
general of the Centenary Commission,
who, with Bishop James Atkins, the
bishop in charge Of European mission
flelds, just returned from Belgium.
The city Of Ypres, terribly devas.
tated, will not be rebuilt in it's entirety.
The once magnificent Cloth Hall, the
finest in the world, the Cathedral the
town hall, the churches, and other
large ruins will be left as a perpetual
memorial.
Of these the city mayor has caused
signs to be erected, reading: This
is holy ground. No stone of this fab
ric may be taken away. 1t is heri.
tage for all civilized peoples"
A City of Memorials.
Ypres is city of memorials. The
British government has selected site
and will erect great museum as a
monument to her fallen heroes.
Similar buildings will be built by
Canada, New Zealand, Australia and
Belgium.
In the midst of these memorials the
Southern Methodist Church will be
erected. 1t will contain a library,
reading room and social equipment,
in addition to its auditorium and
class room.
"Ypres will always be a mecca for
Travellers" said DR.. Beauchamp.
Thousands and millions will flock to
that battlefield. Our Church will not
only minister to the people of Ypres
and the surrounding territory, but 1t
will also serve these visitors"
Great Plant In Brussels.
The Methodists have also purchased
great building in Brussels, which
will be their headquarters for Europe.
1t will contain offices, an auditorium,
reading and lecture rooms, publish.
ing plant and social equipment.
The general secretaries of the two
Protestant bodies of Belgium the
state Church and the free Church, will
have offices in this building, thus
making it the Protestant center of
Belgium.
Southern Methodists have also pur.
chased half interest in the Protest
ant hospital Of Brussels. 1t will be
enlarged and its capacity will be
doubled.
Relief Stations Established.
DR.. Beauchamp reported that thou.
sands of children will freeze to death
this winter, because the Germans
flooded the mines and filled them with
concrete, thus making it impossible
for the people to obtain fuel,
"Children, with their mothers" said
DR.. Beauchamp, "are now living in
the abandoned trenches and dug-outs
left by the enemy"
In order to cope with the situation
the Methodists have arranged to open
relief stations at Ypres, st. Quentin,
Montdidier, Belgrade and other points.
A full contingent of physicians,
nurses, directors and social workers
will be sent abroad as soon as they
can be found.
The Church has q fund of $4,000, 900
for European construction work. This
will be spent in Servia, France, Bel.
gium, Poland and Bohemia.

OF the necessity for organized govern
ment. The speaker said that Christ
lived In an age when the people had 1T
Ito to say about their government and
for this reason his references to things
political may not have been as frequent
as they would have been II he had lived
IN this age Of government by the people.
Dr.. Giesemer said the reason re-
llglon doesn't leave politics alone is
that politics don't leave religion alone.
politics deals with the great moral
questions and since Il does there is no
set Of people that should be more great
ly concerned with politics than the
Christian Church"
The speaker denounced those who
would comercialize the Christian Sab
bath. zone OF the fundamental issues
that has made this great country is the
Christian Sabbath" he said, land be-
cause Il has the people of this country
can III afford to let any set OF men vio-
late our Sabbath to CRAFTY CONNER

Further on Ia his sermon he said,
1--WE people living in America are poll
ticlans by nature. We can't help it.
We are the government. And because
right-thinking people are the govern
ment, there Is no place in America for
anarchy, no place for dynamite, no
place for the I. w. w, for the Social
ist who would take our stars and
Stripes, tear it into shreds and lift the

way | would group together all of this
ilk, put them on a ship, take the ship
to sea and sink the ship, so that we
might keep the land free for manly
men and women who believe in gov

1T is when the people vote that the
King abdicates. Thank God the Kali
ser is gone from Germany May the
day speedily come even in England and

The United Press said us presentation
Lad been poslponedl It may be re-
served until the constitution is debated
by the plenary session Many OF the
delegates are understood 70 favor equal
1 lty Of nations, but not OF natlonalitles.
The conference today began what
was supposed 10 be the last week OF
It's work on the preliminary peace
treaty with everything apparently IN
state Of chaos. 10 seemed as though
the delegates had nothing 10 show for
their many weeks OF hard work except
an increased accumulation Of unsolyed
problems.
n the conference is half as bad as
its surface indications, II seems certain
ths conference will not finish its work
on the treaty this week, or for several
weeks. But members OF the American
delegation pointed out that the sltua-
iiOn is similar 10 that of the closing
days of Congress, a state legislature,
or a national convention-when II APP
pears impossible that the work will be
completed, yet, Il Is always finished.
There was a tend ncy TO feel, too,
cans will cut the Gordlan knots In the
peace settlement by the direct method
az laying down a prog am for solution
and enforcing IL by their economic,
financial and political domination.
For instance, the Rhine question ap-
peared lnsoluble today. The French !
were stlll holding out for territorial Sc
curity on the left bank. Various COM |
promises have been suggested, rejected |
and renewed. The most notable Of [,
these Is the creation Of a buffer state /
by establishing independ nee Of the
Rhenish p -ovinCes. II no scheme con-
ssient with the principle Of self de-
termination and no annexalions is
achieved, the problem Is expected 10 be
terminated by flat American and Brit
lsh declaration somewhat TO this effect:
"You have tried and we have helped
you to work out a plan Of territorial
guarantee es which viii violate the prin-
clples underlying the armlstce. Our
attempts have ended In failure There
fore. you must accept simply the guar
antee offered under the league OF ma
tons"
Few here doubt the ability Of Great
Britain and the United States TO enforce
the solution above suggested The An
glo-American delegates are expected to
take the same attitude toward Italy and
Japan. As a result. while there appears
TO be no solution 10 these and many
other questions in sight, Il Is always
possible 10 fasten the lid on internal
and sign a t-eaty covering
all necessary points in line with the
provisions.

NO NEW MARKET ST.
BRIDGE FOR PRESENT

Permission to erect a bridge at Mar
ket street to cross the Brandywine will
not be authorized by the Legislature
this session, it was announced today.
Passage Of the bill calling for a bond
issue for the erection OF a bridge at
Washington street is expected today or
tomorrow. It has already received the
appreciation Of the House.
IL is predicted that there viii be ex-
traofdlnary use OF the Market street
bridge during the construction OF
Washington street bridge. Both struc-
lures are each carrying a load Of i00.-
900 tons a week. Experts claim that
Market street bridge is better able TO
stand for awhile. II will be necessary,
however, to replace some Of the wood
stringers on this bridge with iron
stringers to reinforce the structure for
the additional strain that will result
when the Washington street bridge Is
shut on by construction work, and au-
thorization can be obtained later for
construction for Market street bridge.

A Tribute TO Men TO
Whom Tribute is Due
lFrom the New York sunl

The Americans who signed the Dec
laraton Of Independence in Ph.ladel-
phia in ITO committed their lives 70
the successful outcome Of their solemn
purpose. Failure to achieve indepen-
dence by force OF arms meant death
to them, the death OF the traitor TO
his government. No slgner OF that
immortal covenant affixed his name
thereto without a full real zatlon OF
the gravity OF his act, without a full
realization OF what II meant 10 his
fellow colonists, TO his neighbors and
to himself.
II called for sublime courage, cour-
age OF the highest order. FOR th { lit
he band Of lfty-fve signers to pledge
themselves to American independence,
10 pledge defiance to the powerful
British Empire even at the cost OF
death to themselves.
Without any idea OF forcing a bis
torlcal parallel or inviting a compari-
son Of the physical and moral risks
involved the sun now calls atten-
ton TO the courage and patriotism Of
those Senators OF the United states
who on March 3, 1919. deliberately
pledged themselves and, their political
fortunes TO the preservation OF that
American independence which the
Signers OF i176 declared

lied control, it was pointed out unless
it Is met squarely at once. One solu-
tion APPARENTLY will be 10 raise an inter-
Allied expeditlonary force. The alter
native is to allow the Germans who are
in a much better stragetic position to
deal with the situation. Germany would
thus virtually become the Allies man
daiory in Eastern and Central Europe.
Germany. in the meantime, IS block
ing the Allies at every point possible.
Many are convinced she Is taking this
attitude for no other purpose than to
force permission for her 10 play "Hora-
thus at the bridge"
Menaced on two sides, one by the Ger
mans and the other by the Bolsheviki,
Poland is desperately in need Of food,
equipment and the assistance Of her
troops that fought in France. Yet, Ger
many Is refusing to permit these troops
to land at Danzig, placing the peace
conference face 10 face with the alter
native OF backing down or disembarking
the Poles under the guns Of Allied war
ships.
The situation, in Rumania Is darker
still in many ways. Added to the threat
Of a Bolsheviki invasion from the East
is the menace OF Soviet Hungary. Po-
land and Rumania desire q common
boundary so they may form buffer
states against the Bolsheviki, under pro-
lection OF the league OF nations. But II
would require some time to bring this
about and the situation apparently de-
mands speed Of action above everything
else.
The feeling is growing here that max
ing this international jigsaw puzzle
peoples and rations flt Is the most i'm
portant problem before the conference
and that whether the preliminary treaty
with Germany is ready for signing next
matters little unless strong
measures are taken by the Allies to
stamp out the mischief brewing
throughout Eastern and Central Europe.
