DE PALMA BREAKS
 | SPEED RECORD '

When Ralph De Palma, in a, trial lap over the Santa Monica course, broke the worlds road race record recently, he was running on the Standard Oil Company's Red Grown gasoline. De Palma covered the course at an average rate of 93.3S miles per hour, the fastest officially recorded speed ever made on any road course in the world.
 It is a remarkable tribute to the full and dependable power of "Red Crown" that it should have been the choice of the greatest automobile driver of the day, and that through it's use he was able to set up such "a remarkable record. The gasoline sup piled him was mot in any way spec ially made for the purpose, but De Palma filled his, tank from the reg ular gasoline wagon on the garage floor of the Packard representatives in Los Angeles. !
 This record again demonstrates the truth of the Standard oil Company's claim that Red Crown, straight dis titled, all-refinery gasoline, with its full and continuous chain of boiling points is absolutely dependable fol easy starting, quick and smooth ac- celeration, full power and long mileage.

ROME'S ARMY 400

Both the American army of occu- patton and the German people are anxious to know just how long the khaki clad visitors are to remain. Since no intimation comes from those ir authority both of them might recall that one Julius Ceaser drove the Teutons out of Flanders in fact he mentions victory at Mount Auxois. He, too, followed them right up to the Rhine, built bridge in ten days crossed over and took possession of the valley on the fright bank" spread out his legions to police the "treacher- ous inhabitants" That was in 50 B. C., and the Roman army remained 400 years. All that time flotillas of galleys were cruising up and down the Rhine! The army of occupation put the Germans to building bridges, aaueducts and castles under their di- rection, the ruins, of these great works now can. still be seen in the valley of the Moselle. The presence of the Ro- mans was 2 blessing to the Germans, however, for they pursued a liberal policy towards them, after having col- lected tribute of 40 million sesterces or approximately 11a million dollars for their treachery taught them to read to take bath and to shave.
 The old Romans have nothing on the doughhoys for the way things are looking they probably will stay long enough to teach, them to read treaty, collect an indemnity, set them to building few of the things they tore down, in fact they may stay until Ger many delouses her army and slaves her Bolsheviki.
