When Mrs. Housewife
Buys the Sunday
Dinner

In the days when prices were lower
than they are now, Mrs. Housewife
went over to the corner grocery on
Saturday afternoon and bought what
ever she could find that would make
nice Sunday dinner.
She bought promiscuously-a little
of this, little of that Before she went
to the store she, perhaps, had little idea
of just what food was going to be
served at that Sunday dinner-the
meal that is the biggest one of the
week In most families.
But today Mrs. Housewife buys diff
ferently. Higher prices and the ad-
vancement Of the culinary art to a
science has caused this change In her
method of buying.
She does her buying as systematical-
ly as she does her cooking. She knows
pretty well IN advance just what Is GO
ing to grace the table for that Sunday
dinner. She plans il we'll and she
kI ows Just the exact amount OF vege-
tables, flour, eggs and the many.
many other necessary things, needed
to make that dinner a success-and she
takes just as much pride in making
that dinner a success as her husband
does in making his business a success,
After the dinner has been planned
she starts her buying systematic
buying. She knows that the wide
awake grocers and butchers advrr-
tise so she looks to their stores as the
place where she can find the best quail
ity at the best price. She knows. too,

TNIIE miracle of mechanical
development which has
Il revolutionized the world
and has changed mans habit of
life, even in the remoteSt wilder
ness, was made possible by the dis
covely Of oil In 1853, and the
development of oil refining, in
which the Standard Oil Conf
pany was a pioneer and leader.
With the development of the petroleum
industry came a cheap, efficient, easily
secured lubricant, capable of keeping
the bearings of the heaviest machinery
running cool and without friction.
1t is the thin film of mineral oil which
has made possible the great mechanical
inventions Of the modern world When
population was scarce and widely scat
tered, the surplus animal and vegetable
fats were sufficient to grease the simple
machinery of that day, but with the
vast development of mechanical power
quite inadequate.
The old system and the new may be
visualized by comparing the grease
rag" of Madeira with the marvellous
automatic force feed fabrication in your
automobile. In Madeira the native
walks ahead of his team, smearing the
cobbleStoneS with grease rag, while you
drive comfortably because petroleum
has made automatic fabrication possible.
Correct fabrication is the life of indus
try, and correct fabrication depends
entirely upon petroleum. All other
products of crude oil, while adding
much to the prosperity, comfort and
gayety of the world, could be given up
without the disastrous consequences
which would follow the elimination of
the petroleum lubricants.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
manufactures a large number of oils
and greaSes, each designed to meet an
especial need. To serve industry better,
the Company maintains staff of lubri-
eating experts whose business it is to
study the problems of individual indus
tries, and determine the Lubricants nee
essary to increase the efficiency of ma
chinery, and to prolong its life.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
is proud of its position as the manu-
facturer of the lubricants used by so
large number of important industries
throughout the nation.

Hitting on All SIX.

Some gloomy pictures Of the automo-
bile industry, painted in sombre colors,
have been sprad broadcast over the coun-
try. One hears from indirect and rather
vague sources that the point OF absorp-
ton for 1920 has been reached that the
industry is in a bad way because Of the
shortage Of cars to haul in the raw ma
terials and to halh out the finished prod
uct that the banks frown on automobile
paper, and like reports, But the actual
figures from the industry itself, set down
in black and white, do not by any means
bear out the foreca SITS. To judge from
those earnings statements, which, OF
course, are the truest guide to what the
industry is doing, automobile manufac-
turers are hitting on all six. A typical
illustration is to be found in the Chand-
Ter Motor Company which in June estab-
lished a high water wark for earnings,
rolling up the largest net In its history.
For the half year the corporation has
earned net of $5,20O.O00. equivalent TO
1850 q share on 100000 shares Of its
stock outstanding. The output of 1880
cars for the first half of 1920 was approx
mately two and one-half times its output
for the corresponding 1919 period. The
condition Of Chandler probably is typical
Of the large and representative corpora
tions of the industry.

increased costs OF production oon-
tinue to have their influence on iron
and steel prices. Buyers who have un-
shipped orders for steel bars at 2S5c.,
Pttsburg, and similarly low prices have
been asked by certain mills to meet
these tonnages with equal amounts at
SOC. and S,75c., Pittsburg. Some East
ern pig iron producers have advanced 1
similar proposal as an alternative to
blowing out.
THE effect Of the control of car pri-
ority on the extreme prices on coal and
coke Is to be tried out by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission before any
more stringent regulations OF these
markets is to be adopted by the Gov
ernment.
Structural steel bookings for the first
half of the year were $4,000 tons, or T2
per cent. of the fabricating shop capac-
ity. Shipments were approximately 70

NEED OF CARS STILL
HURTS STEEL TRADE
Freight Tangle Continues to
Block Shipments.

Pessimlsm continues to streak reports
from the iron and steel industry, largely
because the freight tangle is not un-
ravelling as rapidly as the industry had
expected. According to journals OF the
trade the situation has developed into a
constant struggle by producers to keep
plants running and finished shipments
In motion.
The Iron Age says of the situation:
"Arpralsals OF the effect Of, the 21 per
cent. advance in railroad wages Is not
easy in the absence OF clear indications
OF the attitude of the unions In the
steel trade the more general opinion is
that with the award retroactive for ten
weeks, and In view OF its amount, a
widespread strike against 1t is not likely.
The increasing signs Of reaction In var
ious industries are cited as having an
important bearing.
Steel manufacturers look for some re-
lief from the desperate conditions OF
many weeks with the return to work Of
experienced railroad workers, but II is
recognized that improvement will be slow
and N is admitted that the accumula-
tions OF product are more than have been
commonly known.
THE continuance OF SAC. basic pig iron
and SIS coke are proof OF the consIiic-
tion In the raw material end Of the IN
dustry, which Is matched IN higher sheet
prices at the other end in spite Of the
easing off In the automobile trade and

Of iron and steel pipe While the Steel
Corporation has only 60 per cent. OF its
tin plate capacity in operation, indie
pendent makers are doing better. the
average for the entire industry being put

Many canning plants are on the verge
Of closing down because of non-shipment
of tin plate to the makers of cans. Shut
downs of plants on the coast of Maine
for two to three weeks mean idleness for
10. 900 workers"
The Iron Trade RcUieW makes this
comment: Beneficial results from the
modified ruling by the Interstate Com
merce Commission on the use Of coal
cars by the iron and steel industry are
still to appear The week has been a
repetition of the constant struggle by
producers to keep plants running even
on carload basis, and finished ship
ments in motion. Neither aim is being
accomplished satisfactorily and the con-
gestion at the works is as severe and as
threatening as ever. excepting the Chi
cago district, where slight inroads have
been made into accumulated stocks
Transportation does not equal produc-
ton and the trend is toward further
throttling of the industry
THE effect of the railway wage de-
mand in restoring more adequate and
efficient traffic service is awaited with
keen interest. II has become clearer
that the recent estimate of 2,C0O 900 tons
of backed up production with the mills
and furnaces was very conservative
and did not involve large amount OF
semi-finished material piled in the
yards. The leading interest is credited
with about 100000 tons Of sheet bars
alone. Inability to get deliveries OF
semi-finished steel is Gripping finishing
