hague conference. Il was that ar
bitration OF justiciabls aueetions
was not made obligatory % that no
nation could bring another before
the court unless the defendant vas
willing to come, and there vas no
way TO enforce . judgment" After
declaring that in his judgment strict
" justiciabls or judicial questions
should be obligatory, Mr.. Root
wrote that the United States ought
to be willing, 20 Tar as such ques-
tons were concerned, to stand pre-
ctsely on the same footing a. other
nations, but thAt with regard to
questions Of policy some diflcult
considerations are apparent. He
added, however. "The great and es-
sential thing about the plan con-
tinued in the covenant Of the League
OF Nations IL that it makes inter-
national conferences on political
questions compulsory in time Of
danger and that it brings together
such conferences upon the call Of
officers who represent all the pow
er and makes it practically impos-
stble for any nation to keep out of
them"
Mr.. Root praised the scheme for
international conference but point
ed out some Of its serious effects.
The important thing, however. is
that Mr.. Root cabled Senator Hard
ing from London after a personal
observation of European affairs,
that the structure of the present
treaty and the league was worth
preserving and was by no means
dead. Some people will profess to
see a clear break between Senator
Harding and Mr.. Root. Others are
con fident that Senator Harding will
&c the right thing when he calls a
conference Of the statesmen Of
America and that the value Of Mr..
Roots judgment will then be fully
tested. The Root cablegram, which
it is only fair to say he did not give
out for publication, is the deliberate
judgment Of a man who was secre-
| tary of state under President Roose-
welt and the American representa-
! tive at The Hague conference.
In Marion, however. there is a
disposition to look upon Mr.. Root
as having advanced to such an old
age as to be out Of tune with the
spirit of the last election result,
and as having such Affiliations with
the international banking groups as
to make his advice of doubtful
value. These are the two views,
and when President-elect Harding
returns to his home it will become
apparent exactly how much Elihu
Roots advice will be taken on mat
tiers of foreign policy.

oline says: 1T is up to the refners to
extract more of petroleum's useful fac
tors from the crude"
This he says can be effected through
efficient management and by improved
methods of cracking and blending.
Mr.. Hill thus expresses the opinion
which has dominated the policy of the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana) for
many years and has enabled this Com
pany to raise its efficiency peak year
after year.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
has been leader in developing pro-
ccsses to increase the yield of gasoline
from crude oil.
The best known and most successful of
its improvements is the Burton process,
originated in the laboratories of the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana).
Speaking Of the Burton process, MI. Hill says that
''since it was hrn installed commercial
barrels Of gasoline from heavy distillates ard
has thus saved approximately $50 million bar-
rels Of crude that would hsve been necessary
to produce equivalent amount Of gasoline.
This vast saving has been accomplished without
nerihcine quality.
Red Crown, the motor gasoline, made and sold
BY the Standard Oil Company Indiana) IS
acknowledged by petroleum chemists and other
authorities to be the standard fuel for motor cars
Il more than meets Government specifications,
which require IN initial of not more thaa 40
degrees F; 20 percent of At 22l degrees; 50
percent off At 284 degrees; go percent off At 374
degrees; and dry point Complete vaporization)
u not more than 437 degrees F.
During the semi-annual test conducted in July
1920. the average for Red Crown Gasoline
showed an initial of 102 degrees F; 20 percent
of at 210; 50 percent of at PSI; go percent off
1t 3S7; and dry point Of AT degrees F.
Thi, shows. IN initial SO degrees better than
Government specifications, which means easy
startine; 20 percent of II degrees better than
Government specifications; so percent off at 3
degrees bester than Government specifications;
and 90 percent off thirteen degrees higher than
Government specifications, which il more than
made up BY the 10 degrees difference in dry point.
Thi, proves that, Notwithstanding the. greatly
increased quantity Of gasoline which this Com
pany is able to take from the crude, II has in no
way sacrificed quality, and is another indication
that the large scale operations Of this Company
have worked to the distinct advantage Of every
user Of gasoline.

Development of
A Normal Baby

An inexperienced mother is often
at a loss to know whether her baby
is properly thriving and may be un-
duly alarmed at small matters, or
may not understand the serious ma
ture of certain conditions. The best
indications of perfectly healthy
baby are a steady gain in weight and
quiet, peaceful sleep. If baby shows
fretfulness, sleeplessness, gas or sour
stomach, or is inclined to constipa-
ton, it should have attention.
Most of the baby's troubles come
from improper assimilation of food,
resulting in indigestion. This leads
to faulty elimination, and of course,
baby doesn't develop properly. When
these symptoms occur, a good baby
laxative will generally suffice, but
great care should be exercised not to
give baby strong, irritating drugs
that will set up Inflammation in the
delicate membrane of baby's stom-
ach
One of the best laxatives for babies
is "Baby Ease," a perfected prepara-
tion by baby specialist, that is easy
acting, non-irritating, does not pro-
duce over-action or leave baby con-
stipated. 1t is safe. harmless and
efficient laxative and corrective. If
baby does not improve after a few
doses, take him to a physician. Ask
your druggist for "Baby Ease"

Soldier Draws Fine;
Causes Police Trouble

Private Willing, a soldire at South
er Field, who has declined to give
his full name to municipal authori-
ties, was fined S15 in recorders court
this morning, having been arrested
Saturday night by Police Lieutenant
Kimsey, charged with being drunk.
Willing spent Saturday night and
Sunday in the barracks and was there
this morning, his superiors at the
field not having interested themselves
in his case. According to informa-
ton, Willing has been arrested once
before for drunkenness. and police
authorities have had difficulty here
tofore in controlling his actions while
in Americus.
