HOW CLERK "G0T IN WRONG"
Shopper May Have Cost Store
a Customer.

Mother took her three-year-old
Ruth down town the other day to get
her a pair of shoes. Now Ruth had
set her little mind on brown shoes
and mother, on account of the care
the brown ones demanded, wished
black ones. So she enlisted the aid
Of the clerk in prevailing on Ruth
to be satisfied with black. Together
they argued and Ruth finally accept
ed the black ones. Then mother and
Ruth started out of the store. The
clerk said: 81 hope these will be all
right
Before mother could assure him
that they would, Ruth spoke up.
eyes, these will be all right this
time" she said, '9but the next time
we'll go to another store-won't we,
mother?"
While behind a rather amused
clerk wondered whether or not it
was wise to take sides on question
like this one.-Indianapois News.

STRING FROM MILK WEEDS
Next Camping Expedition
You May Take.

'Take the stalk of any Of the COM
mon milkweeds and break it, and
you will find that the outer bark
does not break and may be stripped
off into silkenlike threads, which
can be twisted together and used as
thread with which to sew ditty bags,
knife scabbards, etc" ;" says Dan
Beard, boy scout chief, in his depart
ment in Boys Life. i
FsNo one showed the chief how to
use the milkweed; that is, no human
being showed him, but there il a lit
tie orange and black wood CRATER
who builds its nest Of string and
yarn, when he can find it, in the
shade trees Of the village streets, but
in the wilderness, like the rest Of us,
he must use material he finds in the
woods, and it is there that the chief
discovered that the Baltimore oriole
was using milkweed fibers with
which to build its hanging nest.
"The chief also discovered that
the vireo was using the inner bark
of the chestnut with which to make
its cup-shaped nest, and the chief
Immediately began to experiment
with the inner bark of the chestnut,
and with it he made a rope the size
Of an ordinary clothesline, which
could support him without danger
of breaking, and ever since then he
has used this bark for string or rope
wherever chestnut trees were handy.
''Not only are these things good
with which to sew and with which
to do up bundles, as was pointed out,
to you readers in the chiefs story Of
the Rest Cure,' but one may also
use them for ropes with which to
bind together the logs of raft, for
a boat or canoe, or as material with
which to braid belt, or as fiber to
be used as raffia in basket making"

next day this one also was gone She

Women Doa Catchers.

Denver, Colo.-'"The only woman

applied to Mrs. Laura Dietrich. depu-
ty poundmistress at the dog pound
here. Mrs. Dietrich Is highly efficient
in the unusual role. according to VIII
aiam G. Fox, superintendent, who de-
.clares that he had misgivings at first
as to the advisability of securing a

it would be too difficult. However, I

THErefning of petroleum has
been revolutionized during
the past ten years. Otherwise
the present use of automotive
machinery would be impossible.
In 1910 the average yield of gaso-
line from crude was ii percent,
while in 1919 this average had
risen to about % percent, with
out in any way, impairing the
quality of the product.
This tremendous advance was
the direct result of applying the
findings of scientific workers TO
the problems of industry, and
in this work the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) has taken a
leading part.
The chemists and technical ex-
perts who have charge of the
manufacturing activities of the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
have been pioneers in the scien-
tihc refining of crude oil.
Their success IS attested by the
fact that the Company has been
able to produce an ever-increas-
ing volume of gasoline from the
petroleum available.
The gasoline problem is impor-
tant, but it can and will be
solved by individual initiative,
stimulated by fair and reasonable
competition.
In the solving of this problem,
the interests of the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana), the manu-
facturer ofautomotive machinery
and the public are one-greatly
increased production is essential.
The Standard Oil Company On
diana is straining every fibre of
its highly specialized organiza-
ton to increase the quantity of
gasoline which may be taken
from the crude-to maintain the
high standard of quality it has
always insisted on, and to do
this without disturbing the out
put of other useful and necessary
refined products of petroleum
which it must supply.
