SENDING APPARATUS

GREAT SCIENTIFIC VALUE is
CLAIMED FOR EXPERIMENTS
OF PROF. GODDARD.

WASHINGTON.-A method oil

the regions beyond the earth atmos-
phere and even as far as the moon
itself, is described by Prof. Robert
H. Goddard, of Clark College, In a
recent publication for the Smlthso-
MAN Institution.
The new apparatus is multiple
charge high efficiency rocket of an en-
tirely new design. Demonstration OF
it's value and practicability are looked
for soon.
'"The great scientific value of Prof.
Goddard's experiment, says the an

GOLDEN JUBILEE OF
THE STANDARD OIL
JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER TELLS
OF IT'S HUMBLE BEGINNING.
HAD HARD STRUGGLE.

NEW YORK.-The story of how
the Standard Oil Company grew from
humble beginnings until it became
the greatest business organization in
the world was related by the founder
himself, John D. Rockefeller, in a
letter which was read here tonight at
dinner held in celebration of the
golden jubilee of the worldwide cor
poration.
Absence in Florida prevented Mr..
Rockefeller from joining the little
group of multi-millionaires, who as
sembled for the celebration.
In his letter which was addressed
to A. C. Bedford, chairman of the
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey, Mr.. Rockefeller said he believ-
ed that there were only two survivors
of the original organizers of the
Standard Oil Company of Ohio, the
parent organization, his brother, Will
liam and himself.
He said that he had commenced his
career as an oil refner, preceding his
brother in the business by four years.
The business of oil refining, Mr..
Rockefeller wrote, was very profit
able in the early sixties, but in the
late sixties it was overdone and the
competition was ruinous, so that
probably 80 and possibly 80 per cent.
of all engaged in it were either bare
l. Nv holding their own or suffering act
ual loss.
Finding of Capital Difficult.
Manv efforts were made to remedy
the Generalization in the industry,
| but without success, Mr.. Rockefeller
continued, until the Standard OIL
/ company undertook to unite certain
refinery interests under common
Ownership. The finding of capital for
| the scheme was difficult in view or
the poor credit conditions in the bus
mess. and Mr.. Rockefeller could re-
call only two concerns-the Warden,
| Frew & Co. interests of Philadelphia,
and the Charles Pratt Company. OF
New York-who were willing to fur-
nish cash in return for stock. AS an
illustration of the stringency IN the
Imoney market he said that the Stand
ard Oil Company borrowed from It's
shareholders all the money they would
llend and paid 10 per cent interest.
The money thus raised was still IN
sufficient. but financial backing was
Iobtained through the sale of stock TO
Heading capitalists and the business OF
other refners was taken over Dy
navments either in stock or cash. Inc
Iabiest representatives of such con-
Germs were enlisted in the adminlstra-
ton of the joint undertaking.
Saved Its Early Competitors.
"And here 1 may be pardoned for
saving" Mr.. Rockefeller wrote, that
the Standard Oil Company made a
record without precedent in the ms
torv of commercial enterprise IN
turning to its weaker and bankrupt
competitors and offering them.
chance to recoup their waning for
tunes without any risk on their part
except the putting in of their plants;
MANY of which were superan!nuaIteu
and illv equipped to cope with the
more up-to-date retlnerles even y
II am happy that all who took
Istoek prospered and did much better
than they could have done under any
other circumstances"

DEATH STRIKES THIEF
WHILE HE'S STEALING OPIUM
lnhaling Dust From 100000 Loot
Causes Mans Death.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Inhaling the
dust arising from $4,000 worth of
opium and heroin which he was
dumping into bag from drying pans
at the plant of the New York Quinine
q Chemical Company, Brooklyn, af-
ter he had broken into the place, John
Sehunitdki collapsed on the bag and
died. His body was found by the po-
lice.
Explaining the occurrence Bene-

that the dust rising from dried opium
Is deadly poison if inhaled long

HEADED UP IS COST
OF GOVERNMENT
WAR OVER BUT BUDGET ASKS
FOR BILLIONS. ENORMOUS
INCREASE is IN SIGHT.

WASHINGTON, D. c. Uncle
Sam threatens to become the nation
al spendthrift. He is dispensing mil
lions, yea billions, with less care than
he formerly gave to the expenditure
of thousands. War finance has robb-
ed him of his sense of proportion,
just as war wages and war profits
have overturned popular appreciation
of values.
The cost of government, in the Sec
ond year after the war, like the cost
of living, is headed up, not down.
The government is urging the peo-
pie, as the best means of combating
the H. C. L., to practice rigid econ
omy, to buy nothing but necessities.
But the government itself, instead of
branches for the fiscal year ending
ready to spend hundreds of millions
more than it spen0 through those
same channels formerly.
Appropriations Are Huge.
Appropriations requested by the
executive, legislative and judicial
branches for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1921, to date amount to $4,-
.473,696.358, almost four and half
billions.
Total appropriations voted by con-
gress for the current fiscal year end
ing June 3, 1920, amount to $685.
486,359, over five and a half billions.
This makes an apparent cut or
Saving" of $1,155, 100000 or over a
billion in the proposed expenditures
for the year ending June 30, 1921.
On the basis of this reduction in to-
tai appropriations asked the country
lis being told that the governments
estimates have been prepared on the
basis of strict economy.
This reduction of 81, 155, 100000 in
the appropriations asked is not
achieved by any application of econ,
omy. 1t is achieved in spite of the
lack of it. 1t is because certain large
Undertakings, due to the war, carried
through the present year, are not tt
be continued into 1921.
ANY increases in pay to govern
emnt employees or to postal employees
will have to be met by still further
appropriations. The estimates, as sub
mitted, figure all wages and salaries
at present government standards
The proposed increase is due Target!
