City Health Officer Says "swat the
fly Is Best Prevention.
More cases of typhoid fever are ex-
pected to be contracted in the month of
October, than at any other time of the
year, according to DR.. Earle G. Brown,
city health officer. To date three new
cases of typhoid were reported in Oc-
tober. Seventeen cases were reported
in September.
swat the fly is an excellent guide
for prevention of typhoid, DR.. Brown
said. Flies are unusually numerous
at present and should be exterminated
as rapidly as possible.
zone dead fly now means 1000. 600
less flies in the spring" DIR. Brown
said.
Not since 1917 has typhoid been so
prevalent inTopeka as it has been so
far this year. Fifty five-cases of ty-
phoid, one more than double as many
as the record for 1919. are reported
were fifty.six- cases in 1918. Twelve
of the fifty-five 1920 cases were
known to have been brought to the
city from out of town. The cause or
origin of sixteen other cases is in
doubt and may have been brought
| into Topeka, DR.. Brown said.
One new case of scarlet fever is re-
ported today, making a total of sixteen
cases on record. Danger of an cpl
demic depends on the care given the
present cases and the strict observance
| of quarantine rules. Even tho case
| of scarlet fever is pronounced a light
| form of the disease, serious comph
| cations may result from it unless the
| best care and caution are exercised.

IN 1910 there were approximately
3 400 thousand cars in the United
- States.
To operate these cars there was avail
able a gasoline production OF $50
million gallons, or, approximately, 1875
gallons per Car.
In 1919 there were more than z mil
lion cars and trucks operating in the
United States.
To supply these engines there was
available, according to Bureau of
Mines Report, billion, 957 million
gallons of gasoline, or, approximately,
565 gallons per Car.
In neither case has consideration been
given to the demand of tractors, sta
tionary gas engines, or the gasoline
required by the arts and industries.
Nor have we considered the large
volume of this product shipped
abroad annually.
The above figures are presented so that
you may visualize one of the problems
the petroleum industry has been called
upon to solve in the past decade.
In 1910 the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana) marketed about 20 percent
of the gasoline output in the United
States, or approximately $50 million
gallons. In 1919 this Company sold
about GAO million gallons of gasoline,
or about II percent of the total for
that year.
It has been the task of the men who manage
the affairs of the Standard Oil Company Qndiana
for the 5124 stockholders, not one of whom owns
as much as 10 percent of the total, to expand
the organization not only to keep pace with, but
to keep ahead of the extraordinary and per-
sistent demand for gasoline.
How well they have succeeded is illustrated
clearly by the fact that in the 10-year period
above mentioned, the Standard Oil Company
Qndiana) has taken leading part in increasing
gasoline production 440 percent, while crude oil
production increased only "a percent.

LINDA.

Behind the liquid beauty of the
name Of Linda lies an interesting
history. II is not as is generally
supposed, a contraction OF Melinda
or Belinda or even Rosalind. though
the latter came into existence in
somewhat the same manner. Linda
is one OF the serpent names which
are found i'm abundance in Teutonic
nomenclature.
The old German word for snake
was lindwurm. or supple worm. The
ViSigOths considered the litheness Of
the snake a characteristic Of great
beauty and the word survived and
finally reached Spain as Undo or
