n as big as its personnel, and the
L - personnel reflects the bigneSS
and the vision of the men who
direct it.
The Standard Oil Company Ondiana)
has been able to attract to its service
men of ability, high ideals, and broad
vision, because of its policy of select
ing its executives from those who
have come up through the ranks.
The men who are today the direct
ing heads of the organization hold
their position by reason of their
thorough knowledge of the oil bust
ness, and because they have shown
profound understanding of our eco
aonic structure.
The Standard Oil Company Ondiana)
foreSaw the development ofthe auto
mobile engine, and realizing the ire
mendous increase in the demand for
gasoline which would result, pre-
pared in advance to meet the needs
of the people.
Ten years ago the average yield of
gasoline from the crude produced in
the United States was only eleven
per cent. Today the average yield
for the country is we'll over twenty
six per cent.
This increase is in large measure due
to the foresight of the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana), and the ad-
vanced work done by the chemists
and refining technicisns In the
Company's service.
The result of this vastly increased
yield of gasoline has been the more
rapid development Of all types of
automotive machinery, which, in
turn, has enabled the farmers of
America to increase their output of
foodstuffs in the face of an acute
shortage of agricultural labor.
The Standard Oil Company (Indiana)
is still working well into the future,
and the men who are directing the
destinies Of the Company confidently
expect to meet the needs of tomor-
row as completely as they are meet
ing the needs of today, and to give
creditable accounting oftheir trustee

%, 900 employees, and to the public
at large.

People used to half to make fire by rubbing sticks for about 10 ninnits. and now they can make it ' rubbing one stick about half second, being a match stick. This proves that the wer1d Is at leest minnits and 5s and a half seconds more sivilized than wat 1t used to be.
 The tdiffrents between safety match and a ordnerry match Is that a safety match wont strike enywares exsept on the box, and if it won't even strike there, it is so safe it is useliss. A balby should not be allowed to play with a match, on account of both of them being libel to be spoiled. A bernt child dreds the fire but a grown up persin dreds it without waiting to be oernt.

tee from that body to investigate the
condition of the city schools, particu-
larry with reference to the number OF
pupils enrolled in the various rooms
and the need of additional facilities.
The committee has made a tour OF
inspection and it was found that the
schools are badly oVercrowded, that
new buildings are needed and that the
existing ones. aside from the high
school, are in need Of repairs.
we felt when we started out said
| Mr.. Patterson yesterday. that con-
ditions were pretty bad, but We're
amazed at what we actually found,
! To begin with, we found that the
| school buildings, except the higR
school are deteriorating, Further
more, they are far from fire proof due
! largely to age and the style Of archl-
lecture followed when they We're con
structed.

used for overflow purposes. We found
over 200 pupils, packed in like sar-
dimes This building never was in

escapes and taking other precautions

are as high as fifty-seven pupils in

other rooms in the city where the en-
rollment is fully as large. Some OF
