Making
9 %,

ME number OF motor vehicles in use
in the United States during 1919
increased 23.2 percent over 1918.
For the same period the production of
gasoline increased only percent.
To supply gasoline for the greatly in
creased fleet of motor vehicles is the prob
lem confronting the petroleum industry.
To date, the solution of this problem has
been possible by reason of the reserve
stocks on hand. This bulk storage has
served as an expansion and contraction
factor to keep supply equal to demand.
In the II states it serves, the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) maintains $3.50 bulk
storage stations where stocks of gasoline
are carried sufficient TO meet the normal
demand, with reserve for almost any
emergency.
Had it not been possible to keep this tre-
rnendouS reserve in the field, thousands
of motorists would have been unable to
operate their during the late trans
portatlon troubles.
This equipment, representing an invest
ment of millions ofdollars, is managed by
alert men, trained to serve you. SO far
it has proved itself equal TO any demands
made upon it.
The foresight of the men responsible for
cooperation of the Standard Oil Company
Qndana) has enabled them to estimate ac-
curately the probable needs of the motorist
for gasoline, and they have located bulk
and service stations at convenient points
throughout the territory, where the needs
of the buying public can be supplied
quickly and easily.
This emphasizes the benefits derived by
the public from the efficiency of
company as big as its job

They have yet failed do their part most gracious

To surpass each previous ceremony is the ambition
of ALL And that this will be realized March 4, next is
assured in the selection of EDWARD b. MCLEAN as

for the position at indicated in the selection he has
made of associates to assist him in the mammoth work
ahead 1t has often been said that there is other city
in the country that equal Washington in staging

something to do with this superiority, but
the intensely patriotic desire Of Washngtonans to leave

Nearly all of us have hidden away somewhere, more

In China, finger nails like these supposed to be
respectable because they prove that you do manual
labor This cuts the nails of his left hand-he must
With respectable nails both hands, he could not
dress or feed himself.
The daughter of this Chinese, until lately, believed
that respectaby consisted in feet squeezed horribly

In this country many who consider real work not
respectable although they may not let their finger nails
grow or squeeze their feet to prove their ideness.
However, the American whose pride is in dleness does
not count We have other ideas of responsibility almost
foolish What is YOUR respectable idea, your neigh
boris? Do you think your child daughter in the public
school must have silk stockings because elses
daughter has them? That is ONE way of spelling child
in the present and worrying it in the future
Do you think it worth while to into debt for rent
that you cannot afford that you may write your friends
from address that won't help you any when trouble
comes? Your creditors will anything about your
address.
Have you the innocent idea that stove pipe hat on
Sunday responsibility and cloth cap the lack of it?
Is your idea that to spend funeral money that

idea has made many poor widows and orphans work

We have all sorts of queer notions about ''respecta

There is just one kind of responsibility that really
counts
And that is working hard with BOTH your hands

reasonable laying up against the future.
