nor many years the Standard Oil
Il Company (New Jersey has main
tanned a special division of its staff
whose activities are devoted en-
tirely to the development of new
products and the constant improve
ment of those already being manu-
featured. A large share of the
work of this Development Depart
meni centers around the produc-
ton and quality of "Standard"

As result of continuous research
work and exhaustive, practical road
tests conducted by this Department,
we are able to announce the pro-
duction of a decidedly improved
quality of gasoline.
The standard" Motor Gasoline
which is now ObtainabIe at every

line he buys. In fact, he usually
doesn't care about the factors. He
is interested, first, last and always,
in the quality as it is delivered to
him. So, without wealth of tech
meal information, the mOtOrist
measures gasoline quality by one,
and what is after all the final, de-
Gliding test, namely-its behavior
in his motor.
Gasoline must be good rot in one
respect but in all respects. To make
it seem better, even to an expert,
without really being better, is not
an improvement. Our present prod
uct is really better from every
standpOint-so much so that YOU
will quickly notice the difference.
1t has never been tlepractice OF this
company to claim economies and
technical merits for its products
which the average mOtOrist could
not prove for himself. Give ''Stand-
ard" Motor Gasoline trial. This is
all we ask you to do. We are con-
fident that, purely on the basis ofits
performance and economy, you will
use it regularly. Try it today.

READING IMPORTANT IN
PRIMARY GRADES

That reading is the most import
ant subject in the primary grades
was the unanimous decision of the
teachers Of the second grades, who
met yesterday il: the Washington
street school building; first, because
reading is indispensable in moderA
l;fc. and second because in the abil-
iIy To read depends the future prog
reSS in school work.
Reading is largely q matter Of
practice and habit and the teaching
of reading in the Alexandria schools
is hampcrcd because of the lack OF
sufficient supplementary reading ma
terial to afford necessary practice.
There are approximately nine
hundred children III the first three
grades in the white schools. 1t ls
felt that six hundred readers, that
is. fifty for each room, would ma
terially improve the quality Of read
ing in the primary grades.
The meeting was presided over by
Miss Mary d. Pierce. supervisor OF
schools. and the teachers present
were, Miss Fannie Dunn ANA
Mrs. Sofia Wolfe of Washington
street school, Misses Leslie Cox
Ruth Deahl and Sofia Brooking, Of
Lee School. and Miss Hilda Noonan
of West End School.

Pomn To Mark Burial

For colorful pomp and ceremon!
and for sheer interest in the famous
men that will participate, the ccre-
monies to be held here Nov. | at the
burial of the body Of an unknown SOL
der in Arlington cemetery are eX-
rectcd TO be unrivalled in the history
of the United States and to approach
closely some of the famous ccrcmon
.2> of the old world.
The very finest of the existing or
ganiZations of the army and navy;
the cream Of the nations air fleet;
hundreds of the finest specimens on
tie great American EXpeditionary
Force now returned to private liic;
premiers and leading statesmen OF
Europe and Asia; the President of the
United States; members Of Congress
and other high officials are expected
to participate.
Nothing is to be spared to make the
parade and the ceremonies attendant
on the burial of this soldier even
more impressive and symbollcal than
the funeral even Of President Of
the United States. Expense is not TO-
be rcckoned for the ceremonies, but
simplicity and not elaborate and c:l-
travagant display is to be the key
note.
1t will be parade the like Of which

Of the present generation. 1t is hopec
the burial of the unknown soldier will
symbolic the burial of the old >har
barity of wars and that the distingu-

from California, or one from Maine

INVITATION
Dali Eireen Cabinet Discus
ses Lloyd Georges Bid
To Conference
ULSTER IS BARRIER
London Considers British Premier's
Note As Frank Diplomatic State
ment.

Dublin. Sept. 30.-Premier Lloyd
Georges communication is being con-
sidered by the Dali Elreann Cabinet
at the Mansion House yesterday even
rr 1t is believed the invitation will
be accepted. and it is generally hoped
delegates from the Dali will attend
the conference.
The consensus Is that Eamonn de
Valera should accept the invitation il
his case is not to be wholly prejudlced.
But inside Sim Fein opinion points
out that the irish leader must carry a
united Cabinet. and to do this plain
acceptance Of the conference invita-
ton, with all its implications is
scarcely likely. As the Crown Gov
efnmcnt makes England's position
clear, so the Dali Cabinet IS expected
20 make the Irish.
Therefore. it is argued, De Nalera's
reply. while accepting, is not likely to
ignore the implications in the Pre-
micrs note. He probably vii! restate
his position with regard to the irish
unity in the imperial association. 1t is
suggested last night, however, that
tactica! considerations may reserve
this claim OF unity for the confer
cnce Itself
In any case, the inside view of the
situation gives no solid foundation for
optimism. The feeling is strong that
the negotiations, even in the confer
once. must inevitably break down on
the Ulster question.
Lloyd Georges communication was
received over the Dublin Castle pri-
vate wire shortly after noon and I'M
mcdiately forwarded. De Valera and
Arthur Griffith were present when
il was received and their Cabinet col
leagues were summoned into council.
! rUc.. th.s consultation De Valera lett
the Mansion House. having called
full meeting Of the Cabinet for today
to consider his draft Of the reply. 1t
is reported that it is quite possible the
reply will not be issued today.
As was anticipated. the Lloyd
George note wraps up condition Of
allegiance to the British Empire in
words which make no apparent insist
cnce on this as a precedent to the con-
ference. 1t is no secret here that the
original draft strongly insisted upon
this condition in very plain terms, but
upon representation from Ireland, in
Spired by soundings Of Sim Fem
leaders, the Premier modified it.

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington. Sept. 3O.-The last
chapter in the famous Ford-Ncwberry
election contest has just about beer
written with the submission OF MN
ority and majority reports OF tnt
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections. 1t is certain that the Re
publican majority will seat Mr.. New
berry and deny the claims of Henry
Ford. Newberry will hold office untii
March 3, 1925, but it is extremely
doubtful if he can ever be elected;
again and the prospects are that ne
will refuse TO make the race in Mlcn-
igan again.
The Republican majority Of the
Investigating committee found that
entirely too much money was spent
in the famous primary of 1918 IN
Michigan and estimated the expenses
of nominating Newberry over Ford
at something like $l95,0OO. When il
is considered that Newberry Will
draw something like $4,000 for mis-
six years of service in the Senate, It
is obvious at once that Senate seats
are extremely valuable things and
are not appraised because Of cash
considerations.
The present national corrupt prac-
tees act, under which Newbcrry was
convicted and which was held Invalid
by the Supreme Court, prohibits the
spending of more than $4,000 by any
candidate but has the woeful weak
ness of putting on the government
the burden of proving that the can
didate had knowledge of the spending
of the money. There is no doubt bui
that in many other states Of the
Union thousands and thousands Of dol
lars have been spent in particular
cases to elect mon to the Senate anc
House and the law. such as it is, has
been violated dozens ana dozens OF
times. Agitations have been started
from time to time to put real tee'
in the present law OF to repeal it en-
tirely in favor of new law, but tn
agitati0nS have never got far be-
cause of the apparent unwillingneSs OF
the Republican majority TO put on
the statute books an enforceable sta
tute which would prohibit graft in
elections.
The most recent agitation was dur
ing the preconvention campaign Of
1920 when followers of Senator John
son Of California, deprccating the inn
mense sums that were spent for
General Leonard Wood. indicated they
would insist on Congress passing a
stringent law limiting campaign cx
penseS. But after the heat Of the bat
tie has passed. no one seems particu-
larly anxious to have a real law en-
acted now and the matter probably
viii rest until some future gIarine
