ENOR many years the Standard Oil
L. 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
ment centers around the produce
ton and quality of "Standard"
Motor Gasoline.
AS a 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 obtainable at every
"%Standard" filling pump is i'm
proved not only in one particular
respect but in every way that has
a bearing on the actual perform
ance of motors.
The average gasoline user is not
aware of the large number of fac
tors that govern the quality of gaso-

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 a wealth of tech
nical 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 not 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 thepractice Of this
company to claim economies and
technical merits for its products
which the average motorist could
not prove for himself. Give sStand-
ard" Motor Gasoline a trial. This is
all we ask you to do. We r con-
fident that, purely on the basis ofits
performance and economy, you will
use it regularly. Try it today.

MIGHT LEARN FROM FRENCH
American Writer Of Opinion There Are
Things His Countrymen Could
Proftably Absorb.

They are a wonderful folk, these
French, and there is no people from
whom Americans can learn more of
the art Of living. While we, with our
high rents, are harassed by the ques-
ton of where to live, they, IN spite OF
their high rents, think only Of how to
live. We would do well to spend less
thought on the abode and more on the
mode We could learn from them to
forget our national timidlty and TO dis
cover our next-door neighbors says
writer in Leslies.
The contrast between the excited
buzz and chatter and gayety that
strikes one on entering even the most
homely French restaurant and the
frightened ana tremuous whispering
thrown In between long intervals Of
! logged eating that goes on in our own
restaurants IS enough TO shame any
good American We could learn from
them to put aside our little pamphlets
on Facts About Sugar long enough
to enjoy the beauty Of hillSide-and
still make enough money out Of the
sugar business
! Our shopkeepers could learn that
1 polteness does not drive away trade.
We could have learned, alas, how to
drink and how not to drink behind
swing-doors or too strongly or too
much. The American business man
who hopes to do business with the
French must learn TO deal with for
eigners as well as they do and not to
look upon what seems to him an eX-
aggeratcd poiteness as a rich bit Of
comedy a fault Of which our business
men are, unfortunately too often gull
ty.

Philippines Lumber
Will Nearly Care for
All Needs of Far East

Manila. Sept. 1.-(By Associated
Press. There is enough timber in
the Philippine Islands to take care
OF most of the lumber industry Of
the Far East. according to Major
General Leonard Wood, who has Just
traversed the archipelago from
Northern Luzon to the Visayan Is
lands
Few people appreciate the enor-
nous resources in the islands in the
way of lumber, much of it of the
most valuable kind" he said Near
ly 2O.WO,OO0 feet of it was cut in
1920, Of which in the neighborhood
,of 15,O0.00O was exported.
I'm ordinary years there ought to
be an enormous amount availa BILE
for export. Now is the time to init
ate those wise forestry measures
which would insure the repla cement
of the trees cut. These forests are
full of the most valuable woodss and
there is possibility of great develop
ment in the production of rubber,
camphor, etc, also an enormous
amount Of other forest and Jungle
products.
"Lumbermen in the islands ought
to unite so as to have better market
ing of their products abroad. In
other words, here is "a great industry
which can be developed on sound
lines and reproduction of the forest
assured"
w. Cameron Forbes, former Gov
ernor General Of the Philippine Is
lands. predicted a great future for
the lumber industry of the islands.
He said:
ION my way to the Philippine Is
lands for the first time in 1904. 7
stopped at the forestry exhibit of the
Philippine government at the st.
Louis fair ! was literally carried
off my feet by the beauty and SPLEEN
dor of the Philippine woods there
displayed. Right then and there I
made up my mind That it was one of
my ambitions to have certain rooms
in whatever house I might build in
the future, finished with especially
fine panels of selected Philippine
woods. During my 10-years stay in
the islands. l collected a consider
able quantity of these woods took
the risk of their not standing the
American climate, and sent them
home. The wood has stood wonder
fully we'll and seems to be as good
today as when first put in and is the
admiration Of everybody who visits
my house just outside Of Boston. I
am sure that the lumber industry OF
the Philippines has marvellous fu-
ture."
A: F. Fischer director of forestry
OF the Philippine Islands, estimates
there are 72,224 square miles of
standing timber in the. Philippines.
and that on this area the stand of
timber is 5000 ZOO. 900 board feet.

Eve Accidents One
Of Chief Sources
of AVoidable Waste

New York, Sept. 24.-Eye accidents
in industrial plants are one of the
chief sources of avoidable national
waste, says report Of the Commit
tee on Elimination of Waste in In
dustry of the American Engineering
Council made public tonight.
The total number Of industrial
blind in the United States is given as
Is, OOONor 1873 per cent. of the total
blind population, in the report which
embodies the results of an investi-
CATION conducted in many states in
connection with the assay of waste
in basic industries started by Her
bert Hoover.
The eye, it is declared, is involved
in JOG per cent. of all permanently
disabling industrial accidents.
The report blames irregule.rity in
reporting the facts as to number, Sc
verify and time loss among workers
for incomplete knowledge of the
situation. This irregularity persists
in spite OF uniform forms recon-
mended.
Protective methods as applied in
large plants have effected a great
reduction in injuries, it is stated.
The use OF goggles is one of the
chief protective devices.
The report also charges industrial
waste to sub-normal vision and faul-
tv lighting. That correction of sub
standard vision produces an increase
in return that will pay for its cost is
the conclusion of the management in
plants where several years OF trial
has provided basis for judgment"
continues the report.
1T has been shown that improved
lighting systems increased output
two per cent. in steel plants and as
MUCH as 10 per cent. in shoe facto-
ries where work is more exacting.
These are very definite figures de-
termined under an accurate survey.
The cost for providing adequate
illumination for the entire industry
Of the country would amount to one
