TOR many years the Standard Oil
IL Company New Jersey has main
tanned 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 result of continuous research
work and exhaustive, practical road
tests conducted by this Department,
we are able to announce the pro-
duction of 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
bearing ON the actual perform
ance of motors.
The average gasoline user is not
aware of the large number of fac

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
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 much so that you
will quickly notice the difference.
1t has never been the practice 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 a trial. This is
all we ask you to do. We are con-
fident that, purely on the basis Off
performance and economy, you will
use it regularly. Try it today.

By Associain.I Press

New York, August 27-Represen- tatiye Isaac Segel of this city. d member Of the House immi gra { lon committee, estimates that in Greater New York there are 1,032, 000 adults not citizens of the United States. This. he says. Is a dangerously large proportion of aliens in a city whose total population is approximately 5,600.O00.
 To offset this condition it Is planned to conduct an intensive drive this fall to gather these aliens into the United States fold and civic, state and national bodies will assist in speeding up naturalization.
 Early in October, President Hard- ing will be invited to address a gatn ering of 15,000 new citizens in this city.
 A systematic campaign is under way in Brooklyn to enroll new ci,- iaens. Judge Cropsey will sit prac- ticaily all sumner in the natural- ization court 'and under present are arrangements will turn out a daily average of 800 new citizens
 All told it is estimated that in Greater New York there will havs been added by the end of Octob. r enough new voters to increase .he nations electorate by at least S0,0t1.
