GIVES LIFE TO PROTECT
OTHERS FROM x-RAY

Paris.-rThe hidden God who does
not wish to give up his secrets strikes
down men who seek to take them"
said DR. Adolphe Leray, chief Of the
X-ray laboratory in the st. Antoine
hospital, shortly before he died at
Enghien
DR. Leray was a victim of what he
believed to have been successful
to find protection from the X-rays,
which have caused the slow death of
many scientists.
Research in an effort to afford pro-
lection to others was begun by DR.,
Leray after his hands had become af-
fected through the making Of $4,000
photographs in war work. For this
work he was decorated by the French
'Government. iS~ssxif''
Several of his fingers were ampu-
tated during his research work, but
he still persisted in It and told those
who begged him to desist that II was
the hidden hand OF God who desired
to retain his secrets who struck down
those who sought to unrayel them.

Service Spells sales.

Some people are accustomed to buy
ing their groceries by the quart, peck
or bushel But oftentimes they buy
by weight, and while they do they are
at loss to know exactly how much
to order.
An eastern retail concern makes II
easy for these customers to buy either
by weight or measure by displaying,
on the counters. signs that read as fol-
lows: ~ peck equals 81 pounds; "
peck equals 71k pounds"
This is real bit Of service for the
customers and does away with any en-
barrassment on their part in trying to
order by weight some bit of inerchan-
disc that they ordinarily buy by meas

HOME LOVE The BEST.

love that you are born to is the sweet
est that you will ever have on earth.
You. who are anxious to escape from
the home nest, pause a moment and

that the hour should come when you
in your time should become a wife and
mother and give the~best love 10 oth-
ers. but that will be just it. Nobody,
not a lover, not a husband, will ever
be so tender or so true as your father
and mother. Never again after strang
ers have broken the beautiful bona
will there be anything so sweet as the
little circle of fother, father and chill
dren where you were cherished, pro-
tected, praised and kept from harm.
You may not know it now. but you Will

TOR 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
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 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, namel y-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 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 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.

GREELY INCIDENT IN 1872

MT.

 We are today going through a world period analogous to that following the Civil war, and thoughtful students of history who were alive then are in terested to note interesting parallels.

HOME-OWNING NATION

From the Mobile Register
 The annual convention of the United States League of Building and Loan as sociations which was held in New Or leans Friday and Saturday is nationally most important event. These associa . tions are growing in strength every year and their growth is direct indica- tion of home building and ownership on the part of citizens, particularly cit izens of moderate income. A nation of home owners will be nation of home lovers. as some one has observed that home keeping hearts are fondest They are fondest of the communities in which they live and the government of which they form part. They are the nations best insurance against radical ism of all sorts and false doctrine. upow werful aid in financing homes for those who find it difficult to acquire sufficient capital in other. ways.

But, with all due respect to our English contem- porary, it must be pointed out that he did nothing of the sort If the Chronicle will examine the Imperial Dictionary, be- fore referred to, it will find 'normalcy already in use nearly 40 years ago as term in geometry meaning exactly in that science what MT. Harding employs it to express in industry and politics. Moreover, the Standard Dictionary ad-

-----------------7--8s-- DOCS HAVE THEIR DAY

From the Louisville Courier-J ournal
 Protests come from Vienna and Paris against richly gowned women who pat ronize expensive restaurants and feed their lapdogs beefstsak and lamb chops while children pick in piles of gar bage for sustenance." In British Par lament Lord Willoughby de Broke, bearer of title which dates back to the fifteenth century, excoriates women who smuggle a plague of muff-dogs into the land of the mastiff.
 It waS in the time of the second or third of the line of Barons to which Lord willoughby de Broke belongs that Shakespeare observed:
 Let Hercules himself do what he may, The cat will new and the dog will have
 his day"
 No doubt Hercules disliked lapdogs, as have a majority of the species since his day. No doubt Megara liked and kept lapdogs and Hercules knew no tri- umph over any lapdog Megara liked. al- belt he slew the lion of Mount Cithaeron to save the IlOCkS Ol AilpHili oii' chased into it's den and choked to death the lion of the forest of Nemea, invul- nerable to mortal arrows, ciubbsd the life out of the Lernaean hydra, cap tured the Erymanthan wild boar and carried it alive in his arms. led in the Cretan wild bull and fetched from Hell the three-headed dog Cerberus, which he took bare handed.
 Lord Willoughby de Broke, whose name lends itself to the purposes of the comic weeklies in America, but who is nevertheless very much of man, has tackled a task which may have been the thirteenth. and unlucky, labor of Hercules His effort is as hopeless as would be an effort to turn back the waters of Niagara or those of the Nile by standing and damning them from the shore.
