What Balance, as applied
to gasoline, means

Gasoline has several characteristics which
make it the ideal motor fuel. The natural
composition of the particular kind of crude
oil it is made from controls some of these
characteristics: the skill with which it is
refined determines the others.

Practically the entire development Of gaso-
line production for the last thirty years has
conferred around one problem: that of max
ing gasoline that would possess certain
necessary properties all Of which would be
in definite relation to each other, care
fully balanced; in other words, not too
much of one and too little of another.
Knowing this, it is not hard to understand
why experience is of such great Importance
in producing balanced gasoline, one that
is always easy starting, always develops
its full equivalent of power in your motor,
is always dependable as to mileage, clean
ness and economy. It takes a good deal
more than modern equipment, even as
necessary as that is, to refine balanced
gasoline.

And what Conoco, the Balanced
gasoline, means to the motor

The ability of Conoco Gasoline to start motor
promptly even on thin mixture is the result of
the liberal but not excessive low boiling point
fractions that it contains. It's ability to move
you slowly and steadily along in heavy traffic to
respond instantly to the urge of the accelerator.
to carry you swiftly over the long turnpikes in
the country at high mileage per gallon this
ability Conoco derives from the fact that it's
manufacturers know how to make perfectly
balanced gasoline.
Conoco, briefly, means more power because there
is less waste, less carbon because there is com
plete combustion, continual satisfaction and
economy because it's quality is always nnforr ~.

Anent Miss McCormick.

TT is bit rude, perhaps, that the public should
i take such interest in Miss Mathlde McCor-
mick's affairs of the heart.
The young lady already has received enough
publicity to make the fortune of an ambitious
actress. Unless published reports of her likes and
dislikes are misleading she does rejoice at this
The heiress of seventeen summers, probably, would
prefer to wed her Swiss riding master with gen
tlemen from the press peeping through the keyhole
But there is, all must admit, more occasion for
public interest in this affair than in the average
romance in high life. Some principles involved
and these brought out plainly by the action OF
Miss McCormick's mother, who seeks to prevent the
wedding by legal means.
We venture to predict that Mr. Max Oser is
about to lose his bride and incidentally her money
There are aspects to the whole affair which make it
considerably different from pretty romance Pub
lie Indignation usually descends upon wealthy par
ents who seek to blight budding of love in
the lives of their daughters for reasons OF family
pride. But in this the proletariat are more
apt to cheer for the mother.
If Miss Mccormick should elope with young
butcher from the Chicago stockyards nobody would
object. If she should wed secretly Windy City
policeman or a mechanic in her grandfather's har-
vester factory, the public would applaud. But
Americans are disgusted with international we'd
dings They angry, in the first place, that good
American dollars with the Yankee eagle on their
faces should be exchanged for the gilded trumpery
of titles. They take a certain pride in the great
fortunes which have been built up among them and
resent the prospect that these should be spent to
keep tumbedown castles intact rather than to build
skyscrapers.
Mr. Oser, it is true, has no title. His love for
Miss Mccormick may be sweet and sincere. But
the suspicion in the minds Of the people will not

both the Rockefellers and the McCormicks. These
families have produced some of the worthwhile men
in history.
1t is unnecessary here to mention the differ
ence in ages between Mr. Oser and Miss McCor-
mick. Happy marriages may be possible in such a
case They are not probable. The public would not
look favorably upon such alliance-not even if
it was between two Americans.
The public should be glad that Miss McCor-
mick's divorced mother has taken the stand she
has.

But the situation of the German citizens will

poorer living conditions. Their rivals lose every
