TINE man who fills his tank at a
Service Station, or feeds his trac-
- tor froaH tank wagon, may not
realize it but sheer efficiency on the part
of the Standard Oil Company Nndiana)
is to large degree the reason why the
gasoline is there when be wants it.
Oil News says: During the winter
l921-1922 the majority of the refnerieS
in the Mid Continent field were idle
This was due largely to the fact that
they could not refine and sell at a profit.
They were IN a way inefficient Many
could not operate. Others that might
have operated could not get the crude.
The large plants could and did finance
themselves and sold some of their out
put as they made it at profit -
Keen eficiency-in small, as well as in
big things, has enabled the Standard
Oil Company Indians) to refine and
sell petroleum products at a fair profit,
under the most competitive of business
conditions
The Standard Oil Company Ondiana)
has 1000 competitorSin the Middle West.
Standard Oil Company Qndiana) eff
cheney runs through every operation. 1t
governs the appointment of executives
1t selects oil men of long training and
experience who know when and what
type of crude to buy. 1t directs the style
of machinery, the kind of stills to be
used. 1t determines the various products
to be refined from the crude so that
there may be no waste of oil, effort,
time or overhead.
This efficiency, and the confidence
which the public places in it, enables
the Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
to maintain its position as the leader in
the industry. 1t enables the manage
ment TO plan for the future with conf
dence, and to keep its rcfneries going
during periods of low consumption that
it may be in position to meet adequately
the unusual demands during periods of
greater consumption.
1t is this efficiency which has spotted
the country with bulk and service sta
tons and caused more than 5000 motor
tank wagons TO traverse the streets and
highways supplying the people every
where with first quality petroleum
products at prices which are fair.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
submits that such efficient management
is the essential basis of the valuable
service it renders

HARDING IS FACING
 MEXICAN PROBLEM
New Outrage.s in Southern Republic Have Produced Serious Crisis;
 40 Americans Prisoners.

Washington, June 27.-Holding of 40 American citizens for ransom by a Mexican geenral near Tampico, con- ing on the heels of the kidnapping of A. Bruce Bielaski, former chief of the Bureau of Investigation of the Depart ment of Justice, has produced another crisis in American relations with Mex Iico.
 The two incidents have served to call in question President Obregon's s power to protect Americans in Mexico and to bring the Harding adminstra- tion face to face with the problem of enforcing respect for Americans and their property rights.
 Although the customary representa- tions have been made to the Mexican government by the State Department, the use of armed forces by the United States to rescue the imperiled Ameri- cans and provide for their future pro- lection has been broached in the coun- cils of the administration.
 Warships and troops from the Mex ican border could reach Tampico with in three days from the issuance of or ders, but it was said at the Navy De- partment tonight that no steps had been taken in that direciOn. The cruiser Galveston is now at Guantana- mo bay, Cuba, and the cruisers Birm- ingham, Tacoma and Cleveland are at the Panama Canal. Admiral Will liam Cole commands the latter squad ron and Capt. David Hanrahan com mnds the Galveston.
 Americans and Property Seized.
 The 49 American citizens and Amer ican property valued at a quarter of million dollars are being held for ransom by the Mexican General Goro- zabe. The seizure occurred Sunday morning and IS hours from that time was allowed for the payment of $15,- GOO pesos ransom.
 The property belongs to the Cortez Oil Company, an American concern carrying on extensive operations in the Tampico field. The property seiz- ed was located at the Aguade station of the company, and the 40 Americans reported captured are believed to have been connected with the company, or at least connected with the oil indus 1 try in that region,

Cox Takes Fling at President Before
 Sailing fer Europe.

New York, June 2S-Taking fling at the Harding administration for it's attitude toward the League of Ma tions, the tariff and other issues James M. Cox of Ohio, Democratic can didate for president two years ago, sailed for Europe today to witness what he describes as "the consequence es of the steady flow of doing nothing by the present administration at Washington"
 He said he would motor through every continental country except Rus sia in making his study of economic conditions overseas. The trouble with the present Washington administration as Governor Cox diagnoses, it is it's failure to lock beyond the end of it's nose"
 American trade relations with Flu rope must be promoted and that in- wolves the purchase of our surplus supplies, which in turn involves ere dit" he said When I get back I hope to find Germany we'll on it's way into the League of Nations Every day con- firms my faith in the league. The sol ution of all our economic problems lies in our entry into the league.
 America has leadership both mor- al and financial which must be upheld.
 Our present administration is fam atical in it's belief that the League of Nations has nothing to do with the in- ternational court of justice. Therefore, our administration will not consider it. The administration mistake is in bending backward in avoiding the league. The tariff is another case point on the attitude of the admir- tration which looks no further 2 than the end of it's nose. Nov just as impossible to do that in
 cial way as in government ma

RAIL SHOPMEN VOTETO
 WALK OUT SATURDAY
Strike of 100000 Workers Seems to Re ..,IIn IInfexitable-Million May
 Quit Work.

Chicago, June 27-Approximately 100000 railroad shopmen will go ou. on strike next Saturday unless the carriers meanwhile meet every de- mand of the unions, B. B. Jewell, head of the shopcrafts, announced tonight through telegram to T. Dewitt Cuyler of New York, chairman of the Asso- citation of Railway Executives.
 To forestall general walkout, the ultimatum indicated, railway manage ment must agree to ignore the recent United States Railroad Labor Board order authorizing $5O,O0O,00O cut in the annual payroll of shopmen, must restore certain working rules which the Labor Board has eliminated. and must abolish the system under which some roads have let out work to con- tractors not within the jurisdiction of the labor board.
 JewelPs Hast word," it seems in railway circles, has made strike of his men inevitable, as there seemed little liklihood that the carriers will seriously consider his demands.
 The telegram, signed by MT. Jewell in the name of Section 2, (the ma chinists' section Railway Employees Department of the American Federa- tion of Labor, made the general state ment that the counting of strike bal lots boiled by the organization has shown the rank and file "overwhelm. ingly" in favor of a walkout. No fig ures were cited The count has not beencompleted
 Maintenance Men May Quit. While indications are that more than 5O0,O00 maintenance of way employees may also go on strike as protest a. gainst the 50,OOO,O0O wage reduction ordered by the Labor Board-effective next Saturday, as that of the shopmen I-Jewelfs telegram was not construed as speaking for them.
 However, E. F. Grable, head of the
 
 which has headquarters in Detroit, has been in Chicago two days and is re- ported to have sat in at conferences that resulted in tonight's ultimatum. The strike decision, following two days conference, was sanctioned, it was said, by six international union nroci6ante cOnctitu+;Dor or +, ,,,ooI,. p;ooI section of the railway employees de- partment. These are: William H. Johnston, International Association of Machinists; J. w. Kline, International Brotherhood of Blacksmiths, Drop Forgers and Helpers of America; J. A. Franklin, International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Shipbuilders and Helpers of America; J. J. Hynes, Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers h. ternational Alliance; James P. Noon an, International Brotherhood of Eiec- tcical Workers. and Martin F. Ryan, Brotherhood of Railway Carmen Of America.
 Reports from the Detroit headquart~ CTS ot the maintenance of way men, Wheer counting of strike ballots is well under way, are that these work CTS strongly favor Q Walkout.
 Union officials seem confident that any strike call will bring nearly L. 100000 men from their jobs. It has been announced that while the clerks and signal men are polling no general strike vote, they may strike on cer~ tain roads.

The New and the Old.

WYE had occasion recently to talk with a
w dealer in mems clothing whose store is
located in prominent District neighborhood He
is elderly who has made great deal of
money in past years. He is firm believer in
the business methods of 1875 and is utterly at
loss to understand why his trade has slipped away
from him.
The people around here are too stuck up"
he said. They want the neighbors to see the
delivery trucks from the big down town stores
stop in front OF their houses. When they come
to me just wrap up the bundle and they have
to lug it home They go to -"
On the same day talked with another man
who recently has opened a small auto accessories
store. He is enthusiastic.
Il Odpect to clean up $4,000 this year." he
said. i've got idea about keeping three trucks
on the road all the time to give service to drivers
when their machines break down 1t will not cost
much when l consider the extra business it is
sure to bring in. The idea is sure to 90 over"
We have no doubt but that the first speaker
will go out OF business soon. He wants to- He
is utterly disguised with the ways of the new
generation-asking for delivery service and refusing
to lug bundles home.
We have little doubt, the other hand, but
that second business will make his $4,000
He is OF the generation and understands it.
He was born with the idea that service pays and
that people have right to expect service
The FIRST business made some sarcastic
remarks on the value of advertising Let people
come to my store if they want to know what
I've got he said. 81 won't bite them"
This is in line with the old fellows general
attitude He cannot understand advertising because
he cannot understand the general idea of service
saeable commodity. He cannot understand
that customers OF today demand deliveries and
that advertising is part Of delvery-perhaps the
most important part.
The other man understands this He will
advertise well keep his service trucks on
the road.
The clash between the new and the old ways
must result in the defeat of the old The world
moves faster today. People are buster The old
merchant mentioned i'll the first instance doesn't
know that customers will not carry home bundles
because they too busy with their own concerns
to bother with such details. He thinks they are
too proud-which is the most erroneous concl-
son possible from the facts
