Swimming an Insurance.
-enca Telarram

From the Lawrence Telegram.
The man or woman who can swim
is insured, in a way, against disaster.
When we insure our houses against
fire or our industry against theft
and when we insure our lives we do
not do so in the belief that we are
going to suffer from fire or theft. or
because we expect TO die the next
day. We hope cur houses will never
burn: we hope our property will not
be stolen; we hope to live for years.
So it is with swimming. We do not
learn to swim because we think we
may find ourselves struggling tomor-
row in the water. But, if we should
find ourselves struggling in the water
how much better II is to know some
thing about keeping oneself afioat.

REPUBLIC IN RHINE,
OR new STATE, seen
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NE" YORK, July 30.-Creation of
new state or republic on the west
bank of the Rhine appears to be the
ouly possible solution of Germany's
troubles, according to an opinion ex-
pressed yesterday by Herr Fritz Haber
or the German ministry of instruc-
tton. who arrived on the Hansa.
Herr Ha6er expressed belief that
the revolutionary outbreaks predicted
for Sunday had not materialized. but
he took pessimistic view of condi-
tions in his homeland.
Herr Haber, a professor of the Uni
versity OF Berlin, winner of the Nobel
prize in chemistry in 1918, was accom-
Profs. Hans Eitch, Frederick Mathis
and Walter Zisch-and their work in
a specially fitted up laboratory on
the Kansas deck excited great in
terest among the passengers.
Four times the vessel was stopped
while the trio lowered over the side
metal plates. which were allowed to
dangle In the water as the steamer
proceeded. Prof. Haber said the OBJ
jcct of his trip was to test the activ-
tty of salt water on certain metals,
but he declined to indicate what prac-
teal results he hoped to achieve.
One of the rumors among the pas
sengers was that Prof Haber was
trying to develop means of making
to run electrically propelled vessels
But the scientists were mum They
said they would continue their exper-
iments on the way back on the Hansa

Mr.. Stewart. n first witness to
testify. regarding the affairs of the
Standard of Indiana, presented detail.
ed figures as to cash and stock divi,
dends. surplus and net earnings OF
his company He also recited the
steps In h organization Of the com.
pany and the acquisition of It's two
subsidiaries. the Dixie OIL company
and the Chicago and Montana OIL
company.
After Mr.. Stewart had testified to
the famous 1900 per cent. stock dIvi-
dend OF the Standard of Indiana in
1919 and had told of the $50 per cent
stock dividend IN 1917 and the 100
per cent. dividend declared last
month. the committee attorney adopt
ed a composition to show that the
holder of one share OF the company's
stock in 1912 now would own stock
having a value, en- the basis of New
York curb quotations Of $4,000.
Mr.. Stewart said this calculation
WAS 'arithematically correct"
The witness, IN addition to present
ing the cash dividend declarations
since dissolution, went over the list
of similar dividends before the Stand
ard OIL company was dissolved by
order of tho supreme court, starting
with 1902. These dividends included
the 1,40O per cent declaration of 1907
and never fell below 900 per cent in
the ten year period.
Net earnings Of the Standard of
Indiana since the disposition were
shown by figures given by Mr..
Stewart TO have totalled approx
mately s259, 900 900 up to last June
30. He gave the net earning for the
first six months OF 1922, without
deduction of taxes, as SO, 5Z1 900 but
when pressed for an estimate of the
earnings for last six month said they
probably would not be as much.
Mr.. Stewart said that although the
Standard of Indiana owne virtually
all of the stock of the Midwest Re
filming company of Denver It could
not be c'assed as a subsidiary as the
Standard had not attempted to con.
troll It.
Neither. he said, could the Sinclair
Pipe Line company nor the Sinclair
Crude OIL Purchasing company be
called subsidiaries although the
Standard owned half of tho stock.

testified, acquired the Dixie OH com.
