STANDARD OIL ANSWERS CRITICS. j..
COVERING RANGE OF SUBJECTS

The Standard Oil company New
Jersey, in statement issued
through the May issue Of The Lamp,
has taken the public into it's conf
dence in discussing affairs and poll
cies.
1t asserts that the motives of the
recent Senate subcommittee utter
anaes were entirely political, and
discusses the Standard Oil in foreign
commerce.. The article says:
"In view of the scramble for new
oil fields which is one Of the underly-
ing issues in present international
| politics, the reference of the Stand
ard Oil company New Jersey to its
| foreign relations will perhaps prove
of greatest interest to the average
American citizen. AS proof of its

large petroleum unit interested in
these areas. but with other Standard
Oil companies engaged in like en-
deavor.

subcommittee on this subject, wher

AT THE MOVIES
CAPITOL

Tom Mix, the popular star Of the
Fox constellation, was once named oy
a newspaper critic "the movie hero
who never made failure" and, ever
since, Toms one ambition has been 20
live up to the criterion which the
newspaper writer had set for him.
That he has been able to achieve
this goal is attested by the vast fol-
lowing of fans who acclaim him the
greatest screen hero of his type.
That Tom deserves the praise he has
received is easily demonstrated by
his work in the latest William Fox
production. "Just Tony" which comes
to the Capitol Theatre next Thurs
day.
'Just Tony also features Mix's
noted horse, "Tony." and was written
by Max Brand as noyel under the
original title of "Alcatraz." l nthis
photoplay of romance and friendship
and western valor, Tom again rides
the edges Of a pantomimic hell,
shoots with the accuracy of super
natural aim, and fights for the love
of a beautiful woman in such fashion
as to thrill the most blase of picture
gOerS.
That Tom is assured of success in
his new venture is certain. Pictures
like "Just Tony" will not make the
star fall short of his "never made ,
failure" slogan. And once again he
clinched his reputation as a versatile
star with the brand new role he plays
Ia role that beside being pleasing
and refreshing, is most difficult
one to enact. S' ~

engineers not agreeing with the fig
ures of the pump men.
The first speaker was for the Bach
arach company on the filtration plant
installation. During thes discussion,
which grew somewhat informal, it
was explained that one man only
would be needed to operate a filtra-
tion plant, and probably but an hour
day of his time would be consumed.
The representative figured the cost
of operation at less than one cent per
thousand gallons of water.
A filtration plant, he claimed
would remove SO percent of the living
germs. He said that some chemical
would be used at all times, and more
than ordinarily in the spring Of the
year when the river is high. He
claimed that about three fourths less
chlorine would be used than is used
in the present plant.
Regarding cost of operation he said
water would drop by gravity from
the settling basin to the filter and
then to the clear we'll, and that the
only cost would be a loss of about
10 feet in head during the process
The water would have to be RAISED
this 10 feet again by pumping.

each, and he said an overload coult
be carried to produce 100000 gal
Ions of water day.
He said the same company had in
stalled a plant at Great Falls, Mon
tana, where the water is muddiel
than at Bismarck. The worst place

that the penalty was inserted simply
for protection because it didn't know
what legal action might be taken.
The provision with regard to salts
factory evidence to pay cash was ne
ccssary, he said, because the east
iron pipe production was based on
high production and small per ton
profit. He said, however, that the
company believed in helping out the
city and would cooperate in every
way possible.
He was asked if he would elimin-
ate from his bid some items so that
if the city took over the present wa
ter plant it could accept from the
bid 'pipe for new mains. He said
that he would take this matter W
with the company.
Mayor Lenhart said the city would
have to make proposition on the
present water plant.

service to the American people it
seeks the cooperation, the sympathy
and the support of the government
and of the nation
"The investment of the Standard
Oil company New Jersey in it's
foreign business, including its float
ing business equipment, was at the
end of 1921 in the neighborhood of
$3.50, 100000. 1t is not only the larg-
est American shipping concern, but

panies of the world reported in
Lloyd's Register, the Standard Oil
company New Jersey is the only
American name to appear. With the
one exception of U. S. Shipping Board
tonnage, the American flag is seen
in more foreign ports through the
medium of the Standard Oil company
New Jersey than through any other
agency.
+ "On the subject of the ownership
of Standard Oil company New Jer-
sey) the most interesting statement
made is that there are now over Co.
600 names on the stock list. The
ownership of the company is passing
every year more largely into the
hands of general public, and there is
no control by any individual or by
any group"

tor LaFollette that "dollar gas" is

that out of every dollar received
from consumers in the last. two and a
half years the company has retained

With regard to salaries of direc-
tors, it says that every director OF
the company is in charge of some big

1t declared that the most severe
competition exists in the petroleum
industry, and that existing companies
