Profits Follow
Service

The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has been
called practical idealist,' because of its sane
appreciation of the relation between service and
profits. 1t realizes that profit is the only spur to
attract capital, which in turn makes the economi-
cal production of merchandise possible
1t is because the Company, by successful
management, far-sighted policies and insisting
that service is the surest guide to profit has been
able to earn satisfactory return for its stock
holders, that money has been available always
when further expansion of the business has been
necessary.
This Company realizes that profits always
follow intelligent service Without a genuine
service honestly rendered there can be no sus-
tanned profit. It is futile, therefore, to consider
profits at all without first considering the service
which produces them.
What the Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
does to create an essential service to 80 million
people in 10 Middle Western States must be con-
sidered necessarily before the reasonableness of
what it earns" can be. estimated.
The ramifcations of service as referred to above
are legion Delivering good product is only one
phase, and while of major importance, it is not
primary or even basic.
For service is efficient only in so far as it is
whole-souled and enthusiastic.
The Management of the Standard Oil Com
pany Qndiana) lays its cornerstone of service on
the foundation of taking sincere and keen in
terest in the welfare of the $1,000 men and women
who make up its organization.
For an employee to do good work-to do Justice
to himself and to his task-nust have a free and
easy mind without worry for the future.
The Management of this Company has provided
method whereby employees can accumulate-in
which the Company assists iberally-it has pro-
vided an insurance plan for the family of the
employe-it has provided competence for old
age or incapacity
The effect of these several plans has been to
promote harmony = enthusiasm - good-will-in
short, the spirit of service which makes money
for stockholders $1,000 of whom are employees
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) in MAX
ing profits for its stockholders is enabled to con-
tinue making petroleum products for its customers
thus increasing the national wealth, and enabling
our splendid modern civilization to move on
Wheels to the fulfilling of a continually greater
and more important destiny

STORM DANGER
SIGN IGNORED
SAYS HE|NEN
German Zeppelin Pilot
Declares Clouds
Showed Peril.

LAKEHURST, n. J.. Oct. 1.-tPl
The sign which the storm gave to the
airship Shenandoah before she was
wrecked is one of the greatest danger
signals of the air, Captain Anton
Heinen. former German Zeppelin pilot,
declared today before the naval court
Of inquiry here.
"When Lieutenant Anderson said he
saw storm clouds going apparently
against the wind" Heinen said, "he
was observing one of the biggest dan
ger signals we know of in the air.
This is one sign feared by airship-
men. have seen this several times
in my past experience and nothing is
more certain than that the course of
the ship should be changed at once"
AWAITED SIGN.
1t was when Anderson observed this
sign that he advised Commander
Zachary Lansdowne to turn to the
south but the captain decided to hold
his course until there was "a definite,
concrete danger sign"
Recalled to the stand after his tes-
llluOuN dHdlu kuo
cross examined by Lieutenant Com
mander c. Z. Rosendahl, senior sur
viving officer, and one of those held
by the witness to have failed to heed
danger signals long before the ship
got into the storm.
Asked as to what he thought of
Commander Lansdowne as an aerolo-
gist, Heinen said that officer was well
versed in the subject but that on this
occasion he made a mistake in judg-
ment because he had not a wide
enough experience in his past.
GOOD PILOT.
what is your opinion of Com
mander Lansdowne as a pilot:" asked
Rosendahl.
MY opinion was of the highest and
still is" Heinen said.
Was there any pilot in the United
States except yourself who could have
saved the Shenandoah" asked Ros'
cndahl.
Yes, Commander Lansdowne for
one" was the reply.
Coming back to the valves and he
lium Rosendahl wanted to know il
Heinen during his time with the Shen-
andoah had ever noticed hesitancy to
valve helium.
Even in my own BRAIN" the wit
ness said, there was registered the
necessity 10 save helium and not to
valve up to the last possible moment"
HESITATE TO VALVE.
"Then it was a question of judg-
ment when to valve?"
Yes"
Were you or anyone called to ac-
count for yalving helium?" ~
Not in the OPEN"
Captain Heinen disagreed with Col
onel Mitchell that there should have
been parachutes ON the Shenandoah.
Il would not permit any parachutes
in an airship," he said with emphasis.
Il might modify that by saying !
would not allow any of the present
type to be placed aboard the ship"

But where others played and went

The rest of the prty was warned TO

By this stage of the evening, none

Lou Rank Of Airmen
Shown in Directory

A casual glance at the pages of the
army list and directory devoted to a
record of officers of the several
branches of the army, will reveal one
of the chief causes of dissatisfaction
among pilots of the air service as de-
scribed BY firing officers who have
testified before the Presidents board
concerning conditions in the air serv-
ice.
The directory shows that there are
900 commissioned officers in the air
service and 1898 in the cavalry.
THREE AIR COLONIES.
In spite of this comparatively small
difference in number of officers in the
two branches. the air service has only
three officers with the rank Of colonel
as compared to IA colonies in the cav
airy.
The lack of proportion through the
two branches is made more emphatic
down through the grades. There are
ITO lieutenant colonies in the cavalry
against thirteen in the air service; 155
majors in the cavalry to 80 in the
air service: $50 captains in the cav
airy. 127 in the air service; 49, first
lieutenants in the cavalry, SO in the
air service; 135 second lieutenants in
the cavalry, las in the air service.
CAVALRY LEADS.
Although the preponderance OF
high ranking officers in other branches
of TIE service is not quite so high as
in the cavalry, every other depart
ment has a huge advantage over the
air service.
The infantry, the largest branch OF
the service. has about four times as
many officers as the air service. II
has twice as many lieutenants, nearly
twelve times as many captains, over
five times as many majors, almost
thirteen times as many lieutenant
colonies. and 65 times as many
colonies.

one Of the navy projects assailed by
Colonel Mitchell in his testimony be-
fore the board yesterday as showing
mismanagement Of the navy's air &C
tivities.
With several witnesses ahead OF him
on the list, however, there was some
doubt that Commander Rodgers would
be heard before tomorrow.
MITCHELL ON STAND.
Commander Rodgers arrived in
Washington yesterday to report on the
Hawaiian flight and appear before
the board just about the hour Colonel
Mitchell was berating the naval air au-
thorities before the board for anna
teur bungling" in arranging the at
tempted flight to Honolulu. Engineer
ing data showed. he said, that the
Hawaiian flight could not be made
with the planes used on one charge of
gasoline, and the predicament of the
PN-9 plane when forced down and
lost for a week might have been ex-
pectod.

linkd the Hawaiian flight with the
Shenandoah disaster and the navy's
