Q.--Does organized labor favor the
expansion of State militia forces!

Q.-Does organized labor favor the
expansion of State militia forces!
A.-The 1922 convention Of the
American Federation Of Labor said
'sThe A. F. of l.. demands that the
principal of reduction of armament
and of military force be applied, not
only to nations, to prevent their war
ring on each other, but even more
stringently to such forms Of military
organizations as are most frequently
used against the toilers of our couh-
try, namely, the State constabulary
and the State militia.
Q.-Who IL Peter J. Brady?
A.-Peter J. Brady is president Of
the Federation Bank of New YORK,
now the largest labor bank in the
East.
Q.-What is now the purchasing
power of the dollar?
A.-The dollar started the year
1926 with a purchasing power oil %
cents, compared with the year 1913
when the dollar is accepted arbitrarily
as having a purchasing power OF lOO
cents. This reckoning is based on the
purchasing power of the dollar in
wholesale markets throughout the
country. When it is said that the
dollar has a purchasing power of 64
cents, the understanding is that what
100 cents will buy now it would have
taken only GA cents to purchase IN
1918.

WOOLLEN TELLS
BANKERS ABOUT
FARM PROBLEMS
Speaks at Annual Meeting of
State Association at
Lafayette.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. 22.-
Evans Woollen president of the
Fletcher Savings and Trust Com
pany, Indianapolis, spoke today at
the annual meeting of the Indiana
Bankers Association on "The Agri-
cultural Problem" The speaker, who
discussed existing troubles of agri-
culture from many angles, is chair
man of the Economic Policy Com
mission Of the American Bankers
Association and is Democratic candl-
date for the United States Senate to
fill out the unexpired term OF the
late Senator Ralston.
Mr.. Woollen's address, in part, fol-
lows:
Social solidarity and economic
strength in the. United States are
based on the farm.
Economic Gulf
"Since 1920 an economic gulf be-
tween agriculture and other business
undertakings has been of serious pro-
portions. 1t has great significance.
It concerns the Mississippi Valley in
a special manner. By all tests this
Nleritage of land ought to be without
u superior as a source of material
gain for it's occupants.
1.-TWO aspects Of the farm problem
appear on the economic side. The
farmer by his patriotic endeavor to
win the war with food, stimulated
agriculture to abnormal production.
1.-THE. long-term aspect of the prob
lem goes back into the last century.
The complaint then in some quarters
was that agriculture was so attrac-
tive that capital would not flow into
industry on the scale desired. AS a
4 consequence of that and other argu-

Approximately 2,842, 100000 gallons of gasoline
were produced from heavier oils by the use of
cracking processes in 1925, according to an nfor-
nation circular issued by the u S. Bureau ofAines.
Assuming that 400 gallons of gasoline represents
the fuel requirements of the average car per year,
the Bureau of Mines statement means that the
development of cracking processes, in which the
STANDARD Oil Company Qndiana) is leader, was
responsible in 1925 for adding to the worlds out
put, years supply of gasoline for 100000
automobiles.
Measured thus in terms of automobile transporta-
ton, the relation of the cracking process to modern
life is readily understood. Its Importance can be
better appreciated by some knowledge of the
problem it has helped to solve.
During the ten year period, 1916 to 1926 the pro-
duction of crude oil increased 1920 while the num-
Der of cars and trucks registered increased 4729o
A tremendous increase in demand for gasoline, the
finished product, without a corresponding increase
in the supply of crude, the material, presented
real problem.
Experts predicted there would not be enough gaso-
line to go around and that prices, would soar
prohibitively. IN
Today with approximately 21,00O,000 registered
automobiles in the country, it is obvious that their
predictions would have materialized but for
revolutionary discovery.
Scientists in the laboratories of the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) discovered and developed pro-
cesses for producing gasoline by cracking which
more than doubled the yield from crude oil.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) leased the
processes which belonged to it exclusively, to
competitors
That the 81 100000 motorists in the United States
today are able to buy all the gasoline they need at
low price is due in large measure to the scientific
work of the Standard Oil Company Qndiana) and
it's integrity of purpose in passing on the benefits of
that work.
This important scientific service of the Standard
Oil Company Undiana).is but one incident in its
long recordof unwavering loyalty to the motoring
public. ~
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) is proud of
the work it has done for it believes that any con-
tribution to the work of the world-large or small
-justies legitimate pride when it represents the
utmost ability Of an individual or an organization.
The extent of the service which the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) wishes to render to the thirty
million people of the Middle West is limited only
by its ability.

To as great degree as Chap
lin, Langdon manages to COM
bine an, impression of pathetic
physical heIpIessness with leo
nine fearlessness. The audience
foresees his defeats while he's
still weighing his chances for
triumph. This Of course makes
for concentrated absurdity that
is head and shoulders above
the straight comedy line.
In the beginning Of this pic
ture, Langdon is 4 frail wisp in
the Belgian gunnerv, forgetting
the necessity for decimatingf
Germans, the while he contel1l-
plates a picture Of Mary, who
writes to him after the fashion
of youngsters over the world
who encouraged the soldierys in
the trenches. A giant Boche,
who turns out to be a profess
sional strong man, captures him,
tucking him under q Gargar-
tuan arm, scurrying with him
towards the Homeland trenches

New York. A lady pick
pocket drops pilfered roll into
Langdon's pocket, just as a de-
tective taps her on the shoulder.
Her efforts thereafter to regain
the money, make for excruiat-
ing comedy. Lured, finally to
her apartment, she tackles him
with pantherish ferocity for the
elusive wad, he thinking she is
trying to seduce him and far
from any such mood he is, think
ing of the lovely Mary. Well,
it's shriekingly funny but the
funnier scenes are to come.
Enroute in bus to an up.
state town for the strong mans
first engagement, Mr.. Langdon
is constantly affronted by a
swarthy gentlman alongside him.
Here the Langdon eyes are de-
molishing to any with a sense
of humor. You can see him
appraising his tormentor, con-
signing him to unspeakable
fates, estimating his own chances
at doing the job. Then, a short
jab from Mr.. Langdon, about
two inches in sweep, such as a
baby let's loose upon first dis
covering it's mother has a chin.
Mr.. Langdon, of course, is en-
phatically flattened after this
gesture and tossed out of the
bus. 1t is the unconfidence of
this blow, that is so pathetically
funny, as are one, or two sub
sequent ones, let loose in later
scenes; confessions of made
quacy even as they're let loose
and symbols of expectancy thar
he knows he'll be mauled to bits
the next moment.

Again where Langdon is COM
PEELED to substitute for his boss,
before a tough dance hall mob,
his comedy is equally tragedy
for the sense of futility it con-
veys, eliminating in pie-era bur-
lesque when the Bacchic temple,
long an eyesore to the citizenry,
crumbles under bursts of a
property cannon, manipulated
by the interchangeable Langdon..
If you want to see a comedy
that has every ingredient for
perfect diversion, don't omit
