vOU, probably, don't think much \ about the gasoline and oil you use. You buy good grade. One makes your motor go. The other lubricates it. You don't check up very accurately on mile age or on costs. You simply get ''ten gallons" or "a quart" and off you go. It's rather impersonal.

 And yet gallon of gasoline and quart of oil are choek-full of personality!
 There is the personality of those ex- eremely human beings who are intensely interested in making theirs the best, even if it be by but shade-and there are people like that in oil companies, just as you may be like that in the business you are in.

Columbus and the Good Prior
a MERICA might not have been dis
n covered until years or even cen
turtles after 1892 If a child's thirst had
not changed the career of Christopher
Columbus.
A Genoese by birth but for many
years a mapmaker and navigator Of
Lisbon. Portugal, Columbus was only
one of number of savants who be-
lieved that the earth was round and
that new route to the East Indies
could be found by sailing west in the
Atlantic ocean. Prior to the age of
Columbus, men had come to believe
that the earth was round but they
thought that Europe rested at the
top of it. The middle Of the earth,
they imagined, was so heated by ver-
tical rays Of the sun that the ocean
boiled and neither animals nor plants
could survive in it, and beyond this
boiling sea began the downward slope
which would prevent the return of any
ship rash enough to sail so far.
Monstrous sea beasts inhabited this
upside down world and beneath it lay
hell as could be observed in the re-
Election of flames in the disk Of the
setting sun.
Early abandoning these superstitious
theories, Columbus devoted his lite to
study of nautical science and cos
biography. He longed to sail west
around the world, hoping to reach In
dia, the land OF marvellous riches, for
whose trade all Europe was scram-
bling. Refused assistance by the king
of Portugal, he carried his plans for
voyage of exploration to King
Ferdinand and Queen Isabella Of
Spain. These sovereigns were inter-
ested but the wise men of Spain ad-
vised against the voyage.
Tired and sick at heart Columbus
took his little boy and started to leave
Spain afoot intending to seek aid at
the court of France. On the way he
called at the franciscan Monastery La
Rabida to beg water and bread for his
little son. The prior, Juan Perez,
talked with the traveller and learned
Of his thwarted ambition. This prior.
who had been the confessor of Queen
Isabella, was convinced and sent to
the queen to beg an audience. He
succeeded in winning for Columbus
the opportunity he sought. Ships were
QUILTED and the daring voyage be-

,the Indies, the bold navigator discoy-
