Who o#SsOw11s''
 Union Oil?
The answer is, 'qO2Oo people" of whom no one indi- Vidual owns more than per cent. Probably some of
 your friends are "owners."

M EN, women, children, widows, or. 4VA phans, employes, bankers, shop girls, doctors, lawyers, clerks, executives perhaps some friends of yours-are numbered among the stockholders of Union Oil Company of California.
 A community of people, not . group of caPitalists--a representative Ameri- can public, not few rich men or one or two wealthy "estates',-are che soWn. ers of Union Oil Company"
 A number of sO-called small people'' own as many as two shares-quoted on the market today at a price between S4O.OO and S5000-so their entire ''holdings" amount to the grand total of less than s100. Small savings-bue part ownership nevertheless, and Union Oil" welcomes all to ownership no mat Ger how small the holding.
 But we believe we are proudest to number among the names of our stock holders those of our own employees.

The reason is, because they know us best. Be- cause they are part of us. Know our intent, our ideals, our aims and aspi- rations. They know whether our standards are merely notices or are ac- tually adhered to. They know us as a family group, know one another, with out our company man ners' on.

MASS. MAN OFFERS
 BRIBE ID POLICE
State Policeman Says He Wanted
 Permit to Run Alcohol

Bridgeport, Conn, May 14 Gp =. Stanley Kokernake of Webster. Mass. alleged to have tried to bribe State Policeman George Web Der with intent to so influence the policeman's behavior that Koker- make could safely run alcohol through Connecticut, went to trial this morning before Judge John R. Booth. He waived his rights to a jury trial.
 Kokernake was declared to have visited State Policeman Webber's home in Ridgeheld on February 22 last. He had previously been in telephone communication with him and the policeman said he received him in accordance with instruc- tions from State Police Sergeant Kelly in charge of the Ridgefleld barracks.
 While one state policeman was concealed in an adjoining room and another was secreted beneath Q couch in the same room, Koker- make, Policeman Webber said, told him "business' was poor and that it was difficult to get alcohol in New York. He mentioned Con- stable Arthur J. Bennett of Fair field and Policeman Anderson of Darien and commented the gang would "get" them yet.
 Kokernake, the policeman testi- fled, asked him 10 get for him 6 list of the numbers on all automo- piles used by Connecticut state po- licemen; inquired how many police

COLLEGE IS NOT 50 POPULAR NOW
BTitOnS Fail to Find Lure That
 Americans Do

London, May If tPl - Going to a university is not nearly as fashion able in Great Britain as it is in the United States.
 In England and Wales the ratio Of students to the total population is one to 1,200. In Scotland there is one student to every 400 popuIa- tion, while in the United States the ratio is one to 800.
 Dr. Ernest Barker, principal Of Kings college, London told the Con ference of the Central Council of the Association of University Teachers that in his opinion Scotlanl's high percentage Of college students is due 10 its educational tradition, while in the United States universities have social vogue.
 Germany has one university stu- dent to every GOO persons, and Dr. Barker said this high average is due to the concentration in the uniyer- sities on legal training and training for the service of the state.
 England and Wales have S0,00o students now and pr. Barker does not expect that number to increase more than 10000 in the next two decades.
 He expressed the belief that 1t is desirable for this increased number of students to be scattered among small universities as larger univer- sities are apt to become "an agglu- tinative combination of separate de- partments, with teachers too numer- ous to know one another in address ing audiences of the dimensions of public meetings"
 In his opinion. big universities are apt to run to seed in Organization" and the heads of departments may become so consumed in management that they have little time for educa- tion. He said the true way for students to learn is to have personal touch with teachers, which may cas- fly be lost in great institutions.
 New universities in England are desirable, especially one in the southwest, said Dr. Barker.

 Finally Kokernake pulled out & wallet the policeman said, and handed him some money. Here" !" he told Policeman Webber. it is de- clared, 'is some cigar money" The policeman said he looked at the bill. "Twenty dollars" he declared, that's not cigarette money" Talk ing five dollars more from his purse Kokernake Is said to have given it to Policeman Webber with the eau ton: GO easy, I've got a wife and eight children at home.

MAKE MR. MARQUAMS MAJORITY DECISIVE

Former Mayor Thomas A. Marquam, of Fairbanks, ndependent candidate for delegate to congress- left u neau to carry his campaign into the other Divisions oil Alaska convinced that he will receive landslide vote m the First dvision He visited all the important points in the First division except Stka which he will visit upon his return to Southeastern Alaska early n October. He has left organization work in all the towns in the hands of committees that energetic and enthusiastic Every where he found the large ority of the people actively and earnestly supporting his candidacy.
 The people of Alaska have become sick and tired oT Delegate Sutherlands buncombe and failure to accOmp fish anything that is worth while. They realize, further more that his usefulness as representative m congress- if he had any long ago ceased for he has the con dence of neither the administration nor the leaders of either the majority or the minority in the senate or house of representatives
 On the other hand the ability of Mir. NarQuam and his comprehension of the needs of Alaska the sincerity of his desire to be of service to the Territory and his agreeable personality have greatly impressed all those with whom he has come in coltact The verdict is that he will make an efficient and desirable delegate to gress.
 Mr. MarQuam will make speaking tour of South eastern Alaska in October At that time the voters will find that he can handle himself on the stump we'll he handles himself in law courts where he is very cessfu practitioner
 The most important job the people of Alaska have for the next three months is to work together in harmony for the election of Mr. Marquam That he will be full there seems reason to doubt for moment but is desirable that his ory be large as possible If the contest to be decided by the white voters of the Ter rtory his majority would be overwhelming but there is
 large Indian vote that Mr. Paul has promised to deliver inability to make good that promise The majority for Mr. Marquam must be sweeping that 1t will be decisive if the Indian vote is cast solidy against hJuneau Empire.
