Science is the soul and the prosperity of nations
and the living source of all progress, said Pasteur.
Science has been the living source of the progress
of the Standard Oil Company Qndiana). This
Company has always represented partnership of
practical industry and research.
Research laboratories where scientific investiga-
tons may be carried on with the greatest facility
are an important part of the equipment OF the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana).
Of all the tremendous labor undertaken by the
Standard Oil Company Qndiana), the most impor-
tant to the notorist, but perhaps the least known
to him. is the research work of the Company.
The labor of drilling a we'll or building service
station is apparent to the most casual observer,
whereas the labor of developing processes for pro-
ducing gasoline by cracking, for example, is incon
ceivable to the average man.
The development of commercially successful
processes for producing gasoline by cracking is one
of the achievements of the research laboratories of
the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), the results
of which are appreciated easily.
Over three billion additional gallons of gasoline
are produced annually by this method. Without
it, there would not be enough gasoline today-and
prices would be prohibitive.
Every man. woman and child in the entire cot1n-
try has been benefited by this research work of the
Standard Oil Company Qndlana).
Although the benefits of producing gasoline by
the average otorst is ignorant of the work behind
it. He knows nothing of the days and nights of
patient study, the diSheartening difficulties to be
faced the immense amount of effort, that are part
of the history of this as of every other scientific
discovery.
Like most precious things, information is found
In small quantities and the finding involves maxi
mum amount of slow, painstaking work. Each
product of the Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
has long history of such work behind it.
Scientific work goes on every day in the labora-
tories of the Standard Oil Company Qndana),
where men are correatng theory and practice, and
out of actual experience developing new knowledge,
founded on facts already known.
The work IF these scientists is a small but most
important part of a great whole. 1t is the living
source" of the progress of the Standard Oil Com
pany Qndiana) progress in applying all the knowl-
edge of the hour to supplying the petroleum needs
of the people of the Middle West-progresS in
serving them faithfully and well.

Mr.. Fixit has received numerous
complaints in the last two weeks
about the condition of streets and
sidewalks.
Dear Mr.. Fixit: The stretch OF
sidewalk along e. Sixteenth st. IS
Brookside Pkwy.), between Olney and
Gale Sts., is in a deplorable con-
dition these slushy days, as it always
is and has been for years whenever
it is rainy or snow and ice are melt
ing. The walk being lower than adj
joining lawns and also lower than
the public lawn between it and the
street "a so.called boulevard is
covered with water which does not
drain off and it is difficult to walk
over until the water has time to
evaporate. Surely something can be
done to remedy this, inasmuch as
this portion of sidewalk passes in
front of the home of a brother of
Mayor Duvall.

putting down new concrete walk.

body may bring to completion by the
end of 1923 an unbroken concrete slab
from the Great Lakes to the Pacific.
Practically all of the route through
Illinois and Missouri has been paved

able distance are paved also in the
other states. Every mile of the high
way has been maintained as an all
year-round road without any bad de-
tours and with good passes over the
lower Rockies since 1926.
Much of the honor for precipitating
the public concern that brought about
the u. S. 66 Highway association goes
to Cyrus S. Avery, of Tulsa, Okla,
and John I. Woodruff, of Spring
field, Mo-, both of whom have had in
recent years deal to do with promot-
ing good roads in the United States.
Avery, former chairman Oklahoma
state highway commission and now
chairman of the federal highway
marking committee Of the United
States department OF agriculture,
looks upon the u. S. Sc highway as
the most important transcontlnental
road in America. For military rea-
sons alone, he believes, it is absolutely
necessary that u. S. 66 be paved all
the way from Chicago to Los Angeles.
It's Importance as military highway
can be proven in many ways, he
claims, chief of which are the facts
that u. S. 66 is shorter. than any rail-
road and approximately 200 miles
shorter than any other highway from
Chicago to the Pacific coast.

Believing the time has come when
America must be served by a great
continuous highway to connect, like a
railroad, the centers of population
with a region capable of expansion
by younger generations, the business
men of Americas great southwest
have formed an organization, "The u.
S. 66 Highway association" to bring
into being, at the earliest possible
date, through federal and state CO.
operation, Americas widest concrete
thoroughfare. They propose to con-
crete the u. s. 66 Highway from Chi
cago, H., to Los Angeles, Calf.
