The Dome Oil Company, Incor-
porated, was organized early in 1921
for the express purpose of serving
oil fuels to the first domestic oil
burners installed in Washington.
The growth of the firm in the past
seven years from an experimental
stage to a firmly established ousl-
ness has been due to the spirit Of
service with which the whole or
ganization is en1bued.
Twenty-four hour service is main
tanned. Forty men and a fleet Of
trucks are required to keep up
the standard of efficient service.
Within the last few months it has
been necessary to double the storage
capacity of the main plant to take
care of the increased volume of
business.

SMITH IN THE VAN DEMOCRATIC RACE
 REVEALS Fl CURES
SUPPORTERS SAY SMITH HAS 579 VOTES ASSURED NOW AND
 FORSEE VICTORY

NEW YORK, April ,. (P)-Gover- nor Alfred Smith is out in the van in
 the Democratic race for presidential nomination, according to figures based on number of delegates actually se- lected. On the same basis former Governor Lowden of Illinois is lead ing the Republicans back in the drive down the stretch.
 Sixty-two delegates have actually been selected to vote for Governor Smith, of which AS have received de- finite instructions. Lowden has 98 delegates in his support with 5S in structed in his favor Lowden also claims 40 more who have not yet been instructed.
 Smiths intimate supporters go much further than these figures justify They declare he has 579 votes assured now and forsee a victory for him at the third poll in Houston. Eighty votes, they claim, are in reserve for him, which would mean he would need only 76 to win the nomination. These claims are dubtful
 Hoover is running close behind Lowden in the Republican popularity contest. He has S5 delegates avow- edly behind him of which only 28 have definite instructions in his favor, how ever.
