CHILDREN STILL
Good SPELLERS;.
LIST PROVES IT
Interest Grows in State
Contest Which Begins
March g.

Back in the old days when pupils
carried their lunch to school and
played ANDY over" during recess
and the noon hour, the principal
subjects were the three RS, reading,
'riting and 'rithmatic. And SPELL
ing came in for a goodly share of
instruction time, too.
Perhaps the three RS are not
stressed so much today, and may he
spelling has declined. At least the
mothers and fathers of today say
they are better spoilers than their
children.
But the children have protested
and compiled list Of words that
100 per cent OF parents will fail to
spell.
Try These on Your Friends
Anyway, here is the list. Try
them on your friends; they will fail
to spell most Of the words.
liquefy paraffin
diphtheria Supersede
naphtha picnicking
kimonO tranquility
rarely separate
SacrilegiOus battalion
vilify ecstasy
1t is lots of fun to fool your
friends, and even the boss himself
flunks out on the majority of the
words.
But the Indiana Spelling Bee will
be even more fun than this when
the first line Of spoilers faces the
pronouncer in the room contest
March 8. Thousands of school
children have entered the spelling
bee sponsored in Indiana by The In
dianapolis Times and already have
started studying for the event.
Bee Is National Event
The spelling bee is a national
contest among students in the fifth,
sixth. seventh and eighth grades Of
public and parochial schools.
Contests are held in each room

building champions meet again

Indianapolis and eight winners are

Then on May 4 the eight Indi-
annapolis champions and the cham

STANDARD OIL
NET EARNINGS
DOWN IN 1927
Indiana Division Profits Are
Cut Nearly in Half, Is
Report.

BIZ tnitcd Press
CHICAGO, March 1.--Demorah-
cation of the oil industry in 1927 cut
the net earnings Of the Standard Oil
Company Of Indiana almost in half,
the annual report of the board of
directors to the stockholders re-
yealed today.
The report was read by Col. Rob-
ert w. Stewart, chairman of the
board, at the annual stockholders
meeting at Whiting, Ind, a suburb,
this afternoon.
Net earnings, before taxes, in
1927 amounted to $33, 1877 ,456 in 1927
compared with $62 ,598, 764 in 1926,
the report showed, although the
company sold l,586,27l barrels more
petroleum in 1927 than in 1926,
and employed $500 fewer persons.
Despite reduced earnings and the
frankly recognized Generalization
of the industry, the present posi-
ton of the company is exceptionally
strong" the report said.
