SUPERIORITY

Due to the Germ Process and the
select, premium, paraf6n base crude
stocks used, CONOCO Germ Pro-
cessed Motor Oil positively does not
break down under the most intense
cylinder wall heat - that means that
this oil will not break down under
strains of long, hard climbs, heavy
loads or high speeds.
Automotive engineers agree that 400
to 500 of all motor wear occurs dur.
ing the starting period before ordinary
oils can reach the bearing surfaces.
CONOCO Germ Processed Motor
Oil penetrates metal surfaces and
never leaves the bearings. Hence, the
most remote engine parts are always
fabricated - wear and tear are thus
practically eliminated - that means
longer life and greater resale value
for every motor using CONOCO
Cerm-Processed Paraffn Base Oil.
Crankcase dilution does not seriously
impair the "oiliness" value of CON.
OCO Cerm-Processed Motor Oil
that means greater motor profession.

GAS TAXSAVES
MOTORISTS CASH
Cuts Cost Of Car Opera
ton From One To Two
Or More Cents A Mile.
By E. e. Duffy

The automobile touring season is
now on in full swing. Judging by
last years expenditures, in the
neighborhood of three and three
quarters billion dollars will be
spent by pleasure bound motorists
this year in going places.
But what happened to all these
billions before the coming of the
automobile? The answer is that this
money didn't exist until automobile
makers learned about mass produc-
tion.
Fortunately about that time the
public discovered a way TO finance
highway building so that consider
able travel space could be supplied
Immediately. This method of tlnan-
cling is gasoline taxation, plan
that came out of Oregon in 1919.
Today all states possess gas taxes,
the average being trife less than
four cents a gallon. This tax ma
turally brings in noteworthy sums of
money to each state government. but
all things considered, the motOrist is
still getting by far the better of the
bargain. According to the studies
of Professor r. A. Agg of Iowa
State College, internationally recog-
nized authority, first class paving
saves from one to two and a half
cents a mile in car operating costs.
At present most pavements are fl
nanced, directly or indirectly, by
gas taxes. So the savings made
available to motorists are largely
due to the gas tax.
There was a time when it was
thought that gasoline taxes and tax
increases would reduce the amount
of motoring but that day is gone. In
Iowa, for example, gasoline tax
money contributed almost entirely
to the construction of 73O miles of
concrete pavements in 1929. Tabu-
lations for the fiscal year ending
July 1, 1880, show that $2,O0O,000
more was collected from the gas tax
than in any previous year.
The first six months of this year
brought Maryland ten per cent more
gas tax money than the same period
the year before. Wisconsin's last
fiscal report shows an increase of
more than a million dollars. Both
Maryland and Wisconsin are known
as active road building states.
In Idaho the gas tax was increas-
ed from four to five cents, but new
ertheless the sale of gasoline in that
state was nearly five million gallons
greater during the first five months
of 1880 than in the same period in
1929.
The average motorist in travelling
his $500 miles or so yearly pays
about $22 in gasoline taxes. The av-
erage license fee is SIG yearly. This
gives total of $3S spent for roads.
But since he saves from one to two
and a half cents a mile he comes
out on the long end by at least $45.
Cash values, however cannot be
placed on increased comfErt and
the educational and social value that
accrue to nation on wheels.

LOAN SOCIETIES
SPONSOR BETTER
HOME BUILDING
Set High Specifications AS
Guarantee of Safety For
Both The Lenders And
The Owners.
By WYATT Brummitt

Building and loan organizations
all over the country may follow the
lead of the Oklahoma City building
and loan associations which recent
ly united in an effort to insure bet
ter new small homes. A Better
Homes Construction Bureau was es-
tablished, manned by a small staff
of inspectors and provided with
set of standard specifications, de-
signed to eliminate all shoddy con-
struction practices and materials.
No loans, it was announced, would
be made for new residences unless
they conformed to the new quality
specifications.
No charge was made for the in
spection service, but prospective
home owners, contractors and other
loan organizations Immediately saw
that the benefits would be far-reach-
ing. In the few months since the
Bureau has been at work the quail
ity of new home construction has
improved notably, funds for resi-
Dental financing have been loosened
and a considerable impetus has been
given to small house building.
On the basis of careful inspection
of both specifications and the finish
ed job, rating of A, B or c is Civ
en- a new house. First mortgage
loans are then offered to the amount
of rs per cent of appraised value on
class A houses, so per cent on class
B houses and 80 per cent on Glass
c. No rating is given dwellings built
on the basis of loans offered by len
ders not cooperating with the Bur-
eau. There are so few of these that
they represent a negligible amount
of construction.
The benefits of the new system
are apparent in the fact that class
A construction has increased from
6 to 33 per cent of the total, class B
increased from II to 40 per cent
and class c decreased from 81 to l6
per cent. And no-rating homes
dropped from 16 to 1 per cent of the
total.
Equally important has been the
practical disappearance of the "Jer-
ry" builder and the INSCRIPTIONS
speculator. And the use of inferior
materials, together with the former
excessive loans, loan shopping and
competition, has been eliminated, to
the great benefit of prospective Ow-
nership.
Better materials, honestly used,
mean better, safer, sounder and
more economical homes. In many
instances the use of firesafe mate
rials, such as concrete, has not only
meant better loans but lower insur-
ance premiums. Realtors contrac-
tors and home builders now display
signs on all new homes stating that
Bureau supervision is in force. Pro-
spective home owners have a new
and real confidence, to the great
benefit of the entire community.
Quality, it seems, is still the best
salesman.

under more adverse conditions and
carry heavier loads.
For Northern climates, bee that
can fly in cooler weather is sought.
A longer tongue capable of sucking
nectar from the depths of long-tubed
flowers would be welcomed. A race
that would breed rapidly but not
swarm excessively and would be i'm
mune to contagious diseases is an
other hope of the breeders. And last,
but not least, a gentle, sociable hon
eybee with a good disposition is
more to the hearts Of the men who
work with the bees.
1.-THE honeybee has been longer in
mans service than most domestic
animals" James l. Hambleton, head
of the government bee laboratory,
says, "but the bee cannot be classed
as a domestic animal. 1t leaves for
the woods on the slightest provoca-
tion and is just as we'll satisfied
there as ever. We believe we can
really domesticate the honeybee and
can make bee breeding as profitable
to the beekeeper as careful breeding
now is for the livestock man."

FARM BOARD WILL
HELP THOSE WHO
HELP THEMSELVES
Has Considerable Discre-
ton In The Matter Of
Terms On Loans; Makes
No Profit On Service.

The Federal Farm Board is deep
ly concerned by the reports of SER
ious drought in a number of agri-
cultural regions.
The United States Department of
Agriculture and it's allied agencies
are now surveying the dry sections
to determine the degree Of damage
to crops and its prospective effect on
farmers and their livestock. In the
meantime, the Federal Farm Board
is studying its own power for finan-
cial aid.
Under the Agricultural Marketing
Act the Federal Farm Board cannot
give anything to anybody, but it has
considerable discretion in the mat
ter of terms on loans. There is al
so the Grain Sterilization Corpora
ton through which the Board may
work.
If existing feed distribution agen-
cies or other business men and far
mers in any stricken community,
county, district, or state will form
under the laws of their own state
responsible corporation which Will
guarantee the payment of notes to
be given by individual farmers,
plan probably can be quickly devel-
oped whereby the Grain Stabiliza-
ton Corporation can sell feed grains
of any kind in car lots at market
prices on easy payments of one or
two years. The local organization
would arrange for local distribution
of the feed thus supplied and see to
the collection of the farmers notes
when due. 1t would make no profit
on it's own services and would make
proper local arrangements for the
payment of freight.
The Federal Farm Board can IN
this way help every community that
is willing to help itself. The Gram
Sterilization Corporation has plenty
of grain and can buy more to replace
that sold for feed, thus keeping its
own supplies intact.
The plan is believed to be practl-
cal and workable. 1t would relieve
suffering, dispose of a part of the
grain surplus, and put no man nor
community under the necessity OF
asking for charity. If local COM
minities will do their part, no sub
stantial farmer need lack for feed
for his livestock and no stock need
be sacrificed on present markets.

TRAVELLING SOUND
STUDIO USED TO FILM
"WAY OUT WEST"

The worlds first complete sound
studio on railroad tracks moved
into Gallup, New Mexico, when ex-
terror location scenes were filmed
among the ancient Hopi Indian
pueblos for William Haines' latest
talking picture, "Way Out West" !"
which will be shown tonight and
tomorrow at the Plaza Theatre.
A special train, equipped with
Pullmans served as a travelling hotel
for the cast which included besides
the star, Leila Hyams, Polly Moran,
Cliff Edwards, Francis X. Bushman,
Jr., Vera Marsh, Charles Middleton,
Jack Pennick, Buddy Roosevelt and
Jay Wilsey. One car was fitted up
as a camera shop and laboratory and
carried complete sOund-recording
apparatus. Dynamos operated by
steam from the locomotive charged
the storage batteries of the sound
plant and cables were dropped from
the tops of pueblOs down three hun
dred feet to the recording car to
carry the voices of the players from
location" to the microphones.
The strange location train was
made necessary because of the prim-
tive region into which the company
penetrated. No hotels were avail
able near the pueblo country and no
electricity, hence the travelling hotel
and studio on wheels. In addition to
cameras, equipment and cast, the
train also carried horses for the
cowboys as well as portable stable
equipment.
Fred NiblO directed the new COM
edy, in which Haines plays circus
CRATER who turns cowboy and meets
with thrilling and hilarious adven-
lures.

Y O u
AND YOUR
MONEY
The "Small Fellow" Is Important
(By John P. Mullen)

(By John P. Mullen)
"Out of my present income l can
save at most only $40 or SIS a
month. Banks and investment deal
ers do not wish to be bothered with
such insignificant sums"
Wrong! Obviously and dangerous
ly wrong!
Glance at the bank advertisements
in this paper. At whom are these ad-
vertisements directed? Very obvious
w, at the little fellow" at the aver
age individual of average income.
Does it seem probable that these
banks would spend thousands of dol
lars every year in advertisements dl-
rected at the little fellow" if they
did not wish to be bothered with in
significant sums.
During the last decade we have
seen Christmas clubs, travel clubs,
insurance-savings accounts, and
MANY other banking innovations de-
signed to promote regular savings.
Today a savings account can be
opened with a dollar, and any bank
will gladly receive the smallest coin
as a deposit. These innovations cost
money. In the last quarter-century
banking costs have almost doubled
At least 80 per cent of the expenses
incident to bank management Is
traceable to the handling of deposits.
Most small accounts cost a bank
more than they earn. But bankers
want them they realize that the lit
tie fellow" of today may be the pig
fellow" of tomorrow, if he is won to
the habit of regular saving.
Legitimate investment dealers, too,
hold out a welcome sign for the in
dividual of small means. The results
of the Liberty Loan campaigns, IN
which the totals of the small wage
earners and salaried-workers COM
pared favorably with those OF the
large, awakened this business to the
inheritance of the average man in
gnance. The result has been baby
bonds"-bonds of S100 to $500 de-
nominations, bOndd-buying install
ment plans, and toher accommoda-
tions for the little fellow"
These innovations, likewise, cost
heavily. Few legitimate bond deal
ers make a profit on baby bond" or
instalment accounts. They handle
them, not because they are naturally
philanthropic, but because they re-
alize. as do commercial bankers, that
the average man is very important
cog in our economic and financial
scheme.
If the individual of small means
would have some idea of his own eco
nomic importance, let him look at the
other side of the picture. 1t Is
against the little fellow" that the
faker directs his greatest effort. And
it among these folk that he reaps his
richest harvest. An attitude of mind
has made this field fertile. 1t is
largely because many people of small
means are rather timid about doing
business with large banks and IN
vestment houses that schemers and
swindlers are still doing a profitable
business.
