tered since 1892, when the dial phones
in America we're first installed on a
large scale in Portland, Me-, and Au-

The argument over the availability of
the dial phones Is especially pertinent
in view of the fact that the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co. has the
largest number of shareholders of any
time. The larger stock dealers report
that there has been a wide diffusion of
the corporate ownership of this COM
pany. Many big blocks of margin-l1eld
common stocks in the last year have
been broken up, adding materially to the
number of stockholders of record.

OUTLOOK FOR OIL
INDUSTRY BETTER
Seasonal Uptlrn in Use Of
Gasoline Expected to
VA Aid Business.
BY BENNETT WOLFE,
Associated Press stan Writer.

TULSA, Okla, May 2s.-The rays
ef the sun are beneficial TO many
things, including the ills of the oil
business. In fact, sunshine Is listed
as one of the present needs Of the in
dustry for. giant that 1t is, the pc
troleum business, nevertheless, Is af-
fected by such commonplace thing
es the weather.
whenever excessive rains or other uY1-
favorable weather conditions hamper
the motoring activities of the coun-
try's 100000 automobile drivers the
oil industry suffers. That has been
true this Spring. As a result oil men,
particularly those in the refining end
of the business, are hoping for sun
Anime in plentiful quantities.
Outlook Improved.
Developments of the last few days,
featured by arrival of better motor
ing weather, would indicate that the
annual upswing in gasoline consump
ton at last was at hand after being
delayed several weeks by rains and
cool temperatures. The trend of the
week, pointing to an early resumption
Of spot buying by iobbers, has brought
an improved outlook at Midcontinept
refineries.
while the petroleum industry, through
cooperative accomplishment of cur
tailment and conservation, has been
making noticeable progress la finding
its way out of the economic wilder
ness resulting from overproduct1on OF
oil. 1t undoubtedly would have found
aid. even though temporary in
Spring conducive to motor travel.
z. 3. Reeser, president Of the Amer
lean Petroleum Institute, believes the
gasoline market would be much strong
er today had April and May weather
been dominated by sunshine. Warm
weather and less crude oil output are
listed by him as immediate needs OF
the oil industry.
The future Of the oil industry is
bright" he said, but the immediate
outlook is not so promising. The usual
Spring influence on consumption has
not been felt because Of unsettled
weather and as result the gasoline
market is nanifestly net as strong as
we believe 1t should be-

situation said most of the sellers we're

coming at the end Of the week, Is count
ed upon to result In heavy consumption
Of gasoline and oil. and. as a conse-
quence, material reductions In the
stocks of gasoline and lubricants.
AS means of effecting improvement
In the refined oil situation, some re-
hners are advocating mass meeting
of midcontinent and adjacent refiners
TO take steps to keep daily crude runs
In hand and curtail operations.
Motorized vacations are being urged
this year more than ever. The Amer
lean Petroleum Institute already has be-
gun q campaign to promote cross coun-
try driving and oil companies are en-
eouraging employees TO make their vaca-
ton trips by automobile. Several COM
panies plan to allow employees an addi-
tonal week for long tours.

Stockholders in the American Tel

In many quarters over the action Of the

connection.
A recent study of the situation in
New York. as reported to the Depart
ment of Commerce, indicated that in
10 years the growth of the use of the
telephone will be so great that there
will not be enough operators to take
care of the calls under the old manual
system. This problem, it Is declared,
will be eliminated by the use of the
automatic switchboard, which has been
utilized in some Of the central stations
Of New York for eight or nine years.

North Carolina farmers have had fine

Crops generally In this State are

This Huge Army
OF $4,000 Daily
Demand SargOn
Vast Growing Army OF Sargon
Users, Marching Single File
Would Encirce Globe In Only
Few Years.
(By RICHARD L. SIMMS)

ATLANTA. Ga.-More like tale
from the Arabian Nights of old
than record. of modern business
achievement reads the story of the
marvellous growth and development
of Sargon. the New Scientific Com
pound which has become the sen
sation of the drug trade throughout
the United States, Canada and other
countries.
The old illustration of the pebble
dropped into the pool best describes
the phenomenal and unprecedented
demand and its fame is rapidly
spreading over the entire American
Continent like great tidal wake.
Recently compiled figures reveal
that approximately $4,000 men ana
women are marching into the drug
stores daily for Sargon and Saf2oh
Soft Mass Pills. the marvellous new
treatment that is restoring health
to countless thousands by new ana
remarkable methods undreamed oI
only a few years ago.
Already more than 5,00O,oO0 suf'
fering men and women have put IT
10 the test and have told other mll'
lions what it has done for them.
Marching in regulation |. ;. ar
nv fashion-single file-this vast
army of Sargon users would reach
from New York to San Francisco
and at the present rate of sale
would. in a few years time enclrcie
the entire globe.
The only explanation of Sargon
triumph in the Medical World IS
Sareon's true worth. Back of it's
triumph in the drug stores IS its
triumph in the homes and 1t Is the
grateful endorsements of its mil
lions of users that has made II the
most widely talked of medicine IN
the world today.
Sargon is extensively advertlsed'
il is true, but no preparation, no
, matter how extensively advertised,
could possibly meet with such phe.
