GAS DEMAND
ON INCREASE
Associated Press Pilot,

TULSA, Okla, Aug. l2.-Pl-
The afflicted petroleum industry
was offered a morsel Of comfort
today in a survey OF gasoline sta
tiStics for the first half Of the year.
1T appears that the petroleum
industry has been one Of the most
fortunate Of the basic industries in
the United States" said Clarel b.
Mapes, economist for the Midcon-
tinent Oil and Gas association in
a review of the Six-months period.
Domestic trade in the industry's
principal products not only has held
its own with the consumption record
of last year but has actually en-
joyed an increase of 226 per cent.
Domestic demand for gasoline from
refineries totaled 100, $3.50, 900 barrels
for the first six months as COM
pared with a demand of l86. 500, 900
for the same period in 1880, an in
e Of 4.227.00 barrels"
A slump in gasoline exports has
been a disturbing factor. however,
and has more than offset the i'm
provement in the domestic trade,
resulting in a leSSened total de-
mand. Mapes pointed out.
while the American motoring
public has increased its demand for
gasoline" he said. 1.-THE American
export trade in the product has
suffered such severe losses as to
cause a decrease in the total gas
oline demand.
Serious economic troubles In
foreign countries, coupled with the
replacement of American gasoline
by motor fuel from other than
American sources. have caused a
decrease in the export trade in the
product totaling 10.411 900 barrels.
or 3l.63 per cent, during the first
half Of the year. Exports Of gas
oline totalled %, 504.O 900 barrels as
compared with 32.9l5. 900 barrels
during the first six months Of 1880.

DEBT HOLIDAY
SUGGESTED AS
GROWERS AID

WASHINGTON, Aug. i2-tF)-
The distress OF the agricultural in
dustry has revived old and brought
new farm relief proposals TO the
attention Of official Washington.
Bumper crops. existing surpluses,
low prices, lack OF demand and
markets. scarcity OF credit. mort
cages and unpaid bills. drought and
grasshoppers have increased the
farmers problem.
With congress converting in Dec
ember and a presidential election
next year, the situation grows more
complex as debate revolving around
the farm board, stimulates discus
sions on the equalization fee and
the export debenture plans and
price freezing propositions.
Legislation Inadequate
The American farm bureau fed
Grafton yesterday termed present
1alrm legislation inadequate and re-
Afirmed its faith in the equaliz-
alton fee. In contrast, the National
Grange is again advocating the ex-
port debenture. Representatives OF
both nationally known farm or
~ganizations have said adoption OF
these plans will be urged IN n
next congress.
Sen. Nye, Republican, North Da-
kota, wants the government 70
engage in a program OF price fixing
for two or three years. and has
recommended a debt holiday Tor
farmers. Somewhat the same
thought Is held by Rep. Wright
Patman, democrat, Texas, VINO
urged Pres. Hoover to call a special
session to set a minimum price on
principal agricultural commodities
and crude oil.
Patman believes the minimum on
cotton should be 20 cents a pound;
wheat 81 a bushel: corn 81 a bushel
and oil 81 or more a barrel.
At present the index OF farm
prices is at its lowest point since
the agricultural department began
keeping charts. Southwestern farm
ers were aroused when the farm
board refused TO withhold stabil-
ization wheat from domestic mar
kets and now southern cotton
planters oppose any possible sale
of the boards stabilizatoin cotton
to Germany.
Hoover View Unknown
pres Hoover Is on record against
the export debenture but has not
stated his views on the equalization
fee. Calvin Coolidge, however. twice
vetoed a bill containing latter pro-
vision.
Mr.. Hoover manifested his inter-

In other words, Vta-Fresh Packing actually removes 9o%
Of the air from the Maxwell House can.
According to every ~yardstick Of science, this revolutionary
new method is the most nearly perfect process ever devel-
oped to preserve the freshness and favor of fine blended

Oxygen a greedy rGckefeer

Oofee favor, you know, is highly ~perishable.
And Oxygen, a part of the very air we breathe, is its arch
enemy.
A greedy ~racketeer, Oxygen attacks coffee as soon as it
comes from the rooster, stealing its strength, h~ijacking its
favor and robbing you of the very elements that put aroma
and delight into your coffee cup.
Just read these amazing facts. These facts we're established
in a leading eastern university and were published in

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1931-08-12

For many years Maxwell House has wrestled with this
pcrple1ing problem.
But not until the discovery of the Vita-Fresh Process has
science been able to overcome the steady favor loss duo to
Oxygen.
Vacuum packing, of course, was a great step forward.
But even that was not enough to satisfy our food chemists
who for months now have been hot on the trail of an i'm
proved new method which would bring absolute protection.
Vacuum packing was far superior to old-fashioned methods
because it withdrew part of the Oxygen from the can and
prevented Oxygen from entering the package after sealing.

For it.can %truthfully be stated that Maxwell House Coffee

Order a pound Of Maxwell House at your grocer's. Pre-
pare it in your usual way. Then if you and your family
don't agree that it is the finest coffee you ever drank, if
you don't find that you get extra favor for your money in
every pound, simply return the can with the unused portion
and the grocer will gladly return your money.

SHULER FIGHTS
RADIO FOES

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9.-The
Rev. Robert P. (Bob) Shuler,
Southern Methodist pastor, whose
radio broadcasts Of alleged private
and political shortcomings of
civic leaders have made him a
dominant figure here, was ready
today to continue his fight
against revoking the license of
his radio station, KGEF.
Raps the Church
At the opening hearing yester-
day before the Federal Radio
Commission he testified for four
hours telling his audience he
considered the Catholic Church
the great beast" of the Biblical
prophesies and that the Cham,
ber of Commerce and Merchants
and Manufacturers Association
had tried to keep Henry Ford
from paying his usual high scale
of wages.
These and scores of other
revelations" were offered by the
minister as Thomas Littlepage,
of Washington, D. c., attorney
for the complaining witnesses,
confronted him with a long list
of excerpts from the pastors
radio speeches.
Not Of Public Interest
These witnesses were attempt
ing to prove that the Shuler sta
tion was not being conducted "in
the public interest"

Lies in Rising Generation,
Says President in Interview

Americas rising generation as
visioned by President Herbert Hoo
yer is set forth by Frazier Hunt in
q striking interview which is pub,
lished in the Cosmopolitan Maya
zine this month.
This is the first unofficial and
informal" talk in which the PreSi.
dent, permitting the use of direct
quotes" with reference to his
words, has given the Nation a
glimpse of what is in his mind
with regard to the future Of the
United States.
Earnings Emphasized
The economic background Of
the America of the Future" is
thus protrayed, in part, by Pres1'
dent Hoover:
1--WE spend more in this
country, but we earn more.
You know, contrary to the old
maxim, it isn't what we spend
that cOunts-it'S what we earn.
I am more interested in increes-
ing peoples incomes than in
worrying over their expendi-
lures. Before we are spend
ing nation we are an earning
nation.
81 remember hearing an argu-
ment three or four years ago
between an old retired Middle
Western farmer and his son.
The father was criticiZing his
son for spending so much
money. He explained how hard
he and the young mans mother
had worked and how little
they had to Spend-as against
the all-year hired hand and the
trips and the two motor cars
of the present day. But the
son changed his fathers tune
when he proved that today, the
farm was earning five times
more gross than during his
fathers day-and SO he had a
right to better things and to
spend five times as much on
them"
Approves Standardizing
The President continued:
"YOu know there is a certain
type of individual who chideS
this country about our So

That would be grand place TO use
that figured rayon net I saw in the
dress goods department the other day.
One can find some splendid ideas for
curtains in the dress materials now
adays.
The new voiles with those large
plaid designs would make stunning
breakfast nook curtains. Trim them
with little ball fringe, putting the
heading ON the under side so just the
balls will show.
For a bedroom / don't know of any
thing daintier than crisp dlmity in
a pastel color The prettiest one I've
seen is pale green, with an irregular
weave that looks like some wheat
sower had scattered wheat all over 1t.
OF course you have all used checked
ginghams and plaid percales in your
kitchens, but what about stealing
some of the baby's romper material,
you know, this material with cute
little designs of ducks and dogs, and
Mother Goose characters all over it,
TO put up in the nursery2 I think
that would be kind of ducky, or
would you say doggy
Then there's one other material on
the market this season that would
make nice curtains. A dress linen
with little scenes printed all over it
in toile effect. I think I'd trim that
with plain cord of contrasting color,
or one picking up the color in the
figures.
Most all Of these materials are sun
fast. or al least tub-fast, so that's a
help. And you can buy lot of them
right here on the Island. It pays to
browse around.
