Though Murder in the Rumble

Checked Her Constipation

Read Mrs. Marsden's letter: az

for the last IL years. l felt miser-
able and irritable most of the time.
My husband is a manager of a
chain store. He said why don't
you try Kellogg's ALL-BRAN?'
"ALL-BRAN helped me right
away. l have taken it now for the
past months, and l am as regu-
lar as a clock. Ny health is fine,
and / am full of ep."-Mrs.

Constipation dl,e to insufficient
"buIi;" IN meals.
ALL-BRAN provides gentle "bulk"
to aid regular habits. 1t also sup
plies vitamin B and iron.
The "bulk" of ALL-BRAN is more
effective than the "bulk" in fruits
and vegetables, as it does not break
down within the body. Two table
spoonfuls daily are usually sufi-
cient. If not corrected this way,
see your doctor.

POWER ISSUE
IN WASHINGTON
State Voters to Be Called On
for Action on Large
Bond FIotation.
BIZ Tnited Press

OLYMPIA, Wash, May 18.-
Washington voters in the November,
1886, general elections will be called
on to vote on bonding the state up
to $45,000000 for flood control and
electric power transmission lines.
The 1885 Legislature passed reso-
lutions placing the two proposals on
the ballot. One called for 100000
in general obligation bonds to be
used in controlling floods which
ravage Washington counties each
winter.
The second would authorize the
state to bond itself up to $780,
100000 for power transmission lines
for distribution of power produced
at Grand Coulee Dam, in central
Washington.
The latter proposal promises to
be bitterly fought, with political
factions in the state divided on
whether the state or Federal gov
eminent should build the power lines
and wholesale and retail the power
At the same time it votes on the
power bonds, the voters will bal
lot on putting the state in the power
business. The resolution would au-
thorize wholesaling of power from
the dam, the state to buy power
from the Federal government at the
damsite, transport it overland and
wholesale it to cities or rural areas.

STANDARD OIL WARNS
OF u. S. OIL POSITION
Ratio TO World Output in 1884 Was
Smallest in % Years.

~ fmfs NNCffdt
NEW YORK, May 10. - The
United States can not afford to
waste its known reserves in COM
petitive drilling or uneconomic pro-
duction methods if it is to maintain
its pre-eminence as world pro-
ducer of oil. it is stated today by
Lamp. the magazine of the Standard
Oil Co. of New Jersey.
The magazine stated that the po-
Sition of this country as a producer
Of petrOleum-while still far in ex-
cess Of any other nation-is steadily
dwindling.
In 1894 the United States contrib
uted 59.7 per cent of world output.
the lowest percentage contribution
in twenty-eight years. In 1923
American fields produced 71.8 per
cent of the world total.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-05-18

Specta cularly brought to the lore
in recent months by the widely pub
licized developments in the Diesel
powered railroad locomotive field,
survey indicates that all divisions in
the transportation field, along with
the major oil companies, today are
actively engaged in experimenting
with the inherent possibilities of the
Diesel engine.
Used for Long Hauls.
Trucking companies engaged in
long-haul work have turned 10 inc
Diesel powered truck in the Yves. in
increasing numbers. The large fuel
savings over gasoline powered trucks
has offset the higher price of the
engine, it is claimed. The move
ment is expanding in other sections,
and in the East several large truck
fleet operators are devoting serious
study to Diesel-powered trucks.
Another field in which the Diesel
engine is meeting with increased
favor is the use of stationary en-
gines by small businesses utilizing
large quantities of electric power. In
the field, such as service stations,
drug stores and other units operat-
ing day and night, many companies
are turning to operation of their
own generating plants powered by
Diesel engines. The low cost has
enabled such units substantially to
pare operating costs.
Road Machines Use Diesel
The tractor industry, which al
ready absorbs the greatest proper
ton of Diesel engines, seems to be
in a position to absorb still higher
rate under the public works pro-
gram planned by the Administra-
ton. Farmers who use a tractor
only for a relatively short time,
which does not justify the higher
cost of DieSels, are not major fac
tor. But road building machines
are almost universally Diesel pow
cred.
In the airplane industry, as in the
case of the major truck and auto
mobile units, research workers are
striving to perfect type of Diesel
engine that will meet their own par
ticular needs. Expansion of the in
dustry will find the major COM
panieS in both fields we'll qualified
to compete effectively with other
manufacturers, it is asserted.
In the oil industry experiments in
the labs" of the major companies
are busily engaged in perfecting the
most efficient types of fuel and lub-
ricating oils in anticipation of fur
Their improvement of Disel engines.
