Washington at Valley Forge and
Lincoln during the dark days of the
Civil War fought their way through
encouragement. They faced discour-
agement with renewed determination.
Encouragement stopped a driller
when he was within one foot of oil.
Encouragement stopped a swimmer
when one more effort would have
reached the shore. Discouragement
stopped the general when one more
attack would have routed the enemy.
Face encouragement with a re-
newed effort!
Throw off your coat! Roll up your
sleeves! Clinch both fists and let
drive! No encouragement can with
stand such an attack.
One more determined effort and
success is yours!

SUN OIL COMPANY
CELEBRATES ITS
ANNIVERSARY

With an organization dating back
to 1886, the Sun Oil Company, whose
headquarters are in Philadelphia, is
this year, celebrating it's fiftieth ami
versary according to Mr.. R. Wier, Jr.
the Company's district manager.
During the last fifteen years." he
says, "the Sun Oil Company has be.
come prominent in the public eye be-
cause of the fact that during this
time we have actively retailed oul
products directly to the public. Be.
fore that, however, the Company oc-
cupied an important place in the pc
troleum industry for years. But al
that time we were not known to the
public because practically all Of ou1
products were made exclusively fol
the wholesale trade and were not re-
tailed under our own name.
ut was not until 1920, shortly after
the War, when the Company first re.
tailed is products to the public wher
wholly distilled Sunoco Motor Oil was
announced. While this oil won wide
acceptance, it must not be confused
with the present Sunoco Mercury
Made Motor Oil which was not
brought out until 1881.
"Of course, we have won even q
greater measure Of public fame thru
our one and only motor fuel, Blue
Sunoco. But believe it or not, this
product is only nine years old, having
been introduced in 1927. So far as
we know, Blue Sunoco was the first
known motor fuel to offer
motorists a high knockless rating at
regular gas price.

acle House at Claiborne was brought
to a close September End, when near
" a hundred tanned and healthy
children returned to their home after
spending the summer on the Eastern
Shore in quest of health.
The Miracle House, a tuberculosis
preventorium for Maryland children,
has for the past few months been the
host to 121 children from all over the
state. These children are from homes
that have been visited by tuberculosis
and in most cases the children were
greatly run down and malnourished.
During the summer months at the
Preventorium they hardened their lit
tie muscles and filled out their thin
bodies. Every child responded well
to the treatment, some gaining more
than ten pounds. The largest gain
made was fifteen pounds.
This past summer 49 children from
the counties of the state attended the
Miracle House. These children rep
resented II counties.
The purpose of the Miracle House
is to take these children who are sus-
ceptible to tuberculosis through their
contact with the disease, and build
up heir resistance and strength so
that they might overcome any future
infections. This is accomplished by
a regime of play, rest and sleep in
addition to a planned diet Of health
giving fruits, vegetables and meats.
The Miracle House is operated by
the Maryland tuberculosis Associa-
ton and is supported by the annual
sale of tuberculosis Christmas Seals.

RADIANT LIVING
Defeating Encouragement
By Rev. C. M. Griffith
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

Encouragement is an enemy to all
good. In league with satanic powers,
Encouragement purposes to slow uI
all effort to do good. Perhaps discour-
agement has bean tempting you to
quit the good work in which you are
interested.
The great men of the world are not
men who never met Encouragement
They are men who met discourage
ment and defeated it. They won out
because they were able to withstand
it longer than their competitors.

BURIED WIRE
INSTALLATIONS
SATISFACTORY

Telephone wire is now being plow-
ed under. Wire buried in from eigh-
teen to twenty-four inch trenches,
then covered with soil, development
of the Bell Telephone Laboratories
for constructing lines in remote Sec
lions where standard pole line contruc
ton would be prohibitive, is now I'M
dergoing experimentation. Use OF
this type of circuit, according to the
Bell System Technical Journal will
provide facilities for more extensive
development of telephone service in
rural communities.
Buried wire installations, after a
number of experiments, have been
used very satisfactorily both for in
dividual and party line telephone SUBJ
scribers. The trial installations have
been laid in or adjacent to the Shout
ders of public highways, although in
some instances the wire has been bur-
led on private rights of way. Where
service connections are made, the
wires are brought up above the
ground and are connected through
small metal wire terminals erected on
short poles or posts. Where. the wire
terminates on the subscribers prem
Uses, the same type of electric protec-
ton is provided as on open wire lines
or exposed cable circuits.
The telephone engineers have not
only developed type of wire with a
special insulation that will insure
protection against earth dampness,
but also have perfected pillow for
opening the trench, threading the wire
into it and covering it up in a single
operation.
Up to the present time only about
fifty miles Of buried telephone wire
circuits have ken placed in operation.
these being largely for experimental
purposes. There are a number Of
things the telephone engineers must
learn about this type of plant. They
are very much interested in knowing
to what extent burrowing rodents,
such as gophers, may damage the
wire by chewing on the insulation or
if other interferences will occur. Soil
erosion is another problem that as
yet is not clearly visualized. For a
certainty this type of plant will not
be affected by wind, ice and tree in
reference, troubles peculiar to open
wire construction with the damage al
ways experienced by broken insula-
tors, damaged wires, broken poles or
cross arms.
If this type of plant proves as sue
cessful as the engineers think it. will,
construction of telephone lines in re-
mote sections and rural communities
will be largely solved as against the
cost of constructing open wire lines.
