And so she was served before the
fire in the big room, in the lone
chair there, while they dined in
the kitchen; and then she had to

respectfully before her with their

FIRsT-cLAss ARGUMENT
Just how competitive IS the oil indus

Just how competitive is the oil indus
tryg
The factual answer to that question
VIII probably come as surprise to most
people who have personal contact with a
tny segment of this enterprise. Some 3d.
zoe separate companies are engaged in the
main production, refining and distributing
branches of the industry. About 250,000
concerns, partnership and individuals are
engaged in retailing petroleum products
Then $4,000 companies are engaged in
producing oil from the earth, 2,400 in
transporting crude and its products, and
~--~1eso00 are competing in the open market
%~-~11 kholesalers
What have been the results of all this
competition?
esisftfs First of all, we have countless more
usable oil products than we used to have
aud better products The gasoline and Tub
Finpts we use in our cars, like the fuel oil
that heats millions of homes and provides
energy for industry are of higher quality
- FAR than was general few years back
fompetition forces men and enterprise to
constantly try to produce a superior pro-
duct
~ Second. petroleum produce prices
Generally are today 40 per cent lower than
Trey were in 1920, postwar period like
tHe present, while the average for all COM
modities is but one per cent lower. The
~ ,avefage workers hour of labor will buy
ave gallons of gas now as against less than
four in 1871. Competition forces men and
enterprise to constantly seek ways and
nscans to reduce prices
on, in all its many ramifications, is an
outstanding practical argument for the
competitive enterprise system.

When we hear some one speak
about a sphinx, we are likely to
think of the Great Sphinx at
Gizeh. That is the most famous
sphinx. but it is far from being
the only one ever produced.
Often a sphinx had the head OF
a man and the body of lion. Al,
example Of this, besides the Great
Sphinx, is the Alabaster Sphinx of
Memphis. Egypt This one is IA
feet high and 26 feet long. It
dates back about 5000 years and
lis estimated to weigh 80 tons.
Other sphinxes were made with
the head of a woman and the body
Of lion, with wings fitted to the
lions body. Still others had the
heads Of hawks or rams.

to us about q sphinx which asked a
riddle when traveller came near

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colbl

On a recent quiz program, the
master of ceremonies described a
diamond and platinum brooch, pro-
nouncing brooch to rhyme with
"hooch, mooch." That pronuncia-
ton Is sometimes heard, but it is
obsolete and will act as stoplight.
The word brooch is actually a
variant spelling of the word broach.
The standard American pronuncia-
tion of brooch is exactly like
broach-it rhymes with roach.
Is your child studying zoo-OLL-
uh-jee The word zoology is widely
mispronounced, even by teachers of
the subject. The spelling does sug-
gest 200" in the first syllable, but
the word syllabifled thus: zo-ol-o-
gy. The first syllable, then, should
rhyme with hoe, toe, thus: zoe-OLL-
uh-jee.
The short word ZOO, "a menagerie,
or geological garden" results from
mispronouncing geological as 900
uh-LODGE-i-k'l. 1t should be ZOE
ah-LODGE-i-k1.
Watch the word schism. 1t means,
"a division; a cleavage into op-
posing groups, as in a church. >"
Disregard the "ch," and pronounce
schism as: SIZz-'m.
The word choleric means, cir
ritable; bad tempered" Do not
accent the second syllable. Say:
KOLL-er-ik.
The word apropos means, suit
able; appropriate; fitting; incident
ally" The final IS" is silent Say:
AP-ruh-POE'.
From an Akron news item: "The
chairman in charge of the bathing

It was a long time before any
one was able to give the right
answer. The answer is "a man"
In the morning Of life. that is, in
babyhood,' a child crawls on all
four limbs. Later he stands on
two legs. In the evening of life,
he may use cane to help support
himself and in a sense he then has
three legs.
In addition to sphinxes, the
Egyptian sculptors made many
other figures. During a visit in
Egypt, saw a huge statue of
Rameses II lying on the ground at
the site Of the ancient city of
Memphis. This statue was dug up
in modern times and the length
was found to he 26 feet.
Later I saw still q larger statue
Of the same King. This one was
lying in 2 shed which was built

tories Of this country has long been
marvel to other countries OcbeI-
tree said. Many foreign countries
nave sent groups to the United
states to study our industrial svs-
TEN. One of the facts alwavs
brought out by these study groups
is that the American farmer has
a large amount of power at his dis
pOsal
Recently, the high productivity of
american farms has caught the in
terest of people the world over. At
least part Of the explanation of
the American farmers ability to
break even his own production rec
Ords has been that he has had this
power at his disposal. AT the same
time, American soils have had a
continuing producing ability built
into them through the operation of
the Agricultural Conservation Pro-
gram. Hybrid corn, improved va
rletles of other crops, more fertil-
lzer as well as machines such as
the combine and corn picker .are
also important factors.
The effective use which farmers
are making of this increased power
