THE COLUMBIA EVENING MISSOURIAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1920'. HARDING'S VISIT TO PANAMA IS TO GOOD EFFECT Has Checked Panamanians' Feeling of Resentment To ward United States Over Land Question. PORRAS PARTY FRIENDLY President-Elect Assists Execu tive of Southern Republic in Bettering Feeling of Radicals. Br Kukjm) L. Clapper United Press Stall Correspondent, tcith President-elect Harding.) Paiajia Qtt. R. P.. LVc. 7 (br mail.) The visit of President-elect Hard- ill to the capital of the Panamanian re public is resulting in noticeable in crease in the friendlr feeling toward the I niied Mates, according to Panamanian officials and prominent Americans here. It has checked, for the time beine. a pouring undercurrent of resentment to Hard the United States which has been fanned by radical Panamanians seeking to overthrow the Porras party now in poer and arokedly friendly to the Amer. lean got eminent. Harding accomplished .this, Americans here say. by his friendly remarks at the dinner giitn him by President Porras and appearances at informal receptions, here he emphasized the responsibility resting on the Republic of Panama and insisted that the United States wanted all countries to have the same share of freedom in international relations that it desires for itself. QutSTioN or latd Friction has been developing for some !imc, centering largely arcund disputes over acquisition of land in Panama to be used in fortifying the canal. A treaty ores the United States the right to pur chase lands for this purpose, but a dif ference has arisen over the price to be paid the American officials insisting on the 1904 valuation figures and Panamam ans claiming this is too low now. Just now the contemplated acquisition of sites on Toboga Island for additional defenses at the Pacific end of tqe canal is the cen ter of friction. This feeling reached a criIs recently. wher General Penning was on a tour of -inpection in the canal zone. Lo.al politicians had been haranguing a crowd in froSt of the Union Club, where Gen eral Pershing was to be feted. The crowd got out of hand and began throw- ing rocks at automobiles in which Ameri cans were arriving for the banquet. Word was dipatched to General Pershing, who was about to start from the Tholi Hotel at Ancon and what might have been a serious incident was thereby averted. WORK FOR HARMONT President Porras, formerly Panaman ian minister to the United States, is ex erting every effort to allay this unfriend ly feeling, and it was to assist him in this enterprise and to seek a better undcr- rtanding with the citizens of the Pana manian republic that Senator Harding abandoned his reluctance to visit foreign soil while in Panama. Leading citizens of Panama realize fully, Americans here say, that it is only with the hackinv'nf t?i VntA itM that they are enabled to preerve their independence. Ilnmbia could, it is ad nutted, rcapture the country in brief time were it nnt fnt- id nmiM-iim. in fluence of the United States, which un- ollicially assisted Panama in its seces sion from Columbia. DAN CUPID DOlts GOOD WORK County Recorder Expect Licenses to Exceed 300 This Year. The work of Cupid, the love special ist, has been more successful in this vi cinity this year than in any previous vears. County Recorder J. L. Henry says that the busiest time of the year for Issuing marriage licenses is yet to come. Last year the total number of licenses granted was 265, whereas there have been 293 so far this jear. There are twelve dava vel and the ntimliM- nit! nrntivMv eiceed the 300 mark. lease to become a citizen. His case is different from that of Schama ScherL 608 Sanford street, who filed his petition here August 28, 1920. Since the United Stales is technically at war with Austria, it will be necessary for Scherl to get a presidential releae, that is, a statement from the chief ex ecutive saying that the applicant's loy alty is unquestioned. This ruling dees not apply to those whose applications were filed before war was declared. Aubrecht sas that he came to Ameri ca with the intention of becoming a citi zen of the United States. He is married and has three children. His wife and to of his children w'ere born in Austria. Aubrecht works in the tailoring shop of Daily Brqthcrs on South Ninth street, and Iies at 609 North Sixth street. "For Mother's Christmas."

''Conditions in Austria now are very bad," sajs Joseph Aubrecht, a Bohemian, who has been in Columbia since 1911 and who filed a petition for naturaliza tion here a few das ago. Aubrecht has jut received a letter telling -about the suffering in Austria. When asked if he were glad not to be living in his old home country now, Au brecht said, "In some ways yes; and in others, no, because I feel sorry for them. It depends largely on wlut state ou live in over there as to whether you suf fer. In some parts of Austria, they are very near revolution; in others, it is not so bad." Aubrecht came to America in 1907. He applied for naturalization while in St. Louis where he worked before coming to Columbia. On account of changing addresses, he declared bis intention to be come a citizen before the Grcuit Court here in June, 1915. This declaration, coming before -a state of war was de clared between the United States and Austria Hungary, made it unnecessary for Aubrecht to get a Presidential re- 3.

Efficiency at the Throttle THE automobilist appredates good gaso line most when he steps on the throttle and notes the efficiency in performance of his engine blueprint efficiency alone means little to him. Knowing this, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has devoted much of its energy to the development of a motor gasoline which' not only stands the grueling test of research laboratories, but which has proved its effi ciency in thousands of cars operated under every-day road and weather conditions. The Company has studied the needs of the motorist at first hand, and has developed Red Crown, its motor gasoline, to a, point where it meets exactly the needs of the automobile en R?f operating under conditions obtaining in the Middle West The efficiency of Red Crown symbolizes the spirit which animates the Company as a whole in its endeavor to render an intelligent, .efficient service to the public generally. The tremandous increase in the number of auto mobiles and trucks froni 1,253,00Q in. 1914 to 7,459,507 in August, 1920, has made more ap parent than ever the absolute necessity of a com prehensive, dependable system of distribution. The development of such a system has changed from something merely desirable to something . vitallyrieassary.Thebestgasoliiie&itlieworldis' useless if you cannot, get it when you want it Every step from refining to final delivery is of such importance to the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) that its. interest never abates until its gasoline is delivering maximum motor mileage; until its lubricating oils are helping do the work of the world to the satisfaction of the ultimate consumer. The greatly increased yield of gasoline which this Company has been able to recover from the crude obtainable has been accomplished without sacrifice of quality. Red Crown and Polarine performance are the best proofs of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.
