Bethlehem,” by Charles Mills (layley. on
Dec. 23; in February, a production of
Maeterlinck’s "Pellens and Melisande."

A series of matinees of "Everyman"
are not an impossibility for Lent, if the
interest is manifest.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline, but do not compel.”
FRIDAY, OCT 13.
This should be a fairly fortunate day,
for Venus and Mercury are both in
benefie aspect, according to astrology.
Uranus is strongly adverse.
The early hours are read as most ad
vantageous to women and thoir projects.
They should bo especially profitable to
milliners and modistes. Jewelers also
should benefit from this sway which
seems to indicate great advance in art-

1910 there were approximately
400 thousand cars in the United
States.
To operate these cars there was avail
able a gasoline production of 750
million gallons, or, approximately, 1875
gallons per car.
In 1919 there were more than 7 mil
lion cars and trucks operating in the
United States.
To supply these engines there was
available, according to Bureau of
Mines Report, 3 billion, 957 million
gallons of gasoline, or, approximately,
565 gallons per car.
In neither case has consideration been
given to the demand of tractors, sta
tionary gas engines, or the gasoline
required by the arts and industries.
Nor have we considered the large
volume of this product shipped
abroad annually.
The above figures are presented so that
you may visualize one of the problems
the petroleum industry has been called
upon to solve in the past decade.
In 1910 the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) marketed about 20 percent
of the gasoline output in the United
States, or approximately 150 million
gallons. In 1919 this Company sold
about 640 million gallons of gasoline,
or about 17 percent of the total for
that year.
It has been the task of the 7 men who manage
the affairs of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana)
for the 5124 stockholders, not one of whom owns
as much as 10 percent of the total, to expand
the organization not only to keep pace with, but
to keep ahead of the extraordinary and per
sistent demand for gasoline.
How well they have succeeded is illustrated
clearly by the fact that in the 10-year period
above mentioned, the Standard Oil Company
(Indiana) has taken a leading part in increasing
gasoline production 440 percent, while crude oil
production increased only 94 percent

Marty expensive doctor's bills are saved
by prompt action with reliable family
remedies. Foley's Honey and Tar has
been successfully used in thousands of
homes in cases of roughs. coldß, c oup,

It. F. D. 10, Wooster, Ohio, writes: “‘By
the changing of beds and the weather, I
took a very bad cold and sore throat.
Four doses of Foley's Honey and Tar
put me tight in a day's time. I never
