RERERE ST BEMIDJI PROUD OF STATE EDITORS Well, the summer outing of the Northern Minnesota Edit- orial association passed with the auto trip to Lake Itasca state park, Sunday, and it was a meeting of varied program, enter- tainment and interest to all concerned. The response to the in- vitations of the membership to be present was generous. newspaper men, not members, Other were here, while several dis- tinguished guests graced the occasion by their presence. There was none of the flambouyant or sterotyped inci- dents. . The editorial brethren, many of them, brought their wives, and had a good time in the cool breeze from the lake. They were dined in many ways, held their sports, danced, vis- ited, saw the places of interest in this red blooded part of the state, marvelled at the modern city of Bemidji and what im- provements it is making, met the best people in the best city of its size in the state, and departed for their homes glad to have attended the annual summer session of the association.

Her justification is powerfully por- trayed by Alice Joyce as Shirley in “The Lion and the Mouse,” the Vita- graph super-feature, which will be ‘seen in the Grand theatre tonight and Tuesday. “The Lion and the 'Mouse” is adapted from the famous stage suc- cess of the same name, written by the late Charles Klein, and was pro- duced under the personal supervi- sion of Albert E. Smith, president of Vitagraph. In the supporting cast are Conrad Nagel, Anders Randolf, Henry Hallam, T. W. Carlton. Mona Kingsley, Jane Jennings, W. H. Bur- ton, Templer Saxe, and Mary Carr.

A delightful story in every respect, “Three Men and a Girl,” Marguerite Clark’s Paramount picture which will be shown at the Elko theatre tonight and Tuesday, is based upon Edward Childs Carpenter’s stage success, ““The Three Bears." The theme deals with three men, all of them woman haters ,and a vivacious girl who, to escape an odious marriage, finds ref- uge in the summer camp where the men had gone to escape women. The photoplay is one of exceptional interest and it affords Miss Clark an- other delightful role. A special “Big V" two-part comedy is also on the Elko program tonight and tomorrow. ADVENTURE IN LOVE. Bryant Washburn, Anna Q. Nilsson and Margery Wilson are leading players in “Venus In the East.”” Para- mount photoplay based on the fam- ous magazine story of that name, which will be shown in the Elko theatre Wednesday and Thursday.

Phone 181 _ i The Explosion ef An Ancient Legend LETTER received last week from one A'who signs himself “Constant User” asks why the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) insists that the gravity test for gasoline is a fallacy. Not having his address we are answering the inquiry here. When the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) began manufacturing gasoline the surest, safest, most practical method known for determining the quality of the product was’ by testing it with a, hydrometer. In those days all of the crude oil used came from a single locality. It was of the same base always and the products refined from it were uniform. . As the industry grew and oil wells were found in widely separated localities it was discovered that™ the crude varied so greatly even when taken from wells in the same locality that the hydrometer no longer could be depended upon to indicate the quality of the refined product with satisfactory exactness. Some other system of measurement had to be used. The chemical engineers employed by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), who were asked to solve the problem, suggested that the boiling points of the several fractions, which go to make gasoline, would give the desired result. They would be constant and the useful- ness of the product would not vary so long as the range of boiling péint fractions remained unchanged. . The practical usefulness of the suggestion * was irll)stantly recognized, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) immediately adopted it as the basis of their manufacturing practice. By making its product -conform to the boiling point standard, it was possible to guarantee |} uniform results at all times, even though the l GRAHAM M.
