CHANCES IN SPAIN War ‘Started the Movement, and Its g Popularity Does Not Seem to Have Greatly Abated With Advent of Peace. While the war was absorbing. the at- tention of the English, sport in gen- seral and polo and horse racing in par- ticular took refuge'in Spain under the Pprotection of King Alfonso. It seems§ ‘that the coming of peace and the re- turn. of the sport: to . England and ‘France 'has ‘not ‘found the, Spaniards ccomplishments. Rather, they: have gone In for more'of them.

A few days ago I made a round of all the amusement places in Seville, beginning- with a sort of ‘musical costume play (the very tune- tul ‘Song of Forgetfulness’) at a thea- ter at 5:30 p. m. and ending at 1 a. ‘m. in a“workman's dance hall. The .play was ‘described as ‘Vermouth,’ but the refreshments sold were chocolate and—cold water! . . “Atter dinner ‘I went to.a popular amusic-hall: where Spanish dances are ‘exhibited, then to a cheaper hall (en- trance fee about 5 cents), and finally 1o ‘the dance hall.

( : “ Playing N Favorites In the matter of HE crude petroleum market plays no favorites. All ‘refiners come to it on equal ‘terms. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is no exception to this rule. It buys the crude oil it needs in the open market and pays the market price. Only an infinitesimal 8art of the crude oil used by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) comes from wells in which it has even an indirect interest. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) concen- trates its attention upon the highly special- jzed business of refining crude oil. " It sticks to its knitting. In the past four ?'ears the demand for the refined products of petroleum has more than doubled, while the increase in the. production of crude has been only about 25 percent. This growing demand, plus the increased cost of drilling and equipping wells, has caused the price of crude petroleum to advance. The market price of crude oil is a dominant factor in the price which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) charges for gasoline. Wherever possible the Company anticipates the trend of the market in making its con- - tracts for crude petroleum. Whatever bene- fits it derives acCrues to the public in lower gasoline prices. The price charged by the Standard Qil Com- gany .(Indiana) for gasoline has advanced, ut not to the extent warranted by the ad- vance in the cost of crude oil. The cost of this commodity to the consumer ~would be very much higher were it not for the fact that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), through more efficient refining methods, is able to utilize and make into useful products all portions of the crude petroleum. The extreme economy and efficiency of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) refining and distributing methods have acted as a deterrent upon the upward trend of gasoline prices. This Company gives its customers in the 11 Middle Western states which it serves the benefits derived from any savings which it effects in the refining of gasoline and other petroleum products. .
