We do not need the ideal of immortalty so much on account of future rewards and punishments, but to give life its continuity and its meaning. For without it life would be fragmentary and meaningless. “But who shall assure us of im- mortality. We are shut up to one source.

(Proparea by the United States Department of -Agriculture.) ‘The United States is now in a period of great highway development, and in a few years many roads, which now carry only local traffic originating largely within five or ten miles of the road, will be carrying a large percent- age of through traffic, much of it com- ing from outside the state. This is the opinion of officials of the bureau of public roads, United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, based.upon the report of two traffic censuses taken by the. bureau in co-operation with the state highway department of Connectl- cut. ¢ The roads selected were part of a fairly complete system of highways. The first census showed an average of 2,007 passenger cars and 281 trucks passing the recording station.a day; and the second, 3832 cars and 511 tracks. Forty-seven per cent®of the cars came from within the “state. Drivers were questioned as to:levigth showed average figures of 70 miles and 52.4 miles for the two censuses. The average haul for truck traffic was 47.5 miles, some of them hauling a distance of 250 miles. Officials point out that traffic of this nature has de- veloped In a period of something like ten years on a road which prior to A Federal-Aid Gravel Road. ~ 1910 carried almost entirely local traf- fie. -It must be concluded, therefore, they say, that roads which are now be- ing tmproved to form part of through highway routes should be designed to take care of a great deal more than the local traffic or that which is ex- at intervals by eagles are 48 me- morial festoons, one for each state existing at the present time.

Times are changed—a dog’s life isn’t what it used to be, observes the Los Angeles Express. Know what they're dolng for the poor things now Instead of leaving them to the unskilled maid for their weekly baths, the poor Pomerapian and Pekingese pets of the rich? Open- ing bathing establishments. And it will not be long before Los Angeles, follows the lead of Parls and has its own dog bathhouse, if the plans of the enthusiasts who want their dogs to “put on dawg” are realized. A fashionable dog's life is a verit- able path of roges if the word of the attendants at the canine bathing estab- lishment be accepted. Fido rides to the baths in a luxurious motor car; an attendant carries him in and escorts him to his private compartment, where it's hot or cold dog, according to-his pleasure, After the bath experienced masseurs pay their respects to his highness the pup, while a manicurist shapes his aristocratic claws, When the veter- Inarian determines that his health is all his owner could desire he re-en- ters the motor car and returns home to a meal of porterhouse steak. Selzed Their Opportunities, At the beginning of the great war, Christiania tried to husband her max power by employing women as street ‘cair. conductors.

TROVBLE WITH Yol \S, YA DONY KNOW GOOD AGTING WHEN NOU SEE T Service Rendered by Co-operation NE of the most igrfect forms of industrial service is that which results from co-opera- tion between manufacturer and consumer. Recognizing this, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has developed a service bureau headed by lubricating engineers of wide experience ‘ whose business it is to co-operate with designers, T ' . manufacturers and users of all types of machi- nery that they may_get a maximum of correct lubrication at 'a minimum of cost. In developing this service the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) had a two-fold motive— first that Standard Oil products shall render the utmost of service and second that the user shall get full value for the money he spends. As a result of this service the customer finds it unnecessary to carry on costly experiments. The lubricating specialists of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) will, upon request, study his problems and tell him the exact oils and greases needed to insure correct lubrication of his machinery. This highly specialized service is rendered without cost. It is one of the underlying princi- les of this Company that the customer must Ee given the benefit of our wide experience, that his lubricating costs per year may be as low as possible. In the individual plants, large and small, which the lubricating engineers of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). have served, this principle is we]rrecognizcd, Plenty of oil does not necessarily mean good lubrication. Correct lubrication consists in ap- plying the right oil in the right place in the right way. To enable its patrons to achieve correct lubrication is the busines of the lubricating engi- neers of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This lubrication service is but one of the many specialized ways in which the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) serves industry and hence serves society. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.
