H. H. HILL, Chemicat‘En- Increased gineer of the Bureau of Mines, in discussing the future of }as- oline says: “It is up to the refiners to. extract more of petroleum’s useful fac- tors from the crude.” Efficienc Imperative This he says can be effected through efficient management and by improved methods of cracking and blending. Mr. Hill thus expresses the opinion which has dominated the policy of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) for many years and has enabled this Com- pany to raise its efficiency peak year after year. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been a leader in developing pro- cesses to increase the yield of gasoline from crude oil. The best known and most successful of its improvements is the Burton process, originated in the laboratories of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Speaking of the Burton process, Mr. Hill saysthat “since it was first installed on a commercial scale it has produced approximately 40 million barrels of gasoline from heavy distillates, and has thus saved approximately 150 million bar- rels of crude that would have been necessary to produce an equivalent amount of gasoline.” This vast saving has been accomplished without sacrificing quality. «oc pie Red. Crown, the motor gasoline, made and: sold by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is acknowledged by petroleum chemists and other authorities to be the standard fuel for motor cars. Tt mofe than meets Government specifications, which require an initial of not more than 140 degrees F; 20 percent off at 221 degrees; 50 percent off at 284 degrees; 90 percent off at 374 degrees; and a dry point (complete vaporization) at not more than 437 degrees F. During the semi-annual test conducted in July 1920, the average for Red Crown Gasolint showed an initial ‘of 102 degrees F; 20 percent off at 210; 50 percent off at 281; 90 pércent off at 387; and a dry point of 427 degrees K. This shows an initial 38 degrees better than Government specifications, which means easy starting; 20 percent off at 11 degrees better than Government specifications; 50 percent off at 3 degrees better than Government specifications; and 90 percent-off thirteen degrees higher than Government specifications, which is more than made up by the 10 degrees difference in dry point. This proves that, notwithstanding the greatly increased quantity of gasoline which this Com- pany is able to take from the/crude, it has in no way sacrificed quality, and is angther indication that the large scale operations of this Company have worked to the distinct‘ advantage of every user of gasoline.

Hagen, manager insurance depart- ment, ‘ “This is shown by the fact that the department had reported 14,424 losses in 1920 as compared to 12,852 in 1919, or an increase of 1,572 losses, the re. port says. “The fact that we have been able to secure the services of befter adjusters and have supervised the work more carefully has made it possible to make fairer adjustments than even those of last year, and for that reason the total amount of in- demnity allowed will be considerably less in 1920 than in 1919, though the number of losses was greater.” The number of, acres insured in 1920 is about the same as in 1919, or 12,132,974 acres. “All this is subject to the hail in- demnity tax and, though it had been rumored that the tax would be greater this‘ year, we are glad to be able to’ announce that the tax rate is iden- tical to that of last year; namely, 25 cents per acre. This is in addition to the flat! tax of 3 cents per acre on all tillable lands,” the report con- tinues. The hail insurance fund receipts for 1920 show: receipts on 3 cent tax on 27,672,395 acres, $830,201.85; 25- cent tax on 12,152.974 acres, $3,033,- 243.50. Expenditures—payment of 14,424 losses, $3,472,630.42; estimated inter- est. at 6 per cent. per annum, $130,- 223.64; for anticipated abatements ang refunds, and for maintenance ex- pense, $260,590.29. ‘ Mr. Hagen declares. the ratio of overhead expense to receipts will be 2.85 per cent. and ‘declares/ that the private company’s overhead expense's run from 25 to 40 per cent as com- pared with the state.2.85 per cent. 25-CENT MEAL TO BE EATEN BY HOTEL MEN New York, Nov. 9. —Hotel proprie- mens’ exposition. will partake of a 25 cent meal on Ellis Island this week on the invitation of Frederick Wal- 1ace, immigration commissioner.

The Edison Phonograph of today is a better phonograph and a better value than the Edison Phonograph of 1914. Qn the other hand, the dollar of today i8 worth, in purchasing power, only a little more than half as much as the dollar of 1914. Therefore, if you buy an Edison Phonograph at this time, you are virtually buying a before-the-war value, with an after-the-war dollar. Why it is that Edison did not increase , his prices and how did he avoid the necessity of doing so? Any commercial agency and practically any inyestment banker can ascertain for you that the Edison Phonograph Laboratories. were doing business, in 1914, on a narrower margin of profit than was true of any of the other established phonograph, or talking machine, manufacturers. How, then, did Edison manage to avoid an increase in his selling prices? The story is dramatically interesting. The following is only the essence of it: When the United States of America entered the Great War, Mr. Hdison dropped all his work at the Edison Lab- _ oratories pas enlisted in the army of ‘Americail nfgry w#igcience, who pitted _themselves so successfully against the world-famed German scientists. Card- inal Mercier, on his recent visit to America, credited Mr. Edison with a large share in winning the war for the Allies. The New York American of September 5th describes, at length, some of the inventions, which Mr. Edi- son developed and placed at the disposal of the Govrenment. In this article, the New York American states that Mr. Edison appears to have been the moving spirit of the Naval Consulting Board of the United States. When Mr. Edison gave up his own business for the business of the Nation, a very critical situation existed in his Manufacturing Laboratories, due to their inability to obtain various ma- terials, and the necessity of finding sat- isfactory substitutes for such materials. If there was ever a time in Mr. Edi- son’s career, when his personal atten- tion to his business was required, it was wken he went to war. Thomas A. Ediscn'had reason to belieye that he was risking enormous losses by desert- ‘ing his business, at the particular time in question, but he did not hesitate, and his example had a remarkable influence on the men and women, who remained behind. From the humblest workman to the highest paid executive in the Edi- son organization, everyone seemed de-: termined “to make good, while the Old ‘Man was away.” Vacations were passed up and doctor’s orders were ignored by zealous employees, and, as a result, the Edison Manufacturing Laboratories were one of the few manufacturing con- cerns in the United States, where there was no Joss of efficiency, during the war, and where there was, infact, an increase in efficiency. During the war, Mr. Edison spent most of his time on the sea coast or at sea. On those rare occasions, when he visited the Edison Laboratories, it was difficult to gain his attention, for more than a few minutes, with reference to - business matters. He did, however, state that the Edison Phonograph was his pet invention and he hoped that his business associates would be able, in some way or other, to avoid any in- crease in price, and that, if therd must ‘be an increase, he wanted such increase to be just as small as it could possibly be made. Mr. Edison said: “I am willing to stand the gaff. Music is an important thing. »Let us make it as easy as possible for people to have music in their homes in these nerve- racking days.” What was the result? The wonder- ful realism of the New Edison, “The Phonograph with a Soul,” made it, de- sired above all other phonographs, and its sale was stimulated by the fact that the increase in price was negligible. The demand soon far outstripped the sup- ply. Overhead and sales expense were reduced to the minimum and, thanks to Mr. Edison’s ‘willingness to abgorb a large. share of the increased cést of manufacture, it was possible for the Edison Laboratories, by accepting a merely nominal profit, to avoid any sub- stantial increase ir, the selling price of the Edison Phonograph. It will be many years before the gen- eral level of commodity prices is as low as the present price of the Edison Phon- ograph. Leading bankers have ex- pressed themselves as willing to lend money on Edison Phonographs, because they know the selling prices of Edison Phonographs are not going to be reduced Let us reiterate that when you buy an Edison Phonograph today you buy a before-the-war value with an after- the-war dollar. If you have any fear that there may be a reduction in the prices of Edison Phonographs, we are prepared to give you full assurance on that point.
