RUSSIAN OIL LANDS SUBJECT OF DEBATE All Principals Deny Gi\iiug Brit- ain Any Leases Genoa, - May 8, (By Associated Press).—Oil was a live subject for B discussion in Genoa conference circles today, with everybody denying that anything definite had beenf done about disposing of Russie's big oil fields or granting monopolies for the distribu- tion of the oil produced there.

Boyle, representative of the Shell Transport and Trading Co. issued a statement declaring it absolutely untrue that his ¢ompany had made new contracts with the Russians. “My company has had negotiations with the soviet, based on former and still existing trade ,agreements be- tween England and the soviet for several months concerning oil con- cessions but nothing is settied,” he said. "I met M. Krassin (soviet min- ister of foreign trade) in Genoa and told him I could net discuss conces- sions until the conference was ended and we knew the exact relations be- dtween our governments.' “On the other hand some o# the delegations say they have information that important contracts have been signéd and only need ratification by the Moscow government. These con- tracts are alleged to provide for a monoply of the distribution of half, and some say thé whole of Russia's oil output. confmcr@ IS DBAD William J.

Medieal and hygienic science have ad- vanced to such a point that by far the greater proportion of the disease and suffering in the world can be pre- vented if men and women but knew how to keep themselves healthy by their own intelligent volition.” The definite methods by which Red Cross activity can be directed to this end, the director gencral of the lea- gue sald, are three: The enlighten- ment of public opinion by popular health instruction, the development of public health nursing, and the exten- sion of the Junior Red Cross, the children's branch. He gave many details of the re- markable work accomplished by the school children of America during and since the war and he helieved the Junior Red Cross movement, more than anything else, would effect a revolution in the world’s outlook upon the problem of preventable disease and avoidable misery. the | G, CAHILL COMPANY IN HANDS OF RECEIVER /| Pirm With Branch in Meriden and Plainville, Finds This Step Necessary.

It is full of snap and quickness, but it is also full of vigor and punch. It is a balanced gasoline—a scien- tific combination of the lighter or more volatile elements needed for easy starting and sure combustion, and the heavier calorific fractions required for high expansive force. Atlantic needs no coaxing when starting the motor. It needs no urging at the getaway. It asks no frequent gear-shifting help on the hills. And speed! “Hit sixty” or more, if you like, and the peppery “zing” will tell you that Atlantic can keep up with the fastest running motor ever built! i All of which proves that Atlantic is not simply “good” gasoline, but RIGHT gasoline. It has range. It functions perfectly at every speed and temperature and under every load. 1Tt isn’t wasted under one operating condition and power-skimped under another. Atlantic is correct for present-day motors. And it is always correct—consistently uniform, no matter where or when you buy it. “There’s an Atlantic Pump on the road you are traveling” ATLANTIC GASOLINE | PutsPepinYour Motor POLLY AND HER PALS iLL SPEAK 0 HER MYSELF!
