Stewart today was claim- ing support of the majority of the stockholders of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana while the Rockefeller taction, which seeks to remove him trom the chairmanship of the com- pany, laid claims to a majority of the votes. Before departing for Chicago after attending a meeting of the board of Jdirectors of the National City Bank, Colonel Stuart said: “The progress of the fight is satis- tactory. I have already received the support of a majority of the stock- holders—in fact a large majority. Our total of votes is increasing each his fight is to determine wheth- he wishes of a few investment stockholders are to triumph against the most pronounced opposition of he company’s employes, who, after ul. make the company. The em- ployes and the company’s consuming public want the present manage- ment and its policies continued.” In reply to this, Thomas W. De- representing the Rocke- , said: “I can't understand what Colonel Stewart means when he says he has « majority unless he means a ma- v of the number of stockholders. e are certain of a large major- of votes and our victory is a fore- zone conclusion.” ori GIRL SCOUTS ON HIKE 10 CAMP ON SATURDAY March Or Scheduled for Washin Be Carried Out.

First coples of the two-cent stamp issued Monday in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the surren- der of Fort Sackville, at what is now Vincennes, Ind., have been received by local philatelists. The stamp is an innovation in the regular stamps of the last few years, being printed in two colors. Of the same large size as the air mail stamp, it has a red border and a black centerpiece which bears a reproduction of Fred- erick C. Yohn's painting of the sur- render. ‘“‘George Rogers Clark” is above the medallion and “Vincen- n below, while the conventional expression of value and country of issue are to be fowhd on the stamp. This special issue was placed on sale | Monday at Vincennes and was made available at Washington and other post offices yesterdy. By an heroic forced march through drowned lands with a small force, George Rogers Clark per- formed one of the great but little | recognized feats of the revolution- ary war, surprising the British force at Fort Sackville and securing their | immediate surrender. This event opened the states of Ohio, Indiana, Tlinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin— | the old “northwest"—to the l'ni(edi States and paved the way for the ex- pansion which later reached to the Pacific coast. Will Hoovers Continue No Refreshments Policy? Washington, Feb. 27 P—Will Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hoover follow the “no refreshments” policy which has been adhered to at officlal White House receptions ever since the war? Washington society is won- dering. In the days of the Taft adminis- tration various dainties, ranging from a regular supper to ice cream and cake, were served. Then came the war and with the consequent stern economy edict the Wilsons set the pace by cutting the refresh- ments down to mere cold water. That has been the custom since. Those who like a bit of flourish and trimmings are wondering if the Hoovers, with their world-wide ex- perience in entertaining, will not let down the bars a bit and bring back the good old Taft days. “A bit of frosting in the White| House,” as one epicurean senator puts it. Eight Nationalities In Concert March 5 Eight nationalities will be repre- sented in song and costume at the concert to be given at Stanley Me- morial church Tuesday, March 5, it was announced by Walter Falk to- day. In a Scotch group Milton Magnu- son, tenor, of Hartford will sing a duet with Olive Ward, soprano. Lillian Josephson, soprano, will sing a duet with Mr. Falk bass, Miss; Josephson was the second choice in the first Kate Stanley scholarship contest. Others who will take part in the concert are Evelyn Reffelt, Grace MacCullough, Jean Stockwell, Ruth Richards, Ruth 8tockwell, Josephine Tommasoni, Arthur Johnson, Wil- liam Johnson Chester Hamilton and George Ward. Muriel 8tockwell Gooby, organist and director of the church quartet, has arranged the event. It requires more than a century for a cedar tree to grow large enough to yield a 30-foot telephone pole. KEEP LOOKING YOUNG The secret of keeping young is to feel young—to do this you must watch your liver and bowels—there’s no need of having a sallow complex- fon—dark rings under your eyes— pimples—a bilious look in your face —dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. Dr. Edwards, a well-known physi- clan in Ohlo, perfected a vegetable compound mixed with c.ive oil as a substitute for calomel to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patlents for years. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are gentle in their action yet always ef- fective. They bring about that na- tural buoyancy which all should en- joy by toning up the liver and clear- ing the system of impurities. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are known by their olive color. 135c, 30c and 60c. \\\\\\\\\\\“""""""""Il/l///////// PLOANs ™ N LINDY PLANS TRIP BY AIR WITH ANNE Plying Alfords Aviator Only (Chance to See Fiancee Alone Mexico City, Feb. 27 UP—An air excursion over Mexico City, possibly as far as the nearby twin volcanoes, with his fiances, Miss Anne Morrow, is planned by Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. After two days in the romance- laden atmosphere of sleepy old Cuer navaca, the aviator was back today in this capital, within easy reach of Valbuena flying field and his plane. Sometime _before the termination of his visit here, 1t s understood, the plane, the four passenger City of Wichita, will be trundled from its hangar for the trip of the en- gaged pair. 2 Flight from Valbuena to Mexico City is a matter of minutes; a short extension of the excursion would carry the two over Popocatepetl, “Fire Mountain,” and Txtaccihuatl, “Sleeping Woman,” snow-capped volcanic peaks 50 miles from the capital. Aztec legend made of Popoca- tepetl the abode of their war god and the plume of smoke which is sometimes seen over it gives rise even now to juperstitions fear among Mexican Indians. Part of the Colonel Lindbergh's courtship of Mias Morrow took place on a former flight of the two in this direction. While opportunity has not afforded frequent flights with her fiance, Miss Morrow ds an aviation enthusiast and is expected to fly often with him in the future. Return Unexpectedly Return of Colonel Lindbergh and Miss Morrow, her sister Elizabeth and Mrs. Morrow to Mexico City was entirely unexpected. A few minutes prior to their arrival by motor car the American embasry had given out the information that the stay at Cuernavaca was indefi- nite and plans of the affianced pair were not known. At Cuernavaca the aviator had the undisturbed qulet he has sought so much in the United States. With him was his fiancee and presumably the two exulted in the nearly ideal surroundings. Nevertheless the colonel apparent- ly became restless at the forty miles which separated him from Valbuena field and the opportunity to fly. It was believed the unexpected return here had no other significance. 8Save in flight there will be little opportunity for him and Miss Mor- row to be much alone, inasmuch as there are house guests at the Mor- row home and few places outside the home where they can go ané not be the center of an admiring throng. There was no intimation of plans for Colonel Lindbergh's return to the United States, or as to the date and place of his marriage. Y. M. C. A.

'TRIPLEX GOES SOUTH 10 CONTEST GOLDEN ARROW American and British Cars Will Compete Next Wednesday For Speed Laurels in Florida Daytona Beach, Fla,, Feb. 27 (P— { As if in answer to the roaring chal- lengs of Maj. H. O. D. Segrave's i mighty racing car, the Golden Ar- row, which in jts initial test clipped along at 180 miles an hour, the Tri- plex, owned by J. M. White of Phila- delphia, has arrived on the beach here, looking to its laurels as the world's fastest automobile. The international aspect for the racing meet, expected to start just a week from today, was real as Major Segrave sent his corps of mechanics | into the intricacies of his craft to iron out minor details, hoping to carry the title back to England again. Meanwhile, the Triplex, which has | traveled the fastest official mile ever | recorded, was guarded in its tem-, porary shelter in a box car until Mr. White, who arrived almost simul- taneously, can have it out for tests.

Aunt Hulda always attributed his recovery to her prayers.” In the 49 years since its organiza- tion the Bowery Mission, New York, has distributed 172,006 free meals and 5,000 articles of clothing.
