U. S. PREPARES

All Departments of the
Government Tabulating
Mass of Information.
BL A. L. BRADFORD.
Inked Tress Staff Correspondent.
Washington. Sept. 29. All depart,
r. .H of the government, under orders
, ; I 'resident Harding, are hard at
work tabulating a mass of information
f r use of the American delegates at
thr. conference on limitation of arma-i.-.'-nt.
officials have found that the arma-r-.nt
question is related to virtually
,:: t bases of governmental activity.
While the state department is try-
- to clear up some diplomatic prob-W-.V.R
preparatory to the conference, the
w;,r and navy departments are compil
i:uT the latest information regarding
'phting forces of the world.
The cost of war and prenaredness is
v. .na: tabulated for all nations bv the
Treasury. The effect of armament lim
itation on commerce and labor is being
tidied by Secretary of Commerce
Nnnver and Secretary of Labor Davis.
The drain of war on the coal and oil
werves of the world will be shown
!y the interior department, while the
nrricultural department has figures re
waling the effect of the last war on
fund production.
The greatest care is being exercised
in picking advisors and experts for the
American delegation who are thorough
ly versed in every angle of all these
problems.
With these physical perparations
even down to provision for the enter
tainment and comfort of the various
nelegations being rushed. Secretary of
State Hughes, head of the American
delegation was beginning to see com
i plete victory ahead for holding the
conference in acord with American
principles and plans.
Hughes has had two big difficulties
fo overcome in the negotiations he has
ronductpd to pave the way for the sue
restful opening of the "Washington con
ference. These were:
1. The desire of Great Britain,
prompted ny me nonunion premiers,
:o hold a preliminary conference on
the Par Eastern situation with the
Fnited States and Japan in London, a
plan which was finally dropped be
; cause of Secretary Hughes' insistence
I that there be only one conference, and
tlnt that be held in Washington.
? Japan's hesitance to agree to a.
I discussion among, all the powers, in
I the conference, of problems in the
Pacific and Far East, where Nippon
! holds she has a special position.
; In accepting President Harding's
sformal invitation to the conference, Ja
ipan noted reservations to the proposed
discussion of Pacific and Far Eastern
problems, and this ouestion has not
jUen completely settled yet.

T.ns Anereles. Calif.. Sept. 29. A
slieht earthauake shock was felt in
the southwest section of Los Angeles'
early this morning. The tremor lasted
but a few seconds and no damage wa3
Lima, Sept. 29. A cordial rap
prochment between the civilized peo
ples of the southern half of the New
World is the urgent and immediate need
of today, -said President A. B. Legula,
speaking at the opening of the Simon
Bolivar Museum, one of the features of
the centennial celebrations. The mu
seum building, the pregident- recalled.
w?s the same in which Bolivar, libera
tor c the northern republics of Srmh
America from Spanish rule, drw i:p
he invitation and bases for th. coi.
gxess t:f American republics and con
ceived, more than a century ago, the
idea for a society of nations to sore s
a council in great quarrels and a point
cf rovuact in case of common Gangi.-n:.
"Such was Bolivar's thought, a
thought which here took shape and
found a happy expression," continued
the president. "A century has passed
and events have proved for us that the
talented liberator was right and fore
saw future storms. My government is
therefore of the opinion that this occas
ion and thi spot are fitting to once more
proclaim after the lapse of years, the
need for a fraternal union vigorous
and sincere between the peoples des
cended from the same generous trunk
and their union further with all the
other peoples of America."
A new antichthonic league, composed
of people of one hemisphere, the presi
dent said, will unquestionably be the
"opus which the future conceals fiom
ua enshrouded in its impenetrable shad
ows. But that which today is pressing
the urgent and immediate need, is a cor
dial rapprochment between the peoples
of this hemisphere end' that an effec
tive deed of restitution shall extinguish
on American soil all intentions cf and
attempts at conquest."

RECORD SHATTERED
Dayton, Ohio, Sept. 29. Lieutenant
John A. MacReady, test pilot at Mc

vestigea of world's altitude record, attainting; a
height of 40,800 feet in the same La
Pere biplane used by Rudolph C,
Schroeder, who set a record of 23,180
feet on February 28, 1920.
Lieutenant MacReady was in the air
one hour and 47 minutes, requiring; all
but a few minutes of atotal flying; time
to reach his mark. At 39,000 feet ice
formed on his oxygen tank, but he
pressed on until the altimeter register
ed 41,000 feet. At this point his engine
coughed and died. He then glided safe,
ly to the ground.
Gasoline Varies
I III L.
vHoi Hi.
Just
as Crude Oil ' Does
ORDINARY gasoline varips
as widely in its qualities as
the crude petroleum from
which it is refined.
Many grades of commercial gasoline
are one-sided advantageous perhaps
for one purpose, such as quick starting,
but lacking in the all-around balance
that means consistently smooth, eco
nomical running. This one-sidedness
may be traced to the lack of diversity
in the basic crude.
The improved "Standard" Motor Gas
oline is the result of our access to
widely varying sources of supply cov
ering almost every developed field
and our many years of refining expe
rience. Its perfect balance you may
prove for yourself in your own motor.
Next time you need gasoline go to the
nearest dealer and ask for "Standard."
It costs no more than any other. Keep
filling up with "Standard" long enough
to prove its qualities.
You will soon notice that your motor
runs sweeter and cleaner. You will find
that you get more mileage per gallon
and have' less , of the more annoying
motor troubles. Your spark plugs and
valve seats can't carbonize so quickly
when practically every drop of tho
fuel burns clean.
You can now buy this improved motor
fuel wherever you motor. It will pay
you to fill your tank with it today.
