"Standard" the- Best Gasoline TOETROLEUM varies greatly according to its source. JL Some crude oil is best for one purpose while other grades are superior for different products. In many years of experimental work we have discovered that our widely varying sources of supply covering almost every ''developed field are of great value in contribu ting to the ideal balance in gasoline. You cannot get out of the motor anything more than you put into it via the carburetor. No amount of skill in operation will make a one-sided gasoline act like a balanced fuel. i A one-sided gasoline may be quick-starting, or be effi cient in ccrnc other one respect, but it is not capable of delivering the all-round efficiency of a well-balanced gjln A gasojjne 6f proper balance can be depended upon not only for quick-starting but forsmooth-running, maximum mileage, and a clean motor as well. ,,-... It is the easiest thing in the world to test this improved gasoline -yourself.- Wait until your tank is nearly empty and then try; out "STANDARD" MOTOR GASOLINE on hills with which you are familiar. You can buy it wherever you motor. STANDARD OIL COMPANY , (New Jersey) CONGRESS HAS WASTED NEARLY FIVE MONTHS Tariff and Taxation Seem far Aav Leadership is Wohhi. ing Farmers' BlMiTvVoTki The extra session of the 67th Con gress, called to revise the tariff and taxation laws, is about to enter jtiS fifth month with neither of these bill' anywhere near final passage and with even Republicans charging that Con gress is wasting a great deal of time and rapidly acquiring the reputation of a "do-nothing?' body. Senator Penrosejnow estimates that' it will not be possible to' pass a tari bill before November. The senate will no doubt emasculate the house bill Members of the "house ways and means committee are in a wrangle with the treasury department over the taxation bill and more or less gener al confusion reigns on capitol hill. Congress will have been in .session five months next Thursday. Its rec ord to ; date is not a gratifying one and the leadership in both houses ap pears wobbly. The extreme heat in Washington during the "dog days" has contributed to the ill-temper and irritation of the average member and men in both bodies are quarrelsome. Many members think Congress ougt.t to take a recess, that it would be best for Congress and the country. Others, looking over the record, argue that Congress has done so little it cannot afford to halt its slow mov ing machinery. Senator Simmons believes, he says, the only constructive thing Congress has done in the five months was the passage by the senate of the sub stitute for the Norris bill, which gives the war finance corporation addi tional capital and powers to make loans to agricultural associations and , Hanks engaged in financing fan.ieis. This is known as an administration measure, but the fact is that Serators Simmons and Smith of South Cm line; Eugene Myer, Jr., managing di rector, and Angus McLean, dur ito-, of the war finance corporation, had more to do with its framing than any one eke. If this bill does not mot the needs of agriculture, Congress nas done about all it can do in a legisla tive way to assist the farmer, 'lhe house is yet to pass the bill. Here lis a summary of the status of other legislation which Congress has essayed to pass during the extra ses sion: Permanent tariff bill, passed by the house but help up in the senate ami an indefinite delay in prospect. Penrose bill for the refunding ef the debts of foreign nations report. ) from the senate committee. Taxation bill in process of drafting by the house committee and lias long to go. Maternity and infancy bill passed by the senate but held up in the house Railroad settlement legislation, still before senate coemmittee. Soldier bonus bill recommitted to the finance committee, where it will remain for some time. Public welfare department bill mak ing no progress in either branch. Packers control bill conference re port adopted by the senate, but not yet a law. Good roads legislation deadlocked between the senate and hause because of the difference in the Townsend and Phipps-Dowell bills. Coal regulation bills sent back to senate committee. Anti-beer bill passed bv the senate, but now facing a filibuster in the house. To datp mnro fVlOtl 1fl(frt m'sinnc nf wim.1 J. V , U W pnv.. proposed legislation have been int rn) duced since the session opened, m ar ly four-fifths of them originating in the house. Of this conglomarate mass of bills and resolutions onlv a neg- lible percentage has a change nf passage. Those of really first import ance which have been passed by the two houses and have become opera tive can be counted upon the fingers of two hands. ..
