It claimed 670,000 victims last year and was responsible for almost 14,000 deaths. Striking only when a person is seated behind the steering wheel of an automobile, this disease is called “ac- celentis." Its symptoms are a heavy foot and a light head, a com bination which usually results in insane speed The virus of this disease attacks the mind and destroys all habits of cour tesy and caution. Excessive speed — "acceleritis' — is regarded as the greatest single cause of traffic accidents and deaths. Although no known vaccine has been developed to com bat this mental sickness, preventive medicine measures can be applied to young persons through high school courses in proper driving. In cases of incurables, a driver's license can be taken, away in order to remove an individual as a high way menace. And as for the rest of us—we must see to it that we al ways drive at a speed suitable to the conditions of traffic and weather. To end the modem sickness of “acceleritis”, the best available remedy is simply to slow down so that you andi- other.- may live.—Star Valley Independent (Afton.

Standard Oil Company of California has to have money coming in to keep going. And like you. we must divide every dollar of this income into quite a few pieces to keep the bills paid. Our budgeting is naturally on a large scale, but the result is about the same: most of the money Standard takes in goes right back into circulation. And when a sum like $1.229.000.000 our total in come last year goew into circulation, its benefits are broad and deep. Practically everyone in the West shared, directly or indirectly, in Standard’s good year. We thank you for your patronage that made it possible. And we’d like you to know that a sizable piece of change from each of our dollars goes for things that improve service to you: research facilities for development of better products at low cost: new plants to make them more available: widespread ex ploration for new petroleum fields to help keep America's oil barrel full. To do these jobs, now and for the future, here’s how we changed a Standard dollar: tng capital and debt. This $20 million increased inventories of products for future sale and included pax ments on debt. ^8^ from every dollar went for wages, services and goods Of this $471,500.000 the largest item ' as f. r payroll, vacations, sickness pay ments. other employee benefits Moat of the rest went to buy supplies, from paper clips to steel, bought locally when possible Standard was a cus tomer of thousand» of Western firms . 18 paid for other new construction and exploration.
