Consolidation of the Standard Oil
company of Californ'a and the Pa
cific OH company, announced to
n'cht in New York, will make the
new organization the strongest on
largest in tho country. Total as
sets of the new company will be
approximately $450,000,000.
. The merger was considered here
to be afi "Ideal consolidation" in
that the Pacific company is pure
ly a producing company with the
largest undeveloped land holdings
In Cnl'fnrnla while the Standard
has limited holdings but has an
extensive d'strlbuting system.
Move No Surprises
Although the announcement did
not como as a surprise to observers
elose to the management of the
two companies no financ'al news
in a long time has caused more
comment In California than the
announcement tonight.
That the merger was anticipated
was Indicated by the stock move
ment of tho two companies during
the past two weeks. Pacific Oil

L'orols Popular In Europe
"Carols are more popular In
Europe than here," says Mr. Sei
fert, "especially In England, Wales
and Germany It is very common
for groups of singers to ro about
the streets at night during the
Christmas holiday season, singing
such old favorite carols as "Blest
be the Tie that Binds,' and 'God
rest ye Merry Gentlemen.'"
mere has been a Dronounced
awakening of Interest in carols
over the country. At last Christ
mas time, groups were organized
here in Eugene to go about the
streets singing carols."
Air. Seifert then told of an ex
perience he had in Philadelphia
some years ago. An effort was
made to find out whether theatre
audiences were familiar with the
old carols. Mr. Slefert had charge
of this work ln some ot the largest
theatres in the city, and the result
of the Investigation showed a sur
prising number who knew, the old
carols.
Many New Songs Written '
"There are many good carols
that have recently been composed.
borne ot tne most prominent com
posers are Dudley Buck, Henry
Hadley, ond C. Whitney Cooms.
But the old carols are being sung
too. In fact, they probably are
sung more. They have endured
for a long time, while. those writ
ten now are generally sung for a
season or two and then forgotten;
though some are probably great
enough to be of permanent value.
"The carol, is primarily a folk
song. All the old carols sprang
from the heart. But generally the
original tunes have been perfected,
and given a definite form, and set
down by some composer. That is
to say, the carols are often, folk

"The increase of interest in

increased interest in religious mat

think the singing of carols has
helped to awaken Interest in re

"Don't you think bo for a min
