A CENTURY
of progress
IN 24 YEARS
BECAUSE waterholes along
the way were natural filling
stations for their oxen, the pio
neers who settled the Pacific
Coast were able to cross the
plains beginning just a cen
tury ago. Without water spaced
at intervals their motive power
would have failed and progress
would have come a cropper in
the desert.
The coastward trek of a peo
ple was a tremendous develop
ment. Yet it influenced the life
of the nation perhaps less than
the spread of the gasoline serv
ice station, which today allows
Americans to travel anywhere
over desert or mountain or
along the busiest highway
without fuel-worry whatever.
Not only was the first gaso
line service station opened by
this Company but also the first
system of service stations in the
world. Back in 1914 it estab
lished 19 stations. Since then
good roads, the increase in au
tomobiles, and the universal
desire to go places and do
things have made the service
station an integral part of al
most every American's pattern
of living.
Wherever you go you know
you'll find dependable, roadside
service. For service stations
have, in a quarter century,
formed a network reaching
from Greenland's mountains to
India's strand making gaso- .
line the easiest thing in the
world to buy.

Says Townsend Plan Workable
To the editor:
A few days ago you were wondering
how strong a part the Townsend
vote played In the Idaho primaries.
The reports on that election are In
the last Townsend Weekly and claim
a 100 percent victory for Townsend -ism.
D. Worth Clark for senator and
Compton I. White for congress are
both definitely pledged and Bert
Miller for congress has been a hard
Townsend worker even before a club
was .formed.
I do not know what methods were
used In Idaho but the plans in Cali
fornia were openly discussed when I
attended the Townsend convention
In June.
At that time all Townsendltes In
California had changed their regis
tration to the Townsend party but
the party did not have a full ticket
Quite a few cana mates that they
wanted to vote for were on either
one or the other major parties, so
the candidate that they wanted to
vote for was picked and all Town
sendltes In that district registered
back Into that candidate's party, and
yesterday told the tale.
"Unethical, immoral?" Not a bit
of It. All is fair In love, war and
politics, and Townsendltes know how
to play politics as well as the best
of them.
The results of the various elections
shows that the Townsendltes are be
coming pretty well regimented, and
that means they are now a very
definite factor to reckon with.
And remember the .Townsend plan
is not an "old age pension" but Is
a very definite and workable plan to
Ret this country back on Its feet
economically.

TO BASKETBALL
AS FILM VEHICLE
By Alexander Kahn
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
HOLLYWOOD (UP) Seeking a
new background for the frequently
made college pictures, the studios
have turned to basketball as a phase
of athletics rarely touched In the
films.
Every studio In Hollywood annu
ally makes a football picture and
these pictures annually make money.
In addition, these college pictures
have touched upon baseball, track
and swimming, but for some reason
basketball has been overlooked.
Interest in basketball, aside from
the funs who follow the sport season
after season, reached a new peak
during the past few years with the
rise of Hank Lulsettl, called the Babe
Ruth of the game.
Lulsettl and his Stanford univer
sity teammates won several national
and Paflclc coast championships and
Lulsettl himself set an all-time scor
tng record the past year.
The popularity of Lulsettl and his
fellow players led Paramount studio
to investigate the possibility of a
picture based on the sport. A story
was drafted and won the approval
of studio executives.
So Lulsettl, Art Stoffen, H. B. Lee
and Dlnty Moore, all of the Stan
ford team, were signed for the pic
ture titled "Campus Confessions."
Hollywood's criticism of sports as
a source of story material Is that,
with the exception of football, they
lack the close physical contact that
makes the audience sit up In their
seats.
A secondary criticism Is that it Is
difficult to sustain the suspense for
any length of time. Basketball, how
ever, carries sustained Interest be
cause the play does not stop often
and the score may see-saw back and
forth between the teams.
Director George Arch ain baud, after
studying the game from a film view
point, reported that the close, intri
cate play, the frequent scoring and
the physical contact was such that
he expected basketball pictures to
rival football films In popularity.
BOYS GET RESULTS
HOLDING COURT
IN BICYCLE CASES
CANTON, O. (UP) Canton's nov
el "bicycle court" Is irked by disre
spectful offenders and is cracking
down on them.
The court tries cyclists who disre
gard the traffic rules. Ib has han
dled 149 cases In its four months
of existence.
Members of the court, who are
high school students, are losing
their patience with offendera who
do not take their fines and sentences
seriously.
"Chief Justice" Earl Wise gave
James Stevens, 18-year-olo messen
ger boy, the most severe sentence
ever meted out by the court.
Stevens had pleaded not guilty to
a stop sign violation. His attitude
toward the court was most disre
spectful. Justice Wise turned the messenger
boy over to police court. Here he
was fined (5.
Safety Director Ralph A. Bauhof
approved of the procedure.
"This court operates the same
as a municipal court and all per
sons pleading guilty will be turned
over to municipal or Juvenile court.
There the defendants will have a
chance to appear with the arrest
ing officers and a fine may be im
posed," Bauhof said.
Charges brought against cyclists
Include: Failure to obtain a license,
violating signal stop, violating stop
ordinance, failure to have head
light or reflector after dark and
riding on wrong side of street.
"Prosecutor" Robert Domer said
that disrespectful offenders are in
the minority, however.
"Most of the defendants take It
pretty seriously and we have had
only four second or third repeat
violations." he said.

lice department, guards the court

COLLECTOR KEEPS
!
NEW ORLEANS. (UP) James Nel
son Gowanloch, chief biologist of the
state conservation department, can
trace the history of flying in his
collection of air mall covers.
He became interested In the- hobby
several years ago when he was en
gaged In marine research In Canada
and became acquainted with the
pilots who flew the mall from Port
McMurray, Alberta, to Aklavlc In the
Arctic circle.
Now the collection contains almost
4,000 items, some of which Gowan
loch keeps under filters for protec
tion from light.
Although Wilbur Wright carried no
mall on his epic hop from the sand
dunes around Kitty Hawk, N. C, on
Dec. 17, 1903, Gowanloch has a
Wright cover.
It la a letter flown and autographed
by Orvllle Wright. co-Inventor of the
airplane, on the 25th anniversary
flight at Kitty Hawk.
Other choice Items in his collection
Include:
An envelope bearing the cachet of
the Deutsche Luftpost the German
airmail marking the initial flight of
the first Zeppelin; a letter from the
first flight of the Graf Zeppelin
across the Atlantic in 1928: a cover
from the mail in the Graf Zeppelin
that made the first round-the-world

HEALTH OF YOUTH
OF
ENT
MONTREAL (UP) Malnutrition,
unsanitary living conditions and lr-
regular domestic arrangements are
gravely menacing the present and
future health of unemployed youth
here, the McGltl university depart
ment of social research reveals In a
statistical study on nutrition:
The survey was made by Dr. Leon
ard Marsh, director of the depart
ment, in collaboration, with Dean
Grant Fleming of the faculty of
medicine and Dr. C. P. Blackler, for
merly social research assistant at MO
GUL The report declares that 80 per
cent of the unemployed youth of
Montreal Is undernourished and
urges a fuller investigation lntq the
effects of poverty upon youth.
"Growing boys need adequate food
If they are to maintain growth as
well as vigor, while the effects of
undernourishment are likely to have
more serious repercussions during
youth than Its occurrence later In
life," the report states.
"Using the same standards as for
the adults, the nutritional status of
53 percent of the boys was judged
to be below average, while nearly a
third were classed as poor or def
initely malnourished."
The report states that not only
was there definite malnourlshment
found but also other detrimental
factors In a large proportion of the
youth of unemployed famllled.
Among the other factors, "most Im
portant Is the facti that poverty
means overcrowding, which In turn
frequently means loss of sleep, un
sanitary living conditions And Irreg
ular domestic arrangements.'
"Unsatisfactory housing, fatlguro
and malnutrition Interact on each
other and all of these on the gen
oral state of health," the report adds.
"It Is clear that a fuller Inquiry Into
these Important aspects of Juvenile
life and labor is badly needed.
