We think you'd like to know how the whole world responded to that emergency in exactly the fash ion old-time fire-horses used to leap under the harness at the sound of the alarm. Another company, drilling within a few hundred miles, offered its aid, and still another in near, yet distant Iran, put its equipment at our service. Cables clicked and wires hummed as officials in the San Francisco home office sought the fore most oil well fire-fighter in the country. A Texan; he flew to California to confer with our r-.'ople. He would, he agreed, pick up two assistants in Texas the next day, take the Atlantic Clipper and catch Imperial Airways for Bahrein Islands a "sleeper jump" by boat from the Ara bian field. Equipment would probably come from Europe by plane. At that point the Arabian crew put out the fire by them sches quite a feat. But it a'.I shows why oil well fires once a wasteful commonplace sel dom happen nowadays. Waste is something against which the oil imluiry, the world over, has taken a common front. And w aste like oil well fires is "out." ' Standard Oil Company of California Thorntons Feted At Large Party Saturday Evening Mr. and Mrs. Robert Y.
