Originally he was sup posed to say a few lines and exit (rjght) forever. Soon dear, dear he had them re writing the show to make hira the star. Life is like that in the movies and the oil business. ' In one way, the oil business Is about as permanent as sky writing or the burning of At lanta. Some Jiminy Cricket is always coming along and mak ing us change the" whole scena riorebuild all the sets. Other wise Standard might still be drilling by the spring-pole method, refining in stills the , size of a big barrel, and deliv ering with horsu. The automobile was a Jiminy Cricket who switched the oil story from kerosene to gasoline. The Diesel engine may be the Jiminy Cricket of today. Maybe we haven't yet recognized the latest Jiminy Cricket at all. But tliis we know however expen sive it may be, change is con stantly inevitable. That's one reason we don't worry about Jiminy Crickets. W ells go dry. Refining methods grow obsolete. Standard spends a substantial part of every dol lar it takes in to keep up with the Jiminy Crickets the tal ents which unexpectedly steal the show of Progress.
