Dutch Queen Addresses U. S. Congress Sometimes an Elephant CAN'T TN JL n COMMON with other members of the Animal Kingdom, so elephant can't be his usual self when suffering from sluggishness. Neither can five elephants. This natural born answer to a $(54-question we learned only recently. There was also the case of the goose with the singed goose flesh. But skip it. We're merely trying to suggest the variety of out-of-our-line things we do solely because folks have a habit of turning to Standard as to a friend. We're just starting when we say we've found relatives, fought fleas, done puzzles and repaired elephants. Neither handy-man nor gen eral information bureau is Standard even if we can tell you where to buy good gaso line. But we figure that when anyone asks us for help, bow ever quaint, it's of especial im portance to him. We put hit rating on it. If he only asks the time, we figure he needs to know the time right now. Ob, yes, those elephants came out all right. A barrel of Stand ard White Oil No. 9 fixed them up. And a good thing, too. A whole movie company on loca tion was stalled because its elephant-actors wouldn't act when off their feed. No elephant doctor was within leagues. But Standard responded instantly when a long-distance call said "Please do something." Standard Oil Company of California 4cl H 'i - if!

OF SERVICE MEN STILL COMING IN The Army-Navy Relief Cam paign committee is still receiv ing subscriptions, several solic tors in out-of-town districts hav ing sent in their funds during the past week. While the drive for funds is continuing through out the fall In the eastern states, here many relief benefit events are being held, the local com mittee urges that the few re maining Jackson county solici tors who have been delayed in completing their canvassing en deavor to do so this week. Funds should be left with Dwight Houghton, committee treasurer for Jackson county, at the United States National bank. Approximately 20 solicitors have yet to be heard from, and completion of their work will save the committee in charge of the drive, time, rubber and gas oline, it was pointed out. The drive has been very successfol and the final report will be made public -as soon as the last solicitor can be checked on. The committee today expressed appreciation of the public spirit ed way in which the solicitors undertook to make the drive successful and thanked the pub lic for its patriotic response. from coal can be sufficiently developed in time to ease the present east coast fuel shortage. But he is looking to the time in the distant future when crude oil scarcities arise and some substitute must be em ployed for the natural product. He believes that a simplifica tion of the coal-into-gasolinc process can be used in some of the big refineries of the eastern seaboard. He explained that while most of the refineries are not built to withstand the high pressures needed for the process, they can adapt themselves to the relatively low pressures used In the ."mild hydrogenation" fuel oil. has been' averted, Col. Dache M. Reeves, commanding the 1st ground air support unit of the 1st air force, said in making the disclosure yesterday.

SIMON BENSON RITES IN PORTLAND TODAY Portland, Aug. 10 (Fu neral services were held here today for Simon Benson, pioneer northwest lumber and hotel man, who died Wednesday in Los Angeles. Governor Sprague headed the list of honorary pallbearers. Pittsburgh (U.R) A new meth od of making gasoline from coal will be experimented with here by a federal chemist in an $85,- 000 experimental plant to be erected at the United States Bureau of Mines. The Senate appropriations committee has authorized con struction of the plant in Pitts burgh for the collection of data on the production 'of gasoline from coal. In it, Dr. Henry H Storch, principal physical chem ist for the mines bureau, will direct his research into new channels. Recognized as the pioneer in synthetic gasoline research in this country, Dr. Storch already is producing gasoline from coal by the Bergius "high pressure" method developed in Germany. Butene Is By-Product Now, the chemist will attempt to develop the other German- discovered method known as the Fischer - Tropsch process. This process has as a by-product butene, an important ingredient of butadiene, the raw material used for synthetic rubber. Six years ago, Dr. Storch be gan producing gasoline by the Bergius process. He is now pro ducing 50 pounds of gasoline about seven gallons a day by this method from 100 pounds of bituminous coal, in a small coal hydrogenation plant at the bureau of mines here. The government wants him to fathom the secrets of the other German process now, hence the grant for the new plant. Both methods of hydrogenation were developed in Germany and both have been closely guarded se crets of the Nazis. Won't Help Present Shortage Dr. Storch holds little hope that manufacture of gasoline AIR PRIORITY OFFICE Washington, Aug. 10 (In cluded in seven regional air priorities control offices being established by the air transport command to expedite air ship ments will be one at Seattle for the district embracing Wash ington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. IRRIGATION PEAK Peak of the irrigation season will be reached this week with the last soaking of pear or chards before the Bartlett pick ing starts next week. The Med ford irrigation disrict from pres ent conditions will close the season "in fair condition, and better than expected," according to Ed N. Judd, manager. The Talent district has a good sup ply of water left, he reported. If no rains come, a pinch may be felt in September, Judd stat ed, but the need of much water will be over by that time. The June rains saved the day, according to Judd. Otherwise, the valley would now present' a "scorched earth" appearance. Harvesting of the grain crop is proceeding well despite a labor shortage. Most of tha potato crop has been dug, also some of the early onions. Beth are minor crops. Dm UaU Tribune Kant ads.
