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

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

up. And a good thing, too. A
whole movie company on loca

wouldn't act when

doctor was within leagues. But
Standard responded instantly
when a long-distance call said
"Please do something."

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

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.
