A Traffic Solution—
(Nation's Business.)
The small town of yesterday had
no traffic Jams or parking problems.
The shopper tied his hors* to a bitch-
ing post and walked Into a store to
make his purchases at his leisure.
Email towns and cities knew the
crowded sidewalk of Saturday eve-
nings. Merchants rejoiced.
Into this pleasant plctore labored
the early antomoblie which was re-
placed presently by one that labored
less and then by whole droves of auto-
mobile*. The bitching poet became a
“no parking” sign and the water
trough a filling station.
People could come from great dis-
tances to do their shopping but It
developed that they had no place to
park when they got there. The mer-
chant on Main etreet found that con-
gestion on the paving In front of his
store did not mean congestion In the
aisles. A Lot Angela* grocer thought
deeply on this. HI* (torn was In a
congested traffic area.
Braving the warnings of his friends,
he left the crowded street for one
even more crowded, an area in which
no buslnees could survive. An area
charted and llghthoused as a “dead
area.”
There he opened the first drlve-ln
market In Los Angeles, a place where
a motorist could buy groceries, meats,
vegetables, drugs and get his car serv-
iced. In eight months that merchant
took his family on a summer vacation
to Europe leaving his store In able 1
hands to compete with the scores of
other drlve-ln markets that had been
established on all the main highways
of the city.
Other towns, watching the success
of these markets, took up the Idea.
Now similar establishment! are being <
built In n number of southern and
eastern states. They may alter the
buying habit of a nation. In them
the motorist finds a complete mer-
chandising unit. He may buy food,
drags, meat, bakery goods, get a hair-
cut or leave a suit to be cleaned and
pressed while he is getting bis car
greased or a tire changed. If he does
not with to leave bis machine, be may
get service while still at the wheel.
The Indians of British Gulna show
ex raordlnary skill In many of the
things they manufacture but they
never Improve upon them. They make
them exactly as their fathers did be-
fore them.

Ancknt Profession !
Is Now Modernized
CONSTANTINOPLE—<IP>—One of
the oldest p*ofeselons known to men
has at last become modernized
Public letter writers In Stamboul
have now Installed typewriters at
the r street-corner pitches.
All day long the staccato tap-tap of
the machines can be heard as thej
letter writers pick out with one finger
love letters, threatening letters; let-!
ters to home, any sort of letter, to the
dlctalon of he Illiterate Turk, who is
only too pleased to pay the equiv-
alent of a few cents for It
As a side-line these letter writers
fill up legal forms for litigants, tax-
payers and such like, and consequent-
ly they foregather mostly around the
mosque courtyards and the courts of >
Justice.
It was thought that the lntroduc-'
tlon of the new alphabet would sound
the death-knell of the letter writers,
but with the installation of typewriters
they are flourishing more than ever.

SEEKING HEALTH
“I spent 11,000 in five years trying
to get back my health, but three bot-
tles of Sargon and one of Sargon Soft
Mass Pills did me more good than
everything else
put together.
“I Just felt
miserable every
morning. I did
not get half the
sleep I needed
and every bone
In my body
seemed to ache.
My tongue was
coated and m y
skin was yellow.
My nerves Just
went all to pieces
and I felt tired
... and worn out all
the time.
“Sargon has given me s big appe-
tite and I eat a lot and dlgeat It easily.
I ve gained ten pounds and haven't
felt as good as I do now In twenty
years. The pills completely relieved
my constipation and I haven't had to
take anything now In three weeks

FT1HE consolidation of tbc resources xnd facilities of the
I Marlzod Companies and the Continental Oil Company,
under the Utter's name, b more than t corporate merger.
It b a hippy union of well balanced production, manufac-
turing and marketing operations from which will come a
boat of unusual advantages to the milbetu of customers tad
Isousandx of distributors.
Wide Field for Crude SeleBum
Out of a total area of more than two and ooc quarter millioa
acres in eight state:, Continental selects the crudes best
suited for its manufactured products. Raw materials for oils,
greases and gasolines may often come from widely sepa-
rated regions. Continental controls its own crude supply sad
chooses tbc best for each refining operation sod thus assures
s standard uniform output from year to year.
Strategic Location of Eight Refineries
Economical and efficient operation of petroleum manufac-
ture frequently depend; upon the relative locations of the tew
product, tbe refinery and tbc market. Continental is forni-
cate in that its eight modern manufacturing plants arc well
placed to afford prompt and economics! delivery both before
tad after refinement. These properties are located at Balti-
more, Maryland; Ponca City and Sapulpa, Oklahoma; Artesia
and Farmington, New Mexico; Wichita rails, Texas;
Florence, Colorado; and Glenrcdc, Wyoming.
Exclusive Processes Insure High Quality
Continental refinery engineers enjoy a national reputation
in the ofl business. Not only have they adopted the newest
tad most efficient mechanical equipment for these big refin-
eries but they have designed machinery acd developed pro-
cesses which are exclusive to this company. Under ccmraiired
control, these facilities now arc made available in the manu-
facture of petroleum products of exceptional quality
Conocoland Covers Tremendous Area
Mote than forty years marketing experience has spread
tbe distribution of Conoco products over an area which
reaches from the western slope of the Rockies, far cast to the
Mississippi River. Practically half of the United States is
dotted to closely with Conoco Stations that a motorist may
drive anywhere in that tremendous area without introducing
other than Conoco products to his car. The outposts of
Cooocoland range from the Pacific Northwest to the shores
of the Great Lakes and from the Atiaotic Seaboard to the
California boundary.
Prestige Established in Foreign Lands
The Continental coastwise and export fleet operate from
terminals st Texas City, Texas; Newark, New Jersey, Bald-
mote, Maryland; and Norfolk, Virginia; to a dozen foreign
countries. Petrol pumps deliver Conoco gasoline to auto-
mobilistt in tbe shires of England and Conoco motor oils
lubricate industrial plants in north Europe, South America
and the Orient.
In btkfi the joined forces of these two great companies
afford greater, better service to the users of motor fuels and
lobrkams whoever tbc sign of the Red Triangle is displayed.
