"I DON’T SUPPOSE," said Editor
Keating, "that the French revolution-
ists themselves realized that it was
a revolution they were engaged in
until it practically was accomplished.
“They appear to have lacked leader-
ship, too. while the change they were
experiencing literally was in process
of being effected.
“And In this country? Leadership?
—how the people want it!
"Look how the public acclaims the
measure of it that Is offered to them
by the couple of Individuals who
really do offer it to them!—whatever
it may be worth, as to quality.’’

If I were a boy In college, or even
if I were a girl In college, and so
far as that goes If I were just any-
body going somewhere reasonably
often, I'd see to it that I owned a
theatrical wardrobe trunk.
These are not outstandingly
smart looking trunks, but they a e
marvelously constructed for dura-
bility which is what show people
demand of their luggage. With a
theatrical trunk you can be reas-
onably sure that It will not only
take your clothes to wherever they
are going, but bring them home as
well, an obligation which no small
number of brands won't undertake
after about three trips. I used to
think some one might believe me
sill for owning a theatrical ple^>
of luggage when I didn’t need cuts
in my vocation, but I changed my
mind after my ordinary trunk fell
apart once on a station platform,
distributed far and near my most
personal baby ribbons and what
not.

ROME, ( UP)—This year has set tne sei
of full success on Ostia, the Lido of Rom
the beach resort planned by Mussolini fi
the Romans. The place has grown from
collection of fishermen’s cottages and a coi
pie of country inns to a prosperous mode)
seaside resort with a permanent populatic
of between 25,000 and 30,000 and a (lay po;
illation of between 50,000 and 100,000.
Ostia is one of the outstanding cases oi
rapid real estate development. Land that
was worth about five ^irejft square meter sev-1
en years ago is worth 200 or even 300 lire al
square meter today.
It has been developed, as usual, by com-
l munications. A quick electric railroad
placed Ostia within less than half an hour of
Rome. There also is a fine motor road—
another of Mussolini’s ideas, which is reserv-
ed exclusively for fast automobile traffic.
This road is as brilliantly illuminated at
night for its stretch of 14 miles as the streets
of a city.
Ostia made rapid progress this year for
two reasons, one of which is the sea-bathing
mania which hit Rome; the other being the
exceptionally hot summer. A high percent-
age of the Rome population goes about with
a perpetual sunburn. The arms and necks
of practically all the young women are brown
with sun and sea bathing. The thing has be-
come more than a fashion and habit, practi-
cally a craze. Some part of the population
of Rome is going down to the sea at Ostia
nearly every hour in the 24. The trains begin
at 6 a. m. and the last train back is at 1:30
a. m.
Now that the management of the elec-
tric railroad has introduced the cheap Sun-
day tickets it is possible to travel to Ostia
and back for 15 cents.

Two backswoodsmen in Maine knocked
at the door of a house at the edge of the for-

farmer who came to the door. “Say, we came
across the dead body of a man over there in
the hollow, an’ klnda thought ’twas you.”
“That so? What’d he look like?” asked
the farmer.
“Well, he was abotft your build—”
“Have on a gray flannel shirt?”
“Yep.”
“Was they knee boots or hip boots?”
“Let's see. Which was they Charley,

Feet Ne. 1 — Thousandi of motoriiti and service
station men have observed that after a car has been
given its first fill of Conoco Germ Processed Motor OU >■
and is driven 200 to 5 50 miles, a look at the crankcase
gauge shows that about one quart of oil is apparently
missing . . . but
Fact No. t—These same people have noticed that on
the second and later fillings with
Conoco Germ Processed Motor Oil,
scarcely a drop of oil will disappear
during the first 550 miles, and
* practically none at 500 and up to
’ 1,000 miles! -
The above (acts have been checked by
actual tests with cars that use six quarts of
oil for the crankcase, cars in good mechan-
ical condition and driven at ordinary rates
of speed. These facts will also prove true
for your car, in proportion to the amount
of oil your crankcase usually holds, your
car's mechanical condition and the speeds
at which you drive
What becomes of the "hidden quart”?
The answer is easy if you study the Facts
given above and keep in mind the things
that only Conoco Germ Processed Motor
Oil can do. The explanation of the where-
abouts of the “hidden quart” is simple—no
technical knowledge of motors or oil is
necessary.
Remember—The “hidden quart” of
Germ Processed Oil does not escape
through leakage ... dots not bum up. wear
out nor evaporate. It is “present but unac-
counted for.” Fact No. 2, given above,
provee all this.
