A Plea For Courtesy
The approach of warm weather
hrin^.s us to the verge of a new mo
tor touring season. In a short time
the highways will be tilled with autos
from every town in the Union, each
loaded with a happy family and a
more or less complete camping outfit,
and each, beginning the kind of vacation
that can only be had in the
United States and Canada.
In this connection the American
.Nature association issues a timely
plea ?a plea for courtesy and consideration.
It urges all motor tourists
and campers to give thought to their
neighbors; to put out campfires they
build, to clean up their rubbish, to
leave forests and fields undefaced and
to respect the rights of others wherever
-they go.
Most motorists, we feel sure, will
heed the warning. The democracy of
the open road calls for thoughtfulness
on the part of each driver.
Most tourists are intelligent enough
to realize it.

SALMON?MYSTERY FISH
Science Vainly Seeks Explanation of
Long Migration
New York, May 28.?Piled in one
heap, the salmon taken from Alaskan
waters each year would form a mountain
of approximately 4,000,000 cubic
feet of fish, weighing as much as 72,000
automobiles 1
During the midsummer spawning
season the salmon come in schools
land shoals from the vast reaches of
the Bering Sev.or the Pacific, or Ifce
Arctic. They throng the inland
waters in their mad rush to get upstream,
almost side by side with
barely flnroom between. Swimming
tirelessly against the current of their
native riVers, leaping up waterfalls
and threading rock-strefwn rapids,
they reach the shallows After what
frequently amounts to a thousandmile
journey. In the cases of the Columbia
river in the United States and
jthe Fraser river, in British Columbia
1 it is a 3.UU0-mile swim!
j During the whole weary I ok,
i sometimes lasting from May to
: October, writes Tom White, in .he
July Popular Science Monthly, the
salmon do not take a particle of
'nourishment! As a result of this
i long fast, their digestive tracts shrink
| and cease to function. The young
' fish are hat-ched out about two months
1 after the adults have spawned and
'died. They swim and feed together
until they are two or three inches
long. Then they begin to work their
way downstream and out to sea.
Where ?
The reasons for the salmon's odd
habits are unknown to science, although
an investigation has been undertaken
by the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries.
Workers trapped salmon in
the open sea, tagged them with
aluminum tags bearing serial numbers,
and at the same time took
| samples of their scales. Microscopic
, examination of the scale samples re1
i vealed that certain scale develop;
ments are peculiar to definite local.
ities. When the fish were late:

sent back to the investigators, to!

they .vi re able to show that salmon
actually live ::i spawning colonies and
return to the stream of their origin.

... conquer traffic -1
with that quality in improved "Standard" Gasoline that sweeps m
you to the forefront when the traffic light says "Go" . . !, carries M
you on and cuts you in ahead of "lazy-motored" cars ... reduces
the necessity of shifting gears?-and makes you proud of your
mightier car.
NO matter whether your car
be a saucy, speedy roadster
or a stately, powerful sedan?this
improved "Standard" Gasoline
helps it conquer traffic. It's a
richer gas, a more volatile gas.
Limbers up like a sprinter and
beats other cars to the "crossings."
It's an all 'round flexible gas, too.
Puts its back behind a ten-ton
truck as easily as it skims the hills
with a touring car. That's because
its range of boiling points is
carefully attuned. Improved
"Standard" Gasoline is gassier. And
yet it doesn't waste itself in flashy
acceleration alone. In any situation
it's dependable "... it's the
champion." * *
" OTANDARD" dealers and attendants
^ at "Standard" Service Stations practice
daity those little courtesies which have
earned them the reputation of giving
"service with a smile " But the free water
for the radiator, free air for the tires, free
road maps to. show you the way, are all
incidentals to that bigger service?the
dispensing of clean, rich improved "Standard"
Gasoline. It's clear at crystal. Sold
everywhere at red "Standard" pumps with
the familiar "Standard" globes.
<? , ^Technically speaking, "the rapid j
advance of high-speed and multiple cylinder motorS
to meet changed traffic conditions demands 'f uicker i
acceleration' or 'flexibility of control.' To secure \
rapid acceleration in traffic you need a richer j
mixture, a greater force instantly?to push the
pistons." i its in these brief instanU thai the Ira- 1
proved "Standard" proves itself a richer and ;
more volatile gasoline?"It'l th? champion."
