Through the wide relief operations thus made possible It is estimated that more than 600,000 famine sufferers were saved from starvation. To the ent) that similar prompt re lief meusures by the organization may always be possible the Bed Cross is asking continued support by the Amer ican people by universal renewal of membership at the Annual Red Cross Roll Call, November 11 to 24. The method of relief employed by the American Red Cross in its opera tions In China was particularly effec tive, for in addition to saving hundreds ofjthousands of lives it provided China with more than 900 miles of permanent roads that are sorely needed to pre sent a ^recurrence of famine. At one time the Jted (Trows employed 74,000 Chinese workmen, paying them in food for themselves and dependents, this food being brought In from Manchuria, and elsewhere. t the agency to Flenniken, Miles will continue as assistant agent j ONE DOLLAR ANNUAL DUES IN THE AMERICAN RED CROSS MAKES YOU A PARTICIPANT IN RELIEF WORK FOR THE HELPLESS THAT GIRDLES THE GLOBE.

Experienced drivers who have tried a filling of the improved “Standard” Motor Gasoline'would cheerfully go far out of their way to place repeat orders. . But that is not necessary. * Reliable, dealers handling this ideally balanced motor fuel are to be found on both sides * of the highway wherever you travel. They charge no more for “Standard” Motor Gasoline than others ask for inferior grades masquerading under fanciful naines. If your motoivds sluggish have the carbon cleaned from cylinders and spark plugs, empty the old diluted oil from your crank case, and after washing wi;th a pint or so of kero sene, fill with POLARINE of the grade specified for your car. Then put “Standard” Motor Gasoline into your Tuel \|ank and see what a good car can do. ? ;x’«X STANDARD OIL COMPANY ''(NEW JERSEY) - - 1.1 ssawm rr .. ■■■1 j##r v jp %■ « rX - - .
