Industrially, the business situation is irregular, even though statistical curves in the main keep on an upward trend.

Gasoline and crude oil have mounted with the opening of the season...

...which Mr. Rockefeller graduated in 1897. Mr. Rockefeller became interested in the Bible class, became its leader, instructed it for seven years. Now he is its Honorary President. Several times a year he attends its meetings, reads to the members out of Holy Scripture. Pithy platitudes, adopted from Scripture, lard all his public speeches. "The big thing in life is work. . . .

...today of dispensing with all but the bare outlines of a plot--a beautiful daughter, lost in Egypt when a child, is sought by her parents. She is found by her brother, who recognizes her song at a cabaret--and that's all there is to it. Mrs. Nevil lard has an opportunity in the part of Helea, the daughter, to do some excellent singing, and her voice is well above the standard of musical comedy heroines. Probably the best acting is done by Miss Helen Bennett, who plays the role of the brother...
