Large Gains in
Recent Months
International Organization Reports a
Gain of 10,000 Members in
Past Twelve Months.
Chicago, 111., Sept. 30. Rotary In
tel national has shown a phenomenal
increase In membership throughout
the world in recent months. While
this may be taken as indicative of
the general upturn in business, it is
still nore suggestive of th growing
consciousness among business and
professional men of the need of un
derstanding among private citizens
of the various countries.
During the last year there has been
a net gain of 10,000 members and
158 clubs. For the past twenty-five
yerrs new Rotary clubs have been
chartered on the average of three
every week. In three decades the pio
neer service club organization has
grown from one club starting with
f.ve members to 3,859 clubs in more
than seventy countries with 162,000
members. The following figures from
the current Rotarian Magazine indi

first club was founded in Chicago in

A recent example of bringing men
of many nations together was the
annual regional conference of Rotar
lans of Europe, Northern Africa and
Asia Minor, in Venice, Italy, Septem
ber 16 to 18. More than 1,500 men
from this region met to discuss Ro
tary matters and to mold friendships.
Such gatherings serve to increase un
derstanding and promote good will
among the prominent business and
professional men participating.

One of the objectives of Rotary is
the advancement of international
good will. While Rotary has been
unable to stop war, yet through fos
tering fellowship among men of many
nations, centuries oid barriers are
beiug broken down. Walter D. Head,
past vice-president of Rotary Inter
national, cites a few ei .mples in The
Ik' tarian Magazine.
"Rotary is no miracle-working of
ganization," says Mr. Head, "but
there is drama in the fact that when
R. L. Hill, immediate past president
cf Rotary International, visited the
Rotary Club of Jerusalem last year,
ho found Arab, Jew and Christian
sitting sid3 by side, and listened to
speeches of Rotary welcome in Arabic,
Hebrew and English.
"In Singapore, Straits Settlements,
29 nationalities are represented
around the Rotary luncheon table.
Here meet Europeans, - Parsees, the
Hinus, Chineses, the Japanese, Amer
icans and many more. For those
whose religion prevents eating cer
tain foods on the day's menu, special
orders are filled. Others because of
religious prohibitions will eat noth
ing. But there they are associating
in fellowship at the only place they
can in the city.
"These instances," he continues,
"may be unusual, but in scores of in
land North American towns precise
ly the same personal Rotary tech
nique is being applied to bring men
of foreign birth into understanding
HAND EN" HAND WITH BRITAIN
Cairo, Egypt, Sept. 29. Egypt's
"real anxiety" in the Italo-Ethiopian
crisis, a high official said, "is to con
clude a projected treaty with Great
Britain enabling us to assume our
own responsibilities in case of nation
al emergency."
"It is most definitely of our in
terest to go hand in hand with Bria
ain in fact, we have no choice in
the matter," an official said. Egypt
ians have been so worried safeguard
ing their own interests in the event
cf an Italo-Ethiopian war, they have
evidenced no marked partiality for
either the Italian or Ethiopian causes.
While Egypt's million Coptics keenly
sympathize with their Ethiopian
brothers of the same church, the
great mass of Egyptians are more
concerned with their own security
and Britain's ability to assure it.
With the Italian colony of Libya,
on Egypt'3 western frontier, afford
ing a convenient hopping off ground
for Italian planes to Alexandria,
Cairo and the Suez canal eastward, j
natives of Egypt make no conceal
ment of anxiety for even closer ties
with Britain, despite the fact Arabic
newspapers continue agitation again

Hunting wolves by airplane is a new sport, or rather, work," of mid-'
west farmers. Constantly annoyed by raids of the "killer", and'
failing to kill the animals on the ground, farmers in the vicinity of
Macomb, III., are shooting them down from an airplane. Although
wolves are not particularly numerous in the prairie states, they
have been seen recently and have destroyed cattle and chickens.
Several airplane hunts have been staged this summer and numerous
wolves killed. There are two species of American wolf, one is the
large gray, timber or Canadian wolf; the other, is the prairie wolf.

has rendered the company in the past
17 years, according to a statement
issued by Mr. McCulla.
Mr. ott is a former newspaper
man, having established in 1914 the
Surprise Enterprise, which he edited
for several years. He later came to
Lincoln where he purchased the Col
lege View Gazette and the College
View Advocate, consolidating the two
newspapers into one, known as the
Gazette-Advocate. He remained edi
tor of this paper until he entered the
services of the telephone company in
1918.
The enthusiasm for printer's Ink
was developed in Mr. Ott at an early
age when as a boy he acted as "print
er's devil" and assisted in the prepar
ation of news and advertising copy
for the various newspapers owned
and published throughout Burt coun
ty, Nebraska, by his father, Charles
K. Ott, pioneer Nebraska newspaper
man.
C. W. Motter, the present publicity
director of the telephone company,
who is succeeded- by Mr. Ott as ad
vertising manager, will assume duties
in connection with special assign
ments, according to the statement
made by Mr. McCulla.
TO BATTLE COMMUNISM
Cleveland. Rev. Charles E.
Coughlin of Detroit, departing from
the eucharistic congress, asserted
Catholicism will carry its battle
against communism to the American
people. "In logic not bullets, will be
the church's choice of weapons," he
said.
"The eucharistic congress, which
closed here Thursday, and its demon
strations was the best possible answer
to communism," the priest asserted.
"It took the form of faith and of
logic two arguments the Soviets
have difficulty facing.
"Communism would prefer to fight
it out with bullets. The church
chooses logic, and will carry its fight
to the American people with confi
dence that it will understand that
logic." Communism, he said, "is a
disease that cannot be tolerated. Cap
italism, too, cannot continue to exist
in its present form. Even the new
deal recognizes that the old social
order must go."
HENRY BARTLING IS HURT
Nebraska City. Henry Bartling,
60, former state senator from Ne
braska City and insurance man here,
is recovering from back and head in
juries suffered in an automobile crash
at a downtown intersection. Bart
ling, long prominent in republican
political circles in the state, fell into
the street from his car when one
driven by Leonard Hanks, farmer,
hit the hind wheel of Bartling's ma
chine, upsetting it. Bartling's in
juries were said to be not serious and
Hanks was not hurt.

Nothing vague about this process
It tops off everything else known to Refinery
Science, by putting in the Hidden Quart which
makes your engine stay oiled.
You can park your car for hours in blizzards;
stand for days in a cold garage. But you cannot
make a dragging, expensive, engine-eating start.
Unlike other oiL no matter how free-flowing,
Conoco Germ Processed Oil needn't wait for
your starter or oil pump. The Hidden Quart is
up on guard in advance. It hasn't drained down
because it can't. The Germ Process has let it
"marry" into the inner surfaces of your engine

well known to scientists;
Even the new copper-lead, high-lead and
cadmium-alloy bearings, as well as conventional
babbitt bearings, are far better protected by
Conoco Germ Processed Oil than by plain
mineral oils. Scientific tests have proved this.
But millions whose
