Dedicate Fine
Memorial to the
Pioneer Mother
Hurley Addresses Ponca City, Okla.,
Ceremony Over Badio; Gift
ot Marland.
Ponca City, Okla., April 22. Typi
fying the pioneer woman who bore
the cross of hardship and sacrifice
to help claim America's frontiers for
civilization, a monument was dedi
cated here today that this and future
generations might not lose sight of
the heroic, though unsung, part play
ed by woman in the building of an
empire.
In a setting in which the old west
was mingled with the new era, the
"Pioneer Woman," as done in bronze
by Bryant Baker, noted sculptor, was
presented to the state of Oklahoma
by E. W. Marland, wealthy Ponca
City oil man, himself a pioneer of
this commonwealth.
Introduced by Hoover.
Radio made the dedicatory cere
monies nationwide in scope, Secre
tary of War Patrick J. Hurley, son of
a pioneer of Oklahoma, delivering
the principal address from Washing
ton, after being introduced by Pres
ident Hoover.
"Woman has never been given her
just place in history as a pioneer, an
educator, a builder or as a leader,
said Secretary Hurley.
"Historians have been so busy with
the lives of great sons that they have
not stopped to immortalize the moth
ers who produced them. The char
acters of men are molded by women.
Tribute to Woman.
When we speak of the pioneer
woman, we are very naturally inclin
ed to limit her sphere to the last
frontier in the United States the
place we know and love so well our
southwest. But the pioneer woman
has played her part in the conquest
of nature through all the ages. She
has been with her man and her
family in their struggles with the
wilderness and the desert places of
the world. The pioneer woman gave
to America its character and soul."
The "Pioneer Woman," her coun
tenance betokening hope and the de
termination to hold true unto her
course as she sets forth into a new
land, rises majestically from a plot
of ground just off United States high
way No. 77, and in the foreground
of the two million dollar Marland
estate. At her side, as she strides
forward, sure of step, is her eager
son, and clasped in her hand is a
Bible.
The unveiling ceremonies were
brought to a close with a humorous
address by Oklahoma's cowboy com
edian, Will Rogers, formerly of Clare-
more.
Rogers recounted episodes of early
life in Oklahoma and the crowd roar
ed with laughter at his sallies.
"The real reason I came to this
celebration," Rogers said, "was to
pinch hit for Governor Holloway in
case you impeached him before he
got through with his speech."

NEW GAS INNOVATION
One of the most interesting recent
developments in house heating and
cooling is the innovation, on a com
mercial basis, of an automatic gas
heated air furnace which can be
used for maintaining tembperature
and humidity in winter and also for
circulating water-washed air to re
duce summer heat.
The operation of the entire appara
tus is completely automatic, being
controlled by a conveniently located
thermostat. It occupies but three
square meet of space, and can be
placed anywhere in the house, due to
its positive circulation.
For a number of years gas fur
naces have been rpelacing old- fash
ioned heating units. As a fuel, gas
is clean, efficient, practically fool
proof." and economical. Now that
the same furnace will cool as well
as heat, the field for use of gas has
TELEPHONE PROGRESS
PreRent-dav life in America is ob-
solutely dependent upon the tele
phone. In 1929. telephone conversa
tions numbered 64.173.144, or an
average of one call for every two
persons, according to Department of
Commerce figures.
During the years, approximately
900,000 new telephones were install
ed in homes, offices and other build
ings, a new high record for any one
year.
Extension of international com
munication was also an important
feature of telephone progress in
1929, and a new service oi teiepnone
communication between shore and
ships at sea was inaugurated.
During 1930, approximately $uu,
000,000, or nearly $2,000,000 a day,
is being spent for new telephone con
struction.

NEW D-L-D DIFFICULTIES
New difficulties in connection with
routing the highway at Gretna may
so hamper the work of paving the
D-L-D from Waverly to Ashland that
the state highway department may
be unable to complete the strip be
tween Lincoln and Omaha this sum
mer. The department expects to let
the contract for paving and it was
hoped that all but five miles would
be hard surfaced by fall.
Citizens of Ashland protested
changing the highway so that it
would pass their town and hindered
construction last fall. Decision was
made to follow the Burlington tracks
south of the city to the Platte where
a new bridge is to be built.
Along the south side of the tracks,
the highway was to continue to a
point to an underground crossing to
be constructed near Gretna, accord
ing to plans. Angling northeast, the
road was to form a junction with the
present paving at the Douglas coun
ty line, thus doing away with the
present crossing at Gretna.
A hearing is to be held before Gov
ernor Weaver Wednesday to discuss
the proposal by certain Gretna citi
zens to continue the highway on the
south side of the tracks to the pres
ent turn east of Gretna. Whether
satisfactory adjustments will permit
work to proceed this summer will
THE MODERN MOTOR OIL
SAFEGUARDS HOT MOTORS
Complete removal of wax and tar from the
new Polarine prevents this modern motor
oil from running dangerously thin when
heavy load and high speed cause the
motor to heat.
Mud, sand and hard hills plowing, disk
ing, harrowing low speeds in low gear
for miles, heat any type of motor. That's
when bearings burn out and wear is most
severe unlessyour motoroil holds its body.
The new Polarine is not surpassed by any
oil, at any price, from any kind of crude in
resistance to thinning byheat. Italso deposits
less than half as much carbon in the motor
as any old process oil.
A premium quality oil by every test and
specification, the new Polarine sets new
lubrication standards. Sold at no advance

FINLAND TOWN DANS HONKING
Oslo, April 20. Finland has mad
a start toward the suppression of city
noises by forbidding the use of motor
horns in the town of Aabo. Aabo has
demonstrated that the horn is no
more necessary on the automobile
than it was on a fiacre, a one-horse
bus or a hay wagon.
News of the demonstration reach
ed Norway, and in consequence the
Royal Automobile association of O.-lo
has proposed that in every city of
that kingdom the use of the horn
Bhall be done away with and the at
tention it involved redirected to skill
ful driving.
