Thyatira Wag a Macedonian colony;
and its chief trade was the dyeing
of purple. It is a remarkable confir
mation of the sacred history that we
find Lydia of Thyatira. a seller of
purple in the Macedonian city of
I'hiMppi (Arts 1, 14) Tnere are in

guild of dyers at Thyatira. it is still
a considerable town, w'.ln many

Christ's letter to this church, calls
our attention to: (1) the commend
ed charity, service, faith, patience,
works, vers. 1!'. These things se
the one who has "eyes like a flame
of fire." He sees not only the good
in the church, but also the bad;
nothing is hid before him. 2) The
represensible in dictrttte, which she
tolerated. Here is reference made to
Jazebel. the wife of King Ahab. 2
King. 9:22. She introduced idol wor
ship into the Kingdom of Israel, be
ing a heathen. The church of Jesus
Christ has to watch against her in
ner foes. vers. 20. This led to licen
tiousness and idolotry; it incurred
the displeasure of Christ vers. 22
29. The church must assume the
j.same tolerant attitude that Ahab
showed toward Jezebel, a weakling.

tira may have been only a woman
member, who claimed to he inspired
of God. as a prophetess, taught some
new do' trine, which even the Bishop
of the church allowed to pass. A par

Standard Oil
Increases Its
Kansas Buyings
Governor Reed Told Indiana Com
pany Will Take 3000 More
Barrels Daily.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 10. Gov.
i Clyde M. Reed was notified yestei
; day of an offer of purchase by the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana of
j 3000 barrels of crude oil daily from
jthe stripper wells in Kansas and
Oklahoma. This was in addition to
j more than 12,000 barrels which it
has previously arranged to care for.
The announcement was made by
E. G. Seubert, president of the Stand
jard Oil Company of Indiana, at the
I conclusion of a meeting of directors
! of the American Petroleum Institute
t in New York, Jan. 8.
The oil is to be purchased for the
i Standard Oil Company at the wells

'and gathered and transported by the
j Prairie Pipe Line Company through
their lines to the Standard Oil Com
pany's Wood River (111. reffnery at

panies. The Prairie Oil & Gas com
pany declined to do this unless other
j companies arranged to take the bal
ance of the distress oil. The Standard
Oil Company of Ind:ana is extending
'its lines to all additional production
which it can reasonably reach and
'promises to continue to work for the
successful solution of the problem.

an outlet for 4000 oil wells in the
Chanute (Kan.) area by obtaining
from the Prairie companies an agree

In the meantime Governor Reed
is considering the possibility of bring

Victors in 'Gag
Rule Fight
Succeed in Lifting Limit on Debate
on Reviving of Killed Bills;
Lose Rules Change.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 15. Demo
cratic minority forces in the Nebras
ka house of representatives won a
victory today, but lost another de
cision by a bare margin of six votes.
By a vote of 68 to 29, the demo
crats, aided by a number of republi
cans, succeeded in upsetting the
j "gag" rule, which limited debate on
reviving smotnereu measures. They
lost their contest to reverse the rule
which makes a three-fifths vote nec-
i essai y to change house procedure.
The vote was 54 to 44 against the
proposal to change.
A torrid session preceded the roll
call to change the three-fifths rule to
a majority only.
Seek Majority Rule.
George O'Malley, Greeley, demo
cratic floor leader, challenged the
republican house forces to permit the
majority rule to stand in their de
liberations as it had in their respec
tive elections to office.
Halted abruptly in debate, the
democratic leader assailed the "gag"
I rule in limiting discussions, and di
rected a verbal volley at house mem
bers who interrupted his remarks.
Speaker Max Kier promptly accorded
the speaker the courtesy of the floor.
A score or more entered the de
bate, led by Charles L. Jones dep.)
of Schuyler, and Allen G. Burke of
Bancroft, republican floor leader.
Replying to O'Malhy's charges of
partisanship in opposing the rules

to "avoid the injection of politics
throughout the session."
"I 11 consent to a change in the
rules," Burke shouted, "if you'll as- j
sure jnc they won't be again reversed
before 3 0 days expire."
Ten Republicans Shift.
On the roll call 10 republicans
flocked to the cause of the democrats,
but the total was six short of the
three-fifths necessary to revise the
rule.

bate on reviving bills killed in com
mittee. Under the old rule only two
i i epi esentatives could debate, one fa
voring the proposal to revive a dead
bill and the other in opposition.
"That rule," O'Gara declared,
"dees not shorten the session. It is
the most drastic type of gag rule and
lit stands in the way of progress."
Several republicans countered with
charges of contemplated .libustering,
wasted time and a prolonged session,
but a number of the republicans fol
lowed the minority group in the bal
loting that followed.
roaster nou uan jjemanu.
Without discussion or dissent, the
house voted 93 to nothing to accept
the rules committee report
whereby
, two members instead of five may de
mand a roll call vote when the house
1 is in regular session.
Another maneuver to upset the
prevailing rules was started by
Charles S. Reece (rep.) of Simeon,
who moved that the house permit
each standing committee to select its
town chairman instead of vesting this
right in the committee on commit-
: tees.
Rcece, however, withdrew his mo
tion to avoid a complete reshifting
jof the standing committees which
now have a number of measures as
signed to them for deliberation. The
house adjourned in mid-afternoon un

SAYS ARMY BAN ON 0LE0
HELP TO FAIRY FARMER
Abandonment of the table use of
butter substitutes in the army will
considerably benefit the dairy farmer
during the coming year as well as
improve general food conditions in
the army. Representative Merlin
I Wis. i predicted here today after
his amendment to the war depart
ment appropriation bill prohibiting
use of such substitutes had been
adopted by the house.
In pointing out that the various
government departments are using
millions of pounds of oleomargarine

Lucas Will
Apologize With
Reservation
Stipulates Smith Must State He
Now fcr Prohibition For
mal Statement.
Is
Washington, Jan. 14. Robert H.
Lucas, executive director of the re
publican national committee, said to
day he will apologize to Alfred E.
Smith for sending out a cartoon in
the last election depicting him and
Chaiiman John J. Raskob as "wet" if
Smith will state he is now for pro
hibition. The former New York governor,
in a letter to Senator Wagner (dent.,
N. Y.), demanded an apology from
the republican national organization
for "permitting" Lucas to distribute
a barroom cartoon entitled, "Al
Smith-Raskob idea of happiness."
Smith said the cartoon contained
a statement quoting him as saying
the democratic party would soon be
in control and would "make this a
happy as well as a prosperous na
tion." Smith asserted this purport
ed statement was false.
"Governor Smith arks me to apol
ogize," said Lucas in a formal state-
tnent from republican headquarters.
"He says a cartoon was distributed
which conveyed the information that
he was "wet." He says the impres
sion made there v as based on in
correct information. If the governor
will state he had done a complete
about-face since 192S and is now for
prohibition, than I owe him an apol
ogy." World-Herald.
STRONGER. FASTER AUTOS
REQUIRE BETTER TIRES
"We all rejoice as a child grows
up into a sturdy, active boy. but WO
also know that as the boy grows in
strength and activity, he becomes
very hard on shoes of poor quality
and that only the best of shoes will
enduie," says George K. Petring, lo
cal Ford dealer.
"We all enjoy the manner in
which automobiles have been much
pepped tip in performance, in com
parison with cars built in 1927 prior
to the advent of the Model A Ford.
But with quicker acceleration, much
higher average road speeds, and, nec
essarily, quicker stopping, the strains
on tires have been greatly increased.
Only the best tires will endure.
"It is obvious that when an auto
mobile is started quickly, stopped
suddenly, or speeded over rough roadfl
all the work is delivered through
the tires. For which reason, car per
formance is a factor in tire wear, as
well as car weight.
"Naturally, most car owners con
sider only their own comfort when
Ithey drive. However, in the days
gone by, with cars mounted on stiff
springs and without shock ahsorb
I ers, the roushness of the ride com
pelled the driver to be reasonable.
But on modern cars, such as the
I Model A Ford, the passengers are M
I well insulated from road shocks by
J double acting, hydraulic shock ab
I sorbets, springs of scientific design
land large tires that the driver is apt
to show little consideration tor tne
tires.
"When the Model A. Ford was bc
inc: develoned. ordinary tires failed
1 repeatedly, due to the improved per
i formance of the car. So the Ford
I Motor Company conducted research
work which resulted in drawing up
specifications insuring Ford car own
ers of more tire value than ever be
fore given. That Ford's efforts in de
signing exceptionally good tires w-re
successful has been proved by the ex
cellent performance of these tires -n
more than 4.000.000 Model A and
Model AA Fords now in use.
Each Ford tire is balanced and the
tire is marked with a red dot on the
side wall, which should be placed ad
jacent to the valve stem. This is one
of the details which insures absence
of front wheel wabble or shimmy.
"Ford tires should be kept inflat
ed to a minimum of 3 5 pounds. If
one is in the habit of driving fast,
the tires should be kept at 40 pounds.
Too many people think a balloon tire
will fail if inflated above the ecom
mended pressures. This is not tiue.
Pressures given are for average, and
too high is preferable to too low at
any time.
"In tests made ou balloon tires.
it was found that the total mileage
of tires was reduced 700 miles
each pound tires were run under
the
recommended pressure. In other
words, 4 pounds low means 2,800
miles off the total tire miileage. Al
most across the continent!"

Charge Lucas
Misuse of the
Tax Roll
Cutting Says Name Fsked in Send
ing Barroom Cartoon Into
Nebraska
Washington, Jan. 16. Robert H.
Lucas, executive director of the Re
publican national committee, was ac
cused by Senator Cutting in the sen
ate Friday of using the internal rev
entta bureau to control the nation's
politics through income tax returns.
Sena.or Cutting R., New Mexi
co, read a letter written by Lucas
Oct. 6 just prior to his resignation
as commissioner of internal' revenue,
-eeking the aid of Inttrn.ii revenue
(mployes in political activities.
"Is not that the same letter
that went to employes of the
internal revenue bureau?" ask
ed Sen-.tor Couzens ( R. ) . Michi
gan. "And did it not go to the
men who check the income tax
returns?" "Yes." Cutting replied.
"Isn't there an inference that
the internal revenue collector,
, in connection with his duties in
collecting income and other
taxes, is actually in control of
the politics of the nation?"
ked Senator Johnson R.,
California.
Couzens suggested that the let
ter waa confirmation of charges he
had previously made o? such activ
ity on the part of the Treasury in
building' up a political machine
through the income tax bureau of
ithe department.
'utting in a general attack on
Lucas called attention to a jam Mid
made by Alfred EE. Smith, former
governor of New York, for an apol
t . from the Republican national
committee for Lucas' activities in cir
culating the obnoxious barrom tar
. toon, containing a quotation that
Smith later denied he had made. The
; cartoon was used in Nebraska and
iothtr states in Lucas' secret but un
, succesesful '-ampaign against Sena
tor W. Norris. Republican insurgent.
"I have no brief for the late
Democratic candidate for the
presidency. Cutting said, "and
I did my humble best to defeat
him. Governor Smith, how
ever, is entitled not to be
lied about. Here are some of
the thinjr3 that Lucas said:
"He. used a fake name
John M. Fetter, when he sent
the literature into Nebraska.
He cannot identify Fetter, nor
can anyone else. He sent out
a false statement by Smith,
accompanying which was a c ar
toon depiciting a barroom scene
in order to elect a wet and de
feat a dry."
Cutting denounced Lucas for cir
culating the notorious "1932 Dem
ocratic Victory Scouts" letter against
Norris. This letter purported to be
from the leader of the scouts, urging
Nebraska Democrats to support Nor
ris. It was circulated by Lucas un
der a caption of "This is the kind of
l PPeal coming from New York from
Tammany for Norris." Bee-News.
