During the first months of this year the consumptitn of gaso- line greatly exceeded production. But the primary reason was the con stantly increasing price of crude oil. Still other reasons for the mounting prices are the greatly increased cost of labor, of steel, and of other items used in) manufacture; also the constantly advancing cost of marketing and dis- tribution, Everything that goes into the refining expensive today.: But the primary. and_ controlling reason is found in the increasing cost of crude. inkeeping with its well-known policy, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been able for gasoline in the face of advancing prices for crude oil because of its large scale operation and. refining, and its complete and distribution. its advanced facilities for obtaining a maximum quantity of gasoline fom @ given quantity of crude. The Middle West depends largely upon gasoline power for producing food stuffs. \ The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is straining every fibre of its highly specialized organization to meet this demand.

(CHEERED AS HE TAKES THE MOUND New York, Aug. “Aug. 24—Carl Mays pitched for the New York Yankees against Detroit yesterday and shut out the Tigers, 10 to 0. It was Mays’ first appearance since the accident that resulted..in the death of Ray Chapman, shortstop of the Cleveland club. That.the New York fans were with Mays; was evidenced by the recep- tion given him. When he appeared to “warm up” he was cheered. This was repeated when Mays was an- nounced’ asthe pitcher and agains when he took his place. Before the game ‘started, Mays ex- pressed to several baseball writers ‘his resentment of the reported moye- ment of the Boston and Detroit clubs against him, and reference to him as a “bean” ball pitcher. “Both those clubs have pitchers who have hit. more men this season than J,” he said. “Bush of Boston has hit ten men and Ehmke of De- troit, has hit either nine or ten, while I have hit six.” BASEBALL BUG HITS ALASKA Nenana, AlaSka, Aug. 24.—Baseball games are being played every Sunday this summer _in interior Alaska, not far south of the Arctic circle.
