During the last few minutes Martlynn Miller, the bride, received a cablegram from Ziegfeld, who had op Pesed the match, wishing them “much happluess. “This ends that fuss, I hope,” was her only comment. “Anyway, I'm ble on anybody else.” After the ceremony, which was performed in seven minutes in the great partor of the Fairbanks home in Beverly Hills Sunday, the wed. ding party came out to the veranda and posed for photographs within aight of the hundreds of persons who had gathered outside the gates of the estate.

A Vane, general manager of the deal ers’ association. “This is clearly a 20 percent Increase, and recent press dispatches indicate that the oil men are in accord on ‘suggestions’ that gasoline should be 3 or 3 cents higher.” | Vane's figures show that service station prices have risen from 2 to 7 cents a gallon. Some cities show, sharp decreases In one month and equally sharp increases in the month following. Dallas, Tex. he said, ts the only city that gave any indication ot a price based upon competition. In Dallas, gasoline dropped as low as 14 cents in September, 1921, while other cities were paying from 18 tc 28 cents, but in June of this year the competition seems to have been over come, as gasoline went to 25 cents and now remains at that figure. Freight rates apparently play little part in setting the prices, aa New| Orleans, in the heart of the oil/ country, is paying 27.5 cents a gal-! lon, and Boston, several thousand! miles away, is paying 28 cents. “The oil industry evidently wants to prolong the war forever,” Vane said. “Twelve million motorists, who consume on an average of about 400 galions of gasoline a year each, would like to have some asefirance mi ROBBER?
