A rumor to the effect that the price OF
gasoline will be raised in the Immediate
future has caused some stir and quite a
little discussion among Automobiles.
recent interview with the departmental
head Of the largest producing corporation
in the world reveals no cause for alarm.
There is now on hand a greater supply OF
motor gasoline than at a corresponding
time last year. On May 20 last the whole
sale price was reduced to u cents per gall
Ion. point not generally known to the
average consumer is that only certain
brands of crude oil will produce gasoline,
which is known to the trade at various de-
grees Of density as naphtha. The Texas
and California oil yields no naphtha and
the bulk of the supply in this country
comes from Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Bowling starts in full blast tomorrow
night at the Association alleys on Harvey
street and, barring accident, will proceed
without intermisslon for twenty-eight
weeks. The schedule is published on this
page for the first round Of seven weeks
and four rounds will be played. making a
championship series OF twenty -tlBnl weeks
Interest in bowling is keener than ever
before and all of the old war horses in
Guiding II. Dinger Reed, Bower McCague
and Bill Wigman. have been daily prac-
ticing for the initial performances. Not
only have the individuals been practicing
up, but the players have been practiclng
by teams, so that some sort Of line can
be obtained on the play Of the teams in
the race. The rail birds say that the race
will be much more even than II was last
year when some Of the teams were so
much stronger than the others They even
prophesy that a blanket will cover the
leaders and the tailenders most of the
way through the season. The two weak
teams have been dropped and no one can
pick the strong team.
There Is no other topic OF conversation
In bowling circles except the league and
until that is fairly under way nothing else
will be considered. The teams have been
changed around until at present they are
all commercial teams-that is they all
represent some commercial house. The
Waverleys have been changed to the
Cudahys and the Council Bluffs team to
the Benos. While some do not like this
Idea so much it assures the teams of good
backing to say the least. Women are
game than ever before and the alleys are
practically turned over to the women folks
each morning. Some of these women are
becoming quite proficient as bowlers and
can vie with their stronger brothers in
rolling the heavy balls.
