Lane EXPLAINS
GASOLINE PRICES
Blames Refining and Trans
porting Companies for Hold
ing Up Consumer.
HE URGES USE OF BENZOL
Says Increased Home Consumption.
Greater Exports and Lowered
Supply All Are Factors.

In a report TO the Senate today Secre-
tary Lane placed the responsibility for
the high price of gasoline on the strong
refining and transporting companies.
The Secretary OF the Interior Is unwiIl-
ing TO concede that increased exports
and home consumption are alone sufrI-
cient to send the price OF gasoline up to
the heights 1t has attained.
The obvious fact is that the strongest
rehning and transporting companies take
advantage both Of the falling and rising
markets in crude oil. Under these con-
ditions market shortage of crude may
develop which is not wholly warranted
by actual production. yet II no less sure
ly leads to higher prices In both crude
and refined products.
Commenting on the financial infiu-
ences" that have affected the price of
gasoline the report says:
The recent rapid increase in the price
of crude oil and gasoline have been
accompanied by rapid increases in the
market quotations OF oil company
shares"
Among the general causes enumer-
ated by the Secretary of the Interior
In seeking to account for the high
price OF gasoline are also the in
creased consumption Of gasoline in
the United States. At the same tim.
the export trade in oil increased B<B,-
600 barrels in 1914 over the previous
year and last year the exports were
100000 barrels greater than in 1914
automobiles and internal combustion
engines are held responsible for the
Increased cost of gasoline
Secretary Lane also directs attention
TO the decreased production of crude
OH ~hich contains large percentage
Of gasoline.
In conclusion Secretary Lane says:

Merger OF civic
BODIES FAVORED
Cathedral Heights Citizens
Hear Plan for Union of
Smaller Associations.

An appeal for the consolidation Of the
many citizens associations OF the Dis
trict into a few large civic organizations
with stronger prestige was made by Har-
old Davis at a meeting OF the Cathe-
dral Heights Citizens Association in st.
Adams Parish Hall last night No ac-
ton was taken on Mr.. Davis suggestion.
There are too many citizens organiza-
tions in the various sections of the city,
said Mr.. Davis. This fact has brought
criticism from at least two Engineer
Commissioners of the District. The con-
sequence is that when something is want
ed the various associations do not go be-
fore the authorities in unison.
Take this section, for instance. This
Is very small community to have three
organizations-the Cathedral Heights, the
Connecticut Avenus, and the Cleveland
Park School and Community Associa-
tons.
New Members Received.
Although the boundary disputes be-
tween these three organizations have
been settled by the action of the
Cleveland Park Association in decid-
ing that It will work for the entire
section without restriction of bound
aries, there is a sentiment among some
of the members for consolidation.
The association adopted a resolu-
tion offered by A. s. Fields. protest
ing against the erection Of distinctive
apartment houses and commercial
structures in that section, which the
resolution called a section of small in
diyldusl home-owners. The resolu-
tion contended that such buildings
would mar the natural beauties of
Cleveland Park and vicinity.
A. Y. Graf, representative of the
association on the ad vigilance COM
mittee Of the Retail Merchants Asso-
citation. reported on the activities of
the committee in purifying advertis-
ing in the District, and OF the steps
that have. been taken to secure litiga-
tion from Congress to wipe out

The following new members were
received: Van H. Manning. Graham

Miltiades Christophides in Review OF
Reviews: From the midst of what
seemed a general decadence of HELEN

towering above the ruins of the glory
that was Greece" He undertook to re-
build his country, and to restore He1las
to its ancient greatness and splendor.
Until the spring Of 1915, this seemed
to be the destined task of the man
Eleutherios Venizelos, the former
premier of Greece and now the head
of the provisional government set UP
in Saloniki against, the government at
Athens.
Whether the abrupt termination of
his services to the Greek state as q re-
suit of his overthrow by King Constan-
tine some nineteen months ago, mark
ed the definite end of his achievements
toward the realization of his dreams,
or whether he will succeed as leader Of
a revolution in accomplishing what is
left of his avowed mission, is queS-
tion which we may wisely leave for the
future to answer,
Born in a small village on the island
of Crete, in the year 1854, VeniZelos re

schools of his native island, after which

| prising cooIness, his absolute self-con-
troll, his ability to overcome and con-
ceal his emotions, his extraordinary
pose, and his unswerVing adherence to
the object to be attained, are not gen
orally characteristic of the Greeks of
today.
Yet Venizelos is a most genuine
Greek. His is one of the oldest families
| of Greece True with the exception of
his two sons, he is the only bearer of
his family name in Greece. One might
mistakenly regard the name of Veni-
his ancestors living in Athens at the
time when the Venetian Admiral Fran
cesco Morosini bombarded and destroy
ed the Parthenon (about the middle of
the seventeenth century,. One of the
best houses at the very foot of Acrop-
oils belonged to the VeniZelos family,
together with beautiful private chap

1t seems that the name venizelos is
originally a Byzantine name. From
Athens the Venizelos family went to
Pylos, on the fertile western coast of
Peloponnesus, having been compensat-
ed by the Venetian republic with a gen
erous gift of land for their part in an
effort of Athens to cooperate with
Morosini against the turks.
From Pylos the family moved to
Crevatas, near Sparta, and then to the
island of Crete, whene Eleutherios Ven

MANY Big

PLANNED
North Dakota Special to
Chicago Show is Getting
Wide Attention

Grand Forks. N. D., Nov. 16.--F. r.
Crane OF the Great Northern railway
Is spending a few days in Grand Forks
in perfecting details in the handling
OF the North Dakota special train
which will be run to the International
Livestock show at Chicago December
4 to 9.
Mr.. Crane is able to announce at
this time that the reservations that
have been made up to the present
from the western and north central
parts of the state are beyond all eX-
pectations. He has spent the last
week at Leeds, Davils Lake, Rolette,
Minot and Williston and from these
towns and branches leading from
able to sign up over 150 Of the live
wires in that part of the country, rs
per cent of whom are farmers.
1t Is possible at this time to an
nounce that as part Of the enter
tainment during the week the Grand
Forks Commercial club will serve a
dinner to the eXcursionists on Monday
evening" Dec A. AS 1t is expected
there will be over two hundred on the
train by the time 1t reaches Grand
Forks. the party will be handled in
two sections, an early supper will be
served for those who will take the
train at Grand Forks and will include
all from the Langdon, Walhalla, Neche
and MayVille lines and a later supper
to those who will arrive from the
west at 1880 o'clock.
Rotary Club Banquet.
At st. Paul the Rotary club, in
conjunction with the Association of
Commerce. will entertain the travel
ers at banquet to be given Tuesday
noon at the st. Paul hotel During
the day a trip will be made to one
nf he 10 n trxy 20 +o
Paul and to the stock yards at South
st. Paul.
Chicago Plans.
A part of the entertainment at Chi.
cago will be a dinner given for the
party by Armour & Co. Other Chica-
go interests have asked for details of
the trip so that arrangements may
be made for entertainment. While
the larger part Of the time will be
spent on serious subjects during the
week, enough entertainment is as
sured so that there will be no dull
moments. Madison, Wisconsin, has
net yet announced it's program as
it will be made up to fit in with the
lectures which will be given at the
university during the day.
Educational Plans.
Mr.. Crane believes that the educa-
tion that can be gained on this trip
relative to the livestock industry will
more than repay those who will make
up the party. In the past three years
he has taken smaller parties from
the western part Of North Dakota on
like trips to Wisconsin. The results
show today in increased pure bred
livestock, larger acreage Of alfalfa
and a large number Of silos have been
erected. Every moment during the
week will be devoted to intelligent in
quiry into advanced farming methods.
