THE FEAST OF PASSOVER
COMES TUESDAY, APR ,
And Will Be Appropriately ob,.,.
by All Augusta Hebrews

The Jewish feast of Passover, whs
will be observed by all Augusta Hebr,,
falls on the 10th day of Nissan, cor,
spending this year with Tuesday, AMI
18th. AS there is no rabbi in Aurn,,
no public observance will be held, NJ
the various families will observe the t,,,
in the usual manner.
The celebration begins on the even,
of April II with shutdown. The mann.
of it's observance was determined lara,
by the biblical ordinances concerning N
feast. 1t is to be observed for pe,.
of seven days. Those who cherish M
toms that originated after Bible tin.
will keep the feast eight days.
The ceremonials are such as are ri!
culated to bring home the histonn
event which the feast commemorss
namely, the new born freedom vouchsa.l
to Israel after the long period of opprs
sion endured under Egyptian tyrarr
The eating of unleavened bread is enios
ed a number of times in the biblical rem
lations touching the observance Of n
Passover feast. Unleavened bread h
characterized as the dread Of affctyI
and is also referred to in the Bible l
the bread that was unleavened becass
of the enforced hasty departure fro
Egypt In post-biblical times the earrs
desire to keep the injunctions most SCI.
pulously led the teachers Of Israel d
enact laws, such as the use of sNa
dishes that had been guarded from cs
tact with leaven and reserved only ID
the Passover season.
A charming and effective feature in d
Seder service around the festive fam
board on the first evening of the fsg
to which the Orthodox add a, second su|
ming. At this family service spsa|
ritual known as the "Haggadah" is red
This ritual contains the story Of u
redemption from servitude, certain n
Elections inspired by the memories
old and certain psalms. This is nj
lowed by the festal meal after vha
Grace is recited. The service cN|
cludes with the reading of addition
psalms, the recitation of prayers al
the singing of time honored hymns
To this home service stranger an;
homeless are cordially invited. On t
table in front of him who presia
over the meal are placed objects rem
iniscent of the ancient service al
servitude. such as bitter herbs, r.
minder of the bitter lot Of those vi
toiled in Egypt; a roast bone. CALM
to mind the ancient paschal lamb;
roasted egg, memorial Of the free vi
offering that was brought In additla
to the paschal lamb; parsley and b
bowl of salt water, symbolizing b
hyssop and it's use in the first PAS
over in Egypt, and CONNECTION
nuts and apples to represent the ci
which Israel worked into bricks.
The Passover, falling at the begin
ming of Spring, had originally pa
toral and agricultural character whic
in time was ver-shadowed by u
historical event associated later wit
the feast. Freedom and it's ohligatio
is the keynote of the celebration. II
Reform synagogs hold special servc
only on the first and seventh da!
while the Orthodox observe also u
second day and an additional eight
day.

federal TRADE COMMISSION
REPORTS INVESTIGATION OF
RISE IN PRICE OF GASOLINE
Submits Statistics reduction and Prices but Draws
No Conclusion as the Cause of Advance in PceGaso
line Content of All Oil in U. S. Decreased Last Year

Washington, April 10.-The Federal
Trade Commission today presented to
Congress a preliminary report on its
investigation Of the rise in price OF
gasoline. The report carries a mass OF
statistics on production and prices, but
draws no conclusions as to the cause
of the increase Of the latter.
OF alleged price determinations,
which the commission is charged with
investigating under Senate resolu-
ton, the report says:
Artificial Manipulation
IF prices are found to have been
tions than in others, making due al
lowance for quality of product, freight
and marketing conditions, it may be
inferred that an element Of artificial
manipulation has entered into the ad-
vance"
One table submitted with the report
shows that tank wagon prices, higher
in the West in January, 1915, than
they were in the East, were higher a
year later in the East The same rela-
ton was shown between prices in the
EIdSt ana W est dIleI lIelSHt NdS ue
Quoted. No mention was made of diff
ferences in marketing conditions in the
two sections.
Exports Partly Blamed
Suggestions that increasing exports
have been partly to blame for higher
prices are considered in a table that
shows that 1915 exports amounted to
Is per cent. of the entire gasoline con-
tent of all the crude petroleum pro-
duced in the United States within the
year. Exports for the year of gasoline,
naphtha and benzine totalled 2S4,5OO,-
900 gallons, against 23S, 100000 in 1914
and 1SS,000,O0O in 1918.
Cushing Field Fails
The tables take up first crude oil pro-
duction for 1915 and show that while pro-
duction virtually was unchanged through
out the Il months, the production in the
Gushing field. whose oil shows the highest
gasoline content of all, dropped from
more than 100000 barrels in April, 1915.
duction in the Healdton field, which pro-
duces small per centage of gasoline,
kept the crude production up to normal
The effect of decreased production in
the Cushing field in gasoline terms is
given in a footnote which says the gas
oline content of oil from the Gushing
field fell from 96O00,OCO gallons in April to
line content of all the oil produced in the
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-04-11

United States decreased during the year.
The estimate of the years total gasoline
content for all the oil of the country was
1897, 500 900 gallons.
Stock Fiucuation
Standard Oil companies. the tables
show, produced about 60 per cent. of the
years gasoline output. Their total was
6s1, $50 600 gallons and that of the indie
pendents 100000 in round figures. Gas
oline stocks held by refineries decreased
steadily from last May, when the total is
put at 292.0oO.0oo gallons. to December
with total of only 152ooc,ooo. Stocks in
creased from the first of the year to May
Price ranges show that the price charg-
ed by the independents averages about
one cent higher than Standard Oil prices
The Standard was, selling gasoline
at it's refineries at 10 cent a gallon Jan
/, 1915 and the independents were charg.
ing S3S for the same grade. There was
little change until August. when the
Standard price went to 7.SS and the indie
pendent price dropped to 500.
Standard Selling Cheaper
Four months later. in December the
Standard was charging 1884 and the
independents 1907.
A table of territorial price changes
f. o. b. refineries. shows that in jan
uary. 1915 the Standard was selling
at SOS cents in Oklahoma and Kansas;
772 in Texas and Louisiana; 1856 in
North Central territory; S.81 in east
ern territory; 6.64 in Rocky Mountain
territory; 9.3s in California.
In December the price ranges had
changed and eastern territory was
paying higher than the others for its
gasoline. December territorial prices
are given: Oklahoma Kansas, 1910;
Texas, Louisiana. 11.34; north central,
1928; east, 14.09; Rocky Mountains,
11.55; California, 11.93.
Crude Oil Base for Charge
Differences in the cost of the crude
oil, the report explains, affects the
price in various parts of the country.
A later report will take that feature
up in detail to show what percentage
of price differences can be traced di-
rectly to crude prices.
Tank wagon prices went from 9S6
cents in the east and 9.61 in the west
last July to 1928 in the east and 1880
in the west in December.
Exports reached their highest mark
last August and dropped in the fall
as the price of gasoline mounted until
gallons against 100000 four months
earlier. Exports in January, 1915 were
100000.

TAKES POISON

Baltimore, April 10.-Coroner Savage
stated tonight after an investigation that
the death of Dr. Harry c. Jones, profess
sor of physical chemistry at Johns Hop
kins university. was due to poison which
he had evidently taken when alone in his
rooms Sunday. Death had been instan-
taneous. The chemist, who was the pio-
neer in physical laboratory work in the
university, took his life. he said, because
he felt that he had not long to live with
the nervous trouble with which he was
suffering. The death and cause of death
of DR.. Jones was a shock to the entire
faculty of the university, members of
which will be mis- pail bearers tomorrow.
