OIL PRICE

1t is never easy to understand the
business policies of the oil companies,
trust or Independent, because it is
never easy to know the moving i'm
pulses behind the sudden shiftings
and changes in prices and other
things connected with the manage
ment Of such concerns. We are not
again surprised, but only again be-
wildered, by the reputed sudden drop
in the prices of crude oil and gaso-
line. During weeks and months in
which the prices of these products
have been so steadily advancing, the
only consolation offered by managers
of oil concerns has been that "the
worst is yet to come"
1t was all due to excessive demand,
they assured us. The demand for
crude oils and gasoline growing out of
the enormous increase in motor
driven vehicles and machines, auto
mobiles, auto trucks and the like, de-
mand was so far outrunning supply
that large and steady advances in
prices were the thing to expect, and
they could hold out no hope of an
early return to normal levels. While
they were shooting up prices nobody

DICKINSON BALL TEAM
DEFEATS ALL NATIONS

The final game Of the season was
played at the Dickinson ball park
last Friday, when the local team de-
feated the aggregation known as
Schmelzer's All Nation team by a
score CT 7 to 5.
The visitors started off we'll, the
first man up making a score on two
errors, a passed ball and Mendez's
single. The locals scored one in the
third inning, Grub gaining the first
two sacks on errors and scoring on
Daugherty's hit. In the fourth in
ming Dickinson accumulated two
more runs, Lano being given a walk
to first. advancing on Pippin's hit,
and both scoring on a clean single
by Tierney.
In the seventh inning the first man
up for the visitors was hit by the
pitcher, while the next two walked,
which, aided by Lano's error, let in
ore run.
The eighth was almost as bad, the
local pitcher again hitting the first
batter and walking the second.
Mendez then knocked a home run to
the right field fence, and the score
stood 5 to 3 for the visitors. But the
way the home team landed on the
All Nations twirler soon turned the
tables and while Mendez relieved
KEENAN, at the slab, it was too late
to saw the game, the Dickinson boys
having acquired four more RUIZ on
five clean hits.
Northrop only allowed three of the
visitors to face him in the ninth, and
another victory was added to the al
ready long list for the home team
this season.

sleeps beside his COW. The southern
cracker likes to have the chickens
running under the table. These
customs are quite cxcusable, for they
are based on convenience and econ
omy, but no such good eason can be
given for the admission of cats and
dogs to the family circle by those
persons who + rich enough to be
more select in the company they keep.
But it seems that the richer people
n the more they take to beasts.
If the presence of dogs and cats make
a home unwholesome for children,
why the children will have to go,
that's all. In fact, the children have
already gone from thousands of the
wealthiest homes, and various fan
tastic brut3s have taken their places.
Stroll down Fifth Avenue on a sunny
afternoon and you will count twice as
many dogs as babies. In fact, you
might think that you had CHANGED by
mistake upon II of those Cities of
the Blind that they are building in

touching sight to sec these wealthy
people whom some would call hard
and selfish %lavishing their money and
devoting their personal attention to
animals who arc rarely beautiful and
useful, and whose only claim
upon mans gratitude is that their

When the super-submarine
deutschland" unostentatiously broke
water inside the Virginia capes and
placidly swan into port after her
three thousand mile voyage, it was
difficult to repress a cheer for the
courage and hardihood of the German
seamen and the inventive genius of
German industry. The Great War
has put the capstone on the German
reputation for constructive skill, for
administrative organization, for in
dustrial effectiveness, for collective
efficiency. But it has done more than
that. 1t has shown that the German,
as a man, has good stuff in him. 1t
has shown him brave-such victories
as the German arms have won on
land were never the work of faint
hearted men. 1t has shown him dar-
ing-on the sea and under it, and in
the air over sea and land, he has
taken always the long chance and
held his life at a %farthing's price for
the Fatherland's sake. When history
comes to write the book of the Great
War, many a fair page will be filled
with even-headed praise of German
efficiency, of German valor, of
German devotion.

OUR BEASTLY INTIMATES
Tie doctors are having Il hard tin

Tie doctors are having a hard time
ut ho" The germ OF ~infantilo
,.-..Iysis gets about. 1t attacks rich
and poor alike, and seems to have no
connection with mosquito ponds or
sewer pipes. But so many cases are
reported from households where there
are animal pets that some physicians
have come to the conclusion that
the microbe is conveyed by them. If
this theory proves true it will add
another to the many diseases which
come to mar because of his fondness
for living with the lower animals. 1t
is a habit he finds it hard to break
off, for it is an old habit, several
hundred thousand years old. For
when mar first took to living in
caves he had many faunal commensals
whose pictures he drew upon the
walls. The mastodon was doubtless
too big to be made a pet of, but the
reindeer and the horse man took in
and tanned. Soon the wildcat and the
wolf crept in to get by the fire, and
man made them useful.
Now the automobile has left the
horse and reindeer far behind, and
soon they will find their occupation
gone. The watchdog cannot compete
with the electric burglar alarm, and
the cat is not half so good a mouse
trap as one made of wire. But mar
is not like those climbers who cut
their humble associates as they rise
in the social scale. Although he has
climbed the ladder of evolution to the
very top, he still retains a fondness
for his poor relations and likes to
have them in his house, ever though
they are useless and bothersome.

suffrage states with about 100000
enfranchised women, il was at last
possible to have an entering wedge in
congress
Superintendent r. J. Tighe. OF the

Of equal suffrage. Il never could UNI
derstand why thousands of thinking IN
telligent women should be denied the
right of expressing themselves through

thousands of unthinling men, SAID
Mr.. Tighe.
Miss A Louise Dietrich spoke on the
need Of the vote. She said that women
who had homes, fathers. husbands, sons
or brothers to provide for them, and
