According to the report OF the

the price of gasoline is usually fixed
by the Magnolia, Texas and Pierce
oil corporations and that whenever
any OF these companies post advances
or decreases. all OF the small COM

The investigation before the corpo-

ton of sections SO and 27, volume 3,

Mr.. Crittenden also said that his in.
vestigations In Tulsa showed Just what
he expected II to-that il was going
TO be colossal task to get at the
exact cost of producing a gallon of
gasoline. Hecause practically all the
profit made in the oil business is
made on the gasoline. and because the
producers have not followed a system
of record keeping which show exactly
what percentage of the cost OF re-
filming should be charged to the gaso-
line. the work involved In separation
of costs will be stupendous. Mr.. Crit
tenden will probably ask the auditors
of the Independent companies in this
district TO prepare such cost sheets
over the period of one year.
All OF the testimony taken today
showed that the cost OF the different
items consumed In the production Of
gasoline have increased from 30 TO
800 per cent since the fall Of 1915,
and that the demand for gasoline is
Increasing very much faster than the
supply.

PRESIDENT WILSON
 SEES ALL TIE SHOWS

flrst III peace, first in war and first nlghter at the theater That's Presi- deht Wilson. It's an unusual week in washington amusement circles when the chief executive does not attend at least one of the theaters. And the high ambition of every actor-vaude- Vile or legitimate-is to win smile or a laugh from the president.
 The presidents party goes to the theater the first night of each week when the president has no other en- agreements. Mrs. Wilson always ac- comfahles him, and generally several too. 'ei'O'
 fresident Wilson is good auditor, ne glves every act on the bill his an- preciation, from acrobats to headliner and frequently sHe stays to see the movies, although it's difficult to watch them rom the presidents box. He is not at all averse to laughing heartily at a good line, fact that helps out the actors more than he can realize. For when the president attends the theater the audience cant resist watching his party throughout the evening, and a me that he laughs at is pretty sure to De sure fire material with the rest of the house. The general audience. in snort catches its cues for heavy laugh ter from the president himself.
 Nothlng is too highbroW or oWb~ow Tor the president in the amusement ileld. Because he is a good theater- goer he takes in everything that plays Washington, and that includes a lot. The national capital is dog town a city where many new productions have their first metropolitan showing and play that incites presidential glee In it's first week is a great inspiration Tor the actors and dramatists.

Fordham Eleven
Badly Crippled

The Fordham players had their third
scrimmage OF the week yesterday, when
tho varsity and prep elevens met in
a forty-minute tussle. II was the final
hard workout before to-morrow's game
with Holy Cross Mt Fordham Field.
Coach McCafcry allowed the collegians
TO take the offensive first, and then
the Maroon youngsters worked for n
similar period on the attack.
The prep backs broke through inc
line several times and managed TO halt
the big team once In while. Demp-
sew showed some power IN straight
driving and Fitzpatrick and McGrath
showed up we'll on the defence.
Fordham will face Holy Cross To-
morrow with a partially crippled team.

having leg baked Frank Frisch, who
has been the biggest ground gamer
for the Maroon, has not scrimmaged

but he will probably play against Holy
Cross. O'Connell took Collettis place
in the backfeld Fogarty entered n
scrlmmage for the first time this week.
Fred Smith. the old Princeton quar-
ter. who coached at Fordham ten years
ago, was on the field yesterday TO look
