The government recognizes the
Standard oil company as being by far
the largest manufacturer Of gasoline,
as we'll as one OF the largest producers
of oil; but at the same time recos-

Allies and Public to share.
1t Is expected the allied govern
nents will share such advantages as
may result from the action of the
president, and It Is believed the public
will be protected from any material
advance that may be attempted by the
retailers.
This latest report seems to be more
authentic than any previous rumor,
yet thero is nobody In position to an
ticipate the final action. There Is no
such thing as authentic and specific
news pertaining to price fixing 1t Is
known that the federal trade commits
sion has made what II takes pride in
calling a thoro investigation as to the
cost OF production OF oil and gasoline,
and has placed those cost figures In
the hands OF the president who In
turn turned them over to the war in

ton. The president always has the
last "say-so" and upon recommenda-
tions of the federal trade commission
and the war industries board. togeth-

YES, LAUGH AT YOURSELF
Much Wisdom Is Needed II We Are
to See Ourselves as Others
See Us.

Laughter is q mark of intelligence
only when one is able to laugh at HIM
self, to smile with others at his own
awkwardness, whims, shortcomings
and personal peculiarities, remarks the
New York Tribune. One needs a GER
tain amount of wisdom in order to
know when he Is making himself riiic-
ulous. He must be big enough and
wise enough to put himself in another's
place and see himself as others see
him. 1t Is then that laughter serves
the purpose of corrective and q
means Of self-disciplIne.
But this requires a certain breadth
OF vision which not everyone possesses.
Lincoln had 1t, and with all the sad
ness and tragedy of his life this abil-
ity to laugh at himself kept him sweet
and human, saved his wit from irony
ana cynicism, and enabled him to
laugh, not at people but with them. It
Is this trait of quaint self-ridicule and
aloofness from that petty sense of dig
nifty which spurns self-criticism
which constitutes the true sense Of
humor. All the great humorists, from
Aristophanes to Mark Twain have had
II. Half the fun of life must be en-
1oyed at ones own expense.
A man may be dead in earnest In
his devotion to some great cause, as
was Lincoln, yet keep his faith in him
self and his ideals. 1t is this sense of
numor which preserves balance and
saves a man from bigotry and fanati-
eism. For want of it among good
people and reformers many a noble
cause has failed and many a moral
IDEAL has been rendered almost unen-
durable.

Minnesota Physician Explains ReasonS
for tuberculosis infection in
Entire Families.

III tuberculosis, is not hereditary
why Is it usually found in most of the
members of an. infected family?"
The reason, according to DR.. 1. J.
Murphy Of the Minnesota Public
Health association, is this:
"The first case. in q family usually
infects all the other members of the
family before the case Is diagnosed or
sent to sanatorium.
Infection of other members of al
family can be- prevented, as a rule.
only by removing the source Of the in
lection to sanatorium," adds Doctor
Murphy. Children especially should
be safeguarded. from individuals who
may be casting off tubercle bacilli in
their sputum or mouth spray. Today
authorities agree that childhood is the
period of Infection.
Most Of those who develop con-
SUMPTION In adult life have carried the
latent infection, from childhood and
have not received a new infection at
the time the symptoms appear. The
extremely heavy death rate from tu-
berculosis between the ages of twenty
and thirty is due to childhood infec-
tons which are lit up by the various
forms Of life strains to which young
adults are subjected.
