STANDARD
DOMINATES
OIL TRADE
tBy United Press.)

WASHINGTON. April 24.-The fed
eral trade commission in its report
to the senate today found that the
Standard Oil interests substantially
dominates the gasoline industry.
Refining, pine line transportation
and marketing of the finished product,
the commission declared. are control
led by the "oil octopus" The report
says real competition does not exist
between the various Standard oil COM
panies because OF the interlocking in
terests.
Despite the dissolution of the social
led oil trust. the commission has con-
cluded that Standard Oil domination
has a fundamental bearing OH gasoline
prices declared TO have been arbitrar-
lily increased.
Legislation to meet the condition is
strongly recommended by the commits
sion. With this in view all evidence
and findings have also been transmit
ted to the attorney general for action.
Standard Oil refineries produced
more than so per cent of the gasoline
manufactured in 1915. sold about 65
per cent of that output, and held more
than 10 per cent of all gasoline stocks.

Maurice Roth Was Nearly
a Soldier-He Thinks it
is a Cruel World.
BY IRVING CHAYKEN.

COLUMBUS, OHIO. April 24-The
army examining doctor eyed Maurice
Roth. a recruit from Hammond Roth
was straight string and sound as
a dollar. His heart beat like turbine
engine. He had all his teeth and toes.
the five senses and no corns or bunions.
To all appearance he was one hundred
per cent volunteer.
Intuitiyely. though. the doctor felt
there was something wrong somewhere.
Roth was too good to be true. He had
finely developed muscles, good carriage.
clear eyes and sound lungs but the very
fact that there was not a flaw to be
found aroused the skeptical examiner.
He kept returning to where the Indiana
Adonis stood. la September Morn.
among crowd of forty recruits from
Hammond. all neryously awaiting the
verdict. Some had already been shifted
out.
Suddenly the military physician had
Inspiration He twined his fingers in
the sleek, oiled. perfectly parted thatch
adorning Mr.. Roth. Not a hair had been
out of place and it seemed a shame to
disturb them A second later the officer
lifted the hair clear of the recruit s
head. Smoth as marble. white as the
inside of a cocoanut and without even
the suggestion OF natural hair, the
dome of Maurice Roth appeared. He
was as bald as Jack Trainor.
The officer carefully readjusted the
toupee. Roth sighed dejectedly. Today
he is on his way back to Hammond with
the congratulations of the officer for
his good intentions, and having slipped
by the preliminary examiners.
And most of the Hammond recruits
are doing special duty for having
laughed.
