NEW YORK. Feb. 25 UNITED Press.l
The Standard oil Company Of New
York today announced an increase OF
one cent in the price OF gasoline The
wholesale price in New Jersey is now
% i-2 cents a gallon.
Independent oil refntrs OF western
Pennsylvania, meeting 10 the Bellevue
SLratford Hotel. Philadelphia, yester-
day, discussed the practlcabiliiy OF hav-
ing their crude oil plped from the Kan
sas and oklahoma fields rather than
purchase Il from producers In western
Pennsylvania and West Virginia and re-
fine II at narrow margin or a loss.
The prevailing situation In the refining
industry was said 10 be so acute that
operation would have TO be suspended
II producers do not soon release their
crude stocks for price that will not
be prOhibiiive TO a profit.
Pennsylvania and West Virginia oil
producers are holding their crude oil In
pipe lines and will not release II until
there Is a further advance in price"
said C. D Chamberlin, OF Cleveland, O..
general counsel for the National petro-
leum Association. who presided al the
morning session. There Is no way. In
which they can be prevented from hold
inc their crude oil. and the advisahllily
OF piping oil from the Kansas and Okla
homa fields is now being discussed.
"Rennpries are being operated at a
loss. and they are not receiving an equi-
table distribution OF oil which would be
available n the producers were not
trying 10 force up prices.
'My personal opinion Is that n will
he practicable 10 buy oil In the western
fields. The Standard oil Co has line
running from Kansas and Oklahoma TO
western Pennsylvania That l'ne le
common carrier. and by complying with
tarln requirements OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission we could have
oil transported 10 the refners In this
part OF the country by means OF that
Mr. Chamberlain predicted an Increase
OF one cent In The price Of gasoline
within the next thirty days and an ad-
dit'Onal increase Of another cent 10 fol-
low that a month later. 1.-THE line OF
cOnsumntlon has crossed The line OF
production" he said "and an Increase
Is Inevitable. Many authorities IN the
oil business think the price OF gaso-
lino before long will be forty cents a
gallon.
There are now 7On0nO0 au'omoh1cs
IN this country. and IL Is the Intention
10 build lhree times that many with N
the next several years Where they are
going 10 g'a the easoi'nc with which
10 run them Is a big question:"
The conference Yesterday was attend
ed by nifty representatives OF lndepend-
oil concerns. Before adjournment =
committee was appointed to make a
careful study OF the entire situation
and endeavor IN work oui nlan
an equitable supply OF oil In
with what there Is available
may be obtained for their independent
renneries.

A Simple Way To
Remove Dandruf

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of .plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need). apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
OF the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy. lustrous,
silky and soft, and look and feel a
hundred times better.-Adv. -s-
