RISING GAsoLENE PRICES.

Ten years ago rising prices in gaso- lene aroused deep emotion among the festive sports and the sons of luxury who at that time owned the majority of automobiles The average man did not think much about it. Gaso- lene in those days was largely a sporting proposition.
 Today the recent advances in price of gasolene and other petroleum products will be felt as an added cost in raising food, and in transporting all kinds of products.
 Gasolene production had previous ly been helped to cover high labor and expense costs, by liberal increases of price that went into effect within the past five years. And now it is even reported that still further ad- vances are likely to take place.
 Congressman Dyer of Missouri is asking for an investigation of these advances. The Times hopes it will be a real one, and if just ground for complaint is found, that something more than talk will result

ENGLISH MOBILES
 PART WITH LAND

London, April 7.-England's war taxes continue to force many of her nobility to sell parts of their great estates. One of the greatest of these which recently has passed under the auctioneer's hammer. is that of the Duke of Rutland, which is known as BeIvoir. The Duke owns about 59,- 900 acres of which he is selling about 13,000 acres located in the best part of the Lincolnshire hunting district He explained at public meeting that the sale was made necessary by the increasing burden of taxation result ing from the war.
 Goadby Hall, one of the Duke properties of 230 acres, was sold pri- vately in advance of the public sale and 100 tenants have bought from the Duke the farms he had rented to them.
 Earl Manver's estate, known as ''HoIme Pierrepont' at Radchffe-on- Trent, has been sold at auction for 42,6S5 pounds. It covers 32O acres. It is reported that part of the es- tate of the Earl of Londesborough comprising Raincliffe Woods and Racecourse has been bought by 9 Scarborough flnancier.

fluctuated almost daily and increased steadily, and that neither the con- tractor nor the government could tell in advance what cantonment, a shipyard, or a munitions factory would cost. Yet, he said, these things had to be constructed to win the war and the government, pressed for time, inevitably had to make cost-plus con tracts and rush the work through. The government paid the bill for the labor and materials and paid the con tractors a nominal fee based on the cost of the project for the contrac- tors services, supervision and respon- sibiIty.
 Representative Garrett has been minority member of one of the sev- eraI smelling committees named by the House to investigate the conduct of the war and he declared these po- litica1 Investigations had produced no scandal in the letting of war con tracts. Instead of capious criticism of small details, he said, members of Congress should rejoice that the war had been won and should turn their energies instead to reconstructive legislation

OUR CHEMICAL INDEPENDENCE.

One of the little known by-products of the war has been the advance in the United States of the manufacture of medicines. Once we were obliged to buy most of these supplies abroad, from Germany usually, and, since we had to have them at any price, the Germans charged US outrageous1y. Some of these chemicals used to cost $7o an ounce, so that a single dose might cost S10. When the supply ceased at the beginning of the war our own chemists set to work to dis cover the secrets. Years of work fol- lowed, but today there is scarcely a chemical product we cannot manu- facture for ourselves, and usually at a low price. The medicine which used to cost s10 a dose now costs one dol lar.

DIR. BRANNON IN ACCIDENT
Physician Drive Car Into Freight Train
ut McHenry Crossing at An Early 4!
Id Isl Hour ISa tur1ay Morning :,

DR.. P. j.. Bran non figured in an acct
dent at an early hour Saturday morris
ing and how he escaped with his life is
almost a miracle. The doctor was re-
turning home about $3.50 o'clock in the
morning from making a call down III
the vicinity Of Buck Grove and Yves
driving his car north at considerable
speed When he reached the sand pit
he looked to see if the crossing was
clear. and not seeing a train started
across, only to crash into a westbound
freight.
The automobile was thrown into the
ditch and was badly damaged. DIR.
Brannon received a bad cut on the fore
head from a piece of glass from tie
windshield. The csr was badly darn.
aged, the hood, ferlders. radiator, one
wheel and front axle being badly
smashed. T.
DR.. Brannon is unable to account for
the accident only for the fact that the
train was a long one and the engine
had already passed the crossing when
he arrived so the lights were not in evil
dence. He had his side curtains Oh the
car and this probably interfered with
hearing the train.
