GASOLINE IN VAN
OF LOWER PRICES
Cut in Crude Oil of rs Cents a
Barrel Seen as Basic Re-
construction Move.

Lower costs of transportation and a
consequent reduced cost of doing
business, are seen by motorists in the
recent decline of Mid-continent from
$1.76 to $1.5O per barrel.
The drop in crude means falling
gasoline prices. Standard Oil Of In
diana has already reduced the price
per gallon In the middle West by 3
cents, and the tendency is toward
general lower levels in all sections.
In some States It Is now at % cents

As 5000, 900 of the e,ooo. 900 motor
vehicles in the country are owned by
farmers and as so per cent of auto

POSES, the fuel prices have a direct
hearing on the cost of doing business
The leadership of the oil companies
IN reducing prices Is being hailed in
motor circles as a basic move in re-
construction which will permit low
cred costs OF doing business
1t is believed that lowered prices OF
steel, together with the downward
movement in fuel. are leading to a
stahtlization of trade on a peace-time
basis.
No increase Of prices in the fuel
fields is likely. The high levels of
early 1920 were based on a demand
temporarily in excess of supply. AZ
present, however, many refneries are
closing down for lack OF business.
1921 gasoline production has been far
ahead OF 1920, being 1877, 800 gal

MARY P|CKF:OR IN
 THE LOVE LIGHT
 AT TIE STRAND
Success of Newest Picture Produced and Acted by the Popular Star Due to
 Charm and Appeal

Absolutely different from anything in which she has yet appeared with all the charm and appeal of her best picture, is the opinion of critics who have seen The Love Light" the latest production in which that inlmitable actress, Mary Pickford, is the star. The Love Light is the attraction at the Strand all this week.
 Miss Pickford's most recent success was in that delightful comedy, Through the Back Door, The Love Light is of an entirely different types, but the star proves what an artist she is by presenting as equally appealing characterization and one which calls on her histrionic ability to the full.
 Ever since Mary Pickford has had her own producing organization and could dictate as to the type of photo play in which she was to appear, she has adopted the policy of never adher- ing entirely to one line of parts, not only because she belives that the public likes variety but because she believes the different lines of char acter tend to increase her abifity as an artist.
 Those who saw her recent come dies will certaialy enjoy her in her forthcoming production.
 Miss Pickford has surrounded her self with a splendid cast, which in- cludes such artists as Jean De Braac, for severfal years leading man to Sarah Bernhart: Raymond Boomer, Edward Phillips, rAlbert Prescott Evelyn Dunno, who played with Miss pickford in Little Peppna," bat who had returned to Italy to play im- portant roles in an Italian company and George Rigas
