recently by the municipal telephone

The statement says that a large
proportion of all calls are by women

women are talking much of their
conversation Isl idle. To prove its
point the telephone bureau issued
detailed statistics, the manner Of.
compiling which 1t does not explain.

sations.
When a woman is talking to a

MOTORISTS BEAT
GASOLINE TRUST

BV Times Special
OMAHA. Neb.. May 30.-Motor-
lists here are enjoying the benefits
of gas war between the city and
a cooperative league on the one hand
and the gasoline companies on the
other side. The price of gasoline
has dropped from 20h cents to Is
cents in four days.
The Standard OIL and other com
panies have reduced their price ga
cents to Il cents a gallon for low
test gasoline, to meet the price
charged by the "muny" gas station.
The price cut Is effective only in
Omaha. In surrounding towns the
old price of 20A cents still remains.
Governor Bryan has instructed the
States attorney general to investi
gate the fact that Omaha dealers
are selling gasoline for IL cents in
Omaha, while the same compaies are
charging 3A cents more in towns
only four miles from the city. Bryan
thinks this is a. violation of the
State anti-discrimination law.
The starter of@the gas war was a
jump of cents in ten days some
three months ago, when city COM
missioners voted to install a munich
pal station and to sell gasoline for
II cents.

Legal Cases Oply
The first is that I am going to

He indicated that for the present
