stitutes Monopoly
By Fl. X. REYNOLDS,
international News Service.

In q gigantic effort to break
the alleged control of the Standard
Ion Company over gasoline and
oil prices IN the United States,
the Federal Government today
charged thirty of the country's
great oil companies with violation
Of the Sherman antitrust law
and asked the district court at
Chicago to enjoin them further
violations.
The suits were filed under the
direction Of Attorney General
Harlan F. Stone, on the basis Of
an investigation conducted by
the Federal Trade Commission.
Companies Named.
The litigation thus started by the
Government is regarded by officials
of the Department Of Justice as
among the most important that has
been undertaken during the past
quarter Of century.
The companies named in the bill
include the Standard Oil Of Indiana,
Standard of New Jersey, Standard
of California, Standard Of Kansas,
Standard Of Louisiana, Standard OF
New York, Standard of Ohio, the
Texas Company, the American Re-
filming Company, the Aetna Refining
Company and twenty other great
oil companies.
In explanation of the Govern
ment's legal assault on the various
Standard Oil Companies, which were
dissolved several years ago by the
United States courts, the Depart
ment of Justice issued the following
official statement:
Control Is Charged.
"In bringing this suit Attorney
General Stone charged that all these
great companies have combined to
control the production of gasoline
by a pooling Of asserted patent
rights in violation Of the Sherman
antitrust act, named as the pri.
mary defendants in the conspiracy
to organize and maintain the un.
lawful combination, the Standard
Oil Company Of Indiana, Standard
OIL Company Of New Jersey, Stand.
ard Development Company, Texas
Company, and the Gasoline Prod.
ucts Company.
In substance, the petition filed by
the Attorney General alleged that
due to the increased demand for
gasoline resulting from the great
increase In the use Of automobiles.

which increases the yield from a

that disclosures Of this process was

cake. Fortune Joe contributed. as a surprise. a salad made of the white, crablike flesh of the devil-fish, and Pavlof prepared B Russian dish of doubtful content: In these hours Dorothy lay in troubled sleep in her tent; and Pete. in his dugout, sat gazing darkly out to sea.
 Dorothy had been true to her promise to herself, and she had shut all misgivings out of her mind. She had decided upon her course, and she knew that only doubt and despair would follow any attempt to consider the matter further. Meanwhile Pete had searched Heaven and earth for strength to stand up under the bitter ness of this hour.
 It was a bitter day, as if in tragic prophecy. The winds blast was like breath of death; it shrilled over the hills and fretted the sea in eddying streaks and dark, uneasy pillows, and it blew the fine stinging sand in in visible clouds The fogs lifted and lowered, ghostly and wan; and any instant might bring the pelting sleet. They intended to bold the wedding feast in the open before the fireside, but this was given over as the lower ing dusk increased the intensity of the cold. Pavlof served his fine meal with flourish in Dorothy's tent; he and Fortune Joe ate in the dugout as ever. Pete himself complained that he was still ill from his accident, and the loaded pans passed him by.

To Dorothy it was impossible to believe that the appointed hour was almost at hand. The bleak day was dying; she had promised 10 go to Ivan fin the dusk. Already the out line of the hills had softened, tho alder thicknts were becoming gray blur in the lowering gloom, the myriad tones and hucs of the sea were darkcncd and subdued Only the white cross that marked the grave was still plain and bright, The twilight grew upon her like a sor- row.
 Ivan smiled at her. '1s 1t time ." he asked.
 Any time now" sh. told him simply.
 He walked over to the dngout and l summoned Pete and ihe two natives. It was all very expeditions and simple. He placed Favlof. his Rus. sian pocket Bible that he could moi read in his hand, directly in front of the white cross of the grave, just above where the highest waves rolled on tho shore. The other two men, acting as witnesses. stood at one side Then Ivan joined Dorothy at the door Of inc tent.
 ''I'm going to play our own wedding music,' he told her softly. "YouIl enjoy the memory of if. What would you like 2"
 Something not too profound. oh, Promise Me if you like" This did not represent the kind oI music that Ivan personally preferred, and he secretly scornud this par ticular selection because of the many times he had heard 1t badly rendered: yet because Dorothy had asked for it. he would give il all he had. He took his violin from it's case; then, standing in tho twilight. the glow Of the fro on his twinklinE white hands and his rapt. almost beautiful face. hc began to play.
 The sweetness Of that old song brought tears at once to her eyes. btii she did not let the melody transport her out of the grim, living present. She did not lot her thoughts and dreams soar with her again, only to shatter her to earth. She was true io her promise fo herself. It was strange, weird picture: the fire that glowcd and lcapcd in the dusk. the restless sea, tho silent, watching wit nesscs standing beside the white cross that marked the grave. The song died away and the brisk wind scat tered the last. fine golden threads of melody; and then. urged by sons im- pulse Of his artists soul. Ivan began 10 play again.
 He had played "Oh. Promise Me" playing for himself. and partly per haps for the man Of his own blood who waited with open Bible at the edge of the sea. Something In the scene and the winds vail had in- spircd him and he chose a selection from Inc Peer Gynt suite. by GrieE. lt was wild. haunting thing. and in it hr nut his own passion. the mood of his oan heart.
 It was not wise choice, if he cared for Dorothyis peace Of mind. The song moted her and bevitcbpd her. hut also it frightened her beyond any power Of hers to understand. That wild music became. through the { magic nf his genius. some way part of the night. the very voice Of this wild. cerie savage land into which he Vss cast.

 There was a loud laugh from one of the men at my challenge. but | noticed hopefully that it was not shared by the others, nor dld u have the insouciant note which the other guffaw held. It was quickly .ilenced by the smallest of the men, evidently the leader. who said Nen- omously:

The waist is heightened and the skirt shortened until the belt prac- tically cuts 1t half and half.
