WIDE VARIANCE
IN GAS PRICES
u. S. Survey Shows Prices
Range From 10 Cents a Gal
lon to ~ Cents

Washington D. c., Dec. IT,
Gasoline prices in the United States
range all the way from 10 cents a
gallon to q cents for straight run
and from IL cents gallon to 20
cents for high test gas.
This wide variation in the price
of gasoline throughout the country
was revealed in a check-up by $50
motor clubs affiliated with the
American Auton obilc Association
and reported to national headquar-
ters here.
The check-up by the national mo-
toring body showed that on Novem-
Der %, gasoline was selling at AZ
different prices.
In order to secure an accurate
picture of the gasoline price range
on a given day. identical forms were
sent to every A. A. A. club through
out the country; the local clubs in
turn checked the prices in their re-
spectivc areas and returned the
forms to Washington.
The lowest price on the date of
the check-up was 10 cents for
straight run and Is cents for high
test gasoline, at Peoria. ILL.,, and the
highest was q cents for straight
run and 20 cents for high test, at
Phoenix, Arizona.
Proximity to sources of supply
appeared to be negligible factor
in determining current prices, says
the A. A. A. since prices were in
many instances, higher close to the
oil fields than they were at points
to which long haul was necessary.
Prices at tidewater were on the
whole higher than those charged at
inland points.
The average price at points along
the Atlantic Seaboard on November
%, the date of the nation wide
check-up, was % cents gallon.
The average price in the Mississippi
pi Valley region was - cents GAL
lon. The average price on the Pa
cific Coast was 20 cents a gallon. !
One Of the most striking features
Of the A. A. A. survey is it's dis
closure of the rapidity with which
prices change within small areas
where basic conditions such as rent
ais, supply and demand arc the
same days the A. A. A. statement: |
ION the West Coast of Florida, |
for instance, there was a range Of |
prices varying five cents in a dis
lance of 30 miles. Gasoline sold for |
18 cents in Tampa, 20 cents in Plant |
City, II miles away, and for % |
cents at Lakeland, II miles from
Plant City. Another instance, in
Indiana, disclosed that straight run
gasoline sold for 1913 cents and high
test gasoline for 1913 cents, at Col
umbus, while it sold for 1873 and
1873 respectively, at Edinburg and
Franklin, ten and twenty miles
away.
The widest price range was in
Illinois where the price of gas
RANGED from 10 cents gallon to
10 1-2 cents for straight run gaso-
line and from IL to % cents q gall
Ion for high test. Illinois has a two
cent gasoline tax and in this, as
well as in other states where the
price fluctuated widely from city to
city and town to town. it was shown
that the tax is negligible as factor
in the wide fluctuation of prices.

tending the annual Boys and Girls
Club Achievement Institute, which

This was the report of H. f. Rill-
ing, state club leader, and Lee Fer

the newly elected president of the

1--WE who have been long in club
work are used to enthusiastic re-
sponses from the boys and girls
when they see their work appreciat-
ed" said Mr.. Killing. But the
wonderful support that was given
to our livestock sale yesterday
brought an outburst Of expressions
Of qualification from the boys and
girls which surpassed anything ]

Gus organizatins who bought that
livestock yesterday at such splendid

Davis May Take Part
in Army-Navy Break

New York, Dec. 17.-Pl-Al-
though expressing the hope that the
naval and military academies may
themselves settle their present ath-
letic differences, Secretary of War
Davis today indicated, in a state
ment issued through the army in
formation service. that he might
take action in the situation later.
While refraining "from any ex-
preston until he knows more fully
the reason why the Naval Academy
desires to depart from its existing
contract" Secretary Davis pointed
to the terms of the contract, which
has three more years to run and
contains no provisions limiting the
eligibility of athletes.
