inveirttpiilion of tho prices of gasoline
thruotit tho state. This Is the case
that was filed by the attorney-general
more thiui a ywir ago but which was
postponed more than a dozen times
thru one cause or another.
The proceeding was instituted fol-
lowing complaints received by Oov-
ernor Wllli'ims the corjointlon com-
mission und some sent directly to the
nttorney-gcnnrnl. Th;is was when
crinoline was selling at a lw price
than It Is now. When tho attorney-
general filed his cows with the cor-
poration commission he asked that a
maximum price of 17 cents a gallon
be established by the commission after
a thoro hearing.
This opened the way for the com-
mission to try Its hand at something
new fixing prices on refined products
of crude oil. Authority for doinr; this
Is prov'ded ir the conservation law
enacted by the 1915 leglslitiirc. This
action hns never been tested.
No application for continuance of
the case has been made and It Is

association to depend on the Ameri-

tnlrslon to fill this quoin and such
additional copies as might bo needed.
All of these organizations have been
swamped with demands. The I'ocket
Testament league could deliver only
half of an order for one hundred
thousand placed for July and August.
Their testaments are printed by the
Oxford I'nlversity J'ress and In Eng-

The Hlble society's presses are run-

out four hundred thousand testamrnm
since May 1. but they have still Im-
mediate orders for three hundred
thousand and one order of a million
from the Young Men's Christian as-
sociation alone.
For American Army.
Unprecedented demand and com-
plexity In production are responsline
for the short 'ire. The pocket testa-
ment Is printed on India paper and
because of Its size requires more tnan
the usual care in the folding and
binding of the delicate sheets. The
present demand of course Is chiefly

eight months for them to semi the re-

the Young Men's Christian associa-
tion is planning to ship us many as
possible from Its very meager supply
here.

Most of these will be given by the

Heads of Workroom Societies Assume
Obligations: Cash Nettled to
Purchase Supplies.
That Tulsa's Tied Cross workroom
will furnish supplies for five hundred
beds every three months Is the goal
set for themselves by the representa-
tive officers of the many societies now
sewing as units In the lied Cross
workroom. At a meeting yesterday
afternoon the winter's work was
planned inch society shouldering cer-
tain obligations which they expect to
fulfifl by the last of October.
The national organization has made
an appeal for this amount from Tulsa
and has urged as a matter of eril-
clency that all manufactured articles
supplied to hospitals be purchased on
the Atlantic coast where they can he
packed and loaded with least duplica-
tion of cost and effort.
Supplies recommenced to be pur-
chased are 1.200 pairs socks 4S0 pairs
slippers 4 SO convalescent gowns.
3.000 bed sheets 2.400 pillow slips
3.3S4 hand towels Ht.O bath towels.
It Is clearly evlderf that the pur-
chase of supplies ui such quantities
would swamp the cunh account of tho
local chapter and this chapter tnere-
fcre makes earnest appeal that
philanthropists and patriots will con-
tribute crush to a fund which will bo
used In the east to buy these articles.
It is expected that us soon us tne
many Tulsa women who are at pres-
ent out of town for the summer shall
return to their homes that the work-
room Industry will go forward with
renewed vigor and more appreciable
results.
