P l Washington, Jan. 25.?Gasoline i production costs, showing that retail prices are from seven to ten cents above the refining cost were made public today by the federal trade commission after an investigation directed by Victor Murdock.

The highest production cost was in New Jeresy and eastern territory I amounting to 17.642 cents while the New York retail price was 26 cents. Other figures given were gulf coast i 15.4682; Chicago retail price,' 21 cents. r The commission said it used the ^ market price of crude oil in computF in the refining cost. ^ East Wind Complexion.

The flight of- 2,000 miles was made without mishap. The feat was accomplished by a biplane with two 270 horse power engines, carrying two pilots, an en?inppr and two mechanics. O *?* "Loading up at Hendon," said Mr. Page, "the machine, which with spares and luggage, was over six tons in weight, proceeded to Paris, Lyons and, to avoid the Alps, continued by way of Marseilles. From Marseilles the journey was by way of Spezzia to Pisa, Rome, Naples and Otranto, the last point over a friendly country. The next and perhaps the most difficult stage of the journey was over the Albanian Alps to Saloniki, a trip of 250 miles accross mountains varying from 8,000 to 10,000 feet, with no suitable place for landing in case of need. In covering this distance two stops were made, the first at Paris and the Seconal at Pisa. "From Saloniki the adventurous party flew to their base, overhauled the machine and prepared for a long distance bombing expedition to Constantinople, a distance of 320 miles. , "On their attacking trip they set forth with 16 bombs and on arriving at the sea of Marmora throttled down from 2,000 to 1,600 feet, the Golden Horn and other points being clearly in view. "After a short survey of the lights of Constantinople and to make sure of their objectives, they came down to 800 feet and dropped a salvo of four bombs, hoping to hit the Goeben which was anchored just beneatfh them. Unfortunately they missed the ship, but managed to hit one or two submarines that were lying alongside her. "Turning on their track, they made another attempt on the Goeben, nd this time in spite of the attentions of a number of Turkish and German anti-aircraft guns, managed to land four bombs on the battleship. Then they flew to a ship called the General, which was the headquarters of the German staff and dropped two bombs on her. Next they made their way to the Turkish war office and dropped two more bombs on that building, the Turkish official report of the incident stating that 'the war office was not destroyed.' "After half an hour's bombing on Constantinople they turned round and made for their base. One of their engines was disabled and no fewer than 26 bullet holes were made in their machine. The journey to Constantinople and back, a distance of 640 miles, occupied seven hours. They were 30 hours in the air on the flight from London to Constantinople." A Hard Life. A farmer living in Iowa, returning home one evening from a rural banquet, dropped lazily into a chair and addressed his wife as follows: "I am all tired out. Are the cows all in the barn?" "Yes, Henry." "Horses all fed and bedded down?" he asked as he produced a cigar with a gilt band around it. "Yes, Henry." "Chickens aren't locked up, though are they?" "Yes, Henry; long ago." "Wood chopped for morning?" "Yes." "Ducks picked and wagon wheel mended for tomorrow's market?" "Yes, Henry." The farmer lighted the cigar, yawning and said: "Well, then, just hand me the farm paper and draw me a jug of cider, Mary. I'll turn in soon. Farming's beginning to tell on me."?Denver News. Just for Pastime. Slocombe Pogis is not a gay place and the commercial traveler was hard put to it to discover some means of whiling away the evening. In the bar of the only hotel he entered into conversation with its solitary occupant, a railway porter. "Anything going on here just now?" he asked. "Picture palace, lecture, political meeting or anything amusing?' The porter stroked his chin reflectively. "Well?er?no; nothing o' that kind. But?Ah, now I come to think of it, we're loading a freight train this evening down at the station at about 10 o'clock, if you care to come and look on!"?Judge. The Italian wheat crop for 1917 was 30 per cent, below the average. Not Patriotic, Says ( rum. Unanimous consent was asked yesterday in the house to take up out of its regular order the bill creating the State council of defense. Objection was immediately entered by Mr. Hemphill, of Chester, and Mr. Duncan, of Union. Mr. Crum emphasized that this was the first war measure to come before the house and made an earnest plea for its consideration. Objection was again entered, when Mr. Crum retorted: "This is the first war measure to come before this house and I think it's a distinctly unpatriotic act to enter objection."?The State.
