The pro posed site is where the Henrietta now stands, this Jot and one adjoining be in the property of the association.

For a number of years a home has been established and a lunch room has been operated on Church street which has been very successful. Home Too Small. For some time the officers and members have felt that the home now occupied is too small and that it is not adequately equipped for all the activities the officers desire to have as part of the regular urogram for the association. The matter was discuss ed at some length this morning by the directors and they have hopes that the trustees will aRree with them that the plan is practicable. During the month of February, which is the jubilee period, a number of events will be carried out at the Henrietta, attractive program of va rious kinds being in prospect. Owing to the present lack of facili ties for carrying on association work the Y. W. C. A. gymnasium classes are conducted at the gymnasium of the Asheville school for Girls. At the Henrietta rooms are rented to young women and religious services are held there regularly. Miss Grace Miller Is secretary of the Asheville association. Besides of being of Incalculable help to young women resident here the organization deos important work in supplying In formation and help of various kinds to those who visit the city.

The prUes for wearing th. tckst roatumes wei won by Mr Xiarolq Clark and Mlaa 11a Reeves, Asheville motorists are being eon fronted with the high cost of motor ing as well as the high cost of living, for today gasoline is quoted In -his city at 25 cents a gallon, an increase of one cent over the past few days and all indications point to still high er increases in the prices. . It is believed that the advance n prices will continue as long as the war lasts and Just how high the prices will go no one seems to be abre to even guess. l rcqucnt Explanation. The most frequent explanation heard to nccound for the advance in that of the demand for export which has become something positively as tonishing. The use of gasoline for mo tor trains by the belligerent nations, for aeroplane service and even in this country, -for automobiles and other machines utilizing it has been some thing that is staggering to the Im agination. At the same time the output of the well of the well known Cushing fields has decreased about 60 per cent. The combination of these two influences has been to send the current prices soaring, the market having now ad vanced almost: 100 per cent durjng the past 12 months. This was done too In the fa"e of what was supposed to he n nnvcpmnllli infuvtltr.jtinn lrrt thn price or tne commodity, vt netner mis was done or not matters little for there has never been any investiga tion that could alter the law of sup ply and demand and that has been what the gasoline 'industry has been up against. '. : . As to the Future. An oil expert, of independent lean ings, in discussing the situation yes terday had the following to say with reference to the probable trend of the future in the way of prices. He sees little encouragement to those who hope for lower prices for the import ant commodity. Said he: "There are various things which might reduce the price of gasoline temporarily, but it is probable that the tendency of gasoline will be to mount higher and higher until the world's supply of it is exhausted. "A sudden ending of the war, for instance, would put a stop to the ex traordinary demand for it by the al lies and would at the same time open the market again to competition by the wells in Gallcia, Russia and Rou mania. That would cause a quick drop In the price of gasoline, but in time It would recover. "The striking of more big gushers would obviously affect the market, which was depressed two years by the opening of the Cushing wells, whose output is now rapidly declining. Hun dreds and hundreds of new wells are beinn bored, it is doubtful, though, if the new wells will da more than make up for the gradual decrease In pro duction by the old wells. Still the vast amount of boring for oil nov going on is likely within a few months to produce some results sufficient to check for some time the rate of in crease in the price of gasollr.e. The Rltt ma n Process. "If the Rittman process or some other process makes it possible to ex tract a much greater amount of gas oline from crude oil. the price may go down for a time. We have great hope that the Rittman process will have the success that Is claimed for It.- j ne two iiinaamentui ractors arc the vast increase in the consumption of gasoline by automobiles and the fact that the amount of crude oil in the earth Is limited. "As for the statement of the United States Geological survey that the out put of gasoline in 114 was retarded as far as was practicable, and that more crime oil was Held in reserve stocks than ever before, there Is some truth in It, because In the early part of last year the supply of crude o'l seemed to be greater than the Je mand for gasoline contained In it. The refineries were not wnrklnr . I their full capacity, and crude oil was lielng stored. An effort was made In Oklahoma to compel the refineries by legislative action to refine the crude oil as fast ss It was produced. Thst situation was changed sharply In mid summer by the falling off In produc tion of some of the big wells, by the Increasing demand both at home and abroad, and by the realization that there was a definite limit to the amount of available crude oil within the earth." In this connection It may be worth while to state that a Rittman pro cess fsctory for the refining of crude oil so as to obtain a greater percent age of gasoline has been Installed at the mid-west plant In Wyoming. This Is different from the unit Instailedaat the Aetna plant at Tlttaburgh and crude oil refiners are very optimistic as to the results that will be accom plished.

Winston-Salem, Jan. 12. Tom Dowd, alias Tom Price, who is al leged to be the head of a gang of yeggmen that have been cracking and blowing safes in this state and South Carolina and who is charged, together with Grady Koontz, now in jail here, and several With being implicated in the robbery of the Mneksville postoffice last year, spent part of .Monday in the city lock-up en route from Winchester, Va., to Greensboro where he Will be lodged in jail before being tried in the Unit ed States court at Statesville on sev eral charges. Dowd, or Price, who gave his ag:e as 63 years, is an Interesting talker. When seen this afternoon In his cell, he was pulling on a short-stemmed briar and pacing to and fro across the cell. He said that was ar rested at the home of his wife's peo ple five miles out of Winchester, Va., three weeks ago. He had gone there to spend Christmas and had only been there one hour, when eight men came to arrest him. "F.lght men," he said, "to arrest an old man like me." He said that ho wns married about January 3, lSir., in the court house here. Tills is true. The records were looked up and it was found that Thomas Price. 57 years of age, of Roanoke, Va., was married to Miss Viola Cameron, aged 47, of Roanoke. The marriage wns performed by jus tice of the Peace J. C. Ressent. Asked if he knew what the charges r.giinst him were, he replied that there were so many that he could not keep account of them. He had a list in his pocket containing a num ber of towns and cities In which rob beries of one kind or another had occurred. The list was examined and it was found that among the towns were Xorth Charlotte, HUlsboro, Asheville. Kannapolls and others. The prisoner did not seem to be the least bit worried over his predica ment. Ho asked the newspaper men the name of a prominent criminal lawyer and after a few minutes of thinking asked that A. F.. Holton. who is in Fort Smith, Ark., be sent to him. "He seems to be the man I went," said Mr. Dowd. SUIT IS The attorneys In the case of Ram Csthey sgslnst the Norfolk and West ern Railway company have complet ed the details of compromise and this case Is thus removed from the United States court calendar. Cathey asked for $75,000 for the loss of his eyes In an explosion of dynamite. It Is understood that by the terms of the settlement th plaintiff received $4,609. Financial NEW YORK COTTOtf.

From his hiding place he watched his companions be ing stripped by bandits. They then ordered them to march towards the west. Holmes descended from the train and escaped In the darkness. "In a few minutes he heard shrieks immediately followed by a fusillade of shots from the direction taken by the Americans and their captors." The Americans, it was saK were sent to re-open the mines on assur ances of protection to the smelting companl given by the Carranza gov ernment through the United States state department. A Verified list of American mining men in Chihuahua City was prepared here from records of Mexican pass ports issued. This list contained eighteen names. The list follows: IC. R.
