VIOLIN RECITAL

A very pleasing entertainment was
given by Professor Young at the
Presbyterian church Tuesday night
under the auspices of the Senior class
with his violin. Harold Miller, pres
ident of the class introduced him as q
graduate of Oklahoma University and
a violinist of wide reputation. His
selections were suited to great
range of tastes. Classical music, Bo-
hemian folk songs and the imitation
of bird cries made up the evening
program. The audiences apprecla-
ton OF his rendition Of "Traumel-
rel" was expressed by long continued
applause.
Previous to the music, Mics Geor-
gia Castleberry, member OF the
High Schuol Faculty, gave reading
and held her audience In sympathy
with the old musician who 80 loved
his violin, his "Oremona" that he
died OF hunger rather than part with
his beloved instrument.

WILL THIS LOWER
YOUR GAS BILL?
Some of Mayor Lapham's Sug-
gestions Regarding the Use
of Natural Gas.

In this article we give briet
description of the constructor OF
the gas meter such a. is used In
Chanute, and also some instructions
as to how 10 read meter.
The first suggestion that we make
is that you learn how to read your
own meier ard occasionlly check
your readings with the meter
readers slip and with that shown
on your bits.
The meter will record only wien
gas ass; 5 through it.
Ii the smallest dial hand moves
when you are not using the gas
anywhere you may rest assured that
YOU have a leak in the house piping
or around the valves or fittings.
d. No. look for a leak with a
lighted candle or match; upon
6rst discovery of a leak, if not
certain as to its size, open doors
and windows and send for some
good reliable gas filter or plumber.
A le sk in house piting can be
temporarily stopped by covering
the opeaing~wi.h soap aud band =
age.
Keep the damper in the stove
pipe partially closed, according to
the amount of fite in the stove.
Natural gas does not re tqure such
great amount Of draf', but that
which il does. require must be
perfect
Toe proper color cs fame in
stoves is blue body tinged " h red,
Our fxp' rience teaches rs that IN
a. great manv cases high DilIs are
due to the fact that the air mixers
On, Nse kitchen stow have been
closed or are filled with dust or dirt
so that the gas does not get suth-
cient air mixed with 1t before it
reaches the burner, to- produce
proper combusuoa. A yellow
eipped A lime or the'pots and pans
when placed directly over hre
blackening any, will inform you
that you are not obtaining the re-
suits you should ob'a'n with the
same amount of gas, were 1t
properly burned.
The ordinary light consum es very
little gas, if properly adjusted; in
order to get the best light it must
be adjusted so that the proper
amount of air is mixed with the gas
before it burns. Occasionally the
pressure On the street mains changes
and in order to get satisfactory
light the little gas regulating valve
on the burner itself must be
changed, either to let in more gas
II the pressure has lowered or 70 re-
tard some of it if the pressure has
increased. Some of US go without
the proper light in cold weather on
account of not adjusting the burners
to the conditions which may exist.
The air mixers on the burner are
left op:n all the timeAand' should be
kept that way and be~free from any
dust or dirt,
We advise that if you use the gas
for fuel that you have some coal oil
wood on hand to fall back upon
should there be some interruption
TN the service. We'expect to have
plenty of gas this winter, but the
service is interrupted unavoidably
sometimes.
Last winter the service was better
than In the past; at the same time
some interruptions did occur, thai
seemed almost unavoidable.

Only one advertisement was published. Saturday mornings Age-Her- aid was the medium and it brought the crowd. We are constantly getting new paints and new shades and colors, espe- cially in the household paints.
