work Of the home. Gas companies are re-
alizing that TO a large extent the con-
sumption OF gas rests with the women.
and especial efforts are being put forth to
interest the women In towns where gas Is
comparatively a new thing. In a small
town In the middle west. where the gas
company recently became organized I'M
der new management. one OF the FIRST ef-
forts of the men in charge was TO secure
the cooperation of the superintendent OF
schools in the establishment Of q domestic
science class for the girls above the fifth
grade The gas company provided room
and paid a teacher and each day in the
week different class OF girls was given
instruction in cooking upon a model gas
range.
Many gas companies now cooperate
with the domestic science classes OF the
women's clubs to the advantage OF both.
The gas companies will furnish q cooking
teacher and the necessary appliances and
In return the women will endeavor to
utilize gas as fuel wherever possible The
Introduction OF paper bag cooking as q
part of the demonstration OF gas ranges
has been one Of the new ideas put into
effect by number OF progressive gas
corporations in different parts OF the
country.
The rivalry between gas and electricity
is keener in some places than others, but
as yet the cost
Relative Cost of electric appli-
of Two Product. ironin. go ~"
like is higher than for the same appli-
ances designed for use with gas, even
when the cost of electricity and gas seems
about equal. It Is estimated that the rela-
tive cost of gas and electricity Is about
equal when gas is sold at 81 per thousand
feet and electricity at 10 cents per kiloJ
watt.
According to some experiments recently
conducted by gas companies II took about
3k cents worth OF electricity to boil .
six pint kettle of water compared with
less than half a cents worth of gas. A
light laundry iron, five pounds in weight.
takes $50 watts per hour at cost Of 3h
cents. while a gas iron, Weighing seven
and half pounds, could be used an hour
with five cubic feet of gas, costing just
8 mills. or half a cent. A small simmer
ing hot plate takes $50 watts an hour.
costing 1.S cents. and q gas burner giving
the same heating power costs half cent
an hour. But the electric experts may
have a different tale to tell.

PARIS. April 1, 1914
The National Theater Of the Roads. on
which M. Gemier had built such high
hopes last year. has come to a melan-
choly end. This theater. which was
created at great expense last spring, con-
sisted Of numerous motor vans. which
carried q complete stage for theatrical
company OF eighty members, all the red
uiste scenery to give the best classic
and modern plays and material for
tent which, when set up, could shelter
an audience of more than 1000 persons.
It was the greatest travelling theAter that
had ever been gotten up. and the cost OF
road locomotives drew the heavy mate
rails, and a number Of motor vans were
fitted up as drawing saloons for actors
and actresses.
These and the numerous accessories
have now all been sold at public auction
at Aubervillieres, and the cars. which
cost from $4,000 to 5000. barely fetched
81 800 or 81, 800.
NJ Gemier had hoped to visit every
town and village OF France. and to travel
with his company to foreign countries.
and perhaps even across the seas. but
one season in France sufficed to show
him the hopelessness Of the undertaking.
The audiences in many OF the towns were
too small to pay the huge. expenses or
the show.
New Singer Found.
A new singer has been found in Paris
by Oscar Hammerstein. She is a Nine.
Augusta Doria, who is great operatic
favorite with French audiences. Nine.
.Doria can sing with equal facility in
English. French. Italian and German. and
when she appears In London during the
forthcoming season the opera will be III
Trovatore."
M. de Freycinet. who has been many
times prime minister. minister OF for
eign affairs and minister OF war. 10 the
first eminent French statesman to accept
the simple medal of a soldier at the age
of eighty-four. Parliament voted q law
last year comforting a special commence
rative medal on all the combatants OF
1901, or those who in any way took
an active part in the campaign. NJ. de
Freycinet was forty-two at the time OF
the war, and acted as delegate Of the
government OF the national defense at

From the beginning Of the gas indus

ured by candle
Contrast Of power. and only re-
Heat and Light. oen,t,on mas 81. ~" . re
en- Of its caloric value When gas was Of
the simple type and was used only for
illumination as a luminous flame a great
deal Of time and money was wasted in
trying to determine what is candle
power" With the multiplication of the
types of gas. the multiplication of its
uses and the almost total abandonment
of the simple flame. the candlepower
measurement is a thing Of the past with
the gas manufacturers themselves. al
though 1t is still used to convey measures
of efficiency to the public.
One OF the matters now most important
Is the heating power. and several instru-
gas have recently been perfected. It was
formerly supposed that the higher the
candlepower the greater the heat, but
this idea has been proved to be errone-
and low candlepower. and others have
great illuminating value. but give unsat-
isfactory heat results. It is now gener-
ally conceded that heat unit value Is q
better gauge than anything else. It Is the
heat power that is wanted In the COOK
stove, and 1t Is also the heat that Is
wanted in the mantle burner because 1t Is
the heat generated in contact with the
hlament which makes the hight, so that
more light Is produced out Of q high heat
value than q low one. There are several
cities in the United States which have
recognized this to the extent Of fixing by
ordinance the heat requirement Of gas
