PADS AND FASHIONS

One of the smart new touches is to match the taffeta dress with hat fac ed with the same material, trimming the top of the hat with a contrasting color.
 The small hat is a mass of budding blooms. The crown is usually dome or bowl shaped and entirely covered with flowers, half blown, or buds min gled with foliage.
 The popular taffeta suits are elabo- rately trimmed with ruchings, pleat- ings, shirrings or outings. The skirts show fullness, and the jackets are short and invariably cutaway.
 The leading features of evening gowns are bodices with the popular one-sided effects, draped skirts and heavily beaded and embroidered tun- ics ;also pannier draperies over the hips
 Hat brims show pleasing variety. Some are wide and straight, and some throw becoming shadows beneath their dropping curves. Edges are bound, piped with shirred silk or contrasting straw.

LIGHT AND HEAT IN BOTTLES. SOON
 AVAILABLE TO ALL
Government Chemist Dis
 covers a Method of Lique- flying Natural Gas
CAN BE USED ANYWHERE
Easily Tapped When Want ed - 1000, 100000 Cubic
 Feet Wasted Daily Now

Washington, April 5-Bottled light and heat for use anywhere, in any ch- mate, at a minimum cost is now pos sible through a discovery of a method of liquefying natural gas by Dr. Wal ker A. Smelling, a Government chem ist.
 The discovery paves the waysfor the commercial use Of millions of cubic feet of natural gas which goes to waste in the petroleum fields of the country.
 Dr. Smelling liquefied several hun thick glass bottle and lighted his of flee in Pittsburgh with it for several months. The cost was less than that of ordinary illuminating gas.
 The method by which the gas is con- densed into liquid form is explained in a pamphlet being distributed gen. orally through the petroleum fields by the Federal Bureau of Mines.
 The gas is forced into long coil of steel piping and then to a compres- scr. In the compressor it is subjected to 700 or 800 pounds to the square inch. When the gas is completely li- quefied in the course of several hours it is drawn off in metal or thick glass containers capable of sustaining high internal pressure. In this condition it can be shipped to any climate. All that is necessary to obtain the gas is to tap the plug of the container. According to the Government ex- perts, the commercial possibilities of the discovery are almost unlimited. '.The purest form of natural gas, ideal for lighting and heat, ois pass ing into the air as absolute waste at the rate of 1000, 100000 cubic feet a day in the various petroleum fields of the country" said pr. I. s. White. State geologist of West Virginia
 ''This waste is a national calamity
 It is brought about by uncontrolled
 gas wells, petroleum wells, giant fam
 beaux and in hundreds of other ways too numerous to mention.
 "When one realizes that the heat | ing value of 1000, 100000 cubic feet o1
 natural gas is equivalent to nearly 100000 bushel of coal, the enormity of the waste can be understood. Any discovery that will utilize uncontrolled | gas or any sort of commercial p,lr- pose, as the Smelling discovery does | will open a new and profitable field in | the petroleum industry"

BUSINESS IS ONLY FAIR
Many Of Standard Shares Neglected
at Outset of Session.
LONDON NOT A FACTOR HERE
Operations on That Account Neg
ligible and Market Is Slow
Most Of Time.

NEW DIRK. April 20.-The course Of
the stock market during today's two-hour
session suggested that 1t had not yet
emerged from the gloom and depression
OF the earlier days OF the week. Then.
too, the weekly statements of the COM
mercial agencies indicated slight retro
grade movement in some lines Of trade.
Business on the exchange was In mod
crate volume and the undertone was
rather irregular throughout. There was
the usual mixture OF gains and losses at
the outset, the latter being perhaps more
prominent by reason Of the weakness of
Bethlehem Steel common and preferred.
these having been features OF strength
on the previous day. There was also
some heaviness in Western Union, which
rose impressively the day before on news
that it had effected a working agreement
with the Marconi Company. Apropos Of
the latter, the old stock fell as sensa-
tionally today as it had risen. declining
to lyv after having been quoted less than
twenty-four hours before exactly 200
points above that price. Speculation n
this stock has been confined to a few
venturesome persons on the curb. but in
ssmuch as yesterdays transactions were
said to be for cash, it is improbable that
some genuine losses have been suffered In
the stocks gyratiOns.
