AMBASSADOR BACON RESIGNS
Leaves Diplomatic Service to Become
Fellow of Harvard.

Paris, Jan. 12-Robert Bacon, am
bassador of the United States at Paris
confirmed a report current that he
would resign from the diplomatic ser
vice.
Mr.. Bacon especially refrained from
making his retirement public, as he
desired the first announcement t.
come from Harvard university, where
he was nominated to be fellow in place
of Judge Lowell, deceased.
In discussing his retirement from
the diplomatic service Ambassador
Bacon said he wished his friends u
know that there were no Interior mo
tives for his resignation. He had been
interested long and earnestly in Har
ward and tor seventeen years had
been a member of the board of on ~
seers. He could not, he said, decline
the honor OF becoming a fellow OF
Harvard university, which he consid
cred to be the best single influence foI
good in America.
Mr.. Bacon added that his accept
ance of the fellowship meant his resi-
dence in America and the devotion OF
much of his time. Moreover, he vel
coined the opportunity to identify him
self actively with the great problems
of American civic and national life.

Auxiliary Heating

For heating purposes gas is relied
upon very largely to reinforce other
methods. 1t would be too expensive
to undertake the entire heating of a
house by this means; but the little
heater is quite sufficient to take the
chill off room which is to be used
only for a short time, such as a bath
room or dressing room. These gas
heating stoves are made more and
more efficient and economical in
their use of gas every year. One of
the latest forms is the Reznor, which
is so constructed as to throw the heat
dom, thus counteracting the tend
ency which hot air always has to
rise, leaving the floor, and conse-
quently the feet, cold and the head
hot.
1t is hardly necessary to speak of
the gas log, which combines beauty
with utility, giving all the delightful
effect of an open fire without any of
the trouble involved by wood or coal
and adding so materially to the COM
fort of library or sitting room when
the evenings are chilly, yet not cold
enough to light furnace, or when
the thermometer dips so low in win
ter that the ordinary heating ap-
paratus is insufficient.
Omaha daily bee., 1912-10-20
Economical Ironing

A word should be said for the gas
heated iron, connected by pipe with
burner, maintained at a constant
temperature which is just the degree
needed for pressing or ironing with
out danger of scorching. The enor-
mously increased use of this utensil
by women all over the country is
sufficient evidence that it meets a
popular demand. 1t consumes only
about two and half feet of gas an
hour, and as the cost of gas in Omaha
is $1.15 for a thousand feet, it can
readily be seen that this is not a
wasteful use of gas.
For lighting, too, gas has the great
advantage of economy as compared
with electricity; it's cost per candle
power is just about one-half. The
modern reflex burner, with proper
glassware, such as the holophane
shade, gives 100 candle power, with
a consumption of only three feet of
gas an hour. The old-fashioned
open burner gives from "a to 26 can
die power while burning five feet of

faucet throughout the house. The
opening of the faucet turns on the
gas to the heater; closing the faucet
turns off the gas. By an extremely
clever device just enough gas is used
to heat the water to a given tempera-
ture, say 130 degrees; when this
temperature is reached the gas is re-
duced or shut off entirely.
There is also a less expensive
Ruud water heater, which keeps a
constant but limited supply of hot
water on hand, from forty to eighty
gallons. This is called the Ruud
Automatic Storage Water Heater,
and no house at the present time
should be without one or the other
of these most serviceable and, in
deed, invaluable aids to comfort and
utility.

ment to the furnace which supplies
all the hot water needed during the
cold weather, but when the furnace
is allowed to go out, then the Gas
Water Heater is absolutely necessary
for comfort and efficiency.
Unquestionably the best appliance
Of this sort on the market is the

range, though not yet so universally
appreciated, is the water heater.
Builders have not yet regarded this
as essential to the completeness of a
house as the range and, therefore, it
is usually left to be installed after
ward, when the cost often proves an
obstacle. AS a matter of fact, no
house which is dependent upon gas
for cooking should be considered per-
feet without an instantaneous or cir
culating water heater. 1t is quite true
that there is usually boiler attach

The Many and indispensable Uses of Gas
Every Year Brings New Devices and Greater Economy

reath, so that all stopping, so trying
and fatiguing to the cook, is
avoided, and the preparation of a

dreaded task.
Less Expensive Than Coal
With proper and intelligent man
agement, the use of gas for cooking,
especially in small families, is less
expensive than that of coal and
wood; it is clean; it is always ready;
it requires no care when not in use;
it avoids all the troublesome modi-
fication of draughts; it is capable of
the most exact adjustment of the de-
sired degree of heat With the new

perfecting and manufacturing this
apparatus and to commercializing it.

trio light first came on the
RySTTSsI market Mr.. Edison re.
S-0 marked that in three years
the gas companies would all be in
the hands of the sheriff. That was
in 1878. Ten years later the gas
companies, which were still doing
business at profit in spite of Mr..
Edison's prophecy, brought out the
Welsbach burner, which was per-
fected in 1892. This at once estab-
lished itself as a powerful rival to
the incandescent light, and from that
time to this every advance in the
subject of electric lighting has been
met by corresponding improvement
in gas lighting. The gas arc fol-
lowed close on the heels of the cleo
trio arc; the reflex burner, with
holophane shade, is claiming many
advantages over the tungsten lamp.
And for all manner of household
utilities gas is used where electricity,
either on account of it's greater cost
or unsuitability to the desired pur-
pose, is entirely impracticable.
Great Household Economy
Never were gas companies more
prosperous than today, yet never has
there been time when gas was
cheaper or better. The price is con-
stantly falling; it's free use is one of
the great economies of the house.
hold, The coal and electric bills are
reduced to a much greater extent
than the gas bill is increased, while
every housewife realizes the enor-
nous gain in convenience and COM
fort.
One secret of the comparative and
growing cheapness of gas is the fact
that it can be stored, while electricity
cannot. Electric companies are,
therefore, forced to face the problem
of providing equipment sufficiently
powerful to provide for a very large
consumption Of current during a few
hours of the twenty-four, and to see
this costly equipment stand COM
paratiVely idle during the rest of the
time. This has been only partly
counterbalanced by the sale of cur
rent for power during the day, and
the very great cost of electrical ap-
paratus, and also of current, have so
far proved an insurmountable obsta-
Gle to its free use in the household.
The Popular Gas Range
The gas range has, of course,
grown into such universal use that it
seems scarcely necessary to mention |
it. Yet it is perhaps not realized |
how completely it has supplanted the
old coal range, and how few houses
are now built which even contem-
plate the use of coal for cooking. |
Kitchens in modern houses are fitted
with radiators or flues for heating
just like the rest of the house, and
the newer apartment houses include,
as a matter of course, a gas range in
the kitchen Just as much as a sink.
They vary in size from single
burner, with perhaps a portable oven,
to the enormous hotel ranges with
