have of late years been growing in char
| my in the desire TO take all men into
our sense of the human being and his re-
lation to conditions and the situations
of the day; to contribute less to indiv-
idual malice or individual greed, or in
dividual vindictiveness; those whom we
have felt strongly against we now wish
to win or bring over. And we see some
thing of the effects of this desire and
this feeling in to-day's life, both bust
ness life and political life. We see great
business men affected by the aroused
sense of the people that this country
must be made better place to live in.
That it is not only humane, but it is
wise to have wider disposition of the
good things of life. We see in politics
far larger number coming into active in
terest and making active expression con-
corning the policies Of problems, and
leaders taking people more into their
confidence. 1t has become a more open
game. All this sharing with the large
number Of people the ideas that we used
to think Were limited to few, has
changed the journalistic aspect. We have
to say things in different terms, we have
to make allowances for the human ele-
ments, for the appreciation by indiyid
ual of principles and ideas that we did
not use to have.
Therefore, think our journalism has
become kinder, more just and / may say
more effective"

GREATEST GAS PRODUCER.
West Virginia Has Output in 1911 Of
More Than 200 Billion Cubic Feet.

West Virginia is the greatest producer
of natural gas in the United States. She
produced in 1911 twice as much as any
other state and two-fifths of the total
output for the whole country.
According to the United States geo
logical survey, the state prod in 1911
the nermous quantity of BOT ll2.57600O
cubic feet of gas, valued at S2S,45l;907
the enormous quantity of 2o7ll2.576,O0o
feet, valued at $23sl6,553. in 1910
Natural gas accompanies the oil in the
wells of West Virginia even more regu-
larry than in Pennsylvania and the
sands yielding gas without oil are more
extensive so that while the state con-
sumed S0,SGS, 645,0 600 cubic feet of gas
in 1911, it also exported a large quantity
to Pennsylvania, to the lake shore in
Ohio, to Maryland, and to Kentucky. IN
order to supply the necessary quantity
for Pittsburg, the gas is pumped through
the lines at an average rate of AZ miles
an hour, and occasionally at as great a
speed as mile minute.
Drilling was active throughout the
state in 1911, resulting in the compile
tion of $40 productive gas wells out of
total of 9S7 wells drilled, the number
of gas wells at the close of the year
being 4,755 as compared with 4052 wells
at the beginning of the year. Fifteen
years ago there were $40 natural gas
wells in the state and the value of the
output was less than Sl,0O0,000.
The quantity and value of the gas con-
sumed in West Virginia in 1911 amount
ed to S0S6S ,645 900 cubic feet, valued at
$6,240,l52, an average price of 7.72 cents
per thousand cubic feet. of the total
consumption in 1911, a larger proportion
was consumed for industrial than for
domestic purposes. The quantity of gas
consumed in manufacturing was 50,l30,-
046,000 cubic feet.
One of the industries which is almost
entirely confined to this state is the man
ufacture of carbon black, for which large
quantities of gas are required and to
which the gas is well adapted. 1t is
estimated that during the year 1911 to-
tai of 1877 ,265 900 cubic feet of gas
was used by the carbon black factories
of West Virginia. The value of this
gas was $544,S56, an average of about
three cents per thousand cubic feet

MAGAZINE REVIEW
The Chatting Dish not Modern Inven-
ton,

Fannie Merritt Farmer. cookery edi-
tor OF the Woman's Home Companion
publishes fifteen new chatting dish reel
pes in the November number of that
periodical, and writes as follows about
the history Of the chatting dish:
1.-THE chatting dish is not a utensil OF
modern invention Looking backward
over history's pages, many illusions are
made to its use. Among the ruins of
pompeii have been found bronze chatting
dishes of unique designs. and Mommsen,
in his 'Romische Geschiehte, asserts that
in those days well wrought cooking
machine cane to cost more than an es-
tate. Louis XIV took much delight in
cooking, and, according to Goncourt. Of
ten amused himself by making 'quin-
Essential stews in silver pans The pal
ate Of Louis XVI was often tickled by
piping hot dishes, broguht in on a chat
ing dish Napoleon Bonaparte, when
laying down the affairs of war and en-
joying home life for a short period
cooked in silver chatting dish an omelet
for the enjoyment Of the Empress and
himself. Madame Recamier, the beauti-
full and intellectual society leader, used
the chatting dish while Madame de Stael,
the greatest woman in literary history,
when exiled from her beloved France,
took with her the chatting dish. We of
to-day are doing much to keep alive the
true spirit of hospitality by bringing the
chatting dish into popular use"

from wider experience and fuller
knowledge ! can now say to you never
theless that it is strongly my opinion
and my conviction that the small-town
girl has, as rule, far more opportuni-
ties and far more chances for success
in life than the girl brought up in the
city.
4Just what are these chances? Most
Of them may in general way be in
clnded in those two main opportunities
which are to be found in most small
towns; namely, greater leisure for inn
provement and culture, and greater free
dom to develop along original lines
"The average city girl is poor in time;
the average town girl is rich in it, Life
in a great city. even to the girl who
is not self-supporting, is a good deal Of
a strain. The variety of interests, the
contact with many lives the mere
sights and sounds continually playing
upon the nerves and the attention are
in themselves absorbing of strength.
at is a distinct advantage to be with
in reach of good music, yes; within
walking distance of great museums, yes;
and TO live near a great library, yes, by
all means; but it is not the average
city girl who has time and opportunity
to take advantage of these things in
the manner in which the smallt town or
country girl imagines herself enjoying
them.
"The main advantage of the country
and smalI-town girl over the city girl is
her greater freedom to develop character
and personality along well-chosen and
original lines. Personality and character
develop not so much in crowded as in
roomy places

Boost for Telephone Girls.

If man is really looking for a wife
instead of society butterfly. an heir
ess or a chorus girl, we heartily recon-
mend for his consideration a telephone
girl. For even temper. patience. prompt
ness and meekness, telephone girls have
the world beaten. They are girls with
practical ideas and common sense; they
are girls who. will help YOU save your
money and make you an all-around
housewife. We have never seen one that
wasn't neat and clean. and they would
very probably be the most orderly house
keepers YOU could get. And one Of their
great virtues is their ability 20 control
their tongues. They are accustomed to
being quarreled az and bemeanei. yet
they are not moved to an outburst there
BY We know they are sometimes i'm
posed upon and are seldom rated at their
true worth. II you are in need Of = good

Many Cakes from One Recipe.

/ Tn these days when the cost of food

Many families have had to dispense
with cake except for special occasions,
owing to the price of eggs and butter.
The old fashioned cakes required too
generous quantities of both, and there
has been weeping and wailing since
mother found it necessary to cut out the
