.EAv0RS HEAT STANDARD
FOR GAS MEASUREMENT
Bureau of Standards Bulletin Argues
Against Candlepower Distribu-
ton Method.

Heating value standards for gas are
superior for various reasons to the
candlepower standards, and cities
throughout the country are rapidly
changing from the old candlepower
method of distributing gas to the new
er method of heating value. according
to bulletin on standards Of gas serv-
Ice issued by the bureau of standards
and made public today by the Depart
ment of Commerce. The rules and reg
ulations under which gas Is served in
the states and the District of Colum-
bia are contained in the book.
while the candlepower standard for
gas is frequently in force" says the
bulletin, "it has been estimated that
except in the larger cities less than
10 per cent of the gas is employed in
open flame gas burners, where candle
power is of primary Importance to the
consumer In the last few years the
increased number of companies which
the heating value of the gas and the
general satisfaction which this method
of control has given have SO changed
the former situation that prominent
in favor of the heating value specifca-
tion.
Favors Heat Standard.
Because the gas used for heating.
cooking, mantle lighting and power
purposes is in most cases more than Is
per cent and in many cities over 80
per cent of the total consumption"
says the bulletin, the tendency is de-
cidedly toward the adoption of heat
ing-value regulations only. Candle
power measurements are more and
more being made to test the efficiency
of mantles, appliances and lighting
installations rather than to test the
quality of the gas itself.
''The time has not vet come in all
places when customers requiring open
flame candlepower in gas are negli-
gible numerically: nor has it vet been
proved that the manufacture of non
luminous gas is most economical or
desirable. 1t may be desired, there
fore, to retain in city ordinances a
minimum candlepower requirement as
a secondary standard in addition to
the more important heating-value
standard.
I'm cities where a candlepower re-
quirement is now in force 1t may be
desired to constitute heating-value
requirement. but if this is done the
requirement should be fixed so that
the customers will receive the same
amount of heat under the new condi-
ton. or consideration should be given
to the fairness of a lower price for
the new (poorer) quality of gas"
The bureau of standards does not
recommend a so-called double stand

WASHINGTON, February 9.-Reply,
ing to Professor Vonnach Of Harvard
former President Taft writes that a
government embargo on the expectation
Of arms and ammunition to the coun

If we were ever invaded by a fully

found unprepared at the start, he says
and the nations to whom we now re,
