NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION
New Record Was Made in United States
in 1914.

Statistics compiled under the super
vision of j. ID. Northrop, of the United
States Geological Survey, show that the
quantity of natural gas commercially
utilized in the United States in 1914
exceeded that so utilized in any previous
year in the history of the natural gas
industry. The quantity produced, which
amounted to approximately SOL $780, 1885,.
900 cubic feet, valued at s94.ll5,524, con.
stitutes new record of production, ex.
ceeding by nearly l0,OO0,000,O00 cubic
feet, or almost per cent, the former
record. established in 1918.
Increases in output in 1914 over 1918
We're credited TO New York, Ohio, Okla
homa, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Iowa
and California, the state last named
alone recording a gal nof nearly 7000,-
100000 cubic feet. Other gas-producing
states recorded declines in output, the
greatest Of which, that Of Pennsylvania,
amounting to slightly more than 10000.

r. RHINE is for those who may in
II dulge in Injuries and buy other
furs for real utility. Not that the roy
al fur is not durable enough, but be-
cause it's creamy Wilderness makes it
impractical for the workaday world.
It is a fur for occasional wear and,
since it will last for a long time,
should be selected in shapes of muffs
and neckpieces that are always in
style. The rather large fiat rouff and
the plain straight scarf are never
passe, and therefore the safest choice
in the richest furs.
Narrow boas of ermine and small
neckpieces are really more chic than
any other finish to the pretty midwin-
ter promenade or visiting toilette.
Muffs, whether made to wear with
large or small scarfs and neckpieces,
are usually rather large. But ermine
is n of those splendid things that
look best when sparingly used. Like
diamonds that are too large, and
rich lace recklessly used, as If it were
of little account, something is lost Of
the best effects when ermine is made

No man would be likely to resist it un-

Would he himself be able to? He be-
gan to experience a cold fear-a dread
which drew a black veil over the fu-
ture; a blaeker veil than that which
had hitherto rested upon it.
But his face showed nothing. He
proceeded, with a piercing intensity
not to be withstood:
when you entered my house this
morning did you come directly to my

Yes. Bella told me just how to

%And when you saw mi indisposed-

With the force and meaning of one

The Value Of Enemies.

One of the best assets Of a news,
paper, or a public man, or a man in
business, is the sum total of the fel.
lows who advertise him by exposing
a crouch or a grudge through their
criticisms. The boosters help-and
the knockers also help without know
ing it! When you hear a man trying
to tear down a newspaper you imme-
diately get that newspaper onto and
into your mind, don't you? Never try
to silence the knockers-they are your
helpers whom you do not have to bur-
den your payroll with. Better put the
knockers IN your payroll than let
them quit! Jewell Mayes in the Rich
