Gin. and Electricity for Cooking.

Mrs. j. NJ. T.. Rcnmond.-It is Diff
cult to make any comparison OF the
merits of gas aud electricity for cook
ing purposes. except by practical tests.
When considered from a heat unit ba sis
alone, gas is far superior TO electricity.
1000 feet OF gas at atmospheric pres
sure being equivalent TO approx mately
225 X. W. II. Tie economy Of cooking
with electricity Is due entirely to the
method in which the heat can be ap-
piled In gas ranges It Is necessary
that a large volume Of air be fed with
gas in order to sustain combustion. and
this circulation OF air greatly reduccs
the effective heating value of the gas
etc, can be made airtight So that ali
the heat supplied from the heating ele-
ment has its maximum effect on tho
article being cooked. Cooking with a
modern electric range with a current
at two and one-half per k. ". H. ia
equivalent to gas at approximately 58
cents per 1000 feet.

Cullop. Leonard. Harry Harper and

Against the Red Sox ! picked the
same pitchers with the exception OF
Ruth and Leonard, adding Russell and
Danforth.
In these 20 games the Red Sox have
shown better against southpaws thar
the White Sox, the former making n
average of IL runs and eight hits per
game and the latter runs and seven
hits
But the games showed that while
the White' Sox had improved their
average by three big games of eigh,
runs or over, they were shut out four
times and collected two runs or less
on seven other occasians The Re1
Sox average IN the 20 games was more
consistent, the majority of their games
running around fou' runs with only
one shutout and but four games under
two runs.
This indicates that the Red Sox
would fare better than the White Sox
in the world series against McGraw's
