HOW TO CONSERVE GAS
Housewives Are Cautioned Not
to Attempt to Heat All
Rooms At Once.

A suggestion regarding relief in
the present, gas shortage and cold
weather was made yesterday by J..
Burr Gibbons. chairman OF the
Tulsa county board of the United
States fuel administration Mr..
Gibbons statement is as follows:
During the existing cold spell and
fuel shortage the residents of Tulsa
must make the best OF a serious sit
uation and use every means Of bet
tering their own conditions.
Inquiries made by the fuel board
Of more than $50 people who called
closed the fact that nearly every
housewife is attempting to burn
every stove in the house.
II is far better to have two or
three rooms comfortably warm than
to have the entire house cold. House.
wives should not attempt to keep
warm the rooms that are not in
constant use. BY shutting off part
of the house the>housewife can ma
terially aid the gas company in
handling a difficult situation and
thereby help herself 4
INVESTIGATIONS show that the gas
supply for Tulsa is approximately
100000 cubic feet short of the
demand and the discontinuance of
one fire in each home in the city
will enable housewives to keep a
part of the home comfortably warm
and will permit factories and other
places Of business to operate.
There are practically no retail
coal dealers in Tulsa and therefore
little relief can be had from this
! fuel. Coal and wood were secured
for many persons and business
places Saturday, but these were
but very small percentage OF
those in need OF fuel
| Another Inconvenience in Tulsa. is
The fact that few houses have
/ flues built 10 accommodate wood
or coal fires and few homes, in
dustrial plants or other places of
| business are equipped with stoves
or furnaces that will burn wood,
coal or oil and. the danger OF fires
is great.
Hence, Tulsa must depend upon
the gas supply and. every effort to
conserve the gas supply is an ef-
] fort in your own behalf.
