Let's Start Thinking About Gas
BY EARL GOODWIN.
Is 1t Necessary High Priced Gas? And Did We
Suffer Enough Last Winter to Have Little Rebate Nowl

Here two suggestions thrown out in the hope that
you viii Gull them in your mind and perhaps take them
your citizens association the Board of Trade the
Chamber of Commerce.
They have to do with gas Washington submitted very
gracefully to the recent order of the Utilities Commission
permitting increase in the price of gas to the consumer
but it might do us good if all started thinking
about the quality of gas and also whether not got all
paid for during that very cold spell last winter
For years the only standard by which gas measured
was the candlepower That was done away with when
took Utilities Commission and measure the
quality of gas by what is known the British Thermal
Unit 1t is measurement of the heating quality Of the
gas The gas expert of the Utilities Commission makes
daily tests to how much lighted gas it takes to heat
pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit.
His reports show that the Washington gas comes up
the requirements No complaint there.
Now the question want to start is whether not the
present standard is not too high! Whether it much too
high little too high don't know. But it possible
that if the Utilities Commission did not require much
heating quality the gas makers would not have to enrich
their product much they do now and therefore, the
cost would be less and perhaps would be getting gas
cheaper Of course far lighting is concerned
the ncandeseent mantle and get much better results at
less cost than if try to the straight gas flame
Suggestion No 2 is this:
The law allows the Public Utilities Commission to fine
public utilities when they fail to keep up to standard
Now in December and January of this year the gas
Of the freeze because of the freight JAM and by general
hard luck The gas fell off in quality because the enrchng
oil did not reach here, being held up in the freight diff
culties.
The Utilities Commission did NOT fine the companies
because figured would have been unjust to impose pen
aes for failures which the companies had control
But look here's The failures produced by the Of
oil allowed the companies to produce gas at LOWER cost

Congressman Baer young farmer and cartOOnist from

The farmer hiring his men, with all the risk of bad

And while Government has thousands of millions Mr.
Baer says with which to finance big corporations that

her brain is the organ above which
she pins her hat.
The mummihed woman seldom
cares about children-if she did
they would keep away that slow
drying-up process. Usually she
lives in a nat which reduces her
Homework to q minimum.
And her family consists Of q
couple Of plants, a Victrola, and a
canary. sometimes the canary is
varied by a dog. More often than
not, there is q mummifed husband
in the background, and he too has
his dry-as-dust little interests.
Now the great world war has
laid its grip on that family, and
shaken them out Of that slow pro-
cess Of evaporation that was desic-

her as part of the hat furniture,

or the steam heat pipes that kept
the place warm, because she saw

They might have gone on like
this for years, but one day she
heard a patriotic speech that stir

got that Government job.
This gave her husband a terrific

A Vital Interest In Life Will Keep You Young

How old are you?" might have
been the title Of an amusing COM
edy, enacted at the special Con-
gressional election, in New York a
couple Of weeks ago, when women
voted.
This inquiry was put to a tall,
slim, boyish looking woman-one
Of the keen, live wire type. With
out a moments hesitation she an
swered: "Forty-nine."
No Occasion for JOeuIaritJ.
She was informed this was no
occasion for POPULARITY, and serious
consequences might ensue il she
persisted in Incorporating. The
lady with an air OF Il expected
this" opened her handbag and pro-
duced a marriage license, setting
forth that she had been married
twenty-eight years and that she
was twenty-one at the time Of the
ceremony.
The men looked foolish and the
slender one, with an air OF having
insured herself against mascu-
line stupidity, went on with her
business Of citizenship and de-
parted.
Another woman with a triple
chin, shortness Of breath, and a
general air OF limpness who had
got wind of the comedy nearly
contracted apoplexy in running
down the girlish forty-niner. How

And the lady who had held the
clock back twenty years, answer
