Gas Consumers Warned

During the last week the Philadel-
phia papers had advertisements with
'scare-heads" warning gas consumers
not to leave jets lighted unless some
one was around to watch them, not to
leave any burning all night and other
advice on that line. The reason given
for this was that the scarcity of coal
made it hard work to keep the supply
of gas up to the required standard and
that jets might be extinguished by the
pressure going down and then when it
resumed it's normal condition the gas
would flow through the open jet. The
advice given was and is good. Great
care should be taken in using gas.
We had an instance of that last week
when two women came near to suffo-
cation.
1t seems to be the light pressure that
is response ole now. Not long ago con-
sumers we're complaining about the
increase in their bills because of heavy
pressure and the forcing through meters
gas which was not consumed. During
the last week the lighting capacity of
the gas that is being furnished was GER
tainly below par, but the bills will un-
doubtedly register all right through
meters that may be ''two per cent.
slow" That the gas can kill and
come near killing has been proved but
consumers do not care to pay for that
kind of commodity. The safest thing
for all who are using the stuff called
gas is to shut off every burner at night
and see that the shutoff is secure and
tight.
