THE GAS SITUATION.

The cause of the gas shortage in Pine Bluff, Little Rock and other towns is due, apparently, not only to the fact that Texas and Louisiana communities get first "whack" at the output of the fields, but that the Ar kansas Natural Gas company has been trying to do d wholesale business with retail facilities.
 Of course, the demand in severe weather, such as we are now cNperi- cncing, is so much greater than for nine or ten months of the year, that the company can hardly be condemned for not providing lines of sufficient size to provide enough gas in very cold weather.
 On the other hand, however, the con sumer who contracts for gas service IS entitled to service when it is most needed. A service that breaks down just when it is most needed is not much of q service.
 It is gratifying, therefore, to note that the gas company has come to realize that 1t should fulfill its part of the bargain to supply gas when gas is most needed, and is installing new and larger pipe lines.
 In the meantime, lets not overlook the question of rates. Gas bills are going to be higher this month than ever before-due both to the cold and 10 the increase in rates. If the gas company is entitled to charge more for it's service and renders service worth the money, therell not be just cause for complaint. But the people who use natura gas should not be eX- plotted simply because prices of other fuel are higher

RURAL NURSING
 NEEDED TO STOP INFANT MORTALITY
By Associated rreSS.l

Washington. January 11-Rural districts must have nursing services, the Children's Bureau finds. if infant mortality in remote regions is to be reduced and human life conserved at this time when the nations human resources are being wasted by war Results of the bureaus first detailed study of the care available for babies and mothers in rural communities were made public today, showing that one infant in every 25 of the section observed failed to survive, or that 1 per cent of all children die before they reach the age Of l2 months.
 The bureaus first survey was com pletcd in d prosperous county of southern Kansas, bordering on Okla. homa. Similar studies are in progress in Wisconsin and North Carolina. The population in the Kansas county is widely scattered but no home is more than 20 miles from a doctor, and telephone and good roads minimize the disadvantages of great distances.
 In spite ot these favorable crcum- stances, the report records that two- thirds of the mothers haC no medical care before their childre nwere born. and more than one-third had no visit from a physician after the day of the birth. FOur-fifths of the wives of farmers had to work for large farm crews at the time when they specially needed to conserve all their strength
 While the existing death rate is comparatively low for this county the report says: The existing rate shonld not be regarded with com placcnCy, for, as Sir Arthur New hctme says. If babies were well born and well cared for their mortality would be nosli2ible. in ether words, there l. uc inherent reason why babies shoHlC die in a community which has all the advantages pos sessed by this county country life. hcalthtul climate, high standards O. living, high level of intelligence about matters of health and means whereWith to provide for it's mothers and babies

EASY RIDING COMES
THROUGH Use Of

1t has always been a problem with

Try production springs and motor cars
have practically been standardized
and manufacturers have permitted the
ultimate purchaser to supply his car
with shock absorbers to make up for
the deficiency of springs.
Along with shock absOrbers came the
cord tire. which also made for easy
riding qualities. The first cost of these
tires has been prohbitive TO the aver
age user.

the recommended pressure in order to
keep the side walls from prematureiy
breaking down. The use of Palmer
Safety cord tubes in fabric tires gives
these tires all the advantages of the
cord tire and at less expense, and that
means thousands of miles more service
from castings not only because of the
fact thatsthe casing can be maintained
at the proper initiation point, but these
tubes themselves have strength enough
because of the Sea Island cord mesh to
bridge over any weaknesses that may
develop in the casing, in this way min
inning the possibility of costly blow
outs. many of which are the cause of
serious accidents.
The Palmer cord tube weighs but
/ little more than the average tube and
the average fabric casing equipped
with the Palmer Safety cord tube
/ weighs about the same as the cord
constructed casing.
! THE real strength of the Palmer cord
tubes has been proven by service tests
for our territory mans car has been
equipped with a casing with large holes
cut in the side of it, and the Palmer
mord tube within has been inflated to
the normal recommended pressure
This salesman's car so equipped has
covered close to 5000 miles and there
is no evidence yet of the Palmer Safety
cord tubes giving out under this abuse
1t is this fact that has enabled us tC
establish agencies throughout the ter

If it does not so register. the hand is

may be weak or the return spring may
not be strong enough. If the error is
more than a triflins one the meter

1t is not often that mechanical trQu-

commonest mechanical i'll. Sometimes
there is trouble in the linkage or in the

1t Is necessary to inspect the entire
wiring system at frequent intervals,
because open circuits and shorts are
likely to occur at amy time. The chat

IS enough TO prevent the current from
flowing to the place where It is needed.
Constant vigilance is the price OF start
Ing and lighting efficiency
There are two methods OF running
/ the wires. from the battery to the
lamps, etc. known respectively as
single and double wiring. In the double
system two wires are used, one to carry
the current to its place where it is
needed and another to bring it back to
the battery. In the single wire system
one wire carries the current out, while
the return is accomplished through the
metal of the cars frame. If the wire
of single wire system is stripped OF
its Insulation and touches the metal OF
the car. a short circuit is established
and the part served by that wire will
not operate at all. if it is a lamp il
