France and Italy, a q~uadruple alliance
o. the old kind. They misunderstood
Americas willingness to help Europe
IN the last war as a readiness to send
troops across the Atlantic on I'M oc-
easion and against any group Of ma
lions to which the special alliance may
become hostile. Therefore, when the
european delegates at the Paris con-
ference hear what the American sem
ators have been saying, they will be
quite ready to meet Mr.. Wilson'S de-
sifeS n frame a treaty which he
thinks viii be acceptable &c the Ameri-
can people,
IL the president would only have
neen more frank in his speeches dur
ing his brief visit to America he would
nave revealed that many Of the points
made by the American senators had
actually been proposed by the Ameri-
can delegation, but We're rejected. Mir.
Wilson is now in a position to argue
that those points must be leinstated.

Stieg, for the pipes " the gas plant

have the way OF getting clogged " few
months ago, when you were using coke
and oil to make gas, did they?
A,-Ne, It is not customary for the
pipes to become clogged, But We have
been having ~ great deal OF trouble
with fuel, We have had as much
trouble with coke as we have with
coal, The quality of coke has varied
greatly; coke from different ovens has
differed. and we have had a great deal
Of trouble with it.
One more question, Mr.. Stieg. viii

Of the manufacture OF gas when the

Taft Big Help.


Former President Taft's analysis OF
the criticisms OF the present plan for d
league of nations indicates a whole sun
port of the plan that will make Europe
think he merely presents the spirit ot
the Republican party in the nation
Europe has observed the constant bonn,
bardment by Republican senators OF
Mr.. Wilson but in so far as the pre-
miers have believed that opposition to
mean friendship for their respective
claims they have been pleased, Where
the opposition means aloofness from
European affairs entirely they will b,

TO believe overnight that the ideals OF
President Wilson have suddenly been
~repudiated by the people.
They will prefer to believe that Mr.,
Wilson and Mr.. Taft represent the over

ators represent merely a protest against
details rather than the principle Of tht
covenant. Certainly the plan for the
league will be a~nended-not in funda-

months hence the senator's who are now
denouncing the league will be p~raising
1t, only they will be saying: Our OBJ
jectlons, our criticism did it; we de-
serve credit for the change, not Mr.
Wilson,"
President Wilson very wisely declared
In his New York speech that no party
could appropriate the league as an ac-
complishment because the issue was
nonpartisan. II Mr., Wilson had only
pronounced himself likewise before the
November elections with respect to the
war and peace problems, he might 0

Cooks Enjoy Pure Air.

The cutting off of the gas, however,
Is giving the respiratory organs Of the
cooks q rest. Their pipes" II you
viii excuse the expression, were also
becoming somewhat FED I'M on the
s0-called gas and they needed a rest
dUites IA much as the pipes in the gas
plant. They do not like for the men
folks TO have to resort to the quick
lunch counter, the cracker box, the
cheese head and the tin can for tha
food supplies, but at the same time
they do enjoy tho opportunity to in
hale a few breaths Of uncontaminated

Knox View Old.

Here is Senator Knox, for example.
taking identically the same position
which the American delegates took at
the outset, namely, that the league
must be a combination of all the pow
efst including Germany. The Penn
sylyanla senator declares that to ex-
elude Germany would be merely to set
up another balance of power. That was
exactly Mr., Wilson's position in his
famous Manchester speech. But the
American delegates found that France
beIeNed Germany should 60 on a Pc
Rod Of probation, And that view be-
came the unanimous opinion finally Of
the delegates, for all progress al the
conference was by unanimous agree
ment.
1t is quite likely, however, that the
provision in the present draft which
would exclude any nation by two-thirds
vote Will he amended. No group of ma
tons should have the right TO exclude
any nation, but specific conditions or
qualifications OF membership should be
set forth on the satisfaction OF which
capacity for fulfilling its international
o~bllgations admission should be granted,
Take also Mr.. knox's point about
compulsory arbitration or Senator
Borah's suggestion for the required arr
bitration Of Unsuitable disputes; the
American delegates stood out for these
things and had to compromise because
Of the opposition Of other delegations
In any respect, therefore, the debate In
the senate will make a reassertion OF
American principles and a warning to
the peace conference that the price OF
American participation in European al
Iairs - a recognition Of the funda-
mentalS Of an International Justice
which the United States has cham
pioned in the past.
Already the United States Is bound
In honor by 30 treaties not to make war
until a year has elapsed for investiga-
ton OF It's disputes with 30 respective
nations We have, SO to speak, sur
rendered our sovereignty right to make
war upon most nations OF the world
until after a certain period has elapsed,
Other nations have not adopted that
principle. Whatever happens to the
league Of nations, the United States
would be bound by those treaties,
Therefore the American delegates
rightly argue that if the hands Of Inc
United States are tied for a year at
least in each controversy, il war a be
postponed a year, 1t can be deferred
an even longer time without any more

Stieg Would Talk.

Mr.. Stieg wants to tell all about the gas
company and it's troubles, but he wants
to talk to the city commission. lie says
mayor, but in his letter he says that
he wants to make his statement to the
oon'mission In person and not In u
written communication, and after hav-
ing neard his statement he feels that
lust people will be more inclined to
exercise PATIENCE
Most consumers think that the fact
that the plant is still standing is best
evidence Of their having exercised great
patience.

attributed to you in The News Soimitar

Imperfect Service

In view OF the imperfect service
which our company, through no fault
of its own, has been compelled to pro-
vide rEeently and the consequent crit,
cism, we hope that, in connection witt
inquiry concerning gas bills, you will
exclusively inquire into and pass upor
all problems with which u company
has contended during the past two years
and especially recently in trying to rem
der service.
We want It clearly understood thai
in urging this wider inquiry we are not
seeking any increased rates. but we
want 1t disclosed and we want the pub
lie to know fully what unprecedented
demands have been made upon the
company, what plans we made tive
years ago to increase the amount and
improve the quality Of gas; just what
money has been spent, what money IL
involved In incompleted contracts, what
has actually been done, is being done
and how we have been delayed and de-
feated by war conditions and especially
by the superior demands Of the govern
ment for the machinery, material and
labor which We have required.

Criticism Is Hurting

GSCSVOuA uuOo 6"ulupOu,
The situation which forces many men
and women used TO taking their meals
at home to patronize restaurants and
hotels ~ not all pie" to the restau-
rants and hotels, There has been a
noticeable increase In the volume Of
business In all Of the large restaurants
since the gas supply was cut off
Wednesday morning, but many small
restaurants are almost az badly dis
commoded by the lack Of gas, such az
II was, as housekeepers. They have
had to resort to coal stoves and their
quick process dishes, such as hot cakes,
have had 60 be abandoned. The man
agemont OF the three hotels, the Chisca.
Gayoso and Peabody, says that their
lunchrooms al not operate TO capacity
and that they are really losing money,
because all the trade lost in the lunch
rooms has not been diverted to the main
dining rooms Of the hotels.
There has been a run on the supplies
Of cheese. crackers, canned goods, dill
pickles, sarhiHes and other things that
do not require the application OF heat
TO make edible. Many men, however,
have been forced to miss a meal or so
while they were adjusting themselves
to the changed circumstances.

of on the frame and also fasten the
cover down the latch side of the
door, allowing a wide hem of the
material to overlap the place where
be opened without unbuttoning the
cover. The bottom of the cover
should extend down into the lower
pan. Four double strips, which taper
to or 10 inches in width, are sewed
to the upper part of the cover. These
strips form wicks that dip over fQto
the upper pan.
The dimensions given make re-

mansions If larger capacity is de-
sired, the height of the refrigerator
O'' HOW it Operates
Operation of the refrigerator shown
in the illustration is as simple as its
construction. The lowering of tenn
perature inside the refrigerator de-
ponds upon the evaporation of water.
To change water from liquid to
Vapor, or to bring about evaporation,
requires heat. AS evaporation takes
place heat is taken from the inside OF
the refrigerator, thereby lowering the
temperature of the inside and the
contents.
Keep the upper pan tllled with wa
ter. The water is siXawn by capillary
attraction through the wicks and
saturates the cover. Capillary action
starts more readily if the cover is
first dampened by dipping it into
water or throwing water upon it with
the hand. The greater the rate of
evaporation the lower the tempera-
ture which can be secured; therefore
the refrigerator works best when
rapid evaporation takes place. When
the refrigerator is placed in a shady
place in strong breeze and the air
is warm and dry evaporation goes on
continuously and rapidly and the tenn
perature inside the refrigerator is re-
duced. Under ideal conditions the
temperature has been known to be re-
duced to SO degrees F. When the air
is damp the refrigerator will not
work so we'll, since there is not
enough evaporation. More water will
find it's way to the lower pan, but 1t
will be drawn up into the covering
by capillary attraction when the
air becomes drier.
Care of Refrigerator
The refrigerator should be regu-
larly cleaned and summed. If the
framework, shelves and pans are
white enameled they can more easily
be kept in a sanitary condition. 1t
is we'll to have two covers, so that
a fresh one can be used each week
and the soiled one washed and summed
