Home comfort Is an American in
stitution as typical as the Statue Of
Liberty. No other people In the
world have 50 many domestic con-
yeniences Foreign women of tho
weil-to-do middle class marvel at tho
things which American housekeepers
take FOR granted--a central heating
system. gas equipped kitchens. in
stantaneous hot water supply in
shining white bathrooms
Foreigners regard these things as
luxuries for the very rich. Amer
icans accept them as a part Of life
without thought Of where they come
from: or why All the average user
of gas in the home knows is that
when she touches a match to the
burner she gets instantaneous heat.
For her 1t just happens.
As a matter of fact, the develop
ment of the mechanism of modern
home comfort Ia a whole chapter In
the history OF American civilization.
The story of the gas stove alone Is
notable. Gas as an iIluminant had
m honorable history Of hundred
years before It found it's place as a
fuel. The gas stove has been prac-
tical only since 1880. Its evolution
from it's crude beginning to the eff

It has been accomplished by careful

scientific study and experimentation
by gas manufacturers to meet tha
public need.
AS has been said. Americans have
had little concern as to where their
home comforts come from. But now
conditions have changed and new
situation has arisen which brings the
whole matter sharply to their atten-
tion.
Enormous advances in the cost Of
labor and materials with the prices
which they may charge fixed, in most
cases, BY rule or regulation. have
brought dangerously near the rocks
those public utilities from which flow
many OF the creature comforts Of
the home. The gas manufacturers
are In a particularly hard place since
in addition to being caught between
soaring costs and stationary prices.
they are also menaced by shortage
of the gas-making oil essential to
their product.
If Americans would preserve the
convenience and comfort OF their
homes they must do more than take
them for granted. They must rec
ogniae changed conditions and their
own responsibility Each one must.
In short, assume Just share of the
increased burden Of maintaining that
