CHATS WITH
YOUR
GAS MAN

When the term BTU" is
mentioned in connection with
gas standards, do not be con.
fused. 1t means Heat Unit
that and nothing more. The
"B' stands for British; the II"
! for Thermal, m aiming Heat;
! and the ~" for Unit British
! Thermal Unit, or Heat Unit.
, Heat, like many of the things
VIC use, such as cloth, sugar,
potatoes, lumber, etc, can be
measured. A definite amount
of heat must be applied to any
object to raise it from one tenn
pcrature to another. Thus the
quantity of heat necessary to
warm one pound of water one
degree in temperature is called
Heat Unit.
When burned, gas gives up or
produces a definite number of
Heat Units. Tests are taken at
our plant every day to make
sure thai the proper number Of
heat units are in every cubic
foot of gas VIC send out. An
instrument called a Calorimeler
is used.
There is no guesswork in the
gas business. Both the Quality
and Quantity of gas are deter.
mined by machines that are sci
rntihca!iy perfect.

TEENS, AND IF IS THE CRAPS!

From the New York World.
 SNROM the innards of an otherwise
 H ho-hum commerce report IS S dragged the intimation that France has acquiesced with the conclusion long ago expounded by the A. E. F., that the author of the First Year Arithmetic was full of home-brew when he wrote that seven is followed by eight.
 The French have come to know, as was often illustrated by doughboys in between sessions of showing the Crown Princes armies further back than his chin, that the logical sequence is seven eleven.
 It appears if one is adept at inter preting the lines of commerce report, that the French have yielded to the lure of the game of shootzekrap; that fac- tories have been established to fashion into cubes the tusks which before the advent of the A. E. F. the French rec ognized as being merely a means of keep ing an elephants face in place.
 These factories have been fashioning the rambling worries and bones so nu- merously that it has become necessary to export them, and the report tabulates prices quoted for recent exports of this commodity.

From the Louisville Courier-J ournal. STlvEN as all was vanity in the days IN of Solomon, when wisdom was ~ empiric, all nowadays is vita mines, because all knowledge worth con- sedering is scientific. It is discovered that corn excels all other grains in vitamines.
 Bread is the staff of life, corn ''pone" the giver of life. Many southerners have believed it, but not until the age of vitamines could any among them explain it. The Indians were mighty race, not in numbers or in arms but in vitality. The Indian bureau contends that "The Passing of the Indian" everywhere, and almost every day, written, is greater fic- ton than The Leather-Stocking Tales, and that no race in world history has matched the American Indians in ability to withstand all of the slings and ar rows of outrageous fortune which pelt a race contendng with inferior arms and in inferior numbers, against conquering races. The Indian pounded between stones the gram WHICH ne re6aiueu oo |" gift from Mondamin, who made the grass grow to great proportion and bear fruit which the summer sun cured for winter use.
 When analysis of foods and feeds be- gan, corn was found relatively low in protein. Now it is found that it's food value cannot be expressed in such terms as protein and carbohydrates, or in ca lories of energy units. The scientific in vestigator expresses it in vitamines. The consumer of cornbread expresses his per- sonal estimate by consuming a hatful of natures bounty and would if gifted, ex- press it additionally in song.

IGNORING A CLERK

From the New York Tribune.
 It is hard to imagine the House of Representatives pausing to pay spe- cial tribute to a retiring clerk. Changed with every change in party control, he is but minor official at Washington. The case is different with the House of Commons. Its clerk, Sir Courtenay service of 2s years and the House adopted, with great Enthusiasm, and after laudatory speeches by Lloyd George and MT.

More impor- tant than that, he is, in effect. the chief draftsman of bills.

Temperance Organization
 Begins Anti-Tobacco Fiph

"A CHICAGO dispatch to the New &A York World states that the National Woman's Christian Temper ance union has started it's campaign against tobacco and other evils, thus fulfilling the prediction. repeatedly made that when the prohibition fight was won organized reform would look about for new worlds to conquer.
 Propaganda is being sent broad cast over the country. Members are urged to 'arouse public sentiment against girls and women selling to- bacco in hotel Hobbies, railway sta tions, theatre lobbies and other places, apparently without regard for the large number of persons who would thus be deprived of livelihood. Col leSes and clubs will be asked to aban- don smokers" protests are to be made to the owners of hotels and res taurants where smoking is permitted, health authorities will be asked to prohibit smoking in markets and stores where foodstuffs are sold, and ordinances will be demanded forbid ding smoking in polling and voting places.
 These are only a few of the evils to be combated. It is estimated that 150,OO0 caddies are on golf links when they should be at Sunday school; thousands of men are forced to work on Sunday; men and women ride in automobiles when they should be in church, and commercialized amuse- ments are s'desecrating the Sabbath for filthy gold"
 The reformer, male and female, is strictly an American product. Such movements as we have in this coun- try to pass blue laws and take the joy out of life are incomprehensible to Europeans, and they are becoming somewhat tiresome to a great many Americans. The drive against to- bacco has assumed formidable pro-

 No doubt no doubt! It is all mat ter of evolution. The ancient science itself has evolved, why not women?
 True. the Neolithic woman pictured by Professor John M. Tyler was appar- ently a person too absorbed in the pur- suit of arts and crafts to indulge any lurking appetite for seeing the Neo- Iithic prototype of O'Dowd grapple for the blood of a Stone Age Wilson in some hollow of the ageless hills; but then that was 10000 years ago, and per haps it is easier to reconstruct the chronicle of womanly virtues in gar dening and spinning than the tale of wives amusements in their hours of ease.

 From the commerce report at hand, however, it is gathered that the Yankee doughboy compensated for having left behind several flocks of cigar coupons by also leaving with the French an ac- quaintance with the game which initiates or deflates the income tax and which, when dexterously practiced with appro- priate cajoling. is sometimes means of ensuring that baby's feet will be parked within pair of shoes.
 Being an adaptable race, the French are assumed to have finally fathomed the mystic chantings of Private John Smith when he implored the specked ivories to provide the rent" and mois- tened his palms as he whanged the tusk chips through geometrical proportions preparatory Nto their eventual roll call on the greensward or table top or curb stone.
 There is the consolation, however, that this American game. imported from the African golf links, cannot be as success fully operated in France as here for, Private John Smith may inform himself. what does French tongue know of the essential exhortations of "Tadeja two bits" and let 'er ride" and you babies come homo to daddy?
