Gas Expert Will Undertake to Heat 100 Homes at Cost Cheaper
 Than Coal

Atlantic City, N. J.. Oct 24--Henry l.. Doherty of New York at the open ing of the American Gas Association here announced his intention of heat ing 100 homes in Denver this winter with manufactured gas at a cost that would compete with coal.
 According to MT. Doherty, the gas price to he fixed will be approximately sl for million British thermal units which will make the cost of gas equivalent to S15 for ton of coal. Mir. Doherty Is president of the Cities Serv- ice company, and president of the Lenver Gas and Electric Light com pany, subsidiary,
 In explaining his new projects, Mir. Doherty said he wanted 10 make Den- yer the first really smokeless city in the world, and also wanted to prove to fuel experts that it was possible to substitute gas for coal in homes,
 "I have spent largesums of money and more than twenty years of work on this problem" he said, "and only this last spring acquired gas com pany in smaller Eastern city for the

purpose of demonstrating that the conveniences and advantages of gas could be given to the home owners at no greater expense than the nse of solid fuel.
 Perhaps our experiments this Win ter will provide facts that may be used for the basis of a general plan 10 heat all the homes in Denver In com ing years, At least we will make a demonstration that will excite world wide interest
 Dr. Yadell Henderson of Yale Uni versity recommended that ethyl mer- captan, an odor resembling that of the skunk. should be used to give warn ing of escaping gas. One drop of mer- captan liberated In the Grand Central Terminal in New York would precipi- tate a scramble for the exits, he said.
