Thousands Lost
by Careless Use
of Gas in Homes
American Association Gives
List of Hints for Cutting
Down Bills-Condemns
Opcn.Flamc Burners.

/ New York. March S.-A list Of
hints ior housewives has been COM
piled by the American Gas assoeia-
ton. which has been investigating
the ways manufactured gas is used
in the house.
As a result OF the investigation,
the association has come TO the con-
elusion that carelessness and
though,lessneSs are the chief causes
Tor waste and that hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars could be saved
yearly ii household commanders
would practice economy.
The association reported that
some people still insist upon using
the gas range oven to heat the
kitchen and every now and then a
family goes TO Palm Beach or Eu-
rope and forgets 10 turn off the
light or other appliance"
The engineers also discovered that
Careless servants who rule supreme
in the kitchen use gas with a prod
igality that would shame the lady
OF the house were she to investigate
conditions for herself"
Condemns Open Burner.
As an example OF deliberate waste,
the association points 10 the fact
that the old-fashioncd, open-fame
burner is still being used by many
in preference to the efficient modern
mantle light, although the former
consumes four to five times as much
gas as the latter.
The list OF hints include. these
warnings:
Don't use the giant burners on
ranges when the smaller burners
serve the same purpose.
Don't heat a kettleful OF water
when a quart will do.
Don't permit the gas fame to
overlap the sides Of cooking uten-
sill.
Turn out the gas when you don't
need it-matches are cheaper than
gas.
1T takes no more gas to cook y
potatoes than it does TO cook SIX.
"Turn out the gas before, not after,
taking a cooking utensil off the
range.
Plan Out Cooking.
You cannot raise the temperature
OF water above 2l2 degrees Fahen-
heit, or boiling point; therefore, once
the pot starts to boil on the range,
reduce the fame.
"Plan your cooking so as to make
one burner or one oven cook more
than one article Of food at the same
time.
Give thought to the selection OF
proper utensils; flat bottom utensils |
with a base broader than the gas
flame are fuel savers.
Keep fame tips on range and
water heater burners about onc-half |
to three-fourths. of an inch long. A
long. yellow, smoky fame is very
wasteful; a small, blue fame is much
hotter and requires less gas.
Keep the copper coils on your
water heater bright and clean. See |
that the door fits closely when shut. /
"Do not use a gas mantle after it
has been broken.
adjust burners so that they act |
steadily and do not hiss.
Keep burners Of gas range clean !
by washing them in boiling water
and soda at least once a month and |
have them dry before using"

Drive i'm Favor of Irish
Treaty Opened in Dublin
y Ihe NssocInted PrcsN.

Dublin. March 5.-The crowds
which gathered today for the open
ing OF the campaign in favor OF ac-
ceptance OF the Anglo-lrish treaty
were notable not only because Of
their vast proportions but the high
degree of enthusiasm evinced.
The orators. in addition to Mich
ael Collins and Arthur Griffith, in
cluded Joseph McGrath. minister OF
labor; William Cosgrove, minister
for home affairs and other leaders
in the provisional government. Two
platforms were constantly employed
by the speakers,
Tear Down Flag.
With the exception OF minor flag
incident, when girls and women tore
down free state tricolor, perfect
order was maintained by the republi-
can police.
Mr.. Collins. in a long speech, de
tended the treaty. He asserted that
once the free state was established,
the union OF northeast Ulster witt,
the remainder OF Ireland was certain.
He expressed determination to pro-
ceed to the ablishment OF police
force, despite the warnings OF Eamon
de Valera. 1t would not be politi-
cal force to protect any special Sec
ton, but would be for the protection
OF every citizen in Ireland.
Ireland Not Betrayed.
Mr.. Grifhth's address was brief.
Both he and Mr.. Collins pointed TO
the British troops leaving Ireland as
being proof that Ireland had not
been betrayed.
The position in the northeast, Mr..
Collins said, was not ideal. but there
were only two alternative issues
coercion or Cancellation. Whichever
alternative was adopted must be
adopted wholehealtedly. All were
agreed against coercion, but the
treaty contained forces for persua-
sion which would bring the northeast
into bankruptcy il it staid out OF the
tree state.
The speaker asked why British
agents were being attacked and their
arms taken away from them when
there was no war in progress, unless
it was intended to turn those arms
against the people
