Much Natural Gas Wasted.

OF natural gas we burn usefully in
a year fully 100000 100000 cubic feet
equivalent to the heating value of 49,
100000 tons Of coal, and something
like 100000 families are directly
benefited by it in cooking, heating and
lighting. But the most significant as.
pect of this matter is that approx
mately two-thirds of the gas is used
industrially. The history of our treat
ment of natural gas is a record of wan
ton waste. Just think of it, in the
course OF one month gas was allowed
to escape unchecked from well yield
Ing the while 1000, $4,000 cubic feet
of the commodity; and in two months
four wells scattered broadcast a total
OF more than 5,O0o.OO0,000 cubic feet
of gas! This dissipation of potential
heat correspondent to 100000 tons of
coal, or enough to supply $4,000 house
holds for year. BY recourse to mod
crate expense for proper casing at our
gasoline wells an enormous conserva-
ton of this fuel might be Effected

O'Keefe suggested the slogan to the pub
Lefty committee of the Society of Amer
lean Florists in Cleveland, IN December,
1917.
1T was evident that a slogan so
worded as to induce people to use flow
ers more generally-to buy more flowers
was needed" says Mr.. O'Keefe, de
scribing the birth of the slogan, which
recently was claimed by another. In
a great mass of quotations which
gathered from the rhapsodic utterances
of poets, working under the impetus of
spring fever, / came across this:
" Flowers are words,
Which even a babe may understand
From Bishop Coxe's The Singing of
Birds.
There / said is the germ of slo-
gan. There is a language of FLOWERS.
They do speak. Even babe can under
stand. Now to work that into Goth
century phrase that conveys the mean.
ing that flowers do have language. ="
And then and there the slogan, Say 1t
with Flowers, was created.

Medical authorities said that with

material relief should be afforded to
the estimated million sufferers of
