GAS EcoSosuHs

Dear Cornerites: I know that sf are not gas users but many of the sls- ters are fortunate enough to have Eas in their homes and they must realiss as the monthly bills come in that iS makes a big difference in the cost wheth- CT proper attention is given to saving gas. -----
 I have recently read some suggestions on gas economy which I think worth while passing along.
 Don't use open-hame gas lights. Equip burners with msntles. They save gas Turn off the gas before. instead of aft CT. removing the cooking utensils. Don't permit gas flame to overlap the sides of vessel.
 Always boil water in a covered tea kettle. When the water comes to q boiling point, turn down the gas.
 Plan your cooking so that one burner or one oven cooks more than one article of food at the same time. Remember that it takes no more gas to cock twelve potatoes than it does to cook six
 Don't use the giant burner on your gas range when a smaller burner will do. AL so see that your gas flame is blue fr color. Yellow or white flames are waste ful.
 Be careful what kind of cooking utsns. is you use. Bake in tin pans instead oi sheet iron or agate pans. Don't use the oven or broiler to toast a small quanti- ty of bread. Use a small toaster.
 Never light the gas for top cooking un- til everything is ready
 Clean appliances save gas Keep soo' or dirt of water-heater coils. Every tws weeks boil range burners in water and soda and let them dry before using Best wishes to the Corner.

DOWN THE RIyEK

Dear Social Corner: The simple art of getting acquainted is. to show yourself interested in the other person, We found this quite true as we stopped in our walk down the street and visited with a Block Island fisherman whose face was bronzed with the blazing sun of many summers. We found not only his con versation but his personality very inte- resting. Farther on we met our fellow passenger from New Britain, returning, who said I don't see anything fascinat- ing about this place, I'm going back to the boat. We could not change his mind. On the road to the left we observed the handsome government building, be- decked in spotless white. the United States weather bureau of the department of agriculture.
 We stop and chat with the keeper who is out in the yard fixing his automobile He said the three large suspended lights in the yard were wind signals and when they all were burning 1t was a sign of an approaching hurricane. It is about a mile from the dock oyer to the beach on the ocean side Looking far out over the broad expanse of the Atlantic we had thoughts of how much life seemed ! like the restless sea. After watching the laundering pillows break on the san | dy shore. we stroll back to where we started from to find that. the steamer New Shoreham has just arrived with passengers and a large consignment of l freight. Sea food one of the chief pro ducts of Block Island is very reason able Large founders by barrel full were noted at the market at 12c Der h., little neck clans, 75c per peck, fresh ! killed Block Island turkeys" {codfsh) l o5c per lb.

Right nere ] was bit of pathos about 1t, as we heard l the many goodbyes between friends who were going adn those who were staying One man was seen shaking hands witl 1 himself on shore, as the boat moved out 1 into the channel.

WHAT WILL REMOVE WATEBGLAss
 FROM CROCK


 Dear Social Corner Sisters. For a long, time I have made a practice of putting down eggs in water glass, using several crooks. Those who have done likewise know that there is a white substance that clings to the jar after the eggs are used up and the remains of the Waterglass poured of. This does not prevent the use of the crock for a similar purpose, but have one which I would like to clean out for other use and wonder If some one of the sisters can tell me what to use to remove the white substance. Does anyone know what will take it off?
 It will not be long before many of the sisters will be engaged in picking so am sending two recipes which are good:
 ChiH sauce-Twenty-fo four tomatoes, peeled and sliced, eight onions and four green peppers, cut up, six tablespoons su- gar, four tablespoons salt, one. pint vine gar: Dissolve sugar in vinegar-add other ingredients, Boil over an hour
 Green Tomato Piccalillf-Slice one peck green tomatoes, add one cup salt and cover with boiling water. Cover and weight the cover to keep tomatoes under water and let stand over night. Tn the morning drain through eo1ander and add:
 one-half peck sliced onions, one pound brown sugar, four red peppers cut fine, three quarts vinegar, ene-half box whole pickling spice in muslin.
 Cook until tender by following diree- tiens: Add vinegar first, then brown sugar, sliced tomatoes and onions alter natively until all have been added-not forgetting spice in muslin bag. Bottle. Makes about 12 quarts

Dear Social Corner Sisters: have read your interesting paper and letters for many days and at last have plueked up courage enough to write. As this fs my first letter, I think shall tell of my vacation and then write couple of re- cipes for the benefit of good cooks. Dur ing the first part of the summer the fam fly gathered around the table and plan ned and suggested numerous places to spend the hot summer days. 'Beston" said one, "is too noisy and Old Orchard has so many people there all the time. At last, however, little Sebago was de- cided upon and therefore in our little Ford we wended our way. It is very beautiful and quiet and when the lake looks like a mirror, set in giant green trees, one would not want better place to spend their vacation n[ouz a1thn1lrh

of which the late Alfred B-Mason
was secretary, the recommendSt lol'
of the board of directors was acFept-
ed. This procides for the hqulda d
ton of the association as soon as the
affairs can be closed.
For many years the association
has been doing a thriving business
in this county and up to a shof'
time ago had a surplus OF $29, Ooo &c
its credit When the books were
examined about a month ago, II was
discovered that there was shortage
amounting to about 81 600.
The bond of the secretary, amount
ing to $4,000 and the surplus
were more than enough TO meet the
shortage. but so handicapped the IN
stitution that the directors though'
if best to liquidate While the books
were being examined the secretary
was taken suddenly i'll and died a
week later.
All deposits and some Of the bonds
and securities will be taken over pH
the Easton National Bank. 1t Is
stated by the officers that the stock,
holders will be paid par value Tor al
stock held. The market value mas
been above par for NUMBER o.

Several suits have been filed witt
the clerk OF the court against the
association and until these are heard
iii sbelieved, that the funds Will no
be available They are not Tor any
great amounts 1t is not likely they
will be heard at this term OF court.

Tentative valuation OF the Balti-

way Company's property as hNed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
is $1,000. 900 less than the assets
listed BIZ the company, according TO
announcement made by the commls-
sion Yesterday The exact figures OF
the tentative valuation are So 500. 3o9
whereas the company's listed assets
total "a 754.9S3. If the tentative
valuation is finally approved by the
commission after hearings, il will be
used to govern the making OF rates
on the road.
The company is doing no better
business this year than il did last,
when Samuel Rea, president OF the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company
which controls it and finances it's
deficits, practically threatened TO
abandon it. Mr.. Rea took exceptions
AT that time to the aid the State
was 2lNlHS pCtiiS

ment it was giving to motor truck
business both of which were eatlnS
very heavily into the company,s earn
ingS.
For the first quarter of this year
the company has gross revenues OF
only s25S.OOO as compared with
1920, 900 in the same period last
wear. Expenses were cut down from
S3S3,OOO to 1924, 900 for the quarter
hut even this left net deficit from
operations of $4,000 as against a
deficit last year of s62, After
taxes and rents the net deficit was
$4,000 for the quarter of this year
as against s65 900 in the same
period last year.
The Maryland, Delaware and Eir-
einia Railroad, the Pennsylvania
other Eastern Shore subsidiary, is
doing even worse. In the first
Quarter of this year its total gross
revenue was $4,000 as against
1894 900 last year. and its hot de-
was $4,000, as compared with d
deficit of $50 900 in the same PERIOD
last year. The Maryland Delaware
and Virginia is still in default on ITS
bonds, and while President Rea =
threat never was taken very seriously
because he would have TO run the
2antlet OF the Public Service Com
mission. it is not unlikely that the
PENNSYLVANIA will, in the near
future, undertake some sort OF an
adjustment of the financ, of both
these subsidiaries.
