Don't use the giant burner on your
gas range when smaller burner will
do. Also see that your gas flame fs
blue in color. Yellow or white flames
are 'wasteful.
Be careful what kind of cooking
utensils you use. Bake in tin pans in
stead of sheet iron or agate pans
Don't use the oven or broiler to toast

when cold weather sets in.
Here are some specific ways the

Epecial Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, August ia
movement is underway to transfer
the naval postgraduate school, which
has been attached to the Naval
Academy since its inception about ten
years ago. from Annapolis to another
point, probably near Washington. for
the present. The change of location
is favored by Rear Admiral Henry B.
Wilson, superintendent of the Naval
Academy. Admiral Wilson has al
ready expressed himself on the point
and will advise it in his official annual
report.
About seventy naval officers, most
of them having families. now attend
the school and the number is to be
Increased to about a. hundred. The
change Of location Of these officers
will mean a serious blow to Annapolis.
Living Conditions Hurt.
In speaking Of the matter. Admiral
Wilson stated that he feat that the
presence of so many officers here
made living conditions unsatisfactory,
sd that officers tried to avoid the de-
tai to Annapolis.
He is particularly anxious that the
officers sent to the Naval Academy
should like their assignment. 1t is
GERS of the Navy favor the change,
though it is not unanimous. Many
think that the postgraduate school
would be more favorably situated II
adjacent to the new naval expert
mental research laboratory at Belle
yue. Just below Giesboro Point, D. c.,
and that this will be it's ultimate
location.
Annapolis Rents High.
There is no secret that rental con-
ditions in Annapolis have much to DO
with the attitude of the officers. 1t
is claimed that officers sent to the
postgraduate school have much diff
cuIty> in securing suitable homes in
Annapolis at q rental in accord with
their income, and this condition also
applies to officers sent to the academy.

cupies a building that will be con-
