.AN ApEouArE GAS SUPPLY.

MO one thing could be of greater interest to
Y Fairmont people than an assurance Of an
adequate gas supply for the coming winter The
Monongahea Power and Railway Company now
owned by, the West Penn interests, is undertaking
complete oyerhauling Of every branch Of public
service in connection with its properties here and
among other things undertaken, involving the ex-
penditure OF one million dollars, the company
promises an increased gas production from four
new wells recently drilled and assures that all con-
sumers may expect an ample gas supply this year.
The gas supply has been steadily dwindllng in
this community for the last few years. In the face
of inadequate supply of gas, rates were raised,
and the public has not only had TO pay an unjust-
fable increase, but has been sckened and nauseat-
ed by manufactured gas turned in the mains
to supplement the lack of natural gas This manu-
featured gas has mot had the heat units of the

the city now fully equipped with hot air heat,
steam heat, and pipeless furnaces, although the
gas plumbing is retained and the gas stoves large
ly used so long as the supply holds out.
Natural gas is the finest cleanest, most deslr-
able heat that can be had. With proper ventIla-
ton and proper combustion no other heating
facility can touch natural gas Because OF this,
and because Fairmonters believed that the supply
was intxhaustible, numerous homes were erected
here with no provision for other heat. When no
gas was available, or the supply dwindled un::l
1t was impossible to even boil water over It, tam-
lies housed thus were In most uncomfortable cir
cumstances The gas bills continued large. No
reduction was considered for the inadequate SER

Berton Braley,g Poem
DIPLOMACY

When Armageddon ended, we
sighed. THE Turk is
through.
We've driven out Of Europe that
bloody-handed crew.
Whose massacres and slaughters
once sfekened all the world.
The ancient Moslem menace afar
from US is hurled
No longer shall our history with
Turkish deeds be black. -
But-the diplomats got busy, and
now the Turk is back!
The fine old-fashioned diplomats
who brought about the war.
Who brewed the European mess
which We are paying for;
Who caused some twenty million
deaths. who plunged tlle
world In flame
With Just the same old box OF
tricks play Just the same old
game.
We thought the war had freed US
from the ugly Moslem pack.
But the diplomats got busy-and
now the Turk is back!
The diplomats, they never learn,
they never seem to change,
They play the same old chessmen
which they shift and rear.
range,
They scheme and plot and gamble
with the destlnies of men,
And when they've ruined half the,
world they start to plot
suave and sly and smooth Of
speech, they've. ruled by
outworn rules.
They look like learned gentlemen
but act like knaves and
fools.
Lord save us from the diplomats,
there's wee along their
track,
The clever, stupid diplomats who
brought the Moslem back!

no MORE LIQUOR ON AMERICAN SHIPS

HE United States Department Of Justice ar
rived at the only possible decision when 1t
ruled that American ships must give up the sale
Of liquor. No other decree could possibly have
been rendered and the fat that It is unlawful for
American ships to be, found with liquor in Amefi-
can territorial waters, or for American ships to
engage in the transportation and sale of intoxt-
cants wherever these ships may be operated, must
hold so long as the yolstead act continues to be a
part Of the law Of the land.
1t is only the shipping interests and the wet
influence that sought to make an exception to this
law. Public opinion found no argument conyine-
ing by which bars might be kept open on American
ships but closed on American soil. The United
States declared unequivocally for the adjustment
Of intoxlcantg, and laws were incorporated in the
Constitution to that end. An American ship has
always been regarded as, American soil. Nsuch q
ship claims the protection of the American flag
the wonder arises that the shipping interests should
have had the hardihood to fight for an exemption
from law enforcement that governs the rest Of
the American nation.
1t will ever remain mystery as to why Ameri-
can ships have been permitted TO engage In the
sale OF intoxcants over such, long period Of time
after the Yolstead act went into effect. Those at
the head OF, the administration must have known
that these ships were breaking the law 1t re-
NAMED for dsgruntled brewer to drive the gov
eminent to point OF law enforcement, to arouse
public opinion to the point Of demanding that
American ships comply.
The Volstead act will cease to be joke in ship
ping circles now and there will be no more chance
for foreign persons to sheer at country half dry
and half wet.
