PLENTY OF NATURAL GAS?

/
On Monday, October 9Th, Mr.. w. w
Freeman, representing the Columbia
Gas Supply Company, and Mr.. Joseph
Savage, representing the Hamilton
Furnace Company, addressed the
Woman's City Club on the gas ques.
ton. After Mr. Freeman had stated
that his concern had lots of natural
gas, and that it was much bette,
than artificial gas, Mr.. Savage arose
and read from letter Mr.. Freemr
wrote to the Cincinnati city council
on May 5, 1924, part of which follows:
'These conditions produce a very
definite and serious problem in con.
nection with the future of the Cincin.
natl gas situation. After thorough
and serious research, the officers are
convinced that it is absolutely i'm
possible to obtain sufficient natural
gas from any source at prices which
would be acceptable to the public, to
enable the company in the future to
render adequate and satisfactory
service throughout the winter"
That's just it. Mr.. Freeman, told
Cincinnati council that it is absolutely
impossible to obtain sufficient natural
gas from any source at prices that
would be acceptable to the public.
This has been the argument all along
by those who claim to know something
of the situation, that the supply of
natural gas is petering out. If this
is true, and we but take the word of
Mr.. Freeman for it, that the supply
is running out, how then does the
Columbia Gas Supply Co., of which
Mr.. Freeman is high official, pro-
pose to furnish Hamilton consumers
with natural gas for the next ten
years to come?
The company would assure Hamil-
ton that there is plenty of natural gas
and that there is nothing to worry
about from this source. But, however,
when committees in past years beg
yed for an extension of the gas con-
ract they were told that the supply
$ petering out and the company no
onger cared to take on the Hamilton
ontract. Only after much begging
nd dickering did the company agree

Retail Grocery Clerks Union. Most
all other stores in Hamilton are union

buying from non-union concerns when
you can just as easily buy at union
store. Don't buy from the enemy.
Be union man, not merely a men,

WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE
For many, a great many years,
Hamilton has needed greater hotel
facilities, and it has long been the
dream of the citizens that we have a
new, modern. hotel-a fine, big build
ing with that purpose in view. Several
times movements have been started
that would lead to deep dreams and
then something would happen, peo-
pie would wake up to find their
dreams of fine, big hotel all shat
tered. Now, however, things are look
ing up to where we can pretty safely
vision the realization of our dreams
of new hotel This is fine piece
of news for all Hamilton because the
new hotel is going to fill long felt
want. Not that there can be any
kick against our present hotels, as
far as they go, but they don't go far
enough. That is, they simply are not
adequate enough to care for the de-
mands for hotel rooms. The Cham
ber of Commerce, in this instance, is
doing a fine job, and let us hope that
nothing interferes with the success of
the undertaking of the chamber and
that our dreams for new hotel
surely come true this time.

SHOP EARLY

Do your Xmas shopping early, and
do it in Hamilton. Whatever you do

Hamilton merchants a chance-frst.
Look around in the Hamilton stores
before buying elsewhere for you are
more than likely to find just what
you want right here at home. Stay

LEAVE IT TO THE PEOPLE

In the gas question the members
of city council had the greatest
chance in the world to show the peo-
pie of Hamilton that they represented
ALL the people by letting them say
just what kind of gas they wanted
by first giving them a chance to vote
on the one proposition in November.
With the propositions Of both COM
panies before them it should have been
left to the gas consumers to make
their choice. They are going to do
it anyway, why not first as last? If
council puts through the Columbia
proposal and it holds precedence over
the Hamilton Furnace Company pro-
posal, if the people vote it at the
election, it is almost an assured fact
that there will be referendum ini-
tiated and then the people will have
their final say. But, DO 1T NOW.
Leave it to the people.

If the supply was low then how is
it that there is a plentiful supply now
that competing concern is making
bid for the contract? Or did the
company only make the claim in the
past that the supply is running out in
order that it might gouge Hamilton
for an increased price? Much food

THE PARK LEVY

Hamilton hasn't whole lot in the
way of parks, but what there is we
can well be proud of. And that is
because we have real efficient park
board. One of the best in the country
and none better. Before the time of
the present board our parks were
more like garbage dumps and there
was no thought of beauty spots such
as we have now at the foot of High
street, end of Heaton street, end of
Millville avenue, etc., and of which
every citizen is proud. But we should
have more of them, and it takes
money to get them and money is lack
ing. For that reason vote Eyes" on
the park levy so that we can continue
our pretty parks and beauty spots
and have more of them.

Mrs. Calvin Coolidge's greatest prob

For the high social position of
first lady of the land imposes UNI
usual and, costly fashion obligations
on every woman who presides over
the White House.
Under the unwritten style laws she
must always wear the very latest
costumess she cannot wear the same
frock at two official functions; a
street costume can be worn only a
very few times; making over gowns
is almost out of the question; even
shoes and hats must go into the dis
card after a few public appearances,
and wearing OUT any apparel, is
impossible.
Dozens Of Outfits
Because of these requirements and
her love for fine clothes, the dress
bills of Mrs. Coolidge undoubtedly
have run into the thousands since
she took up her residence at the
White House 20 months ago.
She has dozens of outfits and
most of them arc very handsome

An interesting informal talk on the
position of Scandinavian women in
society was given last evening at the
regular monthly dinner and meeting
of the Business and Professional Wo

Of the high school faculty.
While Scandinavian women have
had the suffrage longer than Ameri-
can women, Miss Dahl explained, a
married Norwegian woman may not
yet hold property in her own name
except.by petitioning the court. Since
the traditions of their country date
back more than thousand wears,
the path Of pioneers has been doubly
hard. Only ten per cent, of the STU
dents in their universities are wo-
men, she said, but these are of a
serious, industrious type who have
been successful in their undertake
ings, and they are gradually assum-
ing positions of responsibility in the
social life of their country, as edu-
Gators, in the professions, in litera-
ture and art, and in business car
