NEW LAWS MAY COME
 ON GAS APPLIANCES
Connecticut Cites Expected to
 Prohibit Poor Devices.

Ordinances restricting the sale of unapproved gas appliances are ex pected in Connecticut cities in the near future. according to Connecticut gas men. quoted by the Connecticut Committee on Public Service lnfor nation The establishment of the Gas Appliance Testing Laboratory Of the American Gas Association this year has already led to the adoption Of ordinances prohibiting the sale of unapproved gas appliances and it is now believed that the association tests will be used as d basis for reg ulation In this state.
 All appliances approved by the labo ratory are fully tested for efficiency and safety. Appliances which give maximum safety and allow minimum danger to public health are the ones which receive the snmp of approval Of the laboratory Some Connecticut cities already have ordinances which restrict the sale Of unapproved types of gas tubing. and it is believed that other regulations concerning the sale of other appliances are due to be passed soon The laboratory has al. ready approved of $50 types Of gas ranges after having submitted them to series of rigorous tests People who purchase ranges bearing the blue approval tag of the laboratory are therefore assured maximum efn- cieney and safety of operation

5000 Characters
Chinese Typewriter

San Francisco, Apr. /, (P)-Froin
out of the Orient with its mys-
teries and ancient lore, has come an
invention worthy of Occidental
genius in the form of typewriter
capable of transcribing the thousands
OF Geographic crypts of old China.
1t is being marketed here.
The machine, first of it's kind, was
designed by TIE Quon, a native of
Shanghai. 1t is the product of years
of toll and experiments with various
machines of foreign make, in which
was involved the tedious task Of coll
lecting nearly all of the common-use
characters needed for the expression
OF the Chinese language of commerce.
There are 5000 characters on the
machine. These are Transcribed to
paper through the medium of the ia
millior rubber roller, line shifting
apparatus and linked ribbon.
Instead OF each character being
mounted on an individual arm as ID
the case with American and Euro
pean machines, however, the charac-
tiers rest on a sliding table and Q
single key rod drops down, picks UP
the letter wished and after It 10 used
drops the type back into It's respec-
tive slot. The entire appara tus
weighs about 40 pounds.
1t Is claimed the ordinarily edu.
Gated Chinese, with two months
practice can acquire a speed Of
1000 characters an hour which
equals speed possible on European
machines as each sign or character
may represent several words.

Old Flags Preserved
State of Illinois

Springfield, ILL.,, April J.. - up -
Preserving the flags under which
the sons of Illinois have gone forth
to battle. from Chapultepec to
Chateau Thierry, Is the work now
of a corps of thirty Springfield wo-
men under the direction of Miss
Julia A. Rockford.
There are seven distinct operations
in the process, and In the case of
flags tattered by bullet and shell
holes, the work occupies several
months.
The first is to straighten the edges
of the tatters so that they will fray
no further. However, no part of
the torn standards is replaced by
any new material. A net of trans
parent black silk, imported from
England, is prepared for each flag.
and after it's restoration. the net is
put over the flag and stitched to it
SO that the net supports the weight
Of the time-worn material, which
might otherwise pull apart.
More than one hundred of the
wartime emblems of Illinois have
been thus prepared. Flags Of the
Mexican war were treated first.
When the Civil War hags were taken
up, 1t was found that much Of the
work of the Springfield women OF
1S65-66 would have to be undone.
They sewed the flags to tarletan.
This backing Is being removed in the
new process.
