The rapid increase IN the num-
Der OF natural gas customszs has
resulted largely from the con-
struction Of numerous pipe lines
watch carry natural gas from the
OIL and producing areas to many
large centsrs OF population, in
dustrial areas and OF hundreds
Of towns and villages.
Rapid Growth
Ten years ago natural gns was
distributed in ls states land
insignificant quantities were dis
tributed in s additional statss)
Now natural gas is consumed in
81 states.
Three years ago only 20 com
munities in the state Of Nebraska
were supplied with gas and All
were served with manufactured
gas.Now there are lis comauni-
ties in this state enjoying the
benefits OF gas service. and Of
this total 10s are supplied with
natural gas.
Many Supplied 81
On January 1, 1881 a total o:
1882 communities in the United
states were supplied with gas. OF
which s.074 were being served
With manufactured gas, 1850
served with natural gas and lis
served with liquefied petroleum
gas distributed through mains.
There are nearly 1890 gss
companies distributing gas TO the
public IN the United States. This

YOUR
-FAMIIjY r,oYATrY-
By Olive Roberts carton

What is the matter with the
clans? What has happened to the
old family spirit that made broth
ers and sisters stick together
through thick and thin and even
get out the old b1underbuss on oc-
casion IL any outsider dared to as
sail or affront or criticize.
A brother was brother no mat
ter how far he roamed, and sis
tiers were sisters forever. They
wrote and visited and had regular
old George Elliott reunions every
SO often, and even the in-laws
were drawn into the vortex.
/ Now things. are different to the
old fashioned eye Nike my own,
|tand blood appears to have little
more thickness than water. Young
sters who by any miracle may be
sitting still long enough to read
this, very likely find this moment
propitious for exclaiming, Here's
an old girl who still believes In
that old brotherly and sisterly
business! Where has she been liv-
ing? Doesn't she know that people
choose their own friends now and
that this family stuff is gone with
hoopskirts? No one with any in
telligence feels bound by an acct
dent Of birth these days. When
we don't like the family or some
one in 1t we're not hypocritical
enough to pretend we do. We are
more honest, that's all. And II
/ the devil gave us some Of our rela-
tions thank heaven we can and do
pick our own friends"
Honesty, or -?
II the aforesaid young person
has read on as far as this let me
seize the opportunity to congratu-
late her, or him. Without any
doubt. honesty is playing big part
in everything these days. But
sometimes other things parade
Under the name of honesty too.
selfishness, indulgence, and indie
pendence are none the less un-
worthy because they are done
openly and above board.
Talking with a modern young
woman not long ago about this
matter I was told in defense of
her frankness about not being able
to stand her sister, Mother must
have made us jealous of each other
when we were little. never re-
member caring much for joan
we were always quarreling. And
Bob left home early to go to school
and never came back. We girls
didn't miss him either. He's mar
ried and we've never seen his
WIFE"
Did this girl put her finger on
the trouble when she said,
mother must have done some
thing?
No mother would deliberately
estrange her children from each
other, but it can be done uncon-
sciously in a hundred ways, often
negatively, too. believe the
greatest harm is done in INFANCY
ana early childhood if no real eff.
fort is made to have the children
consider each other and to learn
generosity and sympathy and love.
Loyalty is a fine thing and family
loyalty is the finest of all. Surely
we are not going to let it go into
limbo and be classed with the lost
arts!

the necessity for care of the child's
first or temporary teeth. If they are
neglected, all of the bones OF the
head and face suffer from under-
development, resulting in restric-
lions Of the air passages and SIM
uses, and, therefore, mouth breath
ing, adenoids, diseased tonsils, lack
of chest development and a gener-
ally unfavorable influence upon the
complete physical development and
well being of the child.
Care. of these early teeth should
include proper daily brushing from
the earliest possible date; diet not
only Of tooth building materials, but
of tough fibrous foods which re-
quire vigorous chewing; and free
quent visits to the dentist. Some
times, in baby teeth as we'll as In
the permanent ones, decay starts
almost as soon as the teeth come
into place and frequently the dam
age at even three and one halwfto
four years is irreparable. The child
should be taken to the dentist at
the age Of two and one half years,
at the latest, and thereafter at reg
ular intervals.

firmly. Gwen If you hadn't sweet

He really meant that. Ellen
fuWbled with pleasure and went to
tell Molly. All three of them bub-
bled and laughed and planned
through the lunchson preparations.
Afterwards Larry helped dry the
dishes ana then departed.
''An errand for Mother" he ex-
planned. "She wants some things
Tor my uncle's place. Since the
suit has been settled 1t belongs to
her. You know the house Is quite

It was Molly who came to the
rescue. I'm sorry but Ellen can't

here" tssts
Larry returned at exactly four
o'clock. In spite Of all her resolu-
ton Ellen was frightened. She felt
young and inexperienced and sat
close to Larry as the car sped
through whirling snow up Park

stopped at q towering apartment

Ellen drew deep breath. Her

eyes wefe like stars and her cheeks
were blazing. With Larry she en-
tered a richly furnished, warmly
lighted apartment. The curtains
were drawn and there was crack
ling FIRE in the CRATE.
Mrs Harrowgate came to meet
them. She was smart. thin, skill
fully mads-up woman wearing q
Paris gown. She appeared hospit-
able and at the same time vaguely
formidable. She seemed anxious to
make amends for the past yet her
manner was not quite convincing.
1t seemed impossible for Larry's
mother to make q generous sur
render. She did apologize, casu-
ally for her negligence but 1t was
with an air of expecting instant
pardon. Ellen smiled shyly in con-
husioh and inclined her head. She
knew she would never come to like
Mrs Harrowgate but she could get
along with her. The older woman
dropped q light kiss on the girls
forehead, linked arms with her and
drew her forward into the warm,
fiower-scented living room.
Ellen was never to forget the
hour that followed. There were
tea roses in blue bowl on the low
polished coffes--4abla- where Mrs
Harrowgate stationed herself to
paur the tea. Always ever after
ward the sweet heavy odor was to
bring the scene back to the girl.
She would see that room again In
ali its luxurious and infinite de-
tail. She would hear Mrs Harrow
gates throaty voice slipping along
in conversation that was gracious
but not from the heart. She would

now stood in the way of their mar
