CAS-
USE GROWING

With an increase OF approx
mately 100000 gallons, repre-
senting a gain of II per cent
over 1881 sales, the marketed pro-
duction of liquefied petroleum
gases during 1892 continued the
increase which has been recorded
annually for several years.
The increase, however, did not
equal that recorded for 1881,
when marketed production Of
these gases was nearly 1000, 900
gallons larger than in the pre-
ceding year, the Bureau of Mines
reports.
The gases included are propane,
butane, pentane and propane-
butane mixtures. The gain re-
corded for 1892 was principally
within the fields served by
butane, especially for gas manu-
featuring purposes. The demand
for propane was only slightly
larger than in the preceding year.
Liquefied petroleum gases are
used in conjunction with the
gas industry for the recarbure-
tion of gases to offset thermal
losses; to meet peak load condi-
tions and as a protection against
Interruptions in service; for gas
enrichment; and as a source of
gas supply in localities to which
other types of gas service are not
available.
At the end of 1892, according
to data furnished by the Ameri-
can Gas Association, liquefied
petroleum gas was being delivered
through mains to consumers in
134 communities in % States by
SO companies.

 If the house is heated by furnace, fuel may be saved by shutting the doors of the least used rooms and closing off registers or radiators. The common practice of turning off the heat in bed rooms at night when the windows open results in considerable savings. During very cold snap however radiators in unheated rooms should be pro- tected from freezing by covering with blanket or by wrapping thick layers of newspapers around them To have warm halls and living in the morn- ing see that bedroom doors close tightly.

(New York World Telegram,

The Governments great emergency bank D known as the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, was forged to beat hard times. It is not doing its job.
 In creating this $3,8OOOO0OOO credit pool, Con- gress had three purposes. The first was to pump funds into sick banks insurance companies, rail- roads and other corporations. The second was to extend job-relief aid to States and cities through sef-liquidating loans The third was to make emer- gency loans to communities to feed and shelter the destitute.
 Passing over for the moment it's business loans, administration of which has been drawing so much criticism, what about it's success first-aid station for the jobess?
 The entire unloaned fund except for the $50O- 100000 ear-marked for hunger relief is available for sef-liquidating work aid projects This amounts Inow to $2O00,O ,OOOOoO and will increase through lrepayments. Yet of this only fifty-six self Iliquidating loans toalling s14768ooOo have far been approved.
 Of this only s17.793OOO has been paid out in cash. Thus only about per cent. of money available has been loaned for work relief and less than per cent. has been paid out Apparently the number of projects that can be lquidated from
 tolls and rates is limited for pending are only seven ty-four Glass r loan applications totalling $238 89O00O
 For hunger relief about one-half of the $30O- 100000 available has been loaned in short term handouts. Destitution is intense and widespread.
 Even with the present restrictions Senator La Toilette estimates that this inadequate relief fund will be exhausted by July l. This big Federal emergency bank" either should be abandoned, along with the Federal Farm Board Tor it should be reformed. Three reforms are needed iOne is to change its personnel another it's admin istraton, third it's scope Loans for relief should be administered by board of experts and the fund Ireplenished.
 The term "sef -liquidating" should be liberalized Thousands of public projects await this change:- Projects in slum elimination schools reforestation reclamation parks, hydro-electric development

THE DRYs sCORN KNOWLEDGE.

Taking the position that the United States has nothing to learn from Europe any other foreign nation about the liquor traffic and it's control the Drys of the United States scornful of any knowledge that might be gained from those sources in the study just launched through experts by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The Dry attitude recently revealed in statement issued by F. Scott Mcbride General Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League derding the Rockefeller survey and it's aims Europe teach America nothing about the solution of the liquor problem" declared MT Mcbride.
 That, of course is the mental slant with which the professional Drys view every opposing philosophy to theirs. Nobody teach, or tell the Prohibi- tonists anything that does not agree with their own convictions about the problem. To them it is no longer problem just settled issue. That is clearly revealed in another part of McBride's statement which declared:
 The most valuable study of the liquor
 problem made anywhere on earth was
 during the 25 years preceding the Eigh-
 teenth Amendment, when the American peo-
 pie tried every possible kind of regulation
 and control and contrasted the results with
 Prohibition under the operation of State
 and local dry laws There was an over
 whelming verdict of the voters that Pro-
 hbition is preferable to any other system
 ever tried.
 majority of the American people, contrary to MT. McBride's assertion never did sanction Ma tional Prohibition. But they did condemn it as wholly un-Amercan and impossible of operation successfully. And in the only vote that ever was taken when Prohibition of paramount issue-n the nationwide election of last November the voters of the United States rejected that method of liquor control emphatically to leave no doubt as to their views the subject. And that the reason why early modification of the Volstead Act to permit the manufacture and sale of beer and possibly wine, is certain, and why the Congress has just passed resolution submitting the question of repeating the Eighteenth Amendment to the sev- eral States.
 With the reversion of control from Federal to State authority there is for dispute about the advsabiity of studying the entire field at home and abroad, in planning for sane and sound local control. Many of the States are already mapping out programs, studying them carefully far in ad- vance of the day when they will be called on to assume the jurisdiction of controlling liquor traffic preventing it. Such studies as now being made by MT. Rockefellers experts, the results of which to be made available to all who desire them are not only timely but will be almost invaluable Only the hound Drys will scorn to learn from the experience of other governments and peoples in dealing with the liquor problem.

 All right. If you say so. Good bye"
 The announcement as it appear ed in the social columns was sim iple, A marriage, said the column, had been arranged between Miss Barbara Quentin and MT. Mark Lodely.
 MT Mark Lodely was, of course, the brilliant portrait painter who by his portrait of Sir Robert Phil hay had caught the serious atten- tion of the critics, and by his DOT trait of Miss Patsy Raoul, the most daring danseuse on today's stage, had forced the man in the street to stop and stare, and smile
 Miss Quentin was, of course, known to an exclusive circle as a decorator and designer. Her suc- cessful treatment of Miss Patsy Raouls house had laid the corner stone of her reputation and her partnership with the renowned Jacques Malavie, Ltd, had carried her to further successes.
