Once in Love.
Paired Again

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.-One Of
Hollywood's little ironies mark
ed the casting Of Jack Oakie
and Mary Brian as lovers in
Paramount's college Rhythm"
It wasn't so long ago that
they were lovers in real life. It
was a romance that caused spec.
ulation in the film capital for
months, that of the demure,
Soft-spoken Texas girl and the
wiSe-cracking ex-hoofer from
Broadway.
And then something hap
pened. It began to be known
that those two would never go
to the altar together, that Mary
had decided she wasn't really
in love after all. Now they
were "just good friends" They
still went places together, still
were solicitous of each others
welfare-but things were differ.
ent all the same.
Oakie has never concealed
that his feeling for Mary Brian
has not changed. And now,
for the first time since they
played in THE Social Lion" in
1890 before their romance
cooled-they're cast opposite
each other in college Rhythm"
Twice during the picture Oakie
takes Mary Brian in his arms
and irnplants q screen kiss" on
her lips.
Once, after such a kiss, he
drew back, held her at arms
length, and looked at her. He
said:
Gee, Mary, you're q sweet
girl"
Those looking on felt a little
wrench. It seemed a mean thing
that love and the casting direc-
tor had done to Jack Oakie.

/ flow Of each of these was approxi-
! mately 100000 cubic feet of gas
each day, about ten years ago. But
| now they only average about 400,-
| 600 cubic feet each day"
1.-THE average price of manufac-
tured gas to consumers of the
United States, last year, was $1.O7
per 1000 cubic feet Average price
of natural gas for consumers was
72c per 1000. Price of gas has
gone up approximately &c per 900
cubic foot each year, the past 25
years. Manufactured gas has ap-
proximately $50 heat units in j 900
cubic foot, while natural gas has
1850 heat units in the same num-
ber. On a heat unit basis, natural
gas would be worth approximately
$2.14 per 1000 cubic foot in COM
parison to manufactured gas. Value
of service to the customer is the
thing that should control In 9TH
er words how much is good gas SER
vice worth to you? Every customer
controls the amount of gas he uses.
and the amount he wants to pay
for fuel The customer is not re-
quired to buy cubic foot of gas,
but the gas company is required to
put the gas into the customers
house SO that If he wants to burn
1t, he can.
Cooking and water heating is
the most universal use of gas. The
average cost of operating gas
range to cook meal for a family
of four is small. 1t ordinarily
takes about 1900 to 1900 cubic
feet of gas to operate a kitchen
range a month A recent survey
has demonstrated that natural gas
at $3.50 per 1000 cubic foot is the
cheapest fuel for cooking purposes
that can be secured. $43 per year
is the average gas bill of the av-
erage family in the United States.
There was total tax of SAC per
month, per customer, paid by the
gas company in Ohio, the past year.
There is now a bill pending In con-
gress to have an equalization tax of
10c per 1000 cubic foot Of gas at
walls put in effect This comes un-
der the NRA code. The average tax
paid in the United States, per fam
lily, in 1913 was 1921. This increas-
ed to $210 in 1923, and in 1888
had increased to $485 per family
Considering that $43 per year is the
average gas bill of the average
family, a 1910 reduction in the an
nual taxes Of the average family in
the United States, will more than
pay all gas bills, each year" said
Mr.. Tharp.

game became rough and rapid with

Freddy James left the game for the

gan to swish the net. With McIn-
turf and Hooper hitting the bucket,
Pennsville started to creep up. How
ever, the gun ended the contest
and started a spirited controversy.
1t seems that just as Howard Hoop
er was starting to shoot the first Of
two allotted fouls, the gun crack
ed, thus ending the melee. Due to
the fact that time should be out
during the period Of the shooting
Of a foul, the gun should not have
been fired unless play was ended
before the foul was committed.
There was nothing left to do but
to allow Hooper to shoot his two
fouls. The error was trivial, but
time is precious in a close basket
ball game, and there was a possi-
bility of Pennsville tying the con-
test If the gun had been held.

Rotary Address

E. M. Tharp, vice president and
general manager of the Ohio Fuel
Gas company. from Columbus,
spoke before the local Rotary club
at Malta hotel, Friday evening, on
Confidence" He was introduced
by R. X. Brown, and gave a splen-
did address which was thoroughly
enjoyed by the A Rotarians and
guests present. Mr.. Tharp spoke
briefly on the attacks that have
been launched against the public
utility corporations in this state,
and charged that much of this
propaganda was directed at the
utilities, for the selfish benefit of
politicians and newspaper editors.
He stated that the public should
look behind the attacks, and see
what the personal reasons may be.
"We need to be more human in our
consideration of the problems con-
rected with the public utilities of
our country" said Tharp. "Sur-
veys are being made constantly by
the gas companies, to find out diff
ficulties encountered by customers
in the use of their gas appliances.
These are conducted by young wom-
en- graduates in home economics,
and who make their surveys by
house to house canvass"
Among other statements by Mr..
Tharp were the following. "5,-
