in the first 1000 cubic feet of gas
trSad in cents.
Average Cost .159 Cents

On the basis of this tabulation 1t
is disclosed that the average cost
for a British Thermal Unit of gas
in these nine cities is .159 cents.
The charge in indianapolis is OPS
cents above the average for the
group as a whole, but considerably
below Jersey City and Seattle.
This valuation of British Thermal
Units. it must be remembered, is
for the first 1000 cubic feet of gas
used. In instances where sliding
rates are in effect, the charge for
total B. T. us will vary because
Of the benefit of a lower price for
a greater load of gas used. How
ever, the figures are actual where
consideration IS given only to the
first 1000 cubic feet of gas utilized.

Consumers Of Indianapolis ana
eight other cities OF a comparable
population pay an average Of .l59
cents for each British Thermal Unit
OF gas. The cost in indianapolis
alone is 1874 cents. or slightly above
the average for all nine cities con-
sidered.
OF the nine municipalities sur
viewed four sold manufactured gas.
four sold natural gas and one sold a
mixture Of natural and water gas.
Il does not make any difference
that three types Of gas should be
used in the calculations as the
relative value OF one gas as COM
pared with another depends on the
number OF B. T. US evolved when
the respective gases are burned.
The British Thermal Unit IS
baSicaIly the yardstick for nnding
out the cost Of gas to the consumer.
The price for 1000 cubic feet Of 500
3. T. u. gas in community A may
be 81 and $50 in Community B
for 1000 feet Of 1000 B. T. U. gas.
This would not imply that con-
sumers in community B were be-
ing charged a higher rate than con-
sumers in community A. In fact
consumers in community B are en-
loving a much more favorable rate
than consumers in community A
T.U. Content Imported
The British Thermal Unit is the
instrument for measuring the guam
titv Of heat and one such unit is
required TO raise one pound Of wa
ter one degree Fahrenheit. ConSe-
ouently. the gas consumer is con-
cerned chiefly with the amount Of
2. T. L. content in his gas II fol-
lows naturally that only 500 cubic
feet OF 1000 B. T. U. gas is needed
TO do the same work as 1000 cubic
feet Of 500 B. T. U. gas. And, in ar
irving at this result IL does not
make any difference what types OF
gas are used.
In the Texas Panhandle district
1000 cubic feet OF 1000 B. T. U. gas
is available at 80 cents. This would
mean consumers there receive 1875
British Thermal Units of heating
value for every cent they pay. Such
a rate. OF course. would not hold
true Of other sections Of the coun-
try.
For the sake Of comparison We
will cut deeply into the Texas figure
and assume that the national av-
erage is 10 British Thermal Units
for I cent.

-Four Use Natural Gas

-Four OF these cities use straight
natural gas while the fifth uses
mixture Of natural with water gas.
The four cities which charge higher
rates are Indianapolis. Jersey City.
Rochester and Seattle, all manufac-

To continue further the study of
the relationship OF these rates in the
nine cities We are able TO determine

Units in each Of the nine cities

Ell ~MARAVILLOSO RELATE

La historic es larga de contarse
principal ell erudito-porque hay
que traer a la memoria algunos ante
cedentes.
Ell problema de la navigation sub
marina preocup6 durante miles de amos
al genera humane. Aristoteles cuenta
que Alexandra en- la batalla de Trio,
utilize una maquina que permitia a
varios hombres sumergirse y echar a
pique las raves enemigas por medic de
barrenos.
Las referencias abundan a 10 largo
de los siglos. Lord Bacon dejo escri-
to que ell Emperador Carlos V Sc in
teresaba vivamente por la navigation
submarine, y que asistio a mas prue-
has que sc efectuaron en- ell Tajo,
muy cerca de Toledo, con un extrano
aparato en- ell que algunos hombres
h~icieron un recorrido bajo ell aqua.
Conocidos son tambien los esfuer-
EOS y Bourne. Van Drebiel, Bushnell
y otros; pero toca a Roberto Fulton
la gloria de haber disenado y construi-
do los primeros barcos submarines
verdaderamente eficientes.
Fulton guerra que su invento des-
concertante s~irviera de NOBLE defensa
a las naciones debiles. Penso con a
cicrto que ell emple0 de las minas SUP
marinas portatiles permitiria a los PAL
ses pobres hundir sin grave peligro las
flotas mas poderosas.
Cuando la escuadra inglesa puso
bloqueo a las costas francesas. ell ce-
lebrc inventor sc dirigio a Paris. pro-
poniendo a Napoleon la construction
de un submarine de acuerdo con sus
pianos.
Bonaparte, e~ntonces Primer Consul
de la Republica, nombro una comision
compuesta de hombres de la ITALIA Glen
tifica de Laplace y de Volney para
que estudiara ell proyecto. Y habien-
do sido favorable ell dictamen de los
sabios, Sc proporcion6 a Fulton ell di-
nero suficiente para la construction
de su aparato.
A POGO. en- las aguas tranquilas del
puerto de Brest corria un extrano pes
cado metalico que podia permanecer
sumergido durante cinco horas. con
una tripulacion de tres hombres. y de-
vorar ia fantastica distancia de 400

Wholly New.

from the four previously presented
here, the Don Cossack Russian
Male Chorus makes its farewell ap-
pearance at English's Sunday after
noon, Nov. 10.
EXiled forever, with EN- Voyage"
written on their League Of Nations
passports, these giant Cossacks and
their diminutive leader, Serge ia
rolf, are keeping alive. in their
public the memory of Mother Rus
STA.
From the vast store of their
musical heritage, the Don CossacAs
have chosen to give examples OF the
mystic loneliness of Russian ortho-
dox liturgical music, tonal narra-
tives of Cossack lore and the Rus
sian folk song, with its pervading
note of melancholy.

Mr.. House, who throughout his
act decries the fact that ne and his
company are "thumbing" their way
to Dayton and would appreciate
any applause they could get, puts
his comedy line over with vigor. The
bedroom skits are excellently done,
mostly because of Mr.. Houses in
jections of genuine humor.
Mr.. Ates is pleasing in brief
sketch in which he demonstrates his
ability to stammer perfectly, play
the violin and tear up trombone.
Mr. Ate'S art has few participants
who can get the tonal variations,
bass gurgles and generally mixed
up word formation acquired by him.
One of the most dazzling spec
tacleS seen on the Lyric stage is
Lottie Mayors water ballet. In this
act a chorus of young women APP
pears in ballet costume, mount high
steps and walk down into a huge
tank of water built on the stage.
Large mirrors reflect the fact that
the girls really do enter the water,
clothes and all.
Then they reappear from the tank
wearing different costumes. Diving
feats and dance formations feature
the act. A finale shows one girl held
aloft on a swing from which she
dives into the tank. Colorful cos
tunes and settings and good dane
ing make Miss Mayors act out
standing.
The Whirlwind Daredevils, speed
roller skaters, perform at dizzy
speeds a foot or so from the foot
