new GAS RANGES
SET FOR MARKET
High Specifications of
Manufacture Featured
In Latest Numbers

Connecticut gas companies, joint
ly with those in other parts of
the country today made public their
plans for a program to be launched
on August l, which will present a
new and superior type of gas range
known as the certified perform
ance gas range, that will be capable
of performance and efficiency great
er than is now obtainable in
ranges placed on the market up
to date.
Certified performance" is not the
name of any particular manufac-
turers brand of gas range, but Is a
name designed to apply to all ranges
which meet with certain new, high
specifications of manufacture, drawn
by a special committee of the Amer
lean Gas Association which has been
working out the details for more
than a year Ranges in keeping with
the new specifications will be pro-
duced this summer by at least IL
leading manufacturers. These ap-
appliances will be designed to fulfill
% specifications drawn by the COM
mittee to insure improved conven-
fence, perfect performance, and a
maximum efficiency.
The new specifications are expect
ed to give impetus to widespread
general improvement over the high
standards already required for ap-
proval by the American Gas Asso-
citation laboratory. After the start
has been made, similar work will be
undertaken with other gas burning
appliances.
In preparing specifications for
the certified performance range, the
committee has aimed to improve all
details.
Throughout the new ranges will
be incorporated the most modern
automatic features, insulation which
will keep the average surface tenn
eprature 80 per cent coloer than
formerly, SO that less heat goes into
the kitchen and more into the food,
quick heating features producing 40
to SO per cent faster results than
many ranges previously marketed,
greater efficiencies to enable more
economic use of gas, and methods of
construction to insure convenience
and added cleanliness.

Appointed an Enemy
To His Cabinet

MO man more violently de-
~ nounced Abraham Lincoln,
both before the Civil War and up
to 1862, than Edwin McMasters
Stanton. A Democrat, opposed to
slavery, Stanton nevertheless was
firm defender Of the constitu-
tional rights of shareholders. Thus
he bitterly opposed LINCOLN, whose
party he hated and distrusted
even more.
Stanton became attorney gen.
eral under President Buchanan.
He did what he could to strength
en- the weak policy of the Presi-
dent. Thus he came to the atten-
ton of Lincoln, who later thought
he saw in Stanton good war
minister. In January, 1862, Lin
coin invited him to join his cabi-
net in this post. Stanton did.
He proved often harsh, caused
considerable friction among Union
generals. But he thoroughly reor-
ganized the army, cut through a
maze Of fraud and red tape, in
fused new energy into the high
command. Not the least of his
achievements was disbandment of
100000 soldiers at the close of the
war. Later he served in the cabi-
net of Andrew johnson, but with
incessant turmoil. He constantly
opposed johnson. Stanton died in
Washington on Dec. "a, 1869. He
is shown above on the 7-cent issue
of 1870. The stamp is enlarged.
