in Pairs Competition
By MARGARET RUSSELL

PHILADELPHIA, April 1S.-

cluded here Saturday night at his

biggest and best of all to date.
The tournament drew over 500
entries from % states. which Is an
increase of approximately 200 over
last years turnout at Cleveland.
Spectators still are talking about
the program presented by Alden
Sibley and Louise Moore of the
Detroit Figure Skating Club OF
Arena Gardens in bringing the
first national novice pairs title to
Detroit.
Oddly enough. Sibley and Moore
were slated to skate in this event
as the thirteenth pair. with Billy
Martin and Dorothy Law of the
same Detroit club. fourteenth.
However, the girl partner in one
|of the pairs preceding, fell and
couldn't 60 on, so that made the
winners skating twelfth and Mar
tin and Dorothy went into thir-
teenth. Dorothy and Billy could
do no better than fourth.
Harry Lindbergh, state speed
skating champion, competed here
lin those events with his rabbits
foot hanging from his belt for
good luck. But about the only
thing it brought him was. a ma
tional record for the senior mems
two-mile race at 5 minutes SOP
seconds over the previous mark of
5 minutes So seconds.
Don't forget the big roller
hockey game Wednesday night.
between Wells and Eastwood pros
at Wells Rink, 245 Haltiner street,

played after the regular session
and there will be no extra charge
for admission.

ly bills which, when reduced to
heating unit basis, are more thar
one and q half times and in some
instances close to twice the lowest
bills paid for similar heating values
in other large cities using COM
parable type Of mixed gas.
On che other hand, the District
rates are also substantially below
the highest bills comparable, al
though in one heating value category
Arlington County, Va, has the high
est bills.
This information was disclosed to-
day in a survey of typical residential
gas bills by the Federal Power Com
mission. The survey covered 199
cities Of more than $4,000 population
"a Of 199 Use Mixed Gas.
Washington and Arlington County
are included among "a Of the 199
communities which used a mixed
gas The others are about evenly
divided between those using natural
gas entirely and those using manu-
factured gas entirely, and one or two
that use both.
Because of the variation in heating
value in the three types of gas, the
survey has converted rates. which
are generally on cubic foot
basis, to therm basis. The
therm Is unit of measure COM
monty used by the gas industry to
denote the heating value of gas.
Washington gas, for example, and
also that of Arlington County, has
900 British thermal units to a cubic
foot, whereas Waco, Tex, using
natural gas, has 1,050.
The survey is based on residential
bills paid as of March /, 1941. 1t
indicates that from S to 10 therms

for cooking. From is to 25 would
be consumed for. both cooking and

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, COM

Big British Fleet
In Indian Ocean

LONDON, Oct. 23-UP) = A
strong British fleet, including three
battleships and an aircraft carrier,
is operating in the Indian ocean
and along the east coast of Africa,
it was disclosed today.
Admiral Sir James Somerville is
in command of the battle fleet,
which naval quarters presumed had
a normal screen of cruisers, de-
stroyers and auxiliary vessels.
The battleships are the 81, 100 ton
Warspite and the Royal Sovereign
and the Resolution, both 29,l50
tons.
The aircraft carrier was revealed
as the 1llustrious, $4,000 tons.
Naval quarters believed that this
fleet possibly accounts for the
marked reduction in Japanese naval
activity in the Indian ocean since
carrier based planes unsuccessfully
attempted to knock out Ceylon last
spring.
