NATURAL GAS—OUR NEW BONANZA On a doleful day in the late spring •of 1930, when the nation's industrials were languishing and crying aloud for resuscitation, there stepped forth a- mong them a hearty stranger exub- erant with the joyful spirit of strength and new growth. The name of this rotund novice was Natural Gas, and he was spoken of descriptively as the wonder fuel of Nature. He carried up his sleeve twice the heat units of gas from the factory, required no stoker at the fur- nace door, left no ashes. So great had the infant grown that the single item of supplying it with pipe through which to proceed to work was keeping important branches of the giant steel industry quite well occupied while other orders were lacking. Steel is thankful for this patronage. Yet steel, in a way, is parent to the new industry. To carry the wild gas the steel industry developed pipe two feet across and a method of so welding it together that it would stand 'a high pressure and' never leak. With such pipe Louisiana has shak- en hands by means of natural gas lines with Atlanta and St. Louis ; Kettleman Hills, in California, has blessed San Francisco; and Amarillo, Texas, is groping for Chicago and Minneapolis. But yesterday natural gas arrived in Kansas City, New Or- leans, ,Salt Lake City, Memphis, Bir- mingham, El Paso and Omaha. To- morrow it will be knocking at the door of Indianapolis, Des Moines, Seattle, Detroit, and Milwaukee. En- thusiasts are talking of the time when few communities in the nation will not tie into a system with stopcocks to the nether regions where enormous reserves of gas are pushing hard for a chance to lick, red -tongued, the bot- toms of boilers. The maddest adventure of the pres- ent generation has been the pursuit of oil. Men have gone about the land dropping drills to puncture its crust on the chance that here and there they might find one of those inverted basins which have been set as traps and reservoirs .for the oil and gas brewed from the animal and vegetable growth of ages past. Often they have found the flowing mineral. And always it has been natural gas dissolved in this oil under pressure, that has pushed it up where man could capture it in his barrels. Of- ten little further use has been found for this gas when it has served its initial purpose of oil delivery. Im- measurable quantities of it have come to the surface where there 'was no de- mand for it, and have been liberated. Now that a market for this gas is being found it may well turn out that the value of that which got a- way was as great as the value of the oil that was recovered. In the Kettleman Hills oil field the Discovery well was brought in two years ago. It blew precious gas out of control for six months. The West- ern record was broken when a pipe line 250 miles long was laid to San Francisco. This one well has • been producing enough gas to supply the northern half of California. It will supply for an undetermined period all the gas that is locally needed. Other wells have been 'brought in at Kettle - man and :their gas largely is being wasted. 'California has more gas than she can use, but now she is hur- rying pipe lines away in many direc- tions—notably toward Portland and Seattle. This yield of natural gas as an in- cident to oil production is not, how- ever, the big item in the new scheme. To understand the new industry we should look toward' Amarillo, Texas. Amarillo, •a short time ago, was a straggling cow town out in the midst of those lonesome reaches of the semi- arid Great Plains stretching from Mexico to Canada. Inquisitiivie geo- logists, financed by speculative oilJ men, began looking for evidences of domes and anti -clines in this lonesome area in the second decade of the pres- ent century; in 1918 one of them tap- ped gas that pushed 450 pounds a- gainst every square inch in its eag- erness to escape its age-old confine- ment. Time and perseverance devel- oped the fact that, beginning at the FREE TRIAL OFFER U you have never tried Kruschen—try it now at our expense.

About the fringes of this area oil was pro- duced., but the section was primarily a natural-gas belt. Amarillo was so far from any area of large population that its gas was considered, next to worthless until the new steel pipe was developed. Then, in September, 1928, a pipe line twenty inches in diameter and 382 miles long, capable of delivering 250,000,000 cub- ic feet of gas a day, reached Kansas City from the Panhandle. At the same time a line to Denver, 340 miles in length and 22 inches in diameter, was under construction. It later branched out to supply such adjacent cities as Boulder. Then, the Pan- handle thought about Minneapolis and set about its annexation. Finally there came, this spring, what seemed the climax of hallucinations due to gas —giving the impression that certain important people, reputed to be solid business men, were under its influ- ence. It was definitely concluded that two lines, each 24 inches in diameter and 1,000 miles long, should be laid from the Panhandle to the Chicago area. The Natural Gas 'Company, a new corporation, organized for the purpose, should finance them. The undertaking would require somewhere around $100,000,000, yet there seemed to be no worry about the money; for Henry L. Doherty, the Insull interests of Chicago, the Stan- dard Oil of New Jersey; the Texas Company, the Skelly Oil Company, and others sat in at the christening. Last summer orders for thousands of miles of large-sized pipe were re- ceived by steel companies. Every mill in America that could make it began to run night shifts. Reports says, however, that there is no chance of catching up with orders before the end of 1931. So rapid has been this development of the use of natural gas that few people have paused to consider its ul- timate possibilities. It seems obvious however, that the heart of the nation which lies 'between the Appalachians and the Rockies and boasts a popula- tion of 57,000,000 will, in another year have natural gas available to it. The possibilities of reaching the rest of the world with the California surplus or of reaching the New York area with gas from Louisiana -Texas sourc- es is to -day no more vague and im- practicable than reaching Chicago seemed to most people two years ago. During recent decades the waste of natural gas has appalled our con- servationists. But now that a value has at last been given to gas no pres- sure will 'be required to induce own- ers to cap their wells and keep the gas underground until a market is found. The natural gas of the na- tion will be automatically conserved. Moreover the production of oil will be less precipitate. The gas and the oil it brings up must emerge slowly, that the former may find its way in- to distribution lines and harvest its share of the profits. Thus is a brake put on this oil game, which has here- tofore paid altogether too little at- tention to speed limits. GUARD THE BABY AGAINST COLDS To guard the baby against colds nothing can equal Baby's Own Tab- lets. The Tablets are a mild laxative that will keep the little one's stom- ach -and bowels working regularly. It is a recognized fact that where the stomach and bowels are in good order that colds will not exist;.• that the health of • the little one will be good and that he will thrive and be happy and good-natured. The Tablets are sold 'by medicine dealers or 'by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Go., Brockville, Ont. THE BOOM IN ENGLISH GHOSTS This season finds Britain experienc- ing an unparalleled boom in. ghosts. Innumerable new ones are reported from all over the country while most of the established ghosts have again been on the job. Anne Boleyn has gone wailing down the corridor at Hampton Court. The little old lady in black who rnce frightened a man to death is haunting Rufford Abbey. In its orna- mental iron case in ancient Smith - hills Hall, the martyr's footprint has been seen to bleed. Bishop Roger of Salisbury has been stalking the ruins of Sherborne 'Castle, as has been his wont lox the last nine centuries. A domestic has caught sight of the Duchess of Ma,zarin, who was Charles II's mistress, shamelessly flitting through her old apartments in St. James's Palace, and the fearful tube ghost (described 'by Swifte, Keeper of tre Crown Jewels, in 1860) has eddied across a courtyard of the Tower of London and nearly scared a sentry out of his wits. Rationalists expllain the present ep- idemic 'by the anxiety neurosis of the island folk just now. There was a similar epidemic during the World War, when all the old ghosts began to 'walk and a multitude of new ones (among them the angels of Mons) sprang up. Spiritualists argue that when people are worried, restless, ner- vous, they 'become more sensitive to occult presences. Myself, I prefer to echo Madame de Def'and, who, when asked whether she believed in ghosts, replied: "No, but I am afraid of them." Abandoning conjectures, let me draw you closer to these spectral cor- ridors of ancestral mansions. It is difficult to make a choice among so many spooks, (but we might do worse than start at Windsor 'Castle. The story breaks last November with the screams of •a housemaid in a corridor off the Blue. Drawing Room. a foot- man came running and found the girl in a faint on the floor. When she re- covered she asserted that a huge white figure had suddenly loomed at her from a recess in the wall as she went peacefully along with her duster. Some skepticism is expressed by authorities on the ground that al- though the King's huge old 'castle is notoriously haunted, all the spooks are wellknown, and there is no record of an undefined shape more than life size. King Charles I and Queen Eliza- beth are the two most regular appari- eirlaa.b.sa ,ii fir^ itti Ms�tt, hili tions at Windsor. The later Fampress Frederick has left it en record the:.t she was reading in the library and looked up to see a cavalier standing by her side. His face, •s'he said, bore a strong resemblance to pictures of the 'Stuart King who lost his 'bead. After standing quite still beside her for a few moments, he vanished. Another frequent visitor to the castle, Princess Beatrice, aunt of the present king, on several occasions has seen the spirit of Elizabeth. Once the princess's black cat also apparently saw the ghost, for he took sudden alarm and jumped out of a window and broke his l'eg., Then there is a strong rumor, which the reporters so far cannot get con -flamed or denied, that the ghost of Glamis Castle is appearing night af- ter night. This particular ghost is in the nature of a skeleton in the cup- board of the Duchess of York's fam- ily. Legend runs that Earl Beardie, a notorious gambler of the 15th cen- tury, lost Glamis itself to a guest at card .play in the crypt, and slew him to avoid paying. Something there- upon happened, the exact nature of which is known, generation after gen- eration, to only three people: the liv- ing Earl of Strathmore, his heir, and the steward of the castle. Legend a- gain has it that on 'a certain night each year, these three men visit the crypt and there witness Earl Beardie replaying that card game. If there is anything in the story which excited the Village of Glamis, the spectral Earl Beardie has mixed up his dates, got tired of the crypt and started flit- ting about other parts of the castle. The tales that came into London newspaper offices over the wires from Scotland were followed by news which took reporters and a couple of psychic experts up to the Elizabethan man- sion of the old Boynton family in Yorkshire, where there is kept in a glass case in the entrance hall a skull supposed to be that of a former fe- male member of the family. The lady suffered a terrible wrong some 300 years ago, and insisted that until she was avenged her skull should adorn the entrance hall. Later a skeptical Boynton had the skull buried in the garden. That night, screams from the hall! The household rushed down. There lay the skull in the middle of the floor. The frightened head of the house humored it by restoring it to its proper place. The present story is that the skull has 'been screaming a- gain, but why, no one seems to know. Two of Henry VIiI's wives. Cath- erine :Toward and Jane Sey.n• ur, reg- ularly haunt Hampton Court. Both have appeared this month, while Anne Boleyn, who was beheaded, has been seen no less than four times. The last person who claims to have seen her was discovered in the Haunted Gal- lery at ten o'clock and turned over to the police. He said he was a spiritual- ist who had secreted himself in the palace, and that he had seen Anne and was interrupted just as he was going to talk to her. Among some dozen other new ap- paritions is that of the Rev. Norbert Wylie, Who died two years •ago.A host of witnesses testify to having seen his ghost in the Holy Cross Priory in Lei- cester, and Father Fabian Dix, the present prior, saw the apparition him- self and heard it speak. From the fox-hunting districts come several new ghosts, among them a phantom horse, an Eye of Doom in a vague vast shape hovering over tomb- stones in an old churchyard, and a glimmering white hand which has tak- en to drifting about a squire's house and has sent a well known hunting woman into hysterics. An instance of the aimlessness of this season's ghosts is the brown monk of the Seaforth elan of Scot- land. He was definitely reported in December as seen by villagers near the stream which turns muddy when a Seaforth is about to die. According to family legend, one of the Seaforths (then the M'ackensies; the Seaforth tile came later) fell afoul of the Church and got cursed. The brown nionk who laid the curse said that there should come a deaf head of the clan, and, contemporary with him, four great lairds with marked physi- cal defects—'and that when this hap- pened the family's land would be lost and the line become extinct. Centuries passed. Then the (List chief of the Mackensies, who had been created Lord Seaforth, lost his four sons and, owing to speculation, got his estate hopelessly involved. It was then realized that the curse was coming literally true. For Lord Sea - forth was deaf, and four of his con- temporaries 'bore marked physical de- fects. One stammered, one was buck- toothed, one hair -lipped and one half- witted. Sir Walter Scott dug up the curse and authenticated it at the time. It is a question what the recent ap- parition of the 'brown monk portends, since the last Lord Seaforth died in 1923. One can only surmise that the brown monk has been hunting so long that he has fallen a victim to a hab- it, or else that the news service of the spirit world is defective. TAt,K OF THE TOWN Somewhere in the past we have met radio announcers before—somewhere radio announcers came into our life, long before the radio. The sound, of their voices touches a familiar chord in memory. We know what chord it is, too; radio announcers are the lit- tle boys of twenty years ago who us- ed to delight their grammar -school teacher by reading "with expression." That's it. How well we remember them, the little sissies. Half the time they didn't know the words, but they read then with expression anyway. They are still doing it, still raising their voices on the last word of the sentence in the ecstasy of putting their personalities over with the teach- er. We could have knocked their lit- tle blocks off in those days. We still can, damnit. Gine us that rock. * * * The nerves of a sensitive lady visi- tor from England were shaken the other day when she approached a po- liceman to ask him the way to the nearest subway station. She hasn't got on to American usage yet, unfor- tunately, and told him she wanted to get to the "Underworld." The cop, ap- parently thinking it was another prac- tical' joke, grinned at her and said: A li I" +y2i1,44114ilt "'NTT dea4, 4adki*P oR,40:d."

Finally they began to de- mand humiliating things of him; once Mr. Kleimbaum sent fpr him and ask- ed him to conduct some people around the studios. The author indignantly refused. When told that his refusal was trantamount to breaking his con- tract, he gave in and said he would show the visitors about. They were, it came out, stockholders in the movie concern. Our author was merely pres- ented as "Mr. (we will say) Jones." Mr. Jones set his teeth and started out. Everything went all right till someone asked Mr. Jones what a cer- tain big building was for. "Oh, that," said the author, "that is where the company stores the films it makes which are no good." "You mean that whole building is filled with wasted film?" demanded one of the appre- hensive stockholders. "Yes, indeed," said Jones, "and not only that one, care about money. It does everything on a big scale. Why, take me. I'm' the highest-paid guide in the world. I get $600 a week just to show visitors around." * * It startles us to realize how old Modernism is getting to be. Why, we remember when Modernism was just a little boy in short pants. Do you re- member when those modern chairs were cutting their first steel legs, and when those modern lampshades were in short creases? How grown up they are now—and how quaint they all seem, so full of the pathos of the past! And what, if you please, has brought the gray into Modernism's hair? -- what else but the new Paris gowns, with their frills and ruffles and lanc- es: the new Paris gowns, just like Grandma used to wear! * * * There is no one in all New York we envy more than the garbagema:i, Not even a fireman gets so much fun out of life.

He is shrewd in measuring his pace, and goes down the block bit by bit, innocently keep- ing just to windward of you. He drives like a ward boss through red lights and green, and backs his truck over the crossing with more privilege than a baby carriage in Fifth Avenue. He is as masterful as a pirate and chock full of gusto. As we watch a garbage crew at work, we momentar- ily expect to see them burst into song and clink, property beakers. Why shouldn't they? They have the town by the tail and they know it. HEALTH SERVICE OF THE CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION The Stitch in Time. Although remarkable progress has been made in the campaign against tuberculosis, this disease still remains one of the most powerful foes with which the human family has to con- tend. The progress which has been made is encouraging, particularly because it has -been realized in spite of the fact that no specific means of either preventing or curing tuberculosis has as yet been discovered. The majority of persons take into their bedies, fairly early in life, the germs which cause tuberculosis. In most persons, the germs lie dormant because the power of resistance of the human body are kept at a sufficiently high level to hold the germs in check. It is when the body resistance is lowered that the dormant germs have their chance, and they then become active, causing the disease which we know as tuberculosis. Body resistance may be lowered by many causes, among which are worry, over -fatigue, bad working or living conditions, poor diet, or the occurrence of some debilitating disease. These conditions are not the direct cause of tuberculosis, but they act as contribu- tory causes by lowering body resist- ance and giving the germs which cause the disease an opportunity to become active. If tuberculosis does occur, the ques- tion of cure and the time required for cure 'become most important con- siderations. We should never lose sight of the fact when the disease is diagnosed early, there is every chance of cure, prolviding that proper treatment is started -ithout delay and continued for as long as it is necessary. The chance for cure decreases proportion- ately with the delay in beginning treatment. The longer treatment is postponed the more time will be re- quired to obtain results. Any person who has been exposed to tuberculosis—and this generally means anyone who has lived in a home where there has been an active case —should be regularly examined by a physician. The reason why such ex- aminations are recommended• is that if disease does occur, it will be detect- ed in its earliest stages and treat- ment secured without delay. The person who, for any reason, suspects that he may have tuberculosis, should go immediately to his doctor for an 1i2 INTE 'F`il,saimr'lg gid• Pillow Slips Specially Priced 98c pair Made of pure fine thread cotton.

HOUSEHOLD DISCOVERIES For a year 'before I was married I kept a scrap book divided into rooms of the house—also a section for "cel- lar" and for "sewing." After house- keeping for over seven years, I still find my little book of great use. For instance, when I saw an article on how to treat leather seats in chairs, It was pasted in the "dining room" section; anything pertaining to clean- ing of paint, etc., is placed under "kitchen"; sewing hints and ideas for dressmaking were put in their place. Then I found many articles on kit- chen utensils, methods of curtaining, wallpaper best'suited to certain rooms, etc. Under "cellar" went any art- icles on the removal of stain, laun- dering, etc. Also, articles which dealt with the fruit cupboard or furnace. One cannot possibly remember all the useful things one reads, and if the clippings are kept in an envelope in one's desk they can be pasted in from time to time when a few are col- lected. Having the scrap book divid- ed into rooms makes the work of keeping the book up to date a fas- cinating occupation for the home- maker. Our own "household" file is divided as follows: 1. Living room hints. 2. Dining room hints which deal with table setting, serving, carving, care of table linens and care of sil- ver; also arrangements of flowers. 3. Kitchen, dealing with kitchen utensils, furnishing, cleaning, etc. 4. Cooking, general cookery hints and cookery utensils, as roasting pans, cake tins, etc. 5. Food, hints on marketing, care of food, selection of food, etc. 6. Bedrooms. 7. Clothing and laundry (spots, washing, ironing, etc.). 8. Cleaning and caring for floors. 9. Cleaning and caring for furni- ture (including furniture polishes, re- moving marks from furniture, etc.). 10. House hints, dealing with 'win- dows, window blinds, lamps, lights and other matters not covered by other sections. 11. The sewing room (hints on sewing, darning, re -making old gar- inents, knitting, crocheting, etc.). 12. Heating (hints regarding the furnace and other matters pertaining to the cellar). This file is invaluable and has sav- h' ed many dollars. • * * When the coal oil stove wick burns too low to light again, take it out of the burner of the stove and with a screw driver or knife press out the little clips at the bottom of the hold- er. Now take the wick out and cut three-fourths of an inch off another old wick, keeping it even. Now place the piece at the bottom of the one you have just taken out and sew in one and out the other. Your stitches do not have to be very fine ones, but do not pull too tight. Just have the edges of the two pieces of wick touch- ing not lapping, as lapping them would make a ridge. Now put back in the holder, press down tfie clips with pinchers, and put' back in stove again. It only takes a little time to do this, and sometimes the pieced wicks last as long as a new one, which costs forty cents. I have done this a number of times. * * * Add a pinch of soda to sour cream and serve it with raw fruits or sal- ads.

They are of good quality cotton. I pay the grocer five cents each for them, and make many articles from them, such as apron*, clothes -pin 'bags, pillow cases, etc., and the thin kind which come inside the jute sugar bags can be used for dusters, dish towels, etc. The heavy ones, of course, have colored writing on them, but the laundry bleaches them white for a few cents. They are indeed worth it. * * * I use the backs which are worn out ing useful aprons. desired pattern. * * of house dresses in front for mak- Cut them on any * Our favorite recipe for maple cream: Two cupfuls 'brown sugar, 2 cupfuls white sugar, 1 cup milk, one- half cup corn syrup, one-half cup but- ter.

Then I can soon see the '1'• t �hfi'-n''G kind of 'button or nail I want, with- out having to hunt for them. This is a time saver where there are chil- dren, as one often wishes to sew a button on the children's clothing. I also keep cotton and a needle handy in the same place. * * * As many laundries do not replace lost handkerchiefs, I baste all hand- kerchiefs together at one corner when sending out laundry to be "rough dried." Then I can be sure that all of the handkerchiefs come back with the laundry.
