Pae live SUGGESTIONS FOR GAS USERS ARE GIVEN HEREWITH .Correct Operation of Ap pliances Will Result in Amazing Saving In New Plant of Natural Gas Corporation of Oregon If a few simple rules are followec In the use of gaa appliances, it I; amazing the amount of savings ir gas consumption which will be shown. Here are some of them. Never upe a stronger flame than necessary. Turn the burners as low as practicable. Be sure to uso the proper burner. The simmering burner is an im portant aid to economy. It burro less gas. than the giant burner and can be used for a great deal of cook ing, as well as to keep thingswarm Do not have three or four burners going when two will do. If you have sectional saucepans with perpendic ular slfles, you can put two over one burner. When boiling, keep pans properly covered. Remember that no mattei 4iow much gas you burn, you cannot raise the temperaturo of water above 312 degrees Fahrenheit, or the boil ing point. Therefore, when the boil ing point Is reached, reduce the flame. This effects a substantial sav ing. Do not remove the covers un necessarily while cooking, as this allows the heat to escape. Have your oven well heated before using. Ten minutes is an average allowance for the baking over and five minutes for the broiling oven. This method involves no waste of gas. because if food is placed in a cold oven, the cooking will take Just that much longer; besides, the re sults will not be so good. Plan your cooking so as to cook as many things as possible in the oven at one time. It is surprising how much you can reduce your gas cost In a year by the simple habit of turning off the gas BEFORE instead of AFTER removing the utensils. Also, do not leave a burner lighted because you expect to use it again in a few min utes. When cooking on a gas range Is once started. It is almost impossible to use too little heat, but it is easy to use too much. luch of the satisfaction in the Use of gas appliances comes from the use of proper utensils. To save gas, it is advisable to use aluminum, glass or tin ware. It is Important not to have more heat applied to a utensil than it can absorb at once. Therefore, utensils with a base broader than the gas flame are fuel savers. Steam cookers are also an aid. Several articles, sometimes even a whole meal, con be cooked over one burner In a steam cooker. NEWLY WEDS AT COVE ARE CHARIVARI ED P"7 - k: - , III flfi w Breakfast Bread An Appetite Thriller Tube To X-Ray Buildings Expected; -Not Content With Two Million Vdts . Ily Kluer Martin (Home Economist, Natural Gas Corporation of Oregon) ; Of all tho fragrant odors of break fast preparation penetrating the farthest corner of the house, perheps no no thrills the appetites more than that of warm bread. Any hot bread, evon though it is only toast, adds I immcarusably to the success of the early meal. Quickly mixed hot breads, i as every home maker knows, leaves j a lion's share of the work to tho oven. Muffins or biscuits need no longer bo reserved as a compliment to the guest of the family table. Mixing Pointers Form the habit of sifting all the dry Ingredients together the night boforo and have tho egg, milk, and shortening at hand, ready -to mix In tho morning. Pans may be oiled and the mixing, utensils set out. Here is a recipe which has been re quested of us and as thoro seemB to bo a shortage among our column readers of recipes using sour milk. Hnin M urn us -1 cup flour 1 cup bran 14 cup brown sugar 1ft teaspoon soda 4 teaspoon salt I teanpoon baking powder Vi cup chopped dates l oup sour milk ! 1 egg ! 3 tablespoons molted shortening !

To bake set j the oven regulator at 365 degrees I F. and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. , - WASHINGTON VP) A giant tube which might X-ray a whole building is in prospect. This '(electrical leviathan Is one of tho alms of three young Carnegie In stitution scientists who have Just re ceived the $1,000 annual prizo of the American Association for tho Ad vancement of Science. Their award was for making a 2,000,000-volt X-ray tube producing artificial radium rays that pene trated three inches of lead. The win ners are Doctors M. A, Tuvc, L. R. Hnfstad and O. Dahl. Having learned how to mako b tube that does not break under this extremely high voltage, they expect to produce a ray engendering force of from 6,000.000 to 10.000,000 volts. So far the rays projeotod with pressure of 2,000,000 volts havo been "turned on" .for r.nly a few ml months cf a second owing to the danger of Injuring both tho men working with them and the laboratory instru ments. Thus while these rays have as great a penetrating power s radium -rays at their highest intensity, they bave been "In action" only momentarily. Although they have prospective therapeutic value in -treatment of cancer. Just as radium has, their uso in medicine-is to be, determined by medical authorities, the scientists sav. In addition to the scientific value i cf Hit experiments in in hit's efforts to master somo of the 'mysteries of terrestrial magnetism, the high volt age tube- has potential commercial utilization in various fields. With tubes producing extremely intense X -radiations, X-ray' pictures conceivably could bo taken through a wholo building. These X-rnyn prob ably could bo used In revealing flaws In castings many fact thick. .Tho effective range at present Is only a few inches. Miss Martin wll lbe pleased to an- swer any questions concerning your : oullnary problems. Leave your ques tions at tho local office of the Nat . ural Gas corporation and these will bo answered in the weekly column, or Include stamped, self addressod envelop for personal answer.
