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.

; Of all tho fragrant odors of break

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

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
