BOUSZtrOLD ARTS tUSPT How to Read Your Own Gas Meter Can you read your meter? Or if you can, do you ever read it? We near a lot about unduly high gas Dills, yet it is a very simple matter to verify your bills from month to month. We often wonder if there is gas escaping in the hous. You can discover that fact also by read ng the meter. - ' , The System of Reading. If you notice the face of the meter, you will find it has three or four dials. The face of each dial reads from 0 to 9, the order being that on a clock face. Above each dial s written 100. 1.000. 10,000 or 1QQ,. US.

The number above the dial represents the number of cubic feet of 'gas used when the hand has made one complete circuit of that particular dial Thus when the hand has gone around the 1,000 dial, 1,000 cubic feet of gas has been used. Hence each division of that particular dial is worth 100, and on each dial the divisions are worth just one-tenth of the amount print ed above the dial. To read the meter, read each particular dial and add results. Thus with the hand of the 100,000 dial between 4 and 5, the hand of the 10,000 dial between 8 and 9, the hand of the 1,000 dial between 0 and 1, and the hand of the 100 diak between 6 and 7. the complete reading would be 48,060. Always read to the smaller figure on the dial when the hand is be tween two figures. Well, what is the point of all this? lhe company reads the meter each month, as you all know, then records the readings, and, you pay the difference between trie' readings. Thus if your reading last month was as indicated above, 48,060, and your reading this month is 50.380, you would be charged the difference, or 2,520. The price per 1,000 cubic feet is always printed on the bill; so that it is an easy matter to verify the arithmetic. If you verify each month's reading and find it correct, your bill must be correct, unless 'there ,is a leak somewhere in the house., I have been told that the gas pressure af fects the amount of gas used, that with very high pressure more gas is used than is necessary, but that cause of high bills cannot be dis covered through study of a meter. Detecting Gas Leaks. If you suspect a small leak in the house, read the meter some time when no gas is being .used in the house. This test is impossible if one has a self-lighter on the stove. If you have pilot lights on the gas fixtures it is possible to turn the stop cock off completely during this test. After reading the meter, do not use any gas in the house for an hour or twb; then go back and read the meter a second time. If it registers more than the last read ing, of course some gas has es caped. This test is possible only if one has a dial registering as low as 10 feet. Some meters have dials which register only one or two feet. These would give a very sensitive test. t Spring Recipes.

The puffings which delighted our grandmothers when ' they studied the pages of Godey's Ladies' book in the late sixties have returned to add loveliness to the spring wardrobe. An effective afternoon gown of mid night blue taffeta is made withan old fashioned long-waisted basque. The deep U neck is outlined with a corded puffing. The opening is filled in with a vest of tucked or gandie and lace, both 'ecru and color. A color of the same material finishes the neck. The sleeves are quaintly old fashioned and end in a bell-shaped cuff made of corded puffings. The long waist line is edged with a puffing, and a sash of taffeta ties at the back. The gath ered skirt is held in a narrow line around the feet by puffing shirred on cord. This gown is extremely picturesque and smart. Rosewater was assisted by her as sistant major, Mrs. W. H.

Dear Miss Fairfax: We are two boys, 14 and 15 years of age, in the second year of high school. ' We are quite popular with both aex and considered quite attractive. - Of late we have been invited to about two parties a week, Our .parents don't approve of us going. Tne ooys can us sissies De cause we don't go and we are among the oldest in the crowd. .We have two girl friends who are very respectful and who go to these parties. I do not care, to go all the tima. but I don't think that going on Friday would hurt any thing. One of us boy's father is a preacher and the other a school teacher, so we have to go to Sun day school and church every Sun day while the rest of the boys have a good time. Now. Miss Fairfax, don't you think we are old enough to go out Friday night with a girl. I must close. Hoping to see my letter in print We remain. MtJTT and JEFF. Tou boys are mere children. No wonder your parents object' to your going to parties two nights aweek. Tou need all your strength and plenty of sleep at 14 and IS unless you wish to dwarf your brain and body. Think of girls and parties when you finish high school and have a wes bit more knowledge on which to base your likes and dis likes. ' .. .... .. Good Little Peggy. Dear Miss Fairfax, Omaha Bee: Please let me, too, have the advan tage of your advice. I am 17 years old, and am not beautiful. Just the ordinary type. About a year ago I moved out here a stranger, and be came acquained with some who were considered the nicest kind of girls, but they are so different from the girls I have been accustomed to chum with, so different in actions, I mean. They tell me that if I don't change and act like them I won't be popular with the boys. Now, I don't want this to happen, as I-like a good time. My mother always told me that the forward and bold kind only charmed for a while and the boys soon .tire tf them and would turn to the. modest lily. But some how I am beginning to believe that this is an pld-fashioned maxim and with the boys don't hold true any more. What do you think? And what shall I -do? Thanking you in advance, I remain, .LONESOME. An overwhelming desire to be popular Mth the boys had kept more girls from the limelight than, any other one .thing.

Now, Miss Fairfax, I am going to ask you for some advice which may seem foolish to you, but will mean a great deal to me. I am in love with two boys and they both seem to think a great deal of me. One has proposed to me and I'm expecting the other one to at most any time. (I am almost 18 years old and will soon be through high, school). Now, Miss Fairfax,, one of these boys lives here, but the other one lives in another town.. Neither of the boys know I love any once else. They both think they are tha "only - man." Which one shall I marry? You will, perhaps, tell ma to con sult my parents. I have already done this and they tell me to do Just as I please that I will have to live with him, not them.
