' the building of a municipal swimming pool was taken by the council last evening, the proposition is still being discussed by the councilmen and Mayor Ji M. DeVoss, and is one of the foremost questions in the minds of the city officials. The councilm-en and Mayor DeVoss are unanimous in their opinion that Decatur should have a municipal owned swimming pool. They are working with the idea in view of building one at the water works park before next , 'summer. ' Yesterday several of the councilmen ami Mayor DeVoss motored to Del’phos. Ohio. . where they looped over the pool in that city and were inform ed that the Kiwanis Club built the pool while the Knights of Columbus 'erected the bath houses and concession stands. A charge of fifteen cents is made when a bather does not bring I his own suit or towel. A public dress- | ing room is also at the service of the bathers. There are one or two other bath houses, for which a charge is made when used. The Decatur officials believe that if a swimming pool is constructed here that the city as a whole should defray the exnense of building it and that the place be supervised under the direction of the city council. The officials, it was stated, do not favor the raising of subscriptions with which to build the pool. They believe’ that it should be a municipni, proposition and that if any lodge or club or individual wished to donate to the building of the pool that they; aid in constructing separate bath • houses and the like. It is likely that some definite action towards the b-illding of the pool will be taken within the next month In the meantime the eonnellmen win prepare the buds'', of estimated expenses for V'2s am! an appropriation will lihel- be s included for the building of the pool.

Turn oul the gas and relight it in the event that there is an interval when gas is not needed. Don’t bake a pie or biscuits alone in a gas oven. Use the oven to its fullest capacity on baking days; plan to have a baked dinner. For small family use triple saucepans, set over one burner. You can cook three vegetables for the cost of cooking one. Ordinary saucepans will cook one vegetable at a t ime. The diameter of cooking utensils should be slightly larger than that of. the top burners of the range; to avoid wasting heat on the outside of the utensil. Do not light any top cooking burners on your gas range until you are ready to use them. Do not allo\ z any burner to remain

Don’t heat a kettle full of water when you need only a small quantity. Burners when properly adjusted should burn a blue flame only. Don’t keep a full flame under a container when water has reached the boiling point. Turn down the flame, or set the container over the gmall simmer burner. Itemember that gas is no hotter ten minutes after a burner is -ißhted, than it is the instant it is lighted. Neither is boiling water hotter after it has reached the boiling point.
