March 31, the two clubs will have us their guest, former Governor James P. Goodrich, who spent some time in Russia and has a knowledge of what the new order of things over there means. The meeting promises to be a most interesting one. it appears that the kidnapers of the Lindbergh baby are bidding out for more money or are afrnid to deliver the baby. Whatever the reason, the world would rejoice if the little follow was returned to its parents. No word to the contrary, the public is lead to believe that the child is alive and that is sufficient to keep everyone hopeful. Before old King Tut died he stipulated that all his personal possessions be buried with him and his orders were carried out accordingly. He was a selfish old fellow and curtailed the progress of his country in the same way as the man or woman of today who expects all the rights and privileges of the nation without lending a helping hand. Sometime this month the annual membership drive of the Decatur Chamber of Commerce will be made and as citizens having the interest of the community at heart, it's your duty to join the organization. A five dollar membership from 150 to 200 persons gives the Chamber a budget of between $750 and SI,OOO a year, out of which the oiganization must carry on activities. maintain an office and cooperate in a financial way with community projects.

| “At any rate lam vindicated,” , Jetta told me as we sat in her unusual white living-room. EmphaI sizing her point, she leaned forward ’ tn the high backed chair and made a forcible gesture with her expres- ■ ' give hands ® The orchid-like beauty of this actress, which first created a sensation in “'rhe Bright Shawl," is as compelling as ever. And like ' I ail people with a long grievance, j j she talks volubly and with emo- - ' tion. “1 knew 1 was right." she exclaimed, "and I insisted on the . j case being tried, even though a | settlement was offered. If I had , lost, I would have been 590.000 poorer But whatever my faults ! are, I have never in my life born afraid. I held out and think the ' decision in my favor is an impor- . i lent one, not only for me but for | i I my fellow players." Now that the long litigation is over, Jetta would like to come hack. If she doesn't there's alS ways her interest in the interiordecorating work of her husband, i Harold W Grieve, and, of course, the $90,000. Jetta has banked ! nearly all of this money. The only extravagance she allowed herself i was a diamond bracelet and wristI watch. * ONE TO LOOK FOR Who fails to look with awe on the screen’s recreation of the living presence of actors who have passed on. i Ralph Staub, of “Screen Snapshots. plans to complete a “memorial day" of famous stars now gone.

SURVEY SHOWS EXPANSION OF ! GAS INDUSTRY Customers Increase 40 Per Cent Over TenYear Period New York. Mar. 12. -(U.R)-The number of customers served by the: gas industry increased between Jan I 1. 1921. and Jan. 1. 1931, from 11,I 452.000 to 14,909,000, a gain of 40 per cent, according to a survey by the American Gas Association. Manufactured gas customers in i ci eased from 8.837,000 to 10,471,901'| a gain of 19 per cent. Natural gas customers increased from 3.415,0091 to 5,534.090, a gain of 111 per cent The increase in the number of I natural gas customers has result-j ed largely from the construction I of numerous pipe lines. In tlnj lust five years millions «»f dollars, have been spent tor the construc-l tion of natural gas pipe lines, some! of which are over 1,000 miles long j Used In 19 States Ten years ago natural gas was| distributed in 19 states. Now nat l ttral gas is distributed in 34 states. At present natural gas, only, is dis-| tributed in Kansas. New Mexico. Louisiana. Oklahoma and Texas, 'and over 90 per cent of the gas' customers in West Virginia, Ken-| tucky, Mississippi. Arkansas. Utah J Colorado. Montana. Wyoming, and California are being served with: natural supply. While the natural gas industry, lias expanded, the manufactured 1 jgas industry has maintained a j steady, but less phenomenal | I growth. As time goes on. the division between the manufactured an>l natural branches of the gas .industry is rapidly disappearing.' I Many large communities formerly ! served with manufactured gas are’ I now being served w ith natural gas. |or a mixture of the two. Rapid Stride I In Texas, the gas industry has | 1 nade remarkable strides, due to 1 the discovery of prolific natural 'gas resources ami the rapid con strip tion of pipe line networks. According to a report of the Railroad Commission of Tex: s. there were 247 communities in Texas supi t iled with gas on Jan. 1. 1928. According to the recent survey, there ■ were 452 communities supplied with! ";gas on Jan. 1, 1931. This indicates ■’that gas service was established iAi ovi-r 409 communities in Texas I in the three-year period. On Jan. 1. 1931. a total of 7.X32 I. immunities were supplied with gas. of which 3 071 were being servtod with nmoifa<-t»rejl 4ras. 4.450 1 served with natural gas. and 118 served with liquefied petroleum I gas distributed through mains.
