Separating the wheat from the chaff in gas ranges is done with the initials CP, standing for “certified performance.” | These initials are placed ‘on every gas range which meets no less than 22 requirements of the American Gas Associa-| tion Laboratories. Among tHe improvements which have been refinea and applied to the new stoves is the arrangement and design of the top-stove burners sb that more of the heat energy goes into the fobd vou are cooking. Fach range has at least one giant burner that ‘is larger and gives more heat than the regular size top burner.

LOW FLAME BAKING MADE SAFE AND SURE

Directions for baking and roasting at low temperatures occur with greater freguence in modern codk books than in older books. That's because desighers of gas ranges realized certain foods baked inuch better at a temperature below 300 degrees, and set about devising pven burners capable of reducing to the small flames necessary to maintain a temperature as low as desired, ‘without going out—thus making low temperature baking and meat roasting safe and sure

These two pases, of varying specific gravity, were ‘mixed in varying quantities, When the consumption was low, almost straight oven gas wag sent through the mains When ‘consumption was high, a Iarge amount lof water gas was mixed with the oven product, changing the specific [gravity | This variation brought fhdighant complaints from housewives about the gas popping out or not burning right. Water Gas Use Vimited This ‘was remedied by tion ‘of water gas sets at pect St, plant. The water -as |vsed largely to underfire the coke lovens, thus releasing more oven gas to be sent to consumers, Now the [amount of water gas added to oven gas, ‘even ‘during heavy ‘consumption ‘periods, ‘is limited to 10 per cent This small percentage does not affact the burning quality of the gas in appliance burners, which are ad-

Another problem back in 1935 ways pressure. There was an inudequate number of compressors at te plant, and the utility had no way of knowing when pressure was [ow in a ‘particular section of the ¢ity until the consumers complained Under Cily administration, (he utility has insta'led additional compressors, many miles of high pressure ‘mains to boost the pressure at outlying points, and teleme ‘ic pressure gauges in various sections of the city. Gauges Check Pressure Whenever the pressive in section drops even slightly, the gauges automatically transmit the gauge reading by phone wire to the utility's distribution center, and the compressors are stepped up. The mverage daily €as consumption when the City took over was about B.000000 cubic feet, and showed little signs of increasing There were two principal reasons Comparatively high rates and lack of main ‘extensions Industries found it cheaper in manv instances to ‘manufacture their own gas, or burn =ome other fuel, because of the rates In the five-year period, the average anily consumption has been increased about 50 per cent. In the first six months this year it was more than 12 millions compared to eight ‘millions in 1935. Whereas the highest one-dav consumption in 1935 was 10 ‘million cubic feet, it reached 19500000

cubfe feet on Jan. 18, 1940 This noteworthy increase in conw sumption was accomplished ih seve eral ways First, a program of main sions was Begun. In five vears, utility has added more than 160 miles ‘of new mains, covering not only new sections ‘in Indianapolis, but ‘extending service to such conre munities Southport, Edgewood, Lawrence, Fit Benjamin Harrison, Ravenswood, Williams Creek and Ben Davis, The ‘utility ‘now ‘has more than 1030 miles of mains The number of meters in use has increased from 77364 on the day the City took over the utility to 90= 800 last June 30, a gain of more than 13.000. And the number of meters still i= ‘increasing each month Another reason for increased cone sumption has been rate reductions, The utility reduced ‘its rates 10 cents a 1000 cubic feet for the first steps of the rate schedule in 10936, Adjustments in the schedule alsh were made ta permit consumers th earn a lower rate more quickly, That is, several intermediate steps were inserted in the schedule ins stead forcing consumers to sh several thousand cubic feet before the rate dropped

City Rates Stil To ‘encourage industrial use. thn rate schedule was revised to mala it ‘possible for heavy consumers to errn a 28-¢ent rate instead of the previous bottom rate of cents, This latter step not only brought a heavy increase in the number of homies heated hy eas, but increased the number and average consumpe tion of gas-using industries Industrial plants used an averages of only about 55 million cubic fect of gas a month in 1935, with an average consumption of only 95.700 Since then the consumption has risen steadily Last year, the industrial consump tion averaged 79500000 a month, With the average industrial metep recording 174.000 cubic feet The ‘total industrial consumption the first six months this vear was ctibic feet ahead of tha same period last year, Officials of the utility assert (hat the present gas rates here compare most favorably with those of oihey Indiana cities, even those having natural gas Tn ‘conneciion With the recent changeover in several Tndiana towns to natural gas, with a resultant 36 per cent rate reduction, the utility executives ‘made a comparative study of the rates charged here and the new low rates in these cities ac= quiring natural gas The study, they said, revealsd The dianapolis rates are still lower than the other cities’ newly on the basis of B. 1 means British Therman leat units
