DELL FUR ON GAS FUTURE

-Interviewed touay, Morse Dell Plain, vice-president of the Northern Indiana

Gas & Electric-Co.,-spoke of the outstanding points'brought out in the American Gaa Association convention which was held in Chicago last week and which. he attended. "Wo are -all -very much concerned about the oil : situation," he said. -Oil, as you know, plays, a very important f art in the inr.iiufactui ingr of the water gas which la' used by this community and the future price of oilis of great importance to : us . Oil experts at the co-.iveutin showed that, the late exceedingly low prices will never return. Already the - price is - rising, one hundred per cent increase ' having been made within the last month. As business regains its normalcy and the demand for oil increases so will its price increase. That. much is certain. Another thing that i3 certain is the fact that, the oil available la being used so rapidly that' the supply will very soon be exhausted. By 'very soon' I don't mean next ear or-the ear after, but if consumption maintains its normal level certainly within the life t:mo of mosi of th.j citizens of Hammond. How to conserve this oil 'supply and to keep down the price by lowering the demaud is one of the problems the convention discussed. The logical s-ofut.Oii arrived at was a reduction of the heat unit standard. This has been done VCanada and Euioi": with great success and has resulted in lower jas rates which are saving the consuming pub'le millions of dollars annua'ty. For oxample, whereas we here in t?a;rirnonohave to manufacture gas having a eV't B. T. V. standard, in Canada the standard is 4i0 B. T. lYs, and In England some localities aelua'.y hae it ari low as 3D0 B. T." U.'s. our standard here could very easily be reduced without the least los.s of efficiency r- tne consumer and with corresponding reductions in rates, tor the less oil we use per thousand cubic feet the 1cm we can afford to - charge per thousand cubic feet. - "Tha financial situation confronting , -

the gas Industry, without betttg unduly pessimistic, la .very dark. Millions of dollars will be required to satisfy thr nation' demands for gas aervice within the next few years. "Why not raise the money as yo-. did in the past," was askec. "Not the slightest chance," repliethe gas chief. "When the type of investor to whom the utilities appealed In the past can now put his money into tax exempt securities such as municipal and lederal bonds do you thinl. he Is going to worry much about a utility that cannot offer anything like the eame inducement? Tnere are only two courses open, either the Public Service Commission must allow us to earn as good a return aa those tax free municipal and federal bonds or else the government must give public utility investment the name tax free status. This Is a serious matter as It can precipitate or prevent a real crisis in the future when reople ask for gas service in fact demand It as a necessity, ami there will be no funds with which to provide it. Both of these matters, the lower standard and the financial situation, are in the people's hands. They pay the piper and they have a perfect right to call the tune, but If the plpei some day complains that he can't extend his repertoire because he hasn't been earning enough money to buy more music It's the people's fault and not the piper's, isn't It?"

VAUDEVILLE ACT AT PARTHENON Now that the big five day run film attractions at the local movie houses have ended temporarily, the Parthenon theatre will resume its old policy of a high class pho-toplay running for three days with a big time act of vaudeville to finish out the program. The management has been fortunate in securing a pair of talented young musicians, full of pep and pleasing personality, who prepent an act of real musical entertainment, with Tiolin and cello. To. those that favor either Operatic airs', musical comedy hits, classical selections or latest song hits, this act Is epecially appealing. Thee two musicians favor every type of music lover that their audience contains and work hard in every respect to please all. An act really worth seeing and one of the headliners in large vaudeville houses throughout the country. "The Faith Htaler," a Paramount feature, presenting Milton Sills of "Behold My Wife" fame, is the film attraction. This is said to be one of the moat beautiful pictures produced this season. The theme is strong and sit

uations are often most dramatic. Throughout the action runs the threads of a fine lave story. . . . .
